'Quiet quitting' isn't really quitting
("Desistir silenciosamente" não é realmente desistir)
Clocking out at 5 p.m. on the dot, only doing your assigned
daily tasks, limiting chats with colleagues and not working
overtime.
These are the distinctive features of "quiet quitting," a
term coined to describe how people are approaching their jobs
and professional lives differently to manage burnout.
The phrase, which isn't actually intended to lead to a
resignation, exploded into the popular lexicon in 2022 when a
TikTok video went viral.
The creator, Zaid Khan, said in the video
"I recently learned about this term 'quiet quitting,' where you're not
outright quitting your job, but you're quitting the idea of going
above and beyond."
Nonetheless, “quiet quitting” is a misnomer,
at least according to Karen K. Ho, a freelance business and
culture reporter.
She said that the term doesn't account for the fact
that people are watching their grocery bills, fuel costs and housing
prices go up, often without so much as a salary increase.
"You're
literally stagnating as a result of not earning more, not being
promoted – and that's why a lot of people are leaving jobs," she
completed.
While the words "quiet quitting" are loaded, evoking images
of a slacker or ne'er-do-well for some, others say that the
approach frees up time to spend with family and friends or to take
care of oneself.
In short, it's a renewed commitment to life beyond
the workplace.
On the other hand, the term “quiet quitting” has
also received criticism, even from those who generally favor the
idea behind it.
However, while the term "quiet quitting" may be a
new invention, the mentality behind it is not.
The phrase "work to
rule," for example, describes a labor action in which employees
strictly perform the work laid out in their contract, without taking on
additional work.
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a
major economic movement, The Great Resignation, which saw
people leaving their jobs or switching professions in droves, as
they re-evaluated their relationship with work during a lifechanging health crisis.
A May 2022 survey by RBC Insurance suggested that more
than one-third of recently retired Canadians aged 55-75 had
retired sooner than they planned.
Another third decided to retire
sooner because of the pandemic.
Moreover, Statistics Canada
reported that the third quarter of 2021 saw a 60% increase in job
vacancies compared to pre-pandemic levels in the country.
Both Quiet Quitting and The Great Resignation indicate a
marked cultural shift from the early and mid-2010s when "hustle
culture" paved the way to "grinding" and "girl-bossing" – two ideas
that prioritized work over everything else, with the belief that such
effort made employees more desirable to managers, therefore
helping them climb up the corporate ladder faster and
generating more income.
In addition, it is important to highlight that employees have
been re-evaluating how much time they spend commuting,
working overtime and generally investing in low-pay, low-reward
jobs.
It seems they have realized that they work in systems where
they are constantly immersed in a hustle culture – which has been
repeatedly shown to be only beneficial for corporations and their
managers, through bonuses, through increased productivity,
through increased revenue and profits and the like.
Furthermore, some employees are advocating for policies,
benefits and working conditions that strengthen work-life balance.
But critics say it doesn't work as well as it should, with a glaring
loophole that allows employers to take advantage by vaguely
wording their policies.

41. Based on the text, mark the statements below as True
(T) or False (F).
( ) By referring to “quiet quitting” as a misnomer, Karen K. Ho
means that the ups and downs of everyday life do not make viral
trends on TikTok.

💡 GABARITO B
🧠 Análise de cada afirmação:
🅘 “By referring to ‘quiet quitting’ as a misnomer, Karen K. Ho means that the ups and downs of everyday life do not make viral trends on TikTok.”
❌ Falsa.
Karen K. Ho chama o termo de misnomer (nome incorreto) porque ele não leva em conta os motivos reais das pessoas estarem insatisfeitas com o trabalho, como aumento de custos e falta de aumento salarial — não tem nada a ver com TikTok ou com tendências virais.
🅘🅘 “According to Zaid Khan, the idea behind ‘quiet quitting’ is to lead people to completely quit their jobs.”
❌ Falsa.
Zaid Khan explicou justamente o contrário:
“You’re not outright quitting your job, but you’re quitting the idea of going above and beyond.”
Ou seja, não é sair do emprego, mas parar de se esforçar além do necessário.
🅘🅘🅘 “In a nutshell, ‘quiet quitting’ is a renewed commitment to life beyond the workplace.”
✅ Verdadeira.
O texto afirma literalmente:
“In short, it’s a renewed commitment to life beyond the workplace.”
Ou seja, a frase está 100% correta.
🔹 Sequência correta:
F – F – T ✅
💡 Gabarito: 🅑 F – F – T
⚠️ Pegadinhas
Alguns candidatos confundem “misnomer” com “viral trend” (mas o termo refere-se a um nome errado, não à fama).
A segunda frase pode parecer verdadeira se o aluno não perceber o “not outright quitting your job” no texto.
A terceira é direta, mas serve para testar se o candidato leu até o final do trecho.
42. Right after bringing up that “quiet quitting” got criticism,
the text:
a) explains what people need to do to live without criticism.
b) emphasizes how the term is misused as “The Great
Resignation”.
c) ponder whether or not employees should be promoted for
working above and beyond.
d) introduces the results of a survey in North America.
e) mentions that the mentality behind the term is not a new
invention.

