1Read this practice passage: «Il movimento Slow Food si propone di contrastare la frenesia della vita moderna attraverso la riscoperta dei sapori tradizionali e la difesa della biodiversità agroalimentare.

7Read this practice passage: «Con la diffusione del lavoro da remoto, molti giovani professionisti originari del Mezzogiorno hanno scelto di rientrare nei propri paesi d'origine.

10Read this interpretation of Italian Neorealism: «I registi privilegiarono spesso le riprese in strada e attori non professionisti, per raccontare la realtà di un Paese devastato dal conflitto, più che seguire un manifesto teorico accademico.» Which characteristic does the author emphasize?
A.Le riprese in contesti reali e l'impiego frequente di interpreti non professionisti
