A global campaign promoting animal adoption features the slogan “Who rescued Who.” This campaign celebrates the unique bond between a human and a rescued animal.

Enunciado 4833593-1

Although often seen on bumper stickers, t-shirts, and social media posts, the slogan “Who rescued Who” is grammatically incorrect. Select the option that provides the CORRECT explanation of the error.

A

The phrase is a rhetorical question, so the grammatical rules of a direct question don't apply.

B

The sentence is in the past tense, so both pronouns should be changed to reflect that, “Whom rescued whom?”

C

The slogan is an interrogative sentence and must have a noun or proper noun as its subject, not a pronoun.

D

The first pronoun, “Who”, is the subject and is correctly in the nominative case, but the second pronoun, “Who”, is the object and should be in the accusative case, making the correct form, “Who rescued whom?”

E

The slogan is grammatically incorrect because it uses a subject pronoun where an object pronoun is needed, but the phrase is a rhetorical question that intentionally uses the informal “who” to emphasize the shared identity of the rescuer and the rescued.

Read the cartoon strip below and answer question

In the cartoon, Calvin says: “I sure feel sorry for my tapeworm.” The highlighted expression is an example of a lexical collocation. Which of the following statements CORRECTLY characterizes its use in English?

A

It illustrates a fixed verb–preposition construction whose meaning is literal, not idiomatic, and is frequently used to express empathy toward someone or something.

B

It is an idiomatic collocation interchangeable with “regret about,” and it requires the object to be an abstract noun rather than an animate entity.

C

It belongs to the category of strong collocations where substitution of the verb (feel) by near-synonyms like sense or experience is normally acceptable without altering meaning.

D

It represents a free combination of words with no restrictions, since both “sorry” and “for” can freely combine with a wide variety of verbs in English.

E

It demonstrates a restricted collocation, where sorry collocates with specific verbs (feel, be, sound, look), and the structure tends to convey a pragmatic idea of empathy or mild pity

In the cartoon, Susie tells Calvin: “You'd better not”. How can this expression be CORRECTLY analyzed in terms of form and meaning?

A

It is a Past Perfect prediction, similar in meaning to “You will probably not.”.

B

It is equivalent to the Past Perfect of “would better”, indicating an unreal past situation.

C

It is a polite request structure, interchangeable with “Would you mind not …?”

D

It carries the same force as must not, expressing prohibition rather than advice.

E

It is a semi-modal construction that expresses strong advice or warning, often implying negative consequences if not followed

Consider the two sentences below:

1. At six, everyone will have left the office.
2. At six, everyone will leave the office.

Which statement CORRECTLY explains the difference between them?

A

(1) emphasizes a routine behavior, while (2) emphasizes a one-time future perfect event.

B

(1) presents the leaving as an action already completed by six o'clock, while (2) presents it as an action scheduled to happen at six o'clock.

C

(1) is ungrammatical because the Future Perfect cannot be used with a specific time expression, while (2) is the natural choice.

D

(1) indicates probability, while (2) indicates certainty.

E

(1) and (2) are stylistic variants of the same idea, with no real difference in meaning

Gramática - Língua InglesaVerbos | Verbs

In the sentence “He has been being difficult for some time” the CORRECT way to evaluate the use of the verb be in this context is:

A

The construction is possible, since be is polysemous: so it can be used dynamically when someone deliberately assumes a characteristic or behavior. In this case, “being difficult”suggests intentional conduct.

B

The sentence is entirely ungrammatical because be is a stative verb and stative verbs cannot appear in progressive forms.

C

The sentence is perfectly idiomatic, as be is freely used in the progressive aspect whenever duration is emphasized. This usage is natural English.

D

The sentence should be reformulated using the Present Perfect Simple, because be never carries a dynamic reading. The natural correction is: “He has been difficult for some time.”

E

The progressive aspect here indicates passivity. The intended meaning is passive, so the corrected sentence should be: “He has been being treated as difficult for some time.”

Consider the sentence: He looked up the word in a dictionary. Choose the CORRECT option that reveals the nature of phrasal verbs.

A

The particle functions as a preposition, introducing the object of the verb.

B

The sentence can be rephrased without altering its meaning to He looked the word in a dictionary, because the particle is optional and does not contribute to the verb's lexical meaning.

C

The verb retains its basic meaning, while the particle adds an optional semantic nuance.

D

The particle and the verb fuse into a single lexical item, whose meaning is not predictable from the parts.

E

Phrasal verbs can always replace single-word verbs without affecting style or context.
