1Lee el siguiente fragmento del cuento antes de responder la pregunta: Párrafo 1: El sol matutino doraba las verdes montañas de Utuado mientras Mariana ajustaba su bulto escolar. Miró hacia el antiguo cafetal de su abuelo, donde los granos maduros brillaban como rubíes entre las hojas de mayo. Su abuelo le había enseñado a distinguir la madurez del fruto con solo tocarlo, una destreza que pocos jóvenes del pueblo conservaban. Párrafo 2: Aunque el camino hacia la escuela era empinado y el sudor comenzaba a correr por su frente, Mariana sonrió recordando los relatos de la zafra que su abuelo le contaba al anochecer. Con cada paso firme, sentía que llevaba consigo la historia de sus antepasados. Based on Paragraph 1, which detail best supports the idea that Mariana possesses a traditional skill that is becoming rare?
A.She carries a school backpack while walking up a steep mountain road.
B.She can determine the ripeness of coffee cherries by touch, a skill few young people retain.
C.She smiles while remembering stories her grandfather told her at night.
D.She observes the morning sun gilding the green mountains of Utuado.
Explanation: Paragraph 1 explicitly states that Mariana's grandfather taught her to judge the ripeness of the coffee fruit by touch ('distinguir la madurez del fruto con solo tocarlo'), highlighting that this is a specialized skill that few young people in the town still possess. This directly answers the prompt.
2Lee el siguiente fragmento: Párrafo 3: Mariana llegó a la plaza del pueblo justo a tiempo para la apertura de la feria cultural. Al ver que el puesto de artesanías tradicionales carecía de voluntarios para explicar el proceso del tejido de mundillo, se ofreció de inmediato. Pasó la tarde enseñando a niños pequeños la paciencia que requiere cada cruzado de hilos, comprendiendo que la cultura de un pueblo perdura cuando se comparte activamente. Which sentence best states the central theme developed in this excerpt?
A.Cultural traditions are preserved and kept alive through active sharing and teaching.
B.Fairs and festivals are the most profitable commercial events in rural towns.
C.Young people should focus exclusively on modern technology rather than old crafts.
D.Learning to weave requires expensive tools that few communities can afford.
Explanation: The excerpt shows Mariana volunteering to teach children traditional bobbin lace weaving ('mundillo') and concludes with her realization that cultural heritage endures when actively shared ('la cultura de un pueblo perdura cuando se comparte activamente'). This directly supports This choice.
3Lee el fragmento sobre Mateo: Mateo apretó el manubrio de su bicicleta al ver la empinada cuesta de Ciales. Sus compañeros de equipo ya habían comenzado a subir, riendo y desafiándose. A pesar de que sus piernas temblaban por el cansancio acumulado de la semana, Mateo respiró hondo, ajustó su casco y pedaleó con fuerza, decidido a terminar la ruta sin rendirse. Which character trait best describes Mateo based on his actions in the passage?
A.Persevering and determined in overcoming physical challenge
B.Reckless and indifferent to personal safety guidelines
C.Competitive and aggressive toward his cycling teammates
D.Hesitant and easily discouraged by minor obstacles
Explanation: Mateo experiences fatigue and trembling legs, but he breathes deeply, adjusts his helmet, and pedals hard with the determination to finish without giving up ('decidido a terminar la ruta sin rendirse'). This demonstrates perseverance and determination.
4Lee el siguiente fragmento narrativo: Caminé suavemente por la orilla de la playa Flamenco en Cienfuegos al amanecer. El agua helada me acariciaba los tobillos mientras buscaba caracoles intactos entre la arena húmeda. Recordé las palabras de mi madre antes de salir de casa: 'La mar siempre guarda sorpresas para quien sabe mirar'. From which point of view is this story narrated?
A.First-person point of view (narrador en primera persona), indicated by 'caminé' and 'mi madre'
B.Second-person point of view (narrador en segunda persona), addressing the reader directly as 'tú'
C.Third-person limited point of view (narrador omnisciente limitado), focusing on an outside observer
D.Third-person omniscient point of view (narrador omnisciente absoluto), revealing thoughts of all characters
Explanation: The story uses first-person verb forms ('caminé', 'buscaba', 'recordé') and possessive pronouns ('mi madre'), establishing that the narrator is a character participating directly in the events.
