C2 Spanish Capstone | Mixed Practice Test Test

Multiple Choice

Choose the correct answer.

1. A source uses an ambiguous expression that supports two plausible readings. What should a careful synthesis do?

Choose one reading and present it as certain. Remove the ambiguous phrase from the evidence. Explain the competing readings and indicate what evidence favors or limits each one. Translate the phrase literally and ignore context.

2. During a debate, new evidence weakens one part of your argument. What is the strongest response?

Ignore the evidence to maintain consistency. Change the topic. Revise the affected claim and explain how the new evidence changes, but does not necessarily erase, the broader argument. Withdraw every previous conclusion.

3. You must explain two conflicting technical reports to a community group that has not read them. Which approach is best?

Repeating a source word for word. Summarizing only the easiest points. Recasting complex, conflicting information for a specific audience while preserving attribution, uncertainty, and important distinctions. Replacing disagreement with a single simplified conclusion.

4. Which sentence best shows precise control of register in a formal briefing?

Bueno, la cosa está bastante complicada. Esto es un desastre total. La evidencia disponible permite identificar dos riesgos principales, aunque su magnitud sigue siendo incierta. Yo diría que ya veremos.

True or False

Decide whether each statement is true or false.

5. A report concludes that the evidence is inconclusive. A faithful synthesis should preserve that uncertainty rather than convert it into certainty.

True False

6. After a justified objection weakens part of a claim, revision may require changing its structure or degree of commitment, not only correcting grammar.

True False

7. If a persuasive source is rhetorically effective, its factual claims can be accepted without checking their evidential basis.

Reading

Reading passage

Un informe sostiene que una campaña pública cambió las actitudes de la población. Cita una encuesta posterior a la campaña, pero no dispone de una medición previa comparable. Otro estudio, realizado en el mismo periodo, observa cambios similares en una región donde la campaña apenas tuvo difusión. Ambos autores reconocen que no pueden aislar una causa única.

23. Which synthesis is strongest?

The campaign definitely caused the change. The campaign had no effect at all. The evidence is compatible with an effect from the campaign, but the lack of a comparable baseline and similar changes elsewhere prevent a single-cause conclusion. The two studies prove exactly the same mechanism.

Reading passage

En una entrevista, una directora comenta: "No diría que el proyecto haya fracasado; digamos que todavía no ha encontrado su forma definitiva." Sonríe al decirlo, después enumera varios problemas de financiación y termina afirmando que "sería imprudente fijar ahora una fecha de lanzamiento".

24. What is the most defensible interpretation?

She confirms an immediate launch. She states that financing is no longer a problem. She avoids labeling the project a failure while signaling substantial unresolved problems and caution about committing to a date. She says the project has already reached its final form.
