Resposta correta 7 of 13 07/08/2025, 16:56Firefox Parabéns, você selecionou a alternativa correta. Confira gabarito comentado! Gabarito Comentado Speakers often turn to modals to express the likelihood of a given event, making its potential of occurrence more explicit. What's more, since different modals express different levels of confidence: possibility, probability or certainty, they aid in the process of underscoring the speaker's level of confidence on the likelihood of an event. Just remember that modalized statements are used to include the speaker's own perspectives in the craft of his or her proposition, whereas unmodalized propositions are read by their interlocutors as categorical descriptions, an objective account of actual facts. 7 Marcar para revisão Simply put, each modal has a phrasal counterpart.
