About these changes, read the following sentences: I- "Vi" corresponds to the English two words "I saw". II- "Um filme" corresponds to the English "movie", III- "Nice movie" corresponds in Portuguese to "filme legal", but could also be "belo filme", depending on the context of this sentence. IV- "Movie" could be translated as "longa metragem" without any change in the meaning. Check the correct answer:
A
II - IV are correct.
B
I - III are correct.
C
II - III are correct.
D
I - II are correct.
