Read the excerpt below:
"An American or British person might be looking their client in the eye to show that they are paying full attention to
what is being said, but if that client is from Japan or Korea, they might �nd the direct eye contact awkward or even
disrespectful. In parts of South America and Africa, prolonged eye contact could also be seen as challenging
authority. In the Middle East, eye contact across genders is considered inappropriate, although eye contact within a
gender could signify honesty and truthfulness.
Having an increased awareness of the possible differences in expectations and behaviour can help us avoid cases of
miscommunication, but it is vital that we also remember that cultural stereotypes can be detrimental to building
good business relationships. Although national cultures could play a part in shaping the way we behave and think,
we are also largely in�uenced by the region we come from, the communities we associate with, our age and gender,
our corporate culture and our individual experiences of the world. The knowledge of the potential differences
should therefore be something we keep at the back of our minds, rather than something that we use to pigeonhole
the individuals of an entire nation."

Verbs establish dynamic or static relations with the other elements of the sentence. There are two major types of
sentences: dynamic and stative. Dynamic sentences may be further divided into three categories: active,
processive and active-processive. The sentence "An American or British person might be looking their client in the
eye" exempli�es the following category:

"In 2020 it became the �rst such game to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the
treatment of ADHD in children.
Currently only available on prescription from doctors in the US, EndeavorRx at �rst glance looks very similar to
countless other games. You control a little alien that races on a spaceship through different worlds having to collect
things.
But the app-based game was developed in conjunction with neuroscientists, and is designed to stimulate and
improve areas of the brain that play a key role in attention function.
The idea is that it trains a child with ADHD to both better multitask and ignore distractions, with a computer
algorithm measuring his or her performance and customising the dif�culty of the game in real time.
When doctors prescribe it, the child's parents get sent an activation link that is needed before the game will play.
Kelcey says she was "a little sceptical", but at the end of 2020 Owain started a three-month programme, playing the
game for 25 minutes a day. He then did another round last year.
"He admitted it was a little harder than he expected," she says. "But he understood that he was doing it to help
improve his focus. He remained super motivated despite the dif�culties and frustrations that came along with it."
After each of Owain's sessions she noted his daily behaviour in the app, and tracked his progress.
Soon she started to see small, positive changes in his behaviour. For example, getting ready for school had become
smoother, and there were no negative messages from teachers.
And after failing �fth grade, Owain subsequently shot up to getting As and Bs for his work.
"It has been amazing to see my son so successful, but more so, seeing him have con�dence in himself," Kelcey says.
"He is no longer upset and confused about why he just does not get it."

designed to boost cognitive progressing."

Verbs may establish dynamic or static relations with the other elements that are part of the sentence. Dynamic
sentences may be even further categorized into: active, processive and active-processive. The sentence "In 2020 it
became the �rst such game to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the treatment
of ADHD in children" is:
Explicação:
In this sentence, the verb "look" implies an action with an intention of someone to look something. Therefore, it
is an active sentence. Active sentences are composed of action verbs. Consequently, they require a subject that
does something. Therefore, since the subject does something in the sentence, it exempli�es an active sentence.

Data Resp.: 30/09/2023 20:56:43
Explicação:
In this sentence, the subject "it (the game)" is in a speci�c condition. Moreover, it is constructed by a state verb
(to become), which means that it is a stative sentence. Stative sentences are constructed by less dynamic verbs,
or state verbs, which do not imply actions or events. In this type of sentence, the subject is in a state or
condition, which is speci�ed by the state verb.

Read the excerpt bellow:
"A new study published in the journal Science shows de�nitive evidence of organic matter on the surface of Mars.
The data was collected by NASA's nuclear-powered rover Curiosity. It con�rms earlier �ndings that the Red Planet
once contained carbon-based compounds. These compounds - also called organic molecules - are essential
ingredients for life as scientists understand it.
The organic molecules were found in Mars's Gale Crater, a large area that may have been a watery lake over three
billion years ago. The rover encountered traces of the molecule in rocks extracted from the area. The rocks also
contain sulfur, which scientists speculate helped preserve the organics even when the rocks were exposed to the
harsh radiation on the surface of the planet.
Scientists are quick to state that the presence of these organic molecules is not suf�cient evidence for ancient life
on Mars, as the molecules could have been formed by non-living processes. But it's still one of the most astonishing
discoveries, which could lead to future revelations. Especially when one considers the other startling �nd that
Curiosity uncovered around �ve years ago."

