2  Código: 22235 - Enunciado: Agumentative texts persuade other people to agree with their claim by presenting 
evidence to support it. What is the reader encouraged to do in this example of an argumentative text? The school fair is 
right around the corner, and tickets have just gone on sale. Even though you may be busy, you will still want to reserve 
just one day out of an entire year to relax and have fun with us. Even if you don’t have much money, you don’t have to 
worry. The school fair is a community event, and, therefore, prices are kept low. Perhaps, you are still not convinced. 
Maybe you feel you are too old for fairs or you just don’t like them. Well, that’s what my grandfather thought, but he came 
to last year’s school fair and had this to say about it: “I had the best time of my life!” While it’s true you may be able to 
think of a reason not to come, I’m also sure you can think of several reasons why you must come.  We look forward to 
seeing you at the school fair!
 a) To be busy and not participate in the school fair. 
 b) To participate as a volunteer in the school fair. 
 c) To sell the tickets of the school fair. 
 d) To spend much money at the school fair. 
 e) To attend the school fair.  
Alternativa marcada:
e) To attend the school fair.  
Justificativa: Correct answer: To attend the school fair.  After reading the text, the reader is encouraged to attend the 
school fair. It is indicated in many passages of the text like: The school fair is right around the corner, and tickets have 
just gone on sale. Even though you may be busy, you will still want to reserve just one day out of an entire year to relax 
and have fun with us. Even if you don’t have much money, you don’t have to worry. The school fair is a community 
event, and, therefore, prices are kept low. Perhaps, you are still not convinced. Maybe you feel you are too old for fairs, 
or you just don’t like them. Well, that’s what my grandfather thought, but he came to last year’s school fair and had 
this to say about it: “I had the best time of my life!” While it’s true you may be able to think of a reason not to come, I’m 
also sure you can think of several reasons why you must come.  We look forward to seeing you at the school fair!  
Distractors: To be busy and not participate in the school fair. Wrong. It means that it does no matter you are busy, you 
will want to relax at the fair. To participate as a volunteer in the school fair. Wrong. It was never said. The text is trying 
to convince the readers to participate as visitors. To sell the tickets of the school fair. Wrong. The author wants the 
reader to buy the tickets of the school fair.  To spend much money at the school fair. Wrong. The author suggests that 
the reader will not need much money at the school fair because the prices there are low.

syntactic appropriate word choice. 
Alternativa marcada:
d) Addresses the writing task, is well organized, uses details to support or illustrate a thesis and displays facility in the 
use of language. 
Justificativa: Correct answer: Addresses the writing task, is well organized, uses details to support or illustrate a 
thesis and displays facility in the use of language. A good essay should have these elements in order to be more 
successful, clear and cohesive.
 Distractors: May be incoherent, may address the writing task, is well organized and is adequately organized and 
developed. Wrong. An essay cannot be incoherent. Is well organized and developed, uses details to support a thesis 
and may contain severe writing errors. Wrong. We do not expect to find writing errors in good essays. Demonstrates 
some range of vocabulary, may be undeveloped, shows irrelevant details and may contain some errors. Wrong. A good 
essay should not contain errors or be undeveloped. Uses some details to illustrate a thesis, uses inadequate 
organization, merely copies the topic, demonstrates syntactic appropriate word choice. Wrong. A good essay should 
not be either organized inadequately or a topic copy. 
4  Código: 22232 - Enunciado: The topic sentence tends to be a general idea rather than a specific one. The main idea of 
the topic sentence controls the rest of the paragraph. The topic sentence in a paragraph:

 b) Is always the first sentence.  
 c) Is developed with no relevant details.  
 d) Cannot be the last sentence.

point of a paragraph in order to keep the flow with the rest of the paragraph.    Distractors: Is always the first sentence. 
Wrong. It may be in the middle or at the end of a paragraph. Some paragraphs do not need a topic sentence. Is 
developed with no relevant details. Wrong.  In order to develop a good essay, it is necessary to use relevant details.

