Object pronouns 
1) When Iran’s opposition protesters used Twitter and other 
forms of social media last year to let the world know about 
their regime’s brutal post election crackdown, activists 
praised Twitter as the tool of revolution and freedom. But 
now Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez has figured out 
how to twist this tool into one of repression. Though as 
recently as this past January Chávez was decrying Twitter 
as a weapon of terrorists, he’s since turned into an avid 
Twitterer himself ( his account, the country’s most popular, 
boasted more than half a million followers at press time ), 
as well as a devoted Facebook user and blogger. 
Far from embracing the democratic spirit of the Web, 
though, the Venezuelan strongman is using his accounts 
and blog to exhort people to spy on each other. At the 
launch of his Twitter account, Chávez enjoined the 
Boliviarian faithful to use it to keep an eye on state 
enemies, namely the wealthy. My Twitter account is open 
for you to denounce them, “Chávez announced on his 
television program. El Presidente has hired a staff of 200 
to deal with tweeted “requests, denunciations, and other 
problems,” which have resulted in actions against allegedly 
credit-stingy banks and currency speculators. He’s now 
considering going a step further and ruling that all 
Venezuelan Web sites must move from U.S.- based 
servers to domestic ones - which would, of course, make 
them far easier to control. Big Brother would be proud.

Marin)

2) (Udesc/2010) 
Touched by An Angel (By Maya Angelou) 
We, unaccustomed to courage 
exiles from delight 
live coiled in shells of loneliness 
until love leaves its high holy temple 
and comes into our sight 
to liberate us into life. 
Love arrives 
and in its train come ecstasies 
old memories of pleasure 
ancient histories of pain. 
Yet if we are bold, 
love strikes away the chains of fear 
from our souls. 
We are weaned from our timidity 
In the flush of love's light 
we dare be brave 
And suddenly we see 
that love costs all we are 
and will ever be. 
Yet it is only love 
which sets us free. 
The words “We” (line 1), “our” (line 5), “us” (line 6), are 
consecutively: 
a) personal pronoun, reflexive pronoun, object pronoun. 
b) object pronoun, possessive adjective, personal pronoun. 
c) object pronoun, personal pronoun, possessive adjective. 
d) personal pronoun, reflexive pronoun, possessive 
adjective.

mysteries left to us by the ancient world”, the word "us" is 
a) a personal subject pronoun. 
b) a personal object pronoun. 
c) a possessive adjective pronoun. 
d) none of the above. 
4) THE BIRTH OF THE INTERNET: A HISTORICAL FEAT 
In 1969 the world had its eyes turned to what was 
undoubtedly to become a historical feat: the first human 
being setting foot on the moon. However, in that same year 
something else of much importance was happening as 
well: the Internet was coming into being. 
Usually when we think of a historical feat, we think of 
something big, like the first voyage to the moon. But more 
often than not, we find that the most meaningful events in 
history spring from what is viewed in their time as an 
unimportant fact. A case in point is exactly what the figure 
above represents: the birth of the Internet. 
It is difficult to pinpoint the exact moment when the Internet 
was born. The World Wide Web is indeed the result of a 
number of interrelated events that can be traced back to 
the first artificial satellite –the Russian (then Soviet) Sputnik 
– being put into orbit around the earth back in the 1950’s. 
But it was in l969 that “… four host computers were 
connected together into the initial ARPANET, and the 
budding Internet was off the ground”. The diagram above 
shows the first four places ever linked via the Internet which 
was then called the ARPANET. They are US organizations: 
the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), Stanford 
Research Institute (SRI), the University of California Santa 
Barbara (UCSB) and the University of Utah (UTAH). 
Little by little the Internet started spreading everywhere 
because of new technological advancements and today it

is so important that our lives would not be the same without 
it. Of course going to the moon was an extremely important 
event as well, a real historical feat, but the birthof the 
Internet has proved to be the most significant historical fact, 
and feat, in the recent past of the history of mankind. 
Analyzing the word “it” in the last paragraph, we can say 
that 
I. the first “it” is a subject pronoun. 
II. the second “it” is an object pronoun. 
III. both are personal pronouns. 
IV. the first “it” is a possessive adjective. 
V. the second “it” is a possessive pronoun 
It is CORRECT 
a) I and V. 
b) II, III, and IV. 
c) III, IV, and V. 
d) II and IV. 
e) I and II.

Comparativos e superlativos 
1) Read the text and answer the question. 
Life stress may lead to cognitive developmental delays 
in children 
According to a new study, children living in harsh or 
unstable environments are more likely to experience 
learning and cognitive delays by age 4. 
Researchers examined the cortisol levels and cognitive 
delays of 201 children from low-income families in the 
northeastern United States. It was found that those kids 
with higher levels of cortisol experienced harsh or 
insensitive caregiving. 
"We discovered that exposure to specific forms of family 
adversity when children were 2 years old predicted their 
cortisol profile, which in turn was linked with notable 
differences in children´s cognitive functioning at age 4," the 
researchers say. 
According to the research, we can state that: 
I. Children who are more stressed may have cognitive 
delay. 
II. Children who are stresser may have developmental 
delays. 
III. Children from more rich families were evaluated in this 
research. 
IV. Children from richer families were evaluated in this 
research. 
V. Children from poorer families were evaluated in this 
research.
