  1. Withdrawal, solitude, and relational distance within human identity themes Correct answer.
  2. Only stock-market algorithms

  3. That film technique is irrelevant because no film is assigned
  4. That Themenfelder must be ignored when literature appears

Explanation

Rapporti umani e identità invites cross-text criteria; plots differ, and Liberi di scegliere is also Pflichtkanon. Themenfelder remain separately required orientation.

Question 24Reading and written dialogue comprehension

Why can Italian observers attend AbiStat orals without becoming commission members?

  1. Facherlass separates diplomatic/partner-state observation from Notenbildung by the BW-appointed commission Correct answer.
  2. Because observers always award the final Notenpunkte alone
  3. Because orals are graded only by classmates
  4. Because AGVO bans all teachers from rooms

Explanation

Facherlass explicitly allows Repubblica Italiana observers to attend while stating they are not part of the Prüfungskommission that forms the grade.

Question 25Reading and written dialogue comprehension

Why is scheduling AbiStat oral after written exams operationally important?

  2. piace Correct answer.
  3. piacciono

Completa la domanda: «Ti ___ questi romanzi?»

  1. piace
  2. piacciono Correct answer.
  3. piaci

Completa la frase: «Stamattina ci ___ alzati molto presto.»

  1. abbiamo
  2. siamo Correct answer.

  1. posso Correct answer.
  2. voglio
  3. so

Completa la frase: «Per entrare al museo devi ___ il biglietto online.»

  1. compri
  2. comprare Correct answer.

Completa la frase: «Ieri ___ una giornata bellissima.»

  1. è stata
  2. era Correct answer.
