	The second component of narratives is called orientation, a part of the text in which the reader is introduced to the time, place and characters of the story. Mark the option that best describes the language employed in most orientations:
		
	
	It typically includes verbs defining a dynamic action in the future time.
	 
	It typically includes stative verbs and Past tenses.
	 
	It typically includes dynamic verbs and Past tenses.
	
	It typically includes dynamic verbs and Present tenses.
	
	It typically includes stative verbs and Present tenses.
	Respondido em 06/10/2022 01:11:10
	
	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".

	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
		
	
	It consists of a process description on how to decrease food poisoning rates caused by the consumption of the dish.
	
	This description provides an account of consuming rates of the dish.
	
	Such an entry provides a chronological description of a ceviche recipe.
	
	According to such description, about a quarter of the ingredients are raw.
	 
	The expression "accompanied by" introduces a componential description in the definition.
	Respondido em 06/10/2022 01:14:04
	
	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.

	(1) will be/ (2) had/ (3) has been covered/ (4) stands out
	Respondido em 06/10/2022 01:14:26
	
	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.

	In the book Academic Writing for Graduate Students by Swales and Feak, three rhetorical moves are identified. These moves should function as guidelines for the writing of the introduction to argumentative texts as well as the building up of the thesis statement. Mark the alternative with the adequate description of the third rhetorical move, according to Swales and Feak:
		
	
	(1) Attracting the readers' curiosity; (2) summarizing the main point of the research; and (3) making room for a balanced account of the controversy tackled by your paper.
	
	(1) Establishing a research territory; (2) establishing a niche; and (3) occupying the niche.
	 
	(1) Outlining the purpose and the nature of the research; (2) announcing its principal findings; and (3) indicating the structure of the research paper.
	
	(1) Indicating a gap in the previous research; (2) raising questions about it; and (3) extending previous knowledge.
	
	(1) Establishing a research territory; (2) establishing a niche; and (3) extending previous knowledge.
	Respondido em 06/10/2022 01:19:52
	
	Explicação:
The third rhetorical move aims at occupying the niche defined by the research, by means of outlining the purpose and nature of the research, announcing its main findings, and indicating the structure of the research paper. Therefore, the only correct answer is: "(1) Outlining the purpose and the nature of the research; (2) announcing its principal findings; and (3) indicating the structure of the research paper."

	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 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 Past tense is correctly employed since the authors are arguing for the relevance of their methodology in that specific study.
	
	The necessity of replication of each test is an argument against the "methods" mentioned.
	
	The Simple Present tense would be more suitable in both sentences, since they support notions which are characterized as "well-established".
	
	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.
	Respondido em 06/10/2022 01:17:47
	
	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."
HINSLIFF, Gaby. The pandemic has taught us that love can bend without breaking. Disponível em: The pandemic has taught us all that love can bend without breaking | Gaby Hinsliff | The Guardian. Acesso em: 15 fev. 2022.
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'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 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 provides statistics to validate the argument that marital relationships have been put to the test, showing that even celebrities - such as Kate Garraway, a famous TV 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 06/10/2022 01:15:58
	
	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.