5  Código: 22328 - Enunciado: Most individuals have an inherent understanding of what it means to tell a story. 
Communication scholars supplement this colloquial understanding of narrative through the articulation of certain 
factors that distinguish narrative as a communication format. Narratives follow a particular structure that describes 
the cause-and-effect relationships between eventsthat take place over a particular time period that impact particular 
characters (DAHLSTROM, 2013). Considering the characteristics of a narrative, identify which of the following 
sentences represent an effective example of a narrative writing: 
 a) The cold weather hit me as I walked through the doors of Target. My sister screamed, annoyed, beside me. 
 b) The doors were green and old. The tired doorman seemed to ignore the terrible weather outside. 
 c) Wooden doors are expensive because they last longer. In addition, these kinds of doors are the most wanted by 
interior designers. 
 d) They can contribute to the advancement of sustainable agriculture in the country. 
 e) The black wooden doors smelled the hard times those people had gone through. 
Alternativa marcada:
c) Wooden doors are expensive because they last longer. In addition, these kinds of doors are the most wanted by 
interior designers. 
Justificativa: Correct answer:  The cold weather hit me as I walked through the doors of Target. My sister screamed, 
annoyed, beside me. It represents an effective example of a narrative writing because the writer narrates a 
sequence of events. To whom does the sentence in letter A answer? when? where? etc.  Distractors: The doors were 
green and old. The tired doorman seemed to ignore the terrible weather outside. Wrong. It does not represent an 
example of narrative writing. It describes things and people and, thus, it is an example of descriptive writing. Wooden 
doors are expensive because they last longer. In addition, these kinds of doors are the most wanted by interior 
designers. Wrong. It is an example of an argumentative writing because the sentence establishes a position on the 
topic in a concise manner. They can contribute to the advancement of sustainable agriculture in the country. Wrong. It 
represents an example of argumentative writing because the sentence establishes a position on the topic in a concise 
manner as well. The black wooden doors smelled the hard times those people had gone through. Wrong. It represents 
an example of descriptive writing because the writer employed the power of language and used human senses to 
bring a subject to life for the reader.

6  Código: 22238 - Enunciado: A critical review can enable you, as a writer, to become informed about the reading you

 e) Introduction, summary, critique, description of activities, references. 
Alternativa marcada:
d) Introduction, summary, critique, conclusion, references, apendix. 
Justificativa: Correct answer: Introduction, summary, critique, conclusion, references. The structure of a critical 
review usually has an introduction, a summary, a critique, a conclusion and references.   Distractors: The other 
alternatives have at least one item which is not part of a critical review structure. Introduction, description of 
activities, critique, conclusion. Wrong. The description of activities is not part of a critical review structure; 
Introduction, index, critique, conclusion, references. Wrong. The index is not part of a critical review structure; 
Introduction, summary, critique, conclusion, references, apendix. Wrong. The appendix are not part of a critical review 
structure; Introduction, summary, critique, description of activities, references. Wrong. The description of activities is

7  Código: 22327 - Enunciado: Read the excerpts below and identify the one that does not fit the characteristics of an 
argumentative paragraph: 
 a) Good nutrition can help prevent disease and promote health. Consumption of important fruits and vegetables 
ensures lower level of mortality and reduces various degenerative diseases. During lifetime, an individual consumes 30 
tons of food on average in seemingly endless dietary varieties. Nutrition is deemed functional on condition that it 
beneficially influences various body functions. Weight issues have always influenced American society, involving 
health, psychological and socio-emotional considerations. 
 b) The main causes of obesity are: the decreased level of nutrients intake and sedentary lifestyle. For example, 
the intake of fast food meals tripled between 1977 and 1995, and calorie level magnified four times during the same 
period. Nevertheless, it is insufficient explanation of phenomenal rise in the obesity levels in the well-developed 
countries. Overall, obesity is a significant health and social problem, which has reached pandemic levels. 
 c) For the next eight or ten months, Oliver was the victim of a systematic course of treachery and deception. He 
was brought up by hand. The hungry and destitute situation of the infant orphan was duly reported by the workhouse 
authorities to the parish authorities. The parish authorities inquired with dignity of the workhouse authorities whether 
there was no female then domiciled in 'the house', who was in a situation to impart to Oliver Twist, the consolation 
and nourishment of which he stood in need. The workhouse authorities replied with humility, that there was not. 
Upon this, the parish authorities magnanimously and humanely resolved that Oliver should be 'farmed' or, in other 
words, that he should be dispatched to a branch workhouse some three miles off, where twenty or thirty other juvenile 
offenders against the poor-laws rolled about the floor all day, without the inconvenience of too much food or too 
much clothing, under the parental superintendence of an elderly female, who received the culprits at and for the 
consideration of seven pence-half penny per small head per week. 
 d) Alcohol addiction is largely featured by general tolerance for alcohol with periodically increasing amounts to 
achieve the same degree of satisfaction. Alcohol addiction is mostly featured by psychological and physical 
dependence on daily basis. The need for alcohol is present when a person craves it and cannot limit actual amounts or 
whenever a drinker enlarges alcohol consumption to feel high. 
 e) Therefore, there is much more to a teacher than high professionalism. What makes kids hardly wait until the 
lesson starts in one case and hating the subject in others? Of course, high professionalism in the field of the taught 
subject is very important, but when it comes to being a bad or a good teacher, this is not the weightiest factor. A good 
teacher is a person who not just reproduces the knowledge he got.

