In traditional grammar, coordination is divided in two types: syndetic and asyndetic coordination. The latter
consists in the omission of a conjunction, and the former consists in use of it. Based on it, which option is
structured by asyndetic coordination?
She loves him, but she needs to leave him now.
He can really sing, so he can try a musical career.
Chomsky is famous, for he's written important books.
You may win, or you may lose this game.
 I'll order pasta, tomatoes, lettuce, grapes...
Respondido em 30/06/2023 13:25:12
Explicação:
Feedback: All options contain coordinating conjunctions, such as or, but, for and so, meaning that they are examples of
syndetic coordination. The only alternative in which elements are linked without the help of coordinators is I¿ll order
pasta, tomatoes, lettuce, grapes... In this case, commas are being used instead of conjunctions so this is the only
example of asyndetic coordination.

Feedback: The pairs of correlative conjunctions are the following: both...and, neither...nor, not only...but also,
either...or, which convey addition, exclusion, alternatives. Whenever we use not only in the �rst clause, the second
clause is initiated by but also. The correct answer is thus but also.

With restaurants, stores and even public pools and beaches now open after months of being shuttered, some
New Yorkers might wonder whether it's safe to swipe their Metrocards again and hop on the train or bus.
Interim MTA President Sarah Feinberg says, "It's time to come back."
In May, the MTA restricted its otherwise 24/7 service and began shutting down trains from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. in
order to completely sanitize each car.
"We're doing 24/7 cleaning," Feinberg tells Newsweek. "But, it obviously is helpful for us to be able to have the
system completely free of all riders in those overnight hours, [1] in order that we can be particularly ef�cient."
In the beginning of March, [2] when the virus began affecting New York City, MTA workers were not allowed to
wear masks while on duty - in alignment with the CDC recommendations at the time. The ban was then lifted [3]
after there was a backlash from the Transport Workers Union Local 100, the New York Daily News reported.
The MTA reports that 4,110 MTA employees have tested positive for the virus as of July 29.

The subordinators used in the dependent clauses [1], [2], and [3] can be respectively classi�ed as:
Complex, Complex, Complex
 Complex, Simple, Simple
Simple, Simple, Complex
Simple, Complex, Simple
Simple, Simple, Simple
Respondido em 30/06/2023 13:28:35
Explicação:
Complex, Simple, Simple Complex (CORRECT). A complex subordinator contains more than one word, which is the
case of IN ORDER THAT. A Simple Subordinator is composed of only ONE word, which is the case of WHEN and
AFTER.

There is no such thing as the fairy tale; however, there are hundreds of thousands of fairy tales. And these fairy
tales have been de�ned in so many different ways that it boggles the mind to think that they can be categorized
as a genre. In fact, the confusion is so great that most literary critics continually confound the oral folk tale with
the literary fairy tale and vice versa. Some even argue, to the dismay of folklorists, that we might as well label
any text or narrative that calls itself and is called a fairy tale as such since the average reader is not aware of the
distinction between the oral and literary traditions or even cares about it. Why should we bother with
distinctions if very few people necessarily want them? There is even a strong general tendency among many
readers in the West to resist de�ning the fairy tale. It is AS THOUGH ONE SHOULD NOT TAMPER WITH
SACRED MATERIAL. Whenever people dissect the fairy tale, they might destroy its magic, and it appears that
this magic has something to do with the blessed realm of childhood and innocence. On the other hand, almost

What is the function of the highlighted Adverbial Clause in the text?
Place
 Manner
Time
Purpose
 Reason
Respondido em 30/06/2023 13:30:57
Explicação:
Manner (CORRECT) - The Subordinator AS THOUGH is similar to the Subordinator AS IF. Consequently, the
Adverbial Clause in question expresses MANNER. Subordinators WHEN, WHILE, WHENEVER are the ones which
indicate TIME. Subordinators WHERE, WHEREVER are the ones which indicate PLACE. BECAUSE, SINCE and AS are
examples of subordinators which indicate REASON, and, �nally,  IN ORDER THAT and SO THAT are examples of
subordinators which indicate PURPOSE.

In the excerpt below, we could delete that are  because:In Europe, you can always return items that are no
longer required back to the point of purchase.
The relative pronoun restricts or de�nes the concept of  items.
The relative pronoun plays the role of object in the restrictive relative clause.
 The relative pronoun introduces omissible information in the main clause.
 The relative pronoun followed by verb to be can be deleted, according to what Celce-Murcia and
Larsen-Freeman (1999) call the  relative pronoun + be deletion rule.
The relative pronoun plays the role of subject in the restrictive relative clause.
Respondido em 30/06/2023 13:37:02
Explicação:
According to Celce-Murcia and Larsen-Freeman, whenever the relative pronoun is followed by verb to be they can be
deleted altogether. That is what the authors call the  relative pronoun + be deletion rule. The only correct option is
then: The relative pronoun followed by verb to be can be deleted, according to what Celce-Murcia and Larsen-
Freeman (1999) call the  relative pronoun + be deletion rule . When the relative pronoun plays the role of object in the
restrictive relative clause, only the relative pronoun can be omitted. When the relative pronoun plays the role of
subject in the restrictive relative clause it cannot be omitted and the same applies to when it introduces omissible
information in the main clause. The fact that the clause is a nonrestrictive relative clause does not refer to a situation
in which the relative pronoun and the verb to be can be omitted.

