There are some basic components that account for the narrative's internal structure. Mark the alternative that
presents a correct statement about a narrative's features:
When a logical cause-and-effect relationship unites the chain of events, the narrative tends to sound
more far-fetched.
 The Past Perfect is typically used in narratives to signal which action came about first.
A narrative¿s temporal juncture is always strictly organized by the chronological sequencing of events
that make up the plot.
Actions narrated in the past tend to make experiences sound fresh and vivid, charging them with more
emotional tension.
Present tenses figure among the most recurrent verb forms within narratives.
Respondido em 05/10/2022 14:21:48
 
 
Explicação:
The past tenses are commonly used in narratives. To convey that a past action happened before another one,
the past perfect is chosen. Therefore, the past perfect plays an important function in the sequencing of past
actions, since it points out those events that happened at an earlier point in time. Cause-and-effect
relationships make the narrative sound more plausible and not the other way around. What¿s more, to make
experiences sound fresh and vivid, the historical present is usually preferred. The correct option is then: "The
Past Perfect is typically used in narratives to signal which action came about first."

The third component of narrative chains is called the complicating action. Choose the option that best justifies
the reason why the selected fragment can be classified as part of the complicating action of hooks'
narrative:
Claiming the freedom to grow as an imaginative writer was connected for me with having the courage to be
open, to be able to tell the truth of one's life as I had experienced it in writing. To talk about one's life-that I
could do. To write about it, to leave a trace-that was frightening. The longer it took me to begin the process of
writing autobiography, the further removed from those memories I was becoming. Each year, a memory
seemed less and less clear. I wanted not to lose the vividness, the recall and felt an urgent need to begin the
work and complete it. Yet I could not begin even though I had begun to confront some of the reasons I was
blocked, as I am blocked just now in writing this piece because I am afraid to express in writing the experience
that served as a catalyst for that block to move.

Autobiography. Routledge: New York, 2015.
Because it focuses exclusively on hooks' evaluation of the events that marked her childhood, solely
aiming at transmitting their emotional impact to those who read her text.
Because it wraps up hooks' narrative, bringing it to an end with a brief description of her final
decisions.
Because it provides readers with important orienting information, allowing them to take a peek at
hooks¿ childhood experiences and, thus, understand the narrator's longing to talk about her past and,
by such means, kill her former self.
Because it provides readers with important orienting information, allowing them to take a peek at
hooks' childhood experiences and, thus, understand the narrator¿s longing to talk about her past and,
by such means, kill her former self.
 Because it creates a web of cause-effect relationship, describing hooks' contradictory feelings towards
openly writing about her own story.

Explicação:
The complicating action focuses on a series of cause-effect relationships, describing the sequence of actions that
led from the initiating event to the most reportable event. Hence, the correct answer is "Because it creates a
web of cause-effect relationship, describing hooks¿ contradictory feelings towards openly writing about her own
story". The other options refer to either the orientation (orienting information on time, place or characters), to
the evaluation (focusing on the emotional impact) or to the resolution and coda (the end of the narrative).

This wiki entry describes a typical dish named "ceviche". Read it and choose the correct alternative:
"Because the dish is eaten raw, and not cooked with heat, it must be prepared fresh and consumed
immediately to minimize the risk of food poisoning. Ceviche is often eaten as an appetizer; if eaten as a main
dish, it is usually accompanied by side dishes that complement its flavors, such as sweet potato, lettuce,
maize, avocado, or cooking banana." Retrieved from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceviche
Such an entry provides a chronological description of a ceviche recipe.
This description provides an account of consuming rates of the dish.
According to such description, about a quarter of the ingredients are raw.
 The expression "accompanied by" introduces a componential description in the definition.
It consists of a process description on how to decrease food poisoning rates caused by the consumption
of the dish.
Respondido em 05/10/2022 14:22:13
 
 
Explicação:
Indeed, when listing the complements of ceviche introduced by the expression "accompanied by", the author
introduces the elements and traits that usually compose the dish. Therefore, the expression introduces a
componential element to the entry. There¿s no chronological description entailed in the entry, nor is any process
being described. Furthermore, the dish is completely raw and there is no consuming rate presented.

Explicação:
The structure in (1) provides a general rule during Carnival season, since it presents a situation that is usually
true, justifying the use of the Present Simple tense.Besides, the structure in (2) provides a factual description
in a sentence introduced by the negative particle "no", which is why the Simple Present structure in the
negative is adequate. Later on, in structure (3) the author alludes to Carnival depiction in the media without
specifying their years of release, which leads him to employ the Present Perfect tense. In structure (4), he
makes a descriptive allegation, in which the Present Simple tense is more accurate.

