EAU EUS 2024 — Option A, Reading — "Practical Advice for Healthier, More Sustainable Diets"

According to the text and the FAO, a sustainable diet not only promotes individual health and well-being and has a low environmental impact, but is also...

Aaccessible, affordable and safe

Bexpensive but very nutritious

Ccompletely meat-free for everyone

Dhigh in processed foods

Veure solució

Resposta correcta — opció A

accessible, affordable and safe

Correct. The text states a sustainable diet is "accessible, affordable, and safe".

The text quotes the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations, which defines a sustainable diet as one that "promotes individual health and well-being, has a low environmental impact, is accessible, affordable, and safe." The correct option reproduces these three additional characteristics: accessible, affordable and safe. The other options contradict the text, which insists that sustainable eating should be affordable (not expensive), allows some meat in smaller portions (not completely meat-free), and recommends cutting down on highly processed foods (not increasing them).

EAU EUS 2024 — Option A, Reading — Eating locally and in season

According to the text, why should we choose foods that are produced locally and that are in season?

ATo save the energy used in transport and production

BBecause local food always tastes better

CBecause imported food is always healthier

DBecause seasonal food lasts much longer

Veure solució

Resposta correcta — opció A

To save the energy used in transport and production

Correct. Local foods save the energy used for transport, and seasonal foods require less energy to be produced (and can be bought for less money).

In the paragraph about making our diet more environmentally friendly, the third step explains that we should "choose foods that are produced locally to save the energy used for transporting food, as well as to choose foods that are in season because they require less energy to be produced, which also means they can be bought for less money." The key reason, therefore, is saving energy (in transport and in production), with the added benefit of a lower price. The other options introduce ideas (taste, imported food being healthier, longer shelf life) that the text does not state.

EAU EUS 2024 — Option A, True/FalseDificultat 3/5

EAU EUS 2024 — Option A, True/False — Plant-based vs meat

Statement: "Plant-based foods are less environmentally friendly than meat and dairy."

Based on the text, is this statement true or false?

AFalse — meat and dairy have a much greater environmental impact

BTrue — plant-based foods harm the environment more

CThe text gives no information about this

DIt cannot be determined from the text

Veure solució

Resposta correcta — opció A

False — meat and dairy have a much greater environmental impact

Correct. False: the text says we should eat more plant-based foods "because meat and dairy production has a much greater impact on the environment". So plant-based foods are MORE environmentally friendly.

The statement claims that plant-based foods are LESS environmentally friendly than meat and dairy, which is false according to the text. The passage advises us to "try to eat more plant-based foods like beans, vegetables, and grains because meat and dairy production has a much greater impact on the environment." This means meat and dairy are the more harmful option, so plant-based foods are in fact MORE environmentally friendly, not less. Justifying the answer requires pointing to that comparison in the text.

EAU EUS 2024 — Option A, Vocabulary — Word in context

Find the word or expression in the text that means "not too expensive, reasonably priced".

Aaffordable

Baccessible

Csustainable

Dnutritious

Veure solució

Resposta correcta — opció A

affordable

Correct. "Affordable" means something that you can pay for without difficulty, i.e. reasonably priced.

This is a vocabulary-in-context task: matching a definition to a word used in the text. The definition "not too expensive, reasonably priced" corresponds to the adjective "affordable", which appears in the FAO definition ("...is accessible, affordable, and safe"). The distractors are real words from the same field but with different meanings: "accessible" means easy to obtain or reach; "sustainable" means able to be maintained over time; and "nutritious" means rich in nutrients. Only "affordable" specifically refers to a reasonable price.

EAU EUS 2024 — Option A, Vocabulary — Word in context

Find the word in the text that means "relating to milk and products made using milk".

Adairy

Bgrains

Cleftovers

Dprotein

Veure solució

Resposta correcta — opció A

dairy

Correct. "Dairy" refers to milk and the products made from it (cheese, butter, yogurt).

The definition "relating to milk and products made using milk" matches the word "dairy", which appears in the text in the phrase "meat and dairy production has a much greater impact on the environment". Dairy products include milk, cheese, butter and yogurt. The distractors come from the same text but mean different things: "grains" are cereal seeds (wheat, rice, oats); "leftovers" are the parts of a meal that remain after eating; and "protein" is a macronutrient found in beans, nuts, meat and dairy alike. Only "dairy" specifically denotes milk and milk-derived products.

EAU EUS 2024 — Option A, Use of English — Conditional sentence

The text says: "if we avoid wasting food..., we will also be able to reduce our demand for food production."

Which type of conditional sentence is this, and what does it express?

AFirst conditional: a real, likely result of a possible condition

BSecond conditional: an unreal or improbable situation

CThird conditional: an unreal situation in the past

DZero conditional: a general truth always valid

Veure solució

Resposta correcta — opció A

First conditional: a real, likely result of a possible condition

Correct. It is a first conditional (if + present simple, will + infinitive): it expresses a real, likely result of a possible condition.

English conditional sentences are classified by their verb patterns. The sentence "if we avoid wasting food..., we will also be able to reduce our demand" uses the structure "if + present simple, will + infinitive", which is the first conditional. It expresses a real and likely result that will probably happen if the condition is met. The second conditional ("if + past simple, would + infinitive") describes hypothetical or improbable present/future situations; the third conditional ("if + past perfect, would have + past participle") refers to unreal past situations; and the zero conditional ("if + present, present") states general truths that are always valid. Here, because the main clause uses "will", the sentence is clearly a first conditional.

EAU EUS 2024 — Option A, Use of English — Comparative structure

The text states: "meat and dairy production has a much greater impact on the environment."

In this sentence, what is the function of the word "much" before "greater"?

AIt intensifies the comparative "greater"

BIt is the subject of the sentence

CIt is a quantifier of an uncountable noun

DIt is the main verb of the sentence

Veure solució

Resposta correcta — opció A

It intensifies the comparative "greater"

Correct. "Much" is an intensifier (modifier) that strengthens the comparative "greater": it emphasises how big the difference is.

In the phrase "a much greater impact", the word "much" works as an intensifier (or modifier) of the comparative adjective "greater". English allows certain words —"much", "far", "a lot", "considerably", "significantly"— to be placed before a comparative to emphasise the size of the difference: "much greater" means "considerably greater". It is not the subject of the sentence (which is "meat and dairy production"), nor the main verb (which is "has"), nor a quantifier of an uncountable noun (a function "much" can have in other contexts, e.g. "much water", but not here). Recognising this use is a typical "use of English" point in the exam.

EAU EUS 2024 — Option A, Reading — Highly processed foods

According to the text, why should we cut down on highly processed foods?

ABecause they are less nutritious and contain more sodium and sugar

BBecause they are always more expensive than fresh food

CBecause they have the greatest environmental impact

DBecause they are very difficult to store properly

Veure solució

Resposta correcta — opció A

Because they are less nutritious and contain more sodium and sugar

Correct. The text says they "tend to be less nutritious and have more sodium and sugar in them".

In the paragraph about taking care of your health, the final piece of advice is: "make a serious effort to cut down on highly processed foods: they tend to be less nutritious and have more sodium and sugar in them." Therefore, the reason given in the text is nutritional: processed foods provide fewer nutrients and contain higher amounts of sodium (salt) and sugar. The other options introduce reasons —higher price, environmental impact, difficulty of storage— that are not the ones the text offers for cutting down on processed foods.
