POSSIBLE TOPIC FOR THE SELECTIVIDAD TEST

I have just had an epiphany.  The topic of the Selectividad test might have something to do with either the Spanish economic crisis or the so-called Spanish Revolution.  Read this article from The Independent just in case, and please get familiar with the vocabulary related to this subject matter.  By way of example, have a look at this paragraph: Spain is in dire economic straits, prompting fears it may need a bailout similar to those requested by Greece, Ireland and Portugal. It is in recession, and unemployment stands at almost 25% - the highest among the 17 countries using the euro. One in two Spaniards under 25 are out of work.  Prime minister Mariano Rajoy's conservative government has enacted deep spending cuts to reduce the national debt, but many people blame those measures for deepening families' financial plight.