is a sample of a descriptive paragraph because the author describes what happened to a victim of violence.

consumes 30 tons of food on average in seemingly endless dietary varieties. Nutrition is deemed functional on 
condition that it beneficially influences various body functions. Weight issues have always influenced American

argumentative paragraph because the author argues about the positive points of good nutrition. The main causes of 
obesity are: the decreased level of nutrients intake and sedentary lifestyle. For example, the intake of fast food meals

significant health and social problem, which has reached pandemic levels. Wrong. This alternative is a sample of an 
argumentative paragraph because the author clear states the main causes of obesity. Alcohol addiction is largely 
featured by general tolerance for alcohol with periodically increasing amounts to achieve the same degree of 
satisfaction. Alcohol addiction is mostly featured by psychological and physical dependence on daily basis. The need 
for alcohol is present when a person craves it and cannot limit actual amounts or whenever a drinker enlarges alcohol 
consumption to feel high. Wrong. This alternative is an argumentative paragraph because the author presents 
information about alcoholism using clear statements. Therefore, there is much more to a teacher than high 
professionalism. What makes kids hardly wait until the lesson starts in one cases and hating the subject in others? Of 
course, high professionalism in the field of the taught subject is very important, but when it comes to being a bad or a 
good teacher, this is not the weightiest factor. A good teacher is a person who not just reproduces the knowledge he 
got. Wrong. This alternative is an argumentative paragraph because it presents information about teacher roles using 
clear arguments.

 c) With a moustache and beard. 
 d) With long hair and glasses. 
 e) With long curly hair and beard. 
Alternativa marcada:
c) With a moustache and beard. 
Justificativa: Correct answer:  With a moustache and beard. Mr. Smith was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, 
although he did have a very large moustache. Here, the description of the character is well done.  Distractors: With 
blue eyes and blond hair. Wrong. According to the picture, he had brown eyes and was bald. The description is not 
good. With a moustache but any beard. Wrong. According to the picture, he had a moustache and a beard. The

9  Código: 22233 - Enunciado:  Look at the picture and write 15-line narrative essay based on that. Remember to use the 
basic elements studied to help you writting an effective text. 
Resposta: 
Justificativa: Expected answer: Students should write a narrative essay following the structure: orientation, 
complication, resolution.  
1,40/ 1,50 
10  Código: 22237 - Enunciado: After reading the excerpt below, write a 5-line summary about it. Write it based on the 
itens studied before. Hearing the term “reality” applied to a television show, you might expect that the events occurred 
naturally or, at least, were not scripted, but this is not always the case.  Many reality shows occur in unreal environments, 
like rented mansions occupied by film crews.  These living environments do not reflect what most people understand to be 
“reality.”  Worse, there have been accusations that events not captured on film were later restaged by producers.  Worse 
still, some involved in the production of “reality” television claim that the participants were urged to act out story lines 
premeditated by producers.  With such accusations floating around, it’s no wonder many people take reality TV to be 
about as real as the sitcom.  
Resposta: 
1,50/ 1,50 
Justificativa: Expected answer: Reality TV shows are not very realistic because they are filmed in unrealistic places. 
They may contain restaged events and may be scripted as well.
