1In Spanish textual analysis, what is the primary communicative purpose of an argumentative text (texto argumentativo)?
A.To provide objective instructions on how to perform a technical process
B.To convince or persuade the reader of a specific thesis using logical or emotional arguments
C.To narrate a chronological sequence of fictional events without authorial opinion
D.To offer a neutral definition of specialized scientific concepts
Explanation: Argumentative texts aim to persuade or convince the receiver about a specific thesis or viewpoint using structured arguments. They combine subjective modalization markers with logical reasoning, counter-arguments, and real-world examples. In contrast, expository or instructional texts focus on objective information or procedural guidance.
2Which of the following elements represents a marker of spatial deixis (deixis espacial) in Spanish?
A.Ayer
B.Nosotros
C.Aquí
D.Mañana
Explanation: 'Aquí' is a demonstrative adverb of place that anchors the reference relative to the speaker's location at the moment of speech, making it a spatial deictic marker. Spatial deixis locates objects or persons in space relative to the enunciation frame.
3In the phrase 'Nosotros los ciudadanos debemos exigir transparencia', what pragmatic effect does the use of inclusive personal deixis ('nosotros') achieve?
A.It distances the author from the readers to maintain objective neutrality
B.It creates empathy and solidarity by involving both the author and the audience in a shared collective identity
C.It indicates that the statement applies exclusively to a small elite group of experts
D.It shifts the deictic origo to an unknown third party
Explanation: Inclusive first-person plural deixis ('nosotros') encompasses both the speaker/author and the addressees. In persuasive and opinion texts, this strategy builds rapport, shared responsibility, and emotional solidarity with the reader.
4Which set of words functions exclusively as temporal deictic markers (deixis temporal) in a narrative text?
A.Este, ese, aquel
B.Ahora, entonces, la semana pasada
C.Cerca, lejos, enfrente
D.Yo, tú, él
Explanation: 'Ahora', 'entonces', and 'la semana pasada' anchor events relative to the timeline of enunciation or narrative reference time, making them temporal deictic expressions.
5What is the term for linguistic mechanisms that express the speaker's subjective attitude, evaluation, or degree of certainty toward the content of their utterance?
A.Anaphora (Anáfora)
B.Modalization (Modalización)
C.Cataphora (Catáfora)
D.Ellipsis (Elipsis)
Explanation: Modalization (modalización) encompasses all linguistic resources—such as evaluative adjectives, modal adverbs, epistemic verbs, and rhetorical devices—by which an author reveals their presence, subjective judgment, or attitude in a text.
6Which of the following sentences contains an explicit marker of epistemic modality expressing probability or doubt?
A.El agua hierve a cien grados Celsius
B.Quizás hayan suspendido la sesión por falta de tiempo
C.El rector inauguró oficialmente el nuevo pabellón universitario
D.Madrid es la capital del Reino de España
Explanation: 'Quizás' combined with the subjunctive mood ('hayan suspendido') expresses epistemic modality, indicating that the speaker regards the proposition as probable or uncertain rather than an established fact.
7In the sentence 'Llegó el inspector de sanidad. Éste revisó minuciosamente la cocina', what grammatical cohesion mechanism is exemplified by 'Éste'?
A.Cataphora (Catáfora)
B.Anaphora (Anáfora)
C.Ellipsis (Elipsis)
D.Hyperonymy (Hiperonimia)
Explanation: 'Éste' functions anaphorically because it refers back to an antecedent noun phrase ('el inspector de sanidad') previously introduced in the text, avoiding redundant repetition.
8Identify the sentence that contains a clear example of cataphora (catáfora).
A.Compré manzanas rojas; eran muy dulces
B.Se lo advertí a Juan: no debía conducir de noche
C.Pedro estudia medicina; su hermana, derecho
D.El doctor salió del hospital a las cinco
Explanation: In 'Se lo advertí a Juan', the pronoun 'lo' refers forward to the clause introduced right after ('no debía conducir de noche'), and 'se' refers forward to 'a Juan'. Forward-pointing reference is the defining characteristic of cataphora.
9In the second clause of 'Mi padre prefiere la música clásica; mi madre, la ópera', which cohesion mechanism is employed?
A.Pronominal cataphora
B.Verbal ellipsis
C.Lexical repetition
D.Spatial deixis
Explanation: The comma after 'mi madre' replaces the omitted verb 'prefiere' to avoid repetition. The omission of recoverable words is known as verbal ellipsis (elipsis verbal).
10Replacing the specific noun 'coche' with the broader term 'vehículo' later in a paragraph is an example of lexical cohesion achieved through:
A.Hyponymy (Hiponimia)
B.Hyperonymy (Hiperonimia)
C.Antonymy (Antonimia)
D.Parasynthesis (Parasíntesis)
Explanation: 'Vehículo' is a hyperonym (a general category term) encompassing 'coche' (a hyponym). Using a hyperonym to refer back to a specific noun ensures lexical variation while maintaining cohesion.
