Sample Concorso Allievi Carabinieri Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Concorso Allievi Carabinieri exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In standard Italian orthography, why is the form 'qual è' written without an apostrophe?

A.Because it undergoes elision (elisione) before a vowel

B.Because it is an instance of apocope or truncation (troncamento), as 'qual' exists independently before consonants

C.Because interrogative pronouns are never permitted to bear apostrophes under Italian grammar rules

D.Because the apostrophe is reserved exclusively for plural feminine adjectives

Explanation: In Italian grammar, 'qual è' is written without an apostrophe because it is a case of truncation (troncamento), not elision (elisione). Since the form 'qual' exists autonomously in the language even before a consonant (e.g., 'qual buon vento'), dropping the final vowel does not require a graphical apostrophe.

2Which of the following sentences correctly uses combined indirect and direct object pronouns (pronomi combinati) in Italian?

A.Ho incontrato Marco e gli la ho consegnata ieri mattina.

B.Ho incontrato Marco e gliela ho consegnata ieri mattina.

C.Ho incontrato Marco e le la ho consegnata ieri mattina.

D.Ho incontrato Marco e gliene ho consegnata la borsa ieri mattina.

Explanation: When the third-person masculine indirect pronoun 'gli' combines with the feminine direct pronoun 'la', they merge into the single graphical word 'gliela' with an intrusive 'e'. Therefore, 'gliela ho consegnata' (or 'gliel'ho consegnata') is grammatically correct.

3In the hypothetical period of unreality in the present (periodo ipotetico dell'irrealtà nel presente), which verbal sequence is grammatically correct?

A.Se avrei tempo, verrei volentieri alla cerimonia.

B.Se avessi tempo, verrei volentieri alla cerimonia.

C.Se ho tempo, verrei volentieri alla cerimonia.

D.Se avessi tempo, venivo volentieri alla cerimonia.

Explanation: In standard Italian, the hypothetical clause of unreality in the present (terzo tipo or secondo tipo depending on possibility vs. counterfactual framing) requires the congiuntivo imperfetto in the protasis ('Se avessi tempo') and the condizionale presente in the apodosis ('verrei volentieri').

4In logical analysis (analisi logica), what syntactic function is performed by the italicized phrase in: 'La caserma fu danneggiata *dal violento nubifragio*'?

A.Complemento di causa efficiente

B.Complemento d'agente

C.Complemento di causa

D.Complemento di mezzo o strumento

Explanation: In a passive sentence, the agent that performs the action is called 'complemento d'agente' if it is an animate being (person or animal) and 'complemento di causa efficiente' if it is an inanimate object or natural force, such as 'dal violento nubifragio'.

5What is the correct plural form of the compound noun 'il capostazione' (station master) in Italian?

A.I capistazione

B.I capostazione

C.I capostazioni

D.I capistazioni

Explanation: For compound nouns formed by 'capo' + noun where 'capo' designates a head or chief of an organization, activity, or place, only the first element 'capo' pluralizes: hence 'i capistazione'.

6In the analysis of the period (analisi del periodo), identify the subordinate clause in: 'È necessario *che tutti i candidati presentino il documento d'identità*'.

A.Proposizione subordinata oggettiva

B.Proposizione subordinata soggettiva

C.Proposizione subordinata dichiarativa

D.Proposizione subordinata relativa

Explanation: The subordinate clause 'che tutti i candidati presentino il documento' serves as the grammatical subject of the impersonal verb phrase 'È necessario' (which lacks an explicit personal subject). Therefore, it is a 'proposizione subordinata soggettiva'.

7Which of the following phrases contains an adjective in the relative superlative degree (superlativo relativo)?

A.Il Comandante ha mostrato un comportamento estremamente professionale.

B.Quell'allievo è il più veloce del battaglione nelle prove fisiche.

C.La relazione di servizio era accuratissima in ogni dettaglio.

D.L'intervento della pattuglia è stato assai tempestivo.

Explanation: A relative superlative expresses the highest degree of a quality relative to a defined group or context, formed with the definite article + 'più'/'meno' + adjective + reference term ('il più veloce del battaglione').

8What is the exact meaning of the adjective 'solerte' in Italian lexical usage?

A.Diligent, prompt, and zealous in performing one's duties

B.Hesitant, doubtful, and prone to procrastinating tasks

C.Solitary, reserved, and introverted in interpersonal relations

D.Proud, arrogant, and boastful toward subordinates

Explanation: The Italian adjective 'solerte' derives from the Latin 'sollers' (ingenious, active) and means diligent, zealous, prompt, and attentive in carrying out duties or assignments (e.g., 'un militare solerte ed efficiente').

9Which of the following verb forms represents the first-person singular indicative remote past (passato remoto) of the irregular verb 'redigere'?

A.Io redigetti

B.Io redassi

C.Io redigei

D.Io redigii

Explanation: The verb 'redigere' (to draft or compile) has the irregular strong passato remoto stem 'redass-': 'io redassi, tu redigesti, egli redasse, noi redigemmo, voi redigeste, essi redassero'.

10Which of the following compound conjunctions requires a graphical acute accent on the final vowel in standard Italian orthography?

A.Perchè

B.Affinchè

C.Perché

D.Poichè

Explanation: In standard Italian typography and orthography, compounds of 'che' (such as 'perché', 'poiché', 'affinché', 'giacché', 'benché') end with a closed vowel /e/ and require the acute accent ('é'), not the grave accent ('è').

Concorso Allievi Carabinieri: Suggested Study Strategy

1Pace your written test speed carefully: 100 questions in 60 minutes means an average of just 36 seconds per question.

2Review Italian grammar and logical analysis thoroughly, as verbal and language questions form a major portion of the official bank.

3Master the fundamental structure and articles of the Italian Constitution, especially the fundamental principles (Articles 1–12) and the constitutional organs of State.

4Practice basic mental math, fraction simplifications, and percentage conversions to save time on arithmetic questions without a calculator.

5Maintain strict physical conditioning in parallel with academic study, as physical-efficiency tests (such as 1,000 m run, pull-ups, and push-ups) immediately follow the written qualification.
