Read the text and answer question 29 
More than 400 migrants have crossed the English Channel in small boats - a record for a single 
day. 
Border Force _______ 409 people, including young children, on board 27 boats, with several 
further vessels still being dealt with. Some of the migrants were carrying children too young to 
walk. Prime Minister Boris Johnson earlier on Wednesday said the UK had become "a target and a 
magnet for those who would exploit vulnerable people in this way". 
A further 53 people were rescued by French authorities after getting into difficulties before 
reaching British waters. Some 145 people had crossed the Channel in 18 small boats on Tuesday. 
Rough seas brought on by Storm Francis made crossings impossible at the end of August, but 
conditions have improved in the first two days of September. 
Speaking in the Commons during Prime Minister's Questions, Mr Johnson said: "I have a great deal 
of sympathy with those who are desperate as to put their children in dinghies or in children's 
paddling pools and try to cross the channel. 
"But I have to say what they're doing is falling prey to criminal gangs and they are breaking the 
law." He added: "It also undermines the legitimate claims of others who seek asylum in this 
country”. "We will address the rigidities in our laws that make this country, I'm afraid, a target and 
a magnet for those who would exploit vulnerable people in this way." 
More than 1,468 migrants made the crossing by small boat in August despite a vow from Home 
Secretary Priti Patel to make the dangerous route "unviable". The Home Office does not provide 
information on how many children are making the crossing on small boats. 
Home Office minister Chris Philp told the Commons on Wednesday the government was 
attempting to return 1,000 people who had arrived in the UK, having "previously claimed asylum in 
European countries, and under the regulations legally should be returned there". More than 7,400 
migrants have crossed the Channel in small boats since January 2019.

29. (2020 – Estratégia Militares – Inédita) The word “earlier” underlined in the text is 
 
a) An adjective 
b) An adverb 
c) A noun 
d) A verb 
Comentários: 
Ao resolver uma questão como essas, sempre digo que o melhor é fazer a análise do trecho onde a 
palavra em questão está inserida. A palavra “earlier” pode ser usada como adjetivo ou como 
advérbio, a depender da função que exerce na frase. Lambrando que adjetivos modificam 
substantivos, e advérbio modificam verbos, adjetivos ou outros advérbios. Pode-se observar que, 
no trecho em questão, a palavra “earlier” modifica a palavra “said” porque o trecho quer dizer que 
o primeiro ministro disse mais cedo na quarta-feira… Então, mais cedo (earlier) está modificando o 
verbo disse (said), situando o leitor em relação ao momento em que aquele discurso foi feito. 
Sendo assim, podemos dizer que “earlier” faz função de advérbio no trecho em questão.

This Is Me - Keala Settle 
 
I am not a stranger to the dark 
Hide away, they say 
'Cause we don't want your broken parts 
I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars 
Run away, they say 
No one'll love you as you are 
But I won't let them break me down to dust 
I know that there's a place for us 
For we are glorious 
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down 
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em out 
I am brave, I am bruised 
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me 
Look out 'cause here I come 
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum 
I'm not scared to be seen 
I make no apologies, this is me

A 12-year-old found a 69 million-year-old dinosaur fossil while hiking with his dad 
 Nathan Hrushkin _____ to be a paleontologist for as long as he can remember, and the 12-year-
old has already made a significant discovery. 
 He found a partially unearthed dinosaur fossil while hiking with his dad this summer at a 
conservation site in the Horseshoe Canyon in the Badlands of Alberta, Canada. 
 "It's pretty amazing to find something that's like real, like an actual dinosaur discovery," he told 
CNN. "It's kind of been my dream for a while." 
 The fossil was a humerus bone from the arm of a juvenile hadrosaur -- a duck-billed dinosaur that 
lived about 69 million years ago, according to a news release from the Nature Conservancy of 
Canada. 
 Nathan and his dad, Dion, had found bone fragments in the area on a previous hike and thought 
that they might have washed down from farther up the hill. 
 They were just finishing lunch when Nathan climbed up the hill to take a look. 
 "He called down to me, he's like, 'Dad, you need to get up here,' and as soon as he said that I 
could tell by the tone in his voice that he found something," Dion Hrushkin said. 
 Nathan said the fossil was very obvious and it looked like "a scene on a TV show or a cartoon or 
something." 
 They sent pictures of the bone to the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology, which identified the 
fossil and sent a team of paleontologists to the site. 
 Fossils are protected by law in Alberta, and the NCC said that it is important that people don't 
disturb any fossils they may find. 
 The crew has been working at the site for about two months and uncovered between 30 and 50 
bones that came from a single young hadrosaur that was about three or four years old, according 
to the statement. 
 Hadrosaur bones are the most common fossils found in Alberta's badlands, but few juvenile 
skeletons have been found, the statement said. It was also found in a layer of rock that rarelypreserves fossils. 
 "This young hadrosaur is a very important discovery because it comes from a time interval for 
which we know very little about what kind of dinosaurs or animals lived in Alberta," François 
Therrien, the Royal Tyrrell Museum's curator of dinosaur palaeoecology, said in the statement. 
"Nathan and Dion's find will help us fill this big gap in our knowledge of dinosaur evolution."
