A.Anáfora pronominal
B.Catáfora léxica
C.Deixis espacial
D.Elipsis nominal
Explanation: Anáfora pronominal occurs when a personal, demonstrative, or relative pronoun ('éste') refers back to an antecedent noun phrase ('el artículo') previously mentioned in the text.
2Which of the following sentences contains an explicit modalizing marker of speaker subjectivity (modalización valorativa)?
A.El informe gubernamental contiene exactamente noventa páginas.
B.Lamentablemente, las autoridades reaccionaron demasiado tarde ante la crisis.
C.La conferencia se celebrará el próximo martes a las diez de la mañana.
D.Los participantes entregaron sus solicitudes en el registro oficial.
Explanation: The evaluative adverb 'Lamentablemente' and adverbial modifier 'demasiado tarde' explicitly convey the author's negative subjective stance and moral judgment regarding the reaction time.
3What cohesive function is performed by the connector 'sin embargo' in the sentence: 'Estudió durante semanas para el examen; sin embargo, no obtuvo la calificación deseada'?
A.Marcador aditivo
B.Marcador adversativo o contraargumentativo
C.Marcador explicativo
D.Marcador temporal
Explanation: The discourse marker 'sin embargo' functions as a contra-argumentative or adversative connector, introducing an obstacle or unexpected result that contrasts with the expectation set by the preceding clause.
4In pragmatics and textual commentary, which deictic category is instantiated by the adverb 'ayer' and the past tense verb 'llegaron' in the utterance: 'Ayer llegaron a la ciudad'?
A.Deixis temporal
B.Deixis social
C.Deixis espacial
D.Deixis discursiva
Explanation: Deixis temporal anchors the temporal reference of the utterance relative to the moment of speech, indicated here by the temporal adverb 'ayer' and the preterite tense inflection.
5Which argument type relies on invoking the statement of an recognized expert, institution, or prestigious research study to defend a thesis: 'Según la Organización Mundial de la Salud, la contaminación atmosférica causa millones de muertes anuales'?
A.Argumento de experiencia personal
B.Argumento de autoridad
C.Argumento analógico
D.Argumento afectivo-emotivo
Explanation: An argumento de autoridad supports a thesis by citing a recognized institution (World Health Organization) or specialist whose expertise lends credibility to the claim.

A.Texto expositivo-explicativo puro
B.Texto periodístico argumentativo
C.Texto instructivo-normativo
D.Texto literario lírico
Explanation: An opinion column in journalism is a texto periodístico argumentativo because its fundamental objective is to present a subjective thesis supported by arguments to influence reader opinions.
7Which mechanism of lexical-semantic cohesion is instantiated when a general hyperonym ('vehículo') replaces a specific hyponym ('coche') in subsequent sentences?
A.Recurrencia hiperonímica
B.Sinonimia total literal
C.Catáfora pronominal
D.Deixis personal
Explanation: Recurrencia hiperonímica maintains textual cohesion by replacing a narrower, specific term (hyponym) with a broader, superordinate category term (hyperonym) to avoid repetitive phrasing.
8Which discourse connector is used to introduce a rephrasing or clarification of previously stated information (marcador reformulador explicativo)?
A.Por consiguiente
B.Es decir
C.En primer lugar
D.No obstante
Explanation: The connector 'es decir' is an explanatory reformulator used to explain, clarify, or restate an idea in clearer or more accessible terms.
9What cohesive device anticipates a full explanation that will be revealed later in the sentence: 'Le dijo esto: que no volvería a mentir'?
A.Catáfora pronominal
B.Anáfora léxica
C.Elipsis verbal
D.Deixis espacial
Explanation: Catáfora occurs when a word (the neuter demonstrative 'esto') refers forward to an element ('que no volvería a mentir') introduced immediately afterward.
10In an argumentative essay, which function is fulfilled by presenting counter-arguments (contraargumentación) before refuting them?
A.Desacreditar previamente las objeciones previsibles para reforzar la tesis principal
B.Exponer hechos puramente objetivos sin emitir juicio alguno
C.Resumir el texto de forma completamente neutral
D.Enumerar las fuentes bibliográficas al final del ensayo
Explanation: Anticipating counter-arguments allows the author to neutralize potential objections before the reader formulates them, thereby strengthening the main thesis.
