PEvAU AND 2025 — A1 (Reading: multiple choice)Dificultad 3/5

Text: Dollar Princesses. According to the text, Dollar Princesses…

Amarried against their parents' wishes

Bsaved their parents' fortunes

Cchallenged their parents' authority

Dimproved their parents' prestige in social circles

Ver solución

Respuesta correcta — opción D

improved their parents' prestige in social circles

Correct: their fathers believed a noble title would provide "a shortcut to social acceptance", improving the family's prestige.

The text explains that wealthy American families of the Gilded Age lacked the aristocratic titles of European nobility, which they craved to accompany their new fortunes. The fathers of these heiresses ("Dollar Princesses") "believed that a title would provide a shortcut to social acceptance", so they married their daughters to British aristocrats in exchange for titles. Thus, the Dollar Princesses improved their parents' prestige in social circles. They did not act against their parents; on the contrary, the marriages were arranged by the fathers.

PEvAU AND 2025 — A2 (Reading: multiple choice)Dificultad 3/5

Text: Dollar Princesses. According to the text, after the wedding, Dollar Princesses…

Awere made fun of by their husbands

Bwere entirely on their own

Cused their fortunes to entertain themselves

Dwere held in high regard by the noble class

Ver solución

Respuesta correcta — opción B

were entirely on their own

Correct: they "led hopeless and miserable lives with no support" and were "marginalized by high society": they were entirely on their own.

According to the text, after marriage the Dollar Princesses "led hopeless and miserable lives with no support", often married to strangers, and were "marginalized by high society for their non-aristocratic roots" and even mocked. The idea that best captures their situation is that they "were entirely on their own": isolated and without support. They were not respected by the nobility, nor did they enjoy their fortunes, which their husbands frequently squandered (as in the case of Frances Ellen Work).

PEvAU AND 2025 — A3 (Reading: True / False)Dificultad 3/5

Text: Dollar Princesses. Statement: The British nobles were unable to bear the expense of preserving their residences. Is this True or False?

ATrue

BFalse

CThe text does not mention this

DIt cannot be determined

Ver solución

Respuesta correcta — opción A

True

Correct: the text says they were "desperate for cash" due to "the costly maintenance of their aging mansions", so they could not afford it. True.

The text states that British noblemen "were desperate for cash due to economic pressures mostly caused by rural populations moving to the cities and the costly maintenance of their aging mansions." This confirms that they could not afford to maintain their residences, so the statement is True. The justification would be the precise phrase "the costly maintenance of their aging mansions" together with "desperate for cash".

PEvAU AND 2025 — A5 (Reading: True / False)Dificultad 3/5

Text: Dollar Princesses. Statement: The brides used to date their husbands-to-be before the wedding. Is this True or False?

ATrue

BFalse

CThe text does not mention this

DIt cannot be determined

Ver solución

Respuesta correcta — opción B

False

Correct: the text says the future husbands "were complete strangers to the young heiresses", so they did NOT date before the wedding. False.

The text describes these marriages as "cold, hard contractual negotiations" and states that "very often, the future husbands were complete strangers to the young heiresses." This means the brides did not date or know their husbands-to-be before the wedding, so the statement is False. The justifying phrase is "the future husbands were complete strangers to the young heiresses".

PEvAU AND 2025 — A7 (Synonyms)Dificultad 3/5

Text: Dollar Princesses. Find in the text a synonym for the noun "origin" (where someone or something comes from).

Afortune

Btitle

Croots

Dlegacy

Ver solución

Respuesta correcta — opción C

roots

Correct: "roots" (as in "their non-aristocratic roots") means origin.

In the text, the heiresses were "marginalized by high society for their non-aristocratic roots." The noun "roots" means origin or background: where a person or family comes from. It is therefore the synonym requested for "origin". (Another synonym task in the exam asks for a synonym of the verb "ridicule", which is "mock", and for words meaning "remodel" and "gambling", both of which appear in the text.)

PEvAU AND 2025 — B1 (Use of English: third conditional)Dificultad 3/5

Rewrite the sentence beginning as indicated, keeping the same meaning.

Original: I didn't tell you because I wasn't sure.

If …

AIf I am sure, I will tell you.

BIf I were sure, I would tell you.

CIf I had been sure, I would have told you.

DIf I was sure, I told you.

Ver solución

Respuesta correcta — opción C

If I had been sure, I would have told you.

Correct: "If I had been sure, I would have told you." Third conditional for an unreal past.

The original sentence ("I didn't tell you because I wasn't sure") describes a past situation that did not happen as a result of another. To express this as an unreal past condition we use the third conditional: "If + past perfect, ... would/wouldn't have + past participle". The result is "If I had been sure, I would have told you." The third conditional refers to hypothetical past situations and their imagined consequences.

PEvAU AND 2025 — B3 (Use of English: would rather)Dificultad 3/5

Rewrite the sentence using the word given, keeping the same meaning.

Original: I would prefer not to go on the field trip. (RATHER)

AI would rather not go on the field trip.

BI would rather not to go on the field trip.

CI would rather not going on the field trip.

DI had rather not gone on the field trip.

Ver solución

Respuesta correcta — opción A

I would rather not go on the field trip.

Correct: "I would rather not go on the field trip." "Would rather" is followed by the bare infinitive.

The expression "would rather" means "would prefer" and is followed by the bare infinitive (the base form of the verb without "to"). To express a negative preference we place "not" before the verb: "I would rather not go on the field trip." Common mistakes are adding "to" ("would rather not to go") or using the -ing form ("would rather not going"), both of which are incorrect.

PEvAU AND 2025 — B4 (Use of English: "be allowed to")Dificultad 3/5

Rewrite the sentence using the word given, keeping the same meaning.

Original: They can't leave the class unless the teacher gives them permission. (ALLOWED)

AThey aren't allowed leaving the class unless the teacher gives them permission.

BThey aren't allowed to leave the class unless the teacher gives them permission.

CThey are allowed to leave the class without permission.

DThey allow to leave the class unless the teacher gives them permission.

Ver solución

Respuesta correcta — opción B

They aren't allowed to leave the class unless the teacher gives them permission.

Correct: "They aren't allowed to leave the class unless the teacher gives them permission." Keeps the meaning with "be allowed to".

The modal "can't" (lack of permission) can be rephrased using "be (not) allowed to + infinitive". Keeping the same negative meaning and the condition ("unless the teacher gives them permission"), the correct sentence is "They aren't allowed to leave the class unless the teacher gives them permission." Note that "allowed" must be followed by "to + infinitive" (not by the -ing form), and that changing it to the affirmative or removing the condition would alter the meaning.
