1In textual cohesion analysis, what type of cohesive mechanism is exemplified by the pronoun 'ella' in the sentence: 'Laura aprobó las oposiciones; ella había estudiado durante dos años con gran disciplina'?
A.Anáfora pronominal
B.Catáfora léxica
C.Deixis espacial
D.Elipsis verbal
Explanation: Anáfora pronominal occurs when a pronoun ('ella') refers back to an antecedent previously introduced in the text ('Laura'). This avoids repetitive nominal repetition and maintains textual cohesion.
2Which of the following sentences contains an explicit marker of attitude/opinion showing speaker modalization (modalización valorativa)?
A.El informe fue publicado el pasado martes por el ministerio.
B.Lamentablemente, las medidas acordadas llegaron demasiado tarde para evitar el perjuicio.
C.La temperatura media descendió tres grados en el archipiélago balear.
D.Los estudiantes redactaron el comentario de texto durante la sesión.
Explanation: The evaluator adverb 'Lamentablemente' explicitly encodes the speaker's subjective stance and emotional assessment regarding the event. Modalización reflects the presence of the enunciator in the discourse.
3When analyzing the structure of an opinion article (artículo de opinión) for PAU, what defines an 'estructura deductiva' (o analizante)?
A.The thesis is repeated in identical words at the start, middle, and end of each paragraph.
B.The text lacks a clear thesis and presents only contradictory anecdotes.
C.The thesis is presented at the beginning of the text and subsequently supported by arguments.
D.The thesis appears only at the very end as a final synthesis of the preceding arguments.
Explanation: In a deductive (analyzante) structure, the author formulates the central thesis in the introductory section and then unfolds supporting arguments, examples, and evidence throughout the body.
4In the sentence 'Nosotros nos reuniremos aquí, en esta sala, mañana por la mañana', which element serves as a marker of 'deixis espacial'?
A.mañana
B.reuniremos
C.Nosotros
D.aquí
Explanation: The adverb 'aquí' functions as a spatial deictic element (deixis espacial) because its reference depends directly on the physical location of the speaker at the time of utterance.
5Identify the connector that introduces a relation of opposition or counter-argumentation (conector contraargumentativo) in the following statement: 'El equipo trabajó durante meses; ________, los resultados no fueron los esperados.'
A.sin embargo
B.por consiguiente
C.en primer lugar
D.es decir
Explanation: 'Sin embargo' is an adversative/counter-argumentative discourse marker that introduces a contrast or limitation to the preceding statement.

A.To copy the longest paragraph verbatim from the source passage.
B.To state the central idea concisely, abstractly, and objectively in a single noun phrase without minor details.
C.To list every proper noun and date mentioned in the text in chronological order.
D.To write a personal critique expressing whether you agree with the author's opinion.
Explanation: The 'tema' must synthesize the core thesis or central subject of the text in a concise, abstract noun phrase (typically 8–15 words) without anecdotal details or subjective commentary.
7Which discourse marker in the sentence 'La neuroplasticidad es constante; ______, el cerebro mantiene la capacidad de adaptarse toda la vida' serves a reformulative or explanatory purpose (marcador de reformulación)?
A.en cambio
B.de ahí que
C.es decir
D.por lo tanto
Explanation: 'Es decir' introduces a reformulation (reformulador explicativo) that clarifies or explains the preceding statement ('La neuroplasticidad es constante') in simpler terms.
8What linguistic phenomenon is illustrated in the sentence 'Le advertí lo siguiente: no vuelvas a confiar en promesas vacías'?
A.Anáfora, because 'lo siguiente' refers back to a previously stated concept.
B.Elipsis, because the main verb is omitted in the second clause.
C.Deixis social, because 'le' establishes a formal hierarchical distinction.
D.Catáfora, because 'lo siguiente' points forward to the upcoming clause.
Explanation: Cataphora (catáfora) occurs when a linguistic element ('lo siguiente') anticipates information that will be fully specified later in the discourse ('no vuelvas a confiar...').
9Which linguistic feature is characteristic of a formal academic/scientific register (registro formal-científico) in Spanish text commentary?

B.Dominance of imperative verbs directed to a second-person informal listener.
C.Abundant emotional exclamations and loose syntactic fragments.
D.Frequent use of colloquial interjections and subjective diminutives.
Explanation: Formal academic and scientific texts prioritize objectivity, precision, and clarity through specialized technical terms (tecnicismos), third-person passive or impersonal constructions, and denotative vocabulary.

B.Función apelativa o conativa
C.Función metalingüística
