The 6 sample questions as a list
  1. «Io e mio cugino andiamo molto ___: non litighiamo mai.»
    Quale opzione completa meglio la frase?

    A) in giro
    B) d'accordo
    C) di fretta
    D) a fondo
    B) d'accordo

    Andare d'accordo (con qualcuno) means to get along with someone, which is what non litighiamo mai (we never argue) confirms. Andare in giro (to go around) is a real phrase but does not explain the never-arguing.
    Families and Communities
  2. «Ogni estate Luca va in Calabria, nel paese dei bisnonni, per conoscere meglio le sue ___.»
    Quale opzione completa meglio la frase?

    A) radici
    B) frontiere
    C) risorse
    D) rovine
    A) radici

    Le radici (roots, origins) fits a visit to his great-grandparents' village (il paese dei bisnonni). Le sue risorse (his own resources) is grammatical but has nothing to do with family origins.
    Personal and Public Identities
  3. La Primavera di Sandro Botticelli, conservata a Firenze, è un capolavoro di quale periodo della storia dell'arte?

    A) Il Rinascimento
    B) Il Barocco
    C) Il Romanticismo
    D) Il Futurismo
    A) Il Rinascimento

    Botticelli's Primavera is a capolavoro del Rinascimento (a masterpiece of the Renaissance), painted in fifteenth-century Florence. The Baroque, Romanticism and Futurism all came centuries later.
    Beauty and Aesthetics
  4. Un amico italiano ti dice: «Quest'anno faccio la maturità.» Che cosa sta preparando?

    A) Il concorso per un posto pubblico
    B) La tesi di laurea all'università
    C) L'esame per la patente di guida
    D) L'esame finale della scuola superiore
    D) L'esame finale della scuola superiore

    L'esame di maturità, officially l'esame di Stato until a 2025 reform restored the name maturità, is the exam at the end of Italian upper secondary school. A university thesis (la tesi di laurea) comes years later.
    Contemporary Life
  5. «___ alluvione del 1966 danneggiò migliaia di opere d'arte a Firenze.»
    Quale opzione completa meglio la frase?

    A) La grande
    B) I grandi
    C) Lo grande
    D) Il grande
    A) La grande

    L'alluvione (flood) is feminine despite its -one ending, so it takes la grande. The 1966 Florence flood is remembered for the damage it did to the city's artistic heritage.
    Global Challenges
  6. «Sebbene ___ molto stanca, Giulia continua a studiare per l'esame.»
    Quale opzione completa meglio la frase?

    A) sia
    B) sarà
    C) è
    D) era
    A) sia

    Sebbene (although) normally takes the congiuntivo: sebbene sia stanca (although she is tired). Anche se (even though, even if) is also concessive but usually takes the indicative (anche se è stanca).
