We intuitively realize that narratives are not randomly structured: somehow, we know when a narrative is about to begin or end. Based on
the internal structure of narratives, read the extract below and choose the correct alternative:
Two specific incidents come to mind. One day in the middle of the afternoon we met at his place. We were drinking cognac and dancing to
music from the radio.

Past perfect is being used to link the clauses.
 There's chronological sequencing of independent clauses.
There's the employment of temporal markers to allow for alternative arrangements.
There's no chronological sequencing of independent clauses.
The use of historical present is quite striking.

Explicação:
The extract above, even though part of a flashback moment, when the narrator disrupts the previous storyline to narrate an antecedent event,
presents the events in chronological sequencing introduced by the adverbial "one day in the middle of the afternoon". No alternative
arrangement is being presented and there is no use of past perfect. What¿s more, the sentences are in the past tenses - simple past and past
continuous, meaning that historical present is not being used. The correct answer is then: "There¿s chronological sequencing of independent
clauses".

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.

Because it provides readers with important orienting information, allowing them to take a peek at hooks' childhood experiences and,

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.
Because it wraps up hooks' narrative, bringing it to an end with a brief description of her final decisions.
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.

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).

Explicação:
The use of the expression "approximate" to characterize the noun "rates" is justified because numbers related to boys and girls are close when
it comes to this line on the table: around 86%. The other options refer to trends that are not consistent with the information provided by the
table.

"I remembered my mother's hope chest, with its wonderful odor of cedar, and thought about her taking the most precious items and
placing them there for safekeeping".
"I had met a young black man. We were having an affair".
 "it was also interesting to read the narrative in its entirety after I had completed the work. It had not occurred to me that bringing
one's past, one's memories together in a complete narrative would allow one to view them from a different perspective, not as
singular isolated events but as part of a continuum".
"He drank often, smoked cigarettes, and always on the few occasions that we met him, he held us children in tight embraces. It was
the memory of those embraces--of the way I hated and longed to resist them-that I recalled".

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".

Victims of anti-Semitism should be accounted for discriminatory speeches.
The study of History does not influence the fight against anti-Semitism.
 In order to fight anti-Semitism it is paramount to denounce anti-Semites for their discriminatory acts and be aware of History.
However harmful and obnoxious anti-Semitic discourses may be, prejudiced people should not be denounced for their behavior.
More important than learning History is condemning anti-Semites for their prejudicial behavior.

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.

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 language structures used by the authors indicate that the text consists of a counter-argumentation against current academic
practices.
The repetition of the modal verb "can" indicates an overuse of hedging, which makes the paragraph ambiguous.
 The authors resort to a syllogism to argue for the relevance of their study in the field.
The author's allusion to their expertise as linguists consists of an appeal to pathos.
The expression "in fact" indicates that the authors merely begged the question instead of arguing for their thesis.
Respondido em 22/11/2022 15:13:25
 
 
Explicação:
Indeed, the proposition defended in the paragraph is based on a 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."

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.
FREIRE, Paulo. "The Importance of the Act of Reading". The Journal of Education, v. 165, n. 1, p. 5-11.
It delineates the focus of previous research on reading, outlining information that the author will refute in the upcoming paragraphs.
It undermines traditional perspectives on reading by refuting that such act results from the interaction of the self and the world.
 By describing how the author himself understands reading, it also summarizes the core idea of the text.
It focuses on denying that reading includes "reading the word", defining the act instead as the "reading of the world".
It briefly discusses how reading has been traditionally taughtand understood, analyzing the act of reading from a conventional
perspective.
Respondido em 22/11/2022 15:18:44
 
 
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".
