The extract below describes trends in Higher Education in Brazil, according to UNESCO. Read it and choose the
option that substitutes the numbered expressions for similar ones:
"Higher education has experienced (1) very fast growth [...] in the second half of the 1990s. Growth has
been most visible in undergraduate enrolment, where the student body has (2) swelled by an extra 1.5
million students since 2008. About (3) three quarters of undergraduates (7.3 million in 2013) are enrolled in
private institutions. [...] About (4) half of the growth in private tertiary education can be attributed to
distance learning programmes, a new trend in Brazilian higher education."

Explicação:
The noun "soar" indicates a rapid and quick rise, and the verb "swell" is equivalent to the act of becoming
higher or increasing. Moreover, the equivalent to the amount of "three quarters" is "75%", as it represents three
of the four equal parts of a whole. Finally, "50%" of an amount is the same as "half of it" or two equal parts.

Explicação:
According to Labov (LABOV, William. The Language of Life and Death. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press,
2013.), the language employed in orientations is relatively predictable and habitually includes verbs such as to
be and to have, among other "stative verbs" - that is, verbs that define a stable condition or a state of being,
rather than a dynamic action. Moreover, Past tenses - especially the Past Continuous are used. The correct
alternative is then: "It typically includes stative verbs and Past tenses".

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 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 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 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).

The New York Times' approach to expository writing recommends varied designs for engaging expositions.
Expository writing may center on the axis problem- solution. Which of these statements better describes an
axis-problem solution in an essay?
Unlike academic genres, it does not need to be backed up by scientific evidence.
 This genre intends to give the reader options to solve or deal with an issue.
Despite the name of such style, some texts of this sort do not expose possible solutions for an issue.
It features specific narrations which are usually of human interest and may hook readers with a quote
or anecdote.
In such a style, projected readers are promptly engaged, having contact with the main information
from the start.
Respondido em 05/10/2022 18:31:33
 
 
Explicação:
As its name already suggests, an axis problem-solution provides a list of ways of fixing an issue. The only
correct answer is then: "This genre intends to give the reader options to solve or deal with an issue."

statement.
"Learning from the past to effectively fight anti-Semitism today- The best way to fight anti-Semitism is to
focus on fighting anti-Semites, and never to be tempted to blame their victims."
Retrieved from: https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/3/11/learning-from-the-past-to-efficiently-fight-
antisemitism-today
Victims of anti-Semitism should be accounted for discriminatory speeches.
 In order to fight anti-Semitism it is paramount to denounce anti-Semites for their discriminatory acts
and be aware of History.
More important than learning History is condemning anti-Semites for their prejudicial behavior.
However harmful and obnoxious anti-Semitic discourses may be, prejudiced people should not be
denounced for their behavior.
The study of History does not influence the fight against anti-Semitism.
Respondido em 06/10/2022 18:12:07
 
 
Explicação:
The author is clear-clut when using the time adverb "never" to argue that it is not acceptable to blame victims,
but rather those who discriminate. The opening affirmation also proposes that being acquainted with historical
facts is the best route to combat anti-Semitism.

Read the following excerpt from Paulo Freire's paper entitled "The Importance of the Act of Reading" and
choose the option that best describes the role of this introductory paragraph:
The question of the importance of reading is addressed by considering the ways in which experience itself is
read through the interaction of the self and the world. Through examining memories of childhood, it is possible
to view objects and experiences as texts, words, and letters and to see the growing awareness of the world as
a kind of reading through which the self learns and changes. The actual act of reading literary texts is seen as
one aspect of the act of knowing and as a creative act. Reading the world thus precedes reading the word and
writing a new text must be seen as one means of transforming the world.

It briefly discusses how reading has been traditionally taught and understood, analyzing the act of
reading from a conventional perspective.
It delineates the focus of previous research on reading, outlining information that the author will refute
in the upcoming paragraphs.
 By describing how the author himself understands reading, it also summarizes the core idea of the
text.
It undermines traditional perspectives on reading by refuting that such act results from the interaction
of the self and the world.
It focuses on denying that reading includes "reading the word", defining the act instead as the
"reading of the world".
Respondido em 05/10/2022 18:36:50
 
 
Explicação:
As introductions are supposed to, Paulo Freire's introductory paragraph provides the reader with a succinct
overview on the topic his text discusses: the importance of the act of reading, understood here as a complex
process that involves reading the world before reading the word. The correct option is thus: "By describing how
the author himself understands reading, it also summarizes the core idea of the text".

Choose the option containing a true statement concerning the verb tense employed in the following sentences.
"The fatty acid compositions were measured based on a well-established method (Folch, Lees, & Sloane-
Stanley, 1957; Lepage & Roy, 1986). Each test was replicated three times for each experimental group."
Retrieved from https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/fsn3.1443
The necessity of replication of each test is an argument against the "methods" mentioned.
 The Simple Past tense is correctly employed since the authors are arguing for the relevance of their
methodology in that specific study.
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 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.
The Simple Present tense would be more suitable in both sentences, since they support notions which
are characterized as "well-established".
Respondido em 07/10/2022 15:42:56
 
 
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".

Focusing on the effect of the covid-19 pandemic on marital relationships, Gaby Hinsliff's text is initiated by the
following introductory paragraph:
Love is not love, which alters when it alteration finds. It¿s a beautiful sentiment around which to build a
Shakespearean sonnet, but in real life not everyone adapts to the dramatic changes thrust upon them in a
pandemic with the apparent grace of Kate Garraway. The TV presenter's husband, Derek Draper, almost died
of Covid; he is now back home after months in intensive care, but needs round-the-clock nursing. He can
speak, but can't hold what most people would regard as a conversation. It cannot be the life or the marriage
either of them dreamed of in their early 50s. But as she said hopefully at the weekend, she thinks they have
found "a new way to be in love", a relationship of complete trust and reliance. "That¿s a positive thing to come
out of this, to have that certainty of each other. He and I are very close."

Now, choose the option that best summarizes the strategies employed by the author to attract the readers¿
attention and introduce the topic of the text as a whole:
Hinsliff promotes a balanced account of the hardships faced by couples during the pandemic, listing
reasons why some couples will not be as resilient as Kate Garraway and Derek Draper.
Hinsliff turns to characters from Shakespeare's sonnets to prove that "love can bend without breaking"
and couples can make it through the turbulent times imposed by the pandemic.
Hinsliff's introduction analyzes the pros and cons of the circumstances faced by most couples during
the covid-19 pandemic, looking into the advantages and disadvantages of resilience.
Hinsliff provides statistics to validate the argument that marital relationships have been put to the test,
showing that even celebrities - such as Kate Garraway, a famousTV presenter - had her marriage
challenged by the hardships posed by covid-19.
 Hinsliff starts with a quote from a Shakespearean sonnet that endorses the main point of her text, that
"love can bend without breaking", and recurs to the touching story of a resilient couple to confirm her
main argument.
Respondido em 05/10/2022 18:33:38
 
 
Explicação:
The Shakespearean sonnet touches the heart of the question posed by the author, confirming her thesis that
"love can bend without breaking". Kate Garraway and Derek Draper's experience validates Hinsliff's argument
that love can win the battle against the turmoil imposed by the pandemic.
