The 6 sample questions as a list
  1. « Inès est élevée par son père seul depuis l'âge de six ans : elle grandit dans une famille ___. »
    Quel mot complète le mieux la phrase ?

    A) monoparentale
    B) nombreuse
    C) recomposée
    D) traditionnelle
    A) monoparentale

    Monoparentale describes a single-parent family: élevée par son père seul — raised by her father alone. A famille recomposée (blended family) would include a step-parent or step-siblings.
    Families and Communities
  2. « Grâce au club de théâtre, Amina s'est vite ___ dans sa nouvelle école. »
    Quelle forme complète correctement la phrase ?

    A) intégrées
    B) intégrer
    C) intégré
    D) intégrée
    D) intégrée

    Intégrée: with a reflexive verb like s'intégrer, the past participle agrees with the subject when se is the direct object, so it is feminine singular for Amina — Amina s'est vite intégrée, Amina quickly fit in.
    Personal and Public Identities
  3. « Le musée du Louvre conserve de nombreux ___ de la peinture italienne. »
    Quelle orthographe est correcte ?

    A) chef-d'œuvres
    B) chefs-d'œuvre
    C) chefs-d'œuvres
    D) chef-d'œuvre
    B) chefs-d'œuvre

    Chefs-d'œuvre: in the plural only the head noun chef takes an s, and the complement d'œuvre stays singular — de nombreux chefs-d'œuvre, many masterpieces. The f stays silent in the plural too.
    Beauty and Aesthetics
  4. En France, quel examen les élèves passent-ils à la fin du collège, vers l'âge de 15 ans ?

    A) La licence
    B) Le baccalauréat
    C) Le brevet
    D) Le master
    C) Le brevet

    Le brevet is the national exam at the end of collège (lower secondary school), around age 15. Le baccalauréat comes at the end of lycée, and the licence and master are university degrees.
    Contemporary Life
  5. « Il n'a pas plu depuis trois mois : la ___ a détruit une grande partie des récoltes. »
    Quel mot complète le mieux la phrase ?

    A) grêle
    B) inondation
    C) sécheresse
    D) tempête
    C) sécheresse

    La sécheresse (drought) follows from il n'a pas plu depuis trois mois — it has not rained for three months. A flood, a storm or hail all usually need rain or bad weather.
    Global Challenges
  6. « Bien que le projet ___ ambitieux, la mairie a décidé de le financer. »
    Quelle forme complète correctement la phrase ?

    A) soit
    B) sera
    C) est
    D) serait
    A) soit

    Bien que (although) is followed by the subjunctive, so être becomes soit. Même si (even if, even though) is also concessive but takes the indicative.
