Read the following excerpt from a journalistic article about environmental conservation in Xochimilco, Mexico:
"The pre-Hispanic chinampas of Xochimilco—artificial agricultural islands built on shallow lake beds in the Valley of Mexico—currently face a dual crisis of water pollution and urban encroachment. According to the Metropolitan Environmental Commission, over sixty percent of the remaining active chinampas suffer from severely degraded water quality caused by untreated domestic runoff from surrounding urban settlements. While municipal authorities have recently launched a multi-million-peso restoration initiative, local farming cooperatives argue that these governmental efforts are merely superficial public relations campaigns that fail to resolve the systemic lack of wastewater infrastructure. The preservation of these ancestral wetland ecosystems is undoubtedly the most urgent cultural and ecological priority for the capital city today. Without immediate, structural interventions, this vital living link to Mesoamerican agricultural heritage will be permanently lost, representing a tragic failure of collective civic responsibility."
Which of the following statements from the passage represents a subjective opinion rather than a verifiable fact?

Read the following excerpt from a journalistic article about environmental policy in Latin America:
"For decades, Costa Rica’s ecotourism model has been celebrated globally as a triumph of environmental conservation. By prioritizing national parks and sustainable lodging, the country successfully demonstrated that protecting biodiversity could be a lucrative economic strategy. Local communities, once reliant on logging and agriculture, found new, stable sources of income as guides, lodge operators, and conservationists.
Yet, this success has brought its own ecological challenges. In popular destinations, the sheer volume of visitors has led to habitat fragmentation, waste management crises, and the depletion of local aquifers. The rapid construction of hotels and roads, driven by the demand to experience untouched nature, has begun to degrade the very ecosystems that tourists travel to see. Without stricter limits on visitor capacity, the economic engine of conservation risks dismantling its own ecological foundation."

Read the following excerpt from the English translation of 'The Night Face Up' ('La noche boca arriba') by the Argentine writer Julio Cortázar, published in 1956:
'And it was unusual because the dream was full of smells and he never dreamed of smells. First, a swampy smell, since to the left of the path the swamps began, the quagmires from which no one returned. But the smell ceased, and instead a dark, fresh fragrance of night yielded, under the trees, to the smell of wild flowers. It was a smell of war, he thought, instinctively correcting his path. Everything was so natural, he had to flee the Aztecs who were on the hunt for men. His war was the war of the blossom, and his name was that of the victim.
He felt his throat constrict; he wanted to run, but the forest was thick and dark. Suddenly, he heard the sound of branches snapping. He crouched, motionless, holding his breath. The smell of damp earth and rotting leaves filled his senses. He knew that if he moved, the dry twigs under his feet would betray him. In the distance, a torch flared, casting long, menacing shadows through the trees. He closed his eyes, hoping that when he opened them, he would be back in the hospital bed, under the clean white sheets, smelling the familiar scent of antiseptic. But when he opened his eyes, the darkness of the jungle remained, heavier and more suffocating than before. He realized then that the hospital was the dream, and this—the fear, the dampness, the impending sacrifice—was his absolute reality.'
Based on this excerpt, how does the shifting point of view serve the author's purpose in developing the protagonist's realization of his reality?
Read the following translated excerpt from the short story 'Chac Mool' (1954) by the Mexican author Carlos Fuentes:
"I finally bought the Chac Mool. I put it in the basement, where it would not disturb anyone. It is a wet, dark basement, with no ventilation, which I rarely visit. Yet, tonight, I heard a strange, deep breathing coming from the lower stairs. I convinced myself it was the humidity or the old pipes of the house. But when I went down this morning, the plaster of the statue felt strangely soft, almost like human flesh. There was a smell of damp earth and ancient moss in the air, a scent that does not belong in a modern house in Mexico City. I realized that the ancient deity, long buried and forgotten under layers of modern progress, was beginning to wake up in the dark, claiming a space that my rational mind wanted to deny it."
Based on the excerpt, how does the setting of the damp basement reflect the historical and cultural tension in mid-twentieth-century Mexican society?
Read the following passage about Eloísa Cartonera:
"In the wake of the 2001 economic collapse in Argentina, a group of artists and writers founded Eloísa Cartonera, a cooperative publishing house that purchased cardboard from street collectors (*cartoneros*) at above-market rates to bind books. What began as a desperate measure of survival has blossomed into a continental phenomenon. These hand-painted, cardboard-covered books not only democratized access to literature in marginalized communities but also challenged the traditional, corporate-dominated publishing industry. By transforming waste into art, the cartonera movement proves that cultural production does not require lavish capital, but rather solidarity and collective imagination. It is a resounding reminder that literature belongs to the streets, not just the salons."
Based on the passage, what is the author's primary purpose?

Read the following letter:
Dear Mr. Vance,
I would like to express my gratitude for your team’s dedication to organizing the upcoming exhibition of my collection, *Ethereal Landscapes*. The promotional materials look exceptional, and I share your excitement for the opening next month.
Upon reviewing the gallery floor plan you sent yesterday, I noticed that *Whispers of the Valley*—the centerpiece of this series—has been scheduled for display in the transition corridor leading to the sculpture garden. While I appreciate the natural light in that passageway, this particular oil painting requires a spacious wall to allow viewers to experience its scale and complex texturing from a distance, which the narrow corridor cannot accommodate. I am concerned that placing it there might diminish its impact and disrupt the thematic flow of the collection.
Could we explore alternative options for this piece? Perhaps it could be positioned in the main exhibition hall, even if it means adjusting the placement of some smaller watercolor studies. I believe this change would optimize the visitor experience and do justice to the core narrative of the exhibition.
Sincerely,
Clara Sterling
