Paragraph Completion (Without Root Words)

Description
The second part of the writing section will consist of two paragraph-completion tasks -- root words will not be provided. Students will be asked to read two brief paragraphs and fill in 10 blanks (5 in each paragraph) with the most appropriate words. This part of the exam measures accuracy, grammar, and usage (function words, prepositions, helping verbs, present perfect, conjunctions, demonstrative pronouns, set expressions, articles, relative pronouns, etc.).

What's Different?/Changes to Paragraph Completion
(See Task F materials below)
  • All fill-in questions will be contextualized in paragraphs.
  • Fill-in questions will not be based on root words.
Evidence
The AP Spanish Language student can:
  • Use language that is semantically and grammatically accurate according to a given context.
  • Recognize cultural elements implicit in written texts.
  • Interpret linguistic cues to infer social relationships.