Explicação:
Where is the relative adverb that best conveys the meaning of place present in in which. "In which" can convey
different meanings such as place, time and manner. In the excerpt, though, place is being conveyed. In order to rewrite
the sentence while still retaining its original meaning, "where" should be used. The only correct option is hence: "It
seeks a world where plastic adds value for consumers and businesses without negatively impacting the environment".
The other options convey either time (when), manner (how) or present relative pronouns (that).

Analyze the following excerpt and choose the option that best explains the relationship between the relative
clause and its antecedent.
 
An of�cial with the California Air Resources Board, [which oversees the state's carbon-offset program],
declined to comment on CarbonPlan's �ndings.

The nonrestrictive relative clause contains essential information to de�ne its referent "of�cial",
explaining his duties.
The restrictive relative clause re�nes its referent "of�cial", explaining his duties.
The relative adverbial explains how its referent, "the California Air Resources Board", intends to reduce
carbon emissions.
 The nonrestrictive relative clause provides omissible information on the function of its referent, "the
California Air Resources Board".
The restrictive relative clause provides omissible information on the function of its referent, "the
California Air Resources Board".
Respondido em 30/06/2023 13:41:02
Explicação:
The use of the relative pronoun "which" is indicative of the fact that the referent of the relative clause is non-human,
in this case, "the California Air Resources Board". Besides, the use of comma or dash to set apart the relative clause
from the main clause is a distinctive trait of nonrestrictive relative clauses. Nonrestrictive relative clauses provide
additional information, that is, information that is omissible. The only correct option is thus: The nonrestrictive
relative clause provides omissible information on the function of its referent, "the California Air Resources Board".

You have learned that nonrestrictive relative clauses can refer to a noun phrase or to the main clause as a whole.
When its referent is just a noun phrase, the nonrestrictive relative clause plays the role of an appositive. In the
excerpt below, the nonrestrictive relative clause has been reduced, following the principles of the relative
pronoun + verb to be deletion rule. Choose the option that best rephrases the statement below, while also
eliciting the previously deleted relative pronoun and verb to be.
 
But experts say the wild�res have highlighted one of the main weaknesses in the program ¿ the small size of the
so-called buffer pool, a bureaucratic term for an insurance policy against disasters like �res.

But experts say the wild�res have highlighted one of the main weaknesses in the program - whose is the

Respondido em 30/06/2023 13:51:06
Explicação:
Two relative pronouns could be used here: either that or which, since the noun phrase it refers to is a non-human
antecedent (that is, "one of the main weaknesses in the program"). However, since a dash or a comma has to be used
to keep apart the main clause and the nonrestrictive relative clause, only the relative pronoun "which" can be used in
this case. The relative pronoun "that" is not used in nonrestrictive relative clauses. The only correct option is then:
¿But experts say the wild�res have highlighted one of the main weaknesses in the program - which is the small size of
the so-called buffer pool, (...)".

There are special types of questions in English which are used to con�rm or check information, by means of
eliciting my interlocutor's agreement or con�rmation. Below you will �nd some examples of the so-called tag
questions. Choose the options which contain grammatically correct examples of tag questions:
i- She is coming, isn't she?
ii- She does work here, John?
iii- I should come, shouldn't I?
iv- I do love chocolate.
Only option ii) is a tag question.
Only option i) is a tag question.
Options iii) and iv) are examples of tag questions.
 Options i) and iii) are examples of tag questions.
Only option iv) is not an example of a tag question.

Explicação:
Tag questions are formed by inverting the polarity of the original sentence and placing the auxiliary verb before the
subject. Therefore, only in options i) and iii) is this structure being used. Options ii) and iv) show another type of
phenomenon, when the auxiliary verb is used for emphatic purposes.

Analyze the questions below so as to identify their main functions
i- Are you coming tomorrow?
ii- Which do you prefer: coffee or tea?
we use ii) when we ask about missing information.
 in i) we want to invite the addressee to select among alternatives presented.
 in i) we want to invite the addressee to indicate whether a proposition is true or not.
we use i) and ii) to make random elicitation.
in i) and ii) the addressee is unknown.
Respondido em 30/06/2023 13:55:18
Explicação:
Question i) is a Yes-no question whose main function is to ask my interlocutor, or addressee to indicate whether a
statement is true or not; whereas question ii) is an alternative question whose main function is to ask my interlocutor
to choose among the options given. Therefore, the only correct option is the one that states that "we want to invite
the addressee to indicate whether a proposition is true or not".