5Lee los siguientes versos de un poema dedicado a la noche caribeña: "La luna es un faro de plata en el mar, y las estrellas, chispas de diamante, que bailan al ritmo suave del oleaje." What literary device is used in the phrase "La luna es un faro de plata"?
A.Metaphor (metáfora), directly equating the moon to a silver lighthouse without using 'como'
B.Simile (símil), comparing two elements using explicit connectors like 'como' or 'tal cual'
C.Personification (personificación), giving human attributes to inanimate objects
D.Hyperbole (hipérbole), exaggerating an action for dramatic effect
Explanation: The phrase directly states that the moon IS a silver lighthouse ('La luna es un faro de plata') without using comparative words like 'como', making it a direct metaphor.
6Lee la estrofa: "El viento de la montaña susurra secretos viejos, canta entre las ceibas y abraza los techos de zinc, mientras la noche se viste de sombras largas." Which line from the stanza contains an example of personification (personificación)?
A."El viento de la montaña susurra secretos viejos"
B."mientras la noche"
C."techos de zinc"
D."de sombras largas"
Explanation: Attributing the human ability to whisper secrets ('susurra secretos viejos') to the wind ('el viento') is a classic example of personification.
7Lee el fragmento sobre el huracán: El viento comenzó a aullar con fuerza aterradora alrededor de la casa de cimiento de madera en Yabucoa. Las ramas del viejo árbol de mamey cayeron ruidosamente sobre la cerca del corral. Francisco supo que debía asegurar la puerta del establo antes de que la ráfaga principal alcanzara el valle, pero el picaporte oxidado se negaba a ceder. What is the primary conflict facing Francisco in this excerpt?
A.An external conflict between man and nature, compounded by an urgent mechanical struggle with a stuck latch
B.An internal conflict about whether to leave his farm and move to an urban city
C.A personal dispute between Francisco and his neighbors over property boundaries
D.A financial conflict regarding the cost of rebuilding wooden storm shutters
Explanation: Francisco faces an external environmental threat (a severe storm/hurricane) and must secure the barn door against rising winds, but is hindered by a stuck rusted latch ('el picaporte oxidado se negaba a ceder'). This represents man vs. nature and physical obstacle.
8Lee el fragmento: "El aroma a café recién colado impregnaba la cocina campesina, acompañado por el chisporroteo del plátano maduro en la sartén de hierro y el fresco murmullo del coquí que cantaba afuera entre los helechos mojados por la llovizna." Which human senses are primarily appealed to in this description?
A.Olfactory (smell), auditory (hearing), and visual/tactile (sight/touch)
B.Gustatory (taste) only, focusing exclusively on saltiness
C.Tactile (touch) only, focusing on extreme freezing temperatures
D.Visual (sight) only, without any sound or smell details
Explanation: The text appeals to smell ('aroma a café'), hearing ('chisporroteo', 'murmullo del coquí'), and sight/touch ('sartén de hierro', 'helechos mojados por la llovizna').
9Lee la oración del texto: "Al terminar la jornada de trabajo en el taller, el artesano contempló con **orgullo** la talla de madera perfectamente pulida." In this sentence, what does the word "orgullo" convey about the artisan's feelings toward his craft?
A.A deep sense of satisfaction and honor in the quality of his completed work
B.Arrogance and disdain toward other workers in the workshop
C.Frustration due to flaws found in the wooden sculpture
D.Indifference and eagerness to discard the wooden piece
Explanation: In this context, 'orgullo' signifies positive self-satisfaction and fulfillment derived from producing a well-crafted piece of wood art ('talla de madera perfectamente pulida').
10Lee la siguiente descripción: "La niebla espesa descendía lentamente sobre el bosque de El Yunque. Las copas de los tabonucos desaparecían en la penumbra y un silencio sepulcral envolvía el sendero, interrumpido solo por el crujido distante de una rama rota." What mood (atmósfera) is established in this scene?
A.Mysterious, tense, and quiet
B.Joyful, festive, and energetic
C.Humorous, playful, and lighthearted
D.Informative, commercial, and urban
Explanation: Words like 'niebla espesa' (thick fog), 'penumbra' (gloom/twilight), 'silencio sepulcral' (grave silence), and 'crujido distante' (distant snapping branch) create a mysterious, quiet, and slightly tense mood.