 The writer develops a narrative about the particular experiences of a person in order to tackle the issue
at hand.
The author cites a specialist in the field of Human Resources so as to support the thesis statement.
The author starts the paragraph with a thorough depiction of a historical milestone.
The author describes a complex scientific concept, explaining it to lay audiences.
The author ends the paragraph with a rhetorical question to be answered by supporting paragraphs.

Explicação:
Indeed, instead of displaying the most important information regarding the issue (exposing the whats and
whys), the author alludes to the personal experiences of a worker to illustrate the theme she is about to tackle.
She thus: "develops a narrative about the particular experiences of a person in order to tackle the issue at
hand".

 The Simple Past tense is correctly employed since the authors are arguing for the relevance of their
methodology in that specific study.
The Simple Present tense would be more suitable in both sentences, since they support notions which
are characterized as "well-established".
The Present Perfect tense would be more suitable in the first sentence, for it consists of the description
of an area of research that led to the "well-established" method.
A future tense would be more adequate for the paragraph, since it argues for the relevance of methods
which will still be expounded later in the paper.

The necessity of replication of each test is an argument against the "methods" mentioned.
Respondido em 05/10/2022 14:23:25
 
 
Explicação:
As Swales and Feak (2004) indicate, authors of academic texts commonly use the past to describe researchers'
actions in single studies. Therefore, "The Simple Past tense is correctly employed since the authors are arguing
for the relevance of their methodology in that specific study".

Establishing a research territory is a fundamental move when writing a research paper, for it identifies the
sphere of human knowledge circumscribing any given study. Read the introductory paragraphs below:
Within the feminist movement racial conflict between white women and women of colour continues to be one
area of struggle. Often these conflicts are so overwhelming that they cause us to despair that we can ever live
and work together in social spaces that are not irrevocably tainted by politics of domination. Since energy
wanes and hope diminishes it is absolutely necessary for feminist activists to renew our commitment to
political struggle and strengthen our solidarity. This means that we must work with greater diligence to
confront racism and the conflicts that it engenders with the conviction that sustained committed struggle will
lead towards a liberatory feminist political agenda.
hooks, bell. "Sisterhood: Political Solidarity Between Women". Feminist Review, n. 23, 1986.
Establishing her research territory at the very onset of her text, hooks uses her introduction to:
 Demonstrate the questions should be raised to extend previous knowledge.
Provide a balanced account of the controversy her text aims at tackling.
 Show that the general research area is central, interesting, and problematic.
Indicate that there is a gap in the previous research.
Undermine the arguments of those who oppose academic research on feminism.
Respondido em 05/10/2022 14:23:41
 
 
Explicação:
Authors typically establish their own research territory when 1) they show that the general research area is
central, interesting and problematic and/ or 2) when they introduce and review previous research in the area. In
this specific case, her introduction is used to: "Show that the general research area is central, interesting and
problematic".

Analyze the paragraph below, retrieved from a paper about transcription records in legal contexts. Afterwards,
choose the alternative which best describes the argumentation developed by the authors.
"The fact that records of data as similar as police - suspect and police - witness interviews are produced so
differently, provides us with an ideal context in which to demonstrate the factors at work, and to test our
theories as to how best to approach issues of adequacy and accuracy. However, we envisage that our model
can be applied equally well to written transcripts of spoken data across any context, including our own
professional context as linguists who analyse spoken text. It thereby also illustrates how, by attempting to
address a 'real-world' practical problem, we can in fact learn a great deal about our own methods and
academic practices." Retrieved from https://academic.oup.com/applij/advance-
article/doi/10.1093/applin/amac005/6524571?searchresult=1
 The authors resort to a syllogism to argue for the relevance of their study in the field.
The language structures used by the authors indicate that the text consists of a counter-argumentation
against current academic practices.
The expression "in fact" indicates that the authors merely begged the question instead of arguing for
their thesis.
The repetition of the modal verb "can" indicates an overuse of hedging, which makes the paragraph
ambiguous.

The author's allusion to their expertise as linguists consists of an appeal to pathos.
Respondido em 05/10/2022 14:23:48
 
 
Explicação:
Indeed, the proposition defended in the paragraph is based ona major premise (that the data can be applied to
different contexts), a minor premise (it can also be applied in the author¿s context of Linguistics), and on a
conclusion (it can show authors how to deal with their methods). Therefore, it is based on Aristotle¿s syllogism
and its deductive conclusion. The correct answer is then: "The authors resort to a syllogism to argue for the
relevance of their study in the field."
