1.
The Simple Present tense employed in the verbs "remain" and "be" regard actions which started in the past
and with noticeable current consequences. The Present Perfect in the verb "�ght" refers to past activities in a
precise time period.
The Simple Present tense employed in the verbs "remain" and "be" accounts for a factual exposition, while
the Present Perfect in the verb "�ght" refers to an action that occurred in an inde�nite moment in the past.
The Simple Present tense employed in the verbs "remain" and "be" accounts for a factual exposition, but the
Simple Past tense would be more adequate in the verb "�ght".
The future simple should be employed in the verb "be", insofar as it refers to a future exhibition.
The Simple Present Tense in the verbs "remain" and "be" account for progressive actions in the present,
whilst the Present Perfect in the verb "�ght" refers to an action that occurred in an inde�nite moment in the
past.
Data Resp.: 02/09/2023 09:37:48
Explicação:
Indeed, the author makes factual historical claims using the verbs "remain" and "be", to be later evidenced with
data. Therefore, the Simple Present tense is adequate. Moreover, he does not clarify when the �ghts he
mentioned occurred, allowing for the use of a Present Perfect structure.

Instead of making general expository claims, the author attempts to engage readers by introducing the
particular stories of two people who are probably not known by the projected public: Vitaly and his wife. This
strategy is common in feature stories. Therefore, the correct answer is: "It consists of a feature story, since it
intends to engage readers and foster empathy providing an exposition of particular life experiences connected
with the theme of the publication".

Data Resp.: 02/09/2023 09:38:02

Explicação:
The structure in (1) provides a general rule during Carnival season, since it presents a situation that is usually
true, justifying the use of the Present Simple tense. Besides, the structure in (2) provides a factual description in
a sentence introduced by the negative particle "no", which is why the Simple Present structure in the negative is
adequate. Later on, in structure (3) the author alludes to Carnival depiction in the media without specifying
their years of release, which leads him to employ the Present Perfect tense. In structure (4), he makes a
descriptive allegation, in which the Present Simple tense is more accurate.
