Read the text below and complete the gap with the right form of the verb that is missing: 
Friends with Benefits (2011) 
Published: July 21, 2011 
Friends with Benefits, a breezy, speedy and (no kidding) funny comedy with a nicely matched 
Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis that is about love and sex in the age of social networking, (1) 
__________ some of its juice and tang partly by trash-talking its own genre. The setup is 
familiar, as are the essential elements: a single man and a single woman, two battered hearts yet 
a pair of resilient, eager, pretty bodies. But Ms. Kunis’s character is dark and savvy, not blond 
and dippy, and when she comically rails against an unseen Katherine Heigl you may sigh with 
relief (fingers crossed) that you’re watching the “Scream” of romantic comedies. (…)

Comentário 
da resposta: 
Resposta correta: alternativa A. 
Comentário: Trata-se de um trecho descritivo, em que é dada alguma 
informação sobre a comédia em questão. O tempo verbal que completa 
adequadamente a lacuna (1) é o Simple Present do verbo “get”. Como 
estamos falando da comédia, trata-se da terceira pessoa do singular, logo, há a 
necessidade de flexionar o verbo com “s” final (gets).

Read the passage below and complete the gap with the right pronoun: Much as the first 
“Scream” movie gave horror cinema a jolt with self-consciously knowing characters who knew 
the bloody ins and outs of the genre — and were sadistically subjected to those clichés 
firsthand — “Friends With Benefits” starts from the premise that its characters, and you, are 
sick of the romantic comedy clichés they may secretly, or not so secretly, adore. In other 
words, the director Will Gluck, who wrote the script with Keith Merryman and David A. 
Newman, doesn’t just want to have (1) ________ romantic comedy cake and eat it too, he also 
wants to throw it in your face and make you laugh as you lick the icing off your lips. The 
results are about as naughty as that sounds (not very), but it also makes for a fairly giggling 
good time.

resposta: 
Resposta correta: alternativa B. 
Comentário: A lacuna pede um pronome possessivo referente a “ele”, pois 
estamos nos referindo a Will Glick, o diretor da comédia, que diz não querer 
que “sua” comédia (comédia dele) seja um bolo que seja comido. Ele quer 
atirá-lo na sua cara (na cara do espectador) e fazê-lo rir.

Read the text below and complete the gaps with Simple Past: 
Shakespeare's Early Years: 
Shakespeare (1) ___________ probably born on April 23, 1564, but this date is an educated 
guess because we only have a record of his baptism three days later. His parents, John 
Shakespeare and Mary Arden, (2) __________ successful townsfolk who (3) _____________ 
to a large house in Henley Street, Stratford-upon-Avon from the surrounding villages. His 
father (4) ____________ a wealthy town official and his mother was from an important, 
respected family. 
It is widely assumed that he attended the local grammar school where he would have studied 
Latin, Greek and classical literature. His early education must have made a huge impact on him 
because many of his plots draw on the classics.

 Pergunta 4 
0,5 em 0,5 pontos 
 
 
Read the short passage below and the statements related to it. Decide which of them are 
correct: 
Shakespeare’s Theater Career: 
At some point in the late 1580s, Shakespeare made the four-day ride to London, and by 1592 
had established himself as a writer. 
In 1594 came the event that changed the course of literary history – Shakespeare joined 
Richard Burbage’s acting company and became its chief playwright for the next two decades. 
Here, Shakespeare was able to hone his craft, writing for a regular group of performers. 
Shakespeare also worked as an actor in the theater company, although the lead roles were 
always reserved for Burbage himself. 
The company became very successful and often performed in front of the Queen of England, 
Elizabeth I. In 1603, James I ascended the throne and granted his royal patronage to 
Shakespeare’s company, which became known as The King’s Men. 
I. Shakespeare never traveled to London. 
II. Shakespeare never acted in a play. 
III. Burbage always had the lead roles at the theaters. 
IV. The theater company was a failure. 
V. The Queen of England, Elizabeth I never watched a play performed by the actors of the 
theater company where Shakespeare worked. 
 
Resposta Selecionada: c. 
Only the statement III is correct. 
Respostas: a. 
Only the statements I and II are correct. 
 
b. 
Only the statements III and IV are correct. 
 
c. 
Only the statement III is correct. 
 
d. 
Only the statement IV is correct. 
 
e. 
Only the statement V is correct. 
 
Comentário 
da resposta: 
Resposta correta: alternativa C. 
Comentário: De acordo com o texto, apenas a afirmação III está correta, pois 
era Burbage quem ficava com os papéis principais no teatro. As demais 
afirmações são falsas, pois (I) Shakespeare viajou para Londres; (II) 
Shakespeare atuou em peças; (IV) a companhia de teatro foi um sucesso e não 
um fracasso; e (V) a companhia teatral se apresentou para a rainha Elizabeth I.

Read the texts below and identify them according to the textual genre: 
Texto 1: 
Like his father, Shakespeare had excellent business sense. He had bought the largest house in 
Stratford-upon-Avon by 1597, he owned shares in the Globe Theater, and profited from some 
real estate deals near Stratford-upon-Avon in 1605. 
Before long, Shakespeare officially became a gentleman, partly due to his own wealth and 
partly due to inheriting a coat of arms from his father who died in 1601.

Dear Dr. Phyllis: 
I would like to apologize for my absence very much. I am in a difficult situation. A member of 
the family has not been well, for he has been very sick and I have to take care of him, because 
nobody could do that but me. 
There is nothing of much serious, thanks to God, but I need to stay at home for more two days 
until my sister returns from her travel. As soon as she comes, she will take care of him and so I 
will be free. 
Please, understand my situation and I hope these two days will go 
fast, _________________________________________. 
Faithfully yours, 
Roxana Welch, (Ms.)

Read the short passage below and complete the gaps with the right verb tense: 
Shakespeare’s Family: 
At 18, Shakespeare (1) ______________ Anne Hathaway from Shottery who was already 
pregnant with their first daughter. The wedding would have been arranged quickly to avoid the 
shame of having a child born out of wedlock. 
Hamnet (2) ____________ in 1596, at age 11. Shakespeare was devastated by the death of his 
only son, and it is argued that Hamlet, written four years later, is evidence of this.
