When transforming the sentence into reported speech, it is necessary to consider the appropriate changes in verb tense and deictic expressions. About this, choose the correct alternative:

A

“Laura said that she can’t attend the meeting now because her supervisor is traveling,” – because it keeps the verb tenses from the direct speech and violates the principle of sequence of tenses.

B

“Laura told that she couldn’t attend the meeting now because her supervisor was traveling.” – the verb “tell” requires a mandatory indirect object; now does not undergo deictic shift.

C

“aura said that she couldn’t attend the meeting then because her supervisor was traveling,” – because the modal can shifts to could when the reporting verb (said) is in the past, following the principle of modal remoteness.

D

“Laura said that she can’t attend the meeting then because her supervisor is traveling.” – it maintains present tenses and only modifies the deictic element; inconsistent with reported discourse in a past context.

E

“Laura told to them that she couldn’t attend the meeting because her supervisor travels.” – because of temporal changes and the presence of contextual markers.

Interpretação de texto | Reading comprehension

“Roman aqueducts were advanced hydraulic-engineering systems designed to transport water from distant springs to cities, bath complexes, and public fountains. Built with arches, elevated channels, and underground tunnels, they combined technical precision with topographic knowledge. Their durability and efficiency continue to influence modern water-supply projects.”.

The text about Roman aqueducts presents information organized objectively, explaining structural and functional characteristics of this hydraulic system. Considering principles of text typology and textual genre, choose the correct alternative:

A

The text is predominantly narrative and belongs to the historical account genre, since it describes a chronological sequence of events from the Roman Empire.

B

The text is descriptive and fits the technical report genre, as it presents a step -by -step account of aqueduct construction.

C

The text is argumentative and falls under the opinion article genre, because it evaluates the advantages of aqueducts compared to modern technologies.

D

The text displays an expository typology and approximates the informational or encyclopedic genre, since it explains concepts and characteristics objectively and without a sequential plot.

E

The text is injunctive and belongs to the instruction -manual genre, because it guides the reader on how to use Roman engineering techniques.

Gramática - Língua InglesaOrações condicionais | Conditional Clauses

In English grammar, zero, first, and second conditional structures differ in their semantic value and in the relationship between verb tense and degree of hypotheticality. Based on modality and on the prototypical use of verbal tenses in conditional structures, choose the correct alternative:

A

The zero conditional expresses unreal hypothetical situations and uses the future tense in the main clause to indicate a highly unlikely consequence.

B

The second conditional uses would + base form in the conditional clause and simple past in the main clause, since it represents a realistic sequence in the future.

C

All three conditionals use the simple present in the conditional clause, varying only the type of modal used in the main clause.

D

The zero conditional and the first conditional share the same semantic meaning, as both refer to habits and routines without any expression of futurity.

E

The first conditional uses the present tense in the conditional clause and the future tense in the main clause, indicating a realistic and possible event based on temporal projection rather than on a counterfactual hypothesis.

Análise sintática | Syntax Parsing
Voz Ativa e Passiva | Passive and Active Voice

Consider the sentences below:

The committee rejected the proposal after a long discussion.

The proposal, after a long discussion, was rejected.

After a long discussion, the proposal faced rejection.

Analyze the three statements considering voice, syntactic structure, systemic-functional grammar (theme/rheme), and changes in informational focus. Mark the correct alternative:

A

None of the sentences presents verbal transitivity traits suitable for conversion between active and passive voice and vice versa.

B

Sentence (1) is in active voice and highlights the agent as the Theme, while in (2) and (3) the Theme is the patient, producing an informational reorganization that shifts the focus to the event rather than to the performer of the action.

C

Alternation from active to passive generally requires the elimination of the subject in the final sentence.

D

Sentence (1) cannot be transformed into the passive voice because the verb reject does not allow valency alternation between active and passive structures.

E

All three sentences are semantically equivalent, since variations in word order do not affect theme distribution or the informational focus of the statements.

Análise sintática | Syntax Parsing

Nominal sentences present a relatively simple grammatical structure and fulfill their function in a direct way. Verbal sentences, on the other hand, due to the presence of lexical elements and more complex relations, have a more elaborate structure. Analyze the two examples below and mark the correct option:

“The little girl quickly opened the red box in the kitchen.”

“Absolute silence in the library.”

A

The nominal sentence maintains its characteristic of not using a verb and, even so, expresses a complete idea by organizing nominal elements in a clear and cohesive way.

B

Nominal sentences should not be considered sentences, since this structure only occurs with the presence of a verb, as in clauses.

C

Verbal sentences are considered the only possible ones in certain genres or textual types, thus reflecting the factual characteristics of the text.

D

Nominal sentences shift the subject’s action from a noun to an adjective.

E

Verbal sentences have in the subject [noun] only one element for verbal conjugation.