Verbs may establish dynamic or static relations with the other elements that are part of the sentence. Bearing this
in mind, choose the sentence that is [-dynamic]:
active/processive.
active/stative.
active/active.
active-processive/stative.
processive/stative.
Data Resp.: 30/09/2023 20:56:50
Explicação:
The verb "to say" is an action, therefore, it is active. Active sentences are composed of action verbs.
Consequently, they require a subject that does something. In the second part, the verb to be in the past ¿was¿ is
a state, which means that it is stative.

Read the excerpt bellow:
"Before Abe returned to power in 2012, Japan had just suffered its biggest trauma since World War Two - a
massive earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdown at Fukushima.
The governing coalition was in chaos. The Japanese economy had still not recovered from its 1992 stock market
collapse, and over the previous two decades, Japan had seen 14 prime ministers come and go. One of them lasted
just 64 days.
Abe swept back into of�ce with a real sense of energy, and most importantly, an economic plan that he
conveniently dubbed "Abenomics".
He declared "Japan is back". He announced a "big bazooka" of cash that would �ood the �nancial markets with
liquidity and force prices upwards even as interest rates were dropped below zero.
As prices rose, and with nowhere to put their cash, people were compelled to spend, creating growth, and pushing
up wages."

Explicação:
The feature of dynamicity implies that the verbs are related to happenings, events, movement, actions, etc. The
verbs to control, to train, to prescribe and to start are of this type. However, the verbal form "there is" is related
to states, which means that it is the only [-dynamic] verb.

"The Catholic Church was shocked last month when an ornate golden artefact said to contain drops of Jesus's
blood was stolen shortly before an annual celebration in northern France.
For 1,000 years, pilgrims have headed to Fécamp abbey in Normandy to worship the "Precious Blood of
Christ" relics.
Six weeks later, a Dutch art sleuth has described how the relics were handed over to him in an elaborate operation.
Arthur Brand says he will now give them to police to return them to the abbey.
"Seven to eight per cent of stolen art is returned and much of it is destroyed. In this case, I think the thief had no
idea what it was," he told the BBC.
The relics were stolen late at night on 1 June from the sacristy at Fécamp, north-east of the port of Le Havre. The
thief is believed to have been locked in the building overnight and there was little security at the time".

"An American or British person might be looking their client in the eye to show that they are paying full attention to
what is being said, but if that client is from Japan or Korea, they might �nd the direct eye contact awkward or even
disrespectful. In parts of South America and Africa, prolonged eye contact could also be seen as challenging
authority. In the Middle East, eye contact across genders is considered inappropriate, although eye contact within a
gender could signify honesty and truthfulness.
Having an increased awareness of the possible differences in expectations and behaviour can help us avoid cases of
miscommunication, but it is vital that we also remember that cultural stereotypes can be detrimental to building
good business relationships. Although national cultures could play a part in shaping the way we behave and think,
we are also largely in�uenced by the region we come from, the communities we associate with, our age and gender,
our corporate culture and our individual experiences of the world. The knowledge of the potential differences
should therefore be something we keep at the back of our minds, rather than something that we use to pigeonhole
the individuals of an entire nation."

"When you picture mountain climbers scaling Mount Everest, what probably comes to mind are teams of climbers
with Sherpa guides leading them to the summit, equipped with oxygen masks, supplies and tents. And in most cases
you'd be right, as 97 per cent of climbers use oxygen to ascend to Everest's summit at 8,850 metres above sea level.
The thin air at high altitudes makes most people breathless at 3,500 metres, and the vast majority of climbers use
oxygen past 7,000 metres. A typical climbing group will have 8-15 people in it, with an almost equal number of
guides, and they'll spend weeks to get to the top after reaching Base Camp. But ultra-distance and mountain
runner Kilian Jornet Burgada ascended the mountain in May 2017 alone, without an oxygen mask or �xed ropes
for climbing. Oh, and he did it in 26 hours. With food poisoning. And then, �ve days later, he did it again, this time in
only 17 hours."

Explicação:
In this sentence, the subject "cultural stereotypes" is in a speci�c state. Moreover, it is constructed by a state
verb (be), which means that it is a stative sentence. Stative sentences are constructed by less dynamic verbs, or
state verbs, which do not imply actions or events. In this type of sentence, the subject is in a state or condition,
which is speci�ed by the state verb.

https://simulado.estacio.br/alunos/ 8/8
An easy way to identify the subject of a sentence is through asking the verb "who/what did/made/is this?". In this
case, if we ask the verb "who ascended the mountain in May 2017 alone?", the answer is "ultra-distance and
mountain runner Kilian Jornet Burgada". Therefore, it is the right answer. The other options are not appropriate
answers for the question.