However, while the term ‘quiet quitting’ may be a new invention, the mentality behind it is not.”
🔍 Análise das alternativas:
🅐 “explains what people need to do to live without criticism.”
❌ Errada.
O texto não dá conselhos sobre como viver sem críticas — apenas menciona que o termo recebeu críticas.
🅑 “emphasizes how the term is misused as ‘The Great Resignation’.”
❌ Errada.
Embora o texto depois mencione The Great Resignation, isso ocorre mais adiante, e não como sinônimo de “quiet quitting”, mas como outro movimento relacionado ao trabalho.
🅒 “ponder whether or not employees should be promoted for working above and beyond.”
❌ Errada.
O texto não discute promoções ou recompensas nesse trecho. Esse tema aparece antes, quando se fala do “hustle culture”, mas não aqui.
🅓 “introduces the results of a survey in North America.”
❌ Errada.
A pesquisa (survey) é citada somente depois, sobre aposentadorias no Canadá — não imediatamente após a menção às críticas.
🅔 “mentions that the mentality behind the term is not a new invention.”
✅ Correta.
Logo após dizer que o termo recebeu críticas, o texto afirma exatamente isso:
“While the term ‘quiet quitting’ may be a new invention, the mentality behind it is not.”
💡 Gabarito: 🅔 mentions that the mentality behind the term is not a new invention.
⚠️ Pegadinhas
🅑 Tenta confundir “Quiet Quitting” com “The Great Resignation”.

43. According to the text, what ideas prioritized work over
everything else?
a) Quiet quitting and The Great Resignation.

🔍 Análise das alternativas:
🅐 Quiet quitting and The Great Resignation
❌ Errada.
Esses movimentos foram uma reação contrária à cultura do excesso de trabalho (“hustle culture”), e não ideias que priorizavam o trabalho.
🅑 Hustle culture and Mid-2010s
❌ Errada.
“Hustle culture” é sim uma dessas ideias, mas “Mid-2010s” é um período de tempo, não uma ideia — pegadinha de interpretação literal.
🅒 Ne’er-do-well and Work to rule
❌ Errada.
Esses termos aparecem no texto, mas com outros sentidos:
Ne’er-do-well = pessoa preguiçosa ou inútil.
Work to rule = ação sindical de seguir regras estritamente, não de priorizar o trabalho.
🅓 Grinding and Girl-bossing
✅ Correta.
O texto afirma explicitamente que essas duas ideias priorizavam o trabalho acima de tudo durante a “hustle culture”.
🅔 Low-pay and Low-reward jobs
❌ Errada.
Esses termos descrevem tipos de empregos, não ideologias.
💡 GABARITO: 🅓 Grinding and Girl-bossing

“And the like” in “(…) through increased revenue and profits and the like” means:
🧠 Trecho relevante do texto:
“Employers viewed extra effort as a sign of loyalty and ambition, which could lead to promotions through increased revenue and profits and the like.”
🔍 Análise das alternativas:
🅐 and unrelated matters
❌ Errada.
“Unrelated matters” significa assuntos não relacionados, o que contradiz o sentido da expressão — “and the like” indica coisas relacionadas ou semelhantes, não o oposto.
🅑 and disconnected things
❌ Errada.
“Disconnected things” = coisas desconectadas, também inverte o sentido real da expressão.
🅒 and another opposite subject
❌ Errada.
“Opposite subject” = assunto oposto, totalmente fora do contexto semântico de “and the like”.
🅓 and diverse matters
⚠️ Parcialmente certa, mas imprecisa.
“Diverse matters” = assuntos variados, mas “and the like” não se refere a variedade ampla; refere-se a coisas do mesmo tipo ou categoria.
🅔 and other similar things
✅ Correta.
A expressão “and the like” significa literalmente “e outras coisas semelhantes”, usada para generalizar exemplos de uma mesma categoria.
👉 Exemplo: We talked about exams, grades, and the like. → “Falamos sobre provas, notas e outras coisas do tipo.”
💡 GABARITO: 🅔 and other similar things
⚠️ Pegadinhas
🅐 e 🅑 tentam confundir com ideias de oposição/desconexão, o que é o contrário do sentido correto.
🅒 usa “opposite” para testar vocabulário — armadilha clássica.
🅓 parece plausível por usar “diverse”, mas amplia demais o sentido (variedade, e não similaridade).

Which of the sentences below is in the passive voice?
🔍 Analisando as alternativas:
🅐 “These are the distinctive features of…”
❌ Errada.
Verbo to be (are) aqui é verbo de ligação, não auxiliar de voz passiva.
👉 Estrutura: Sujeito + verbo de ligação + predicativo
➡️ “Essas são as características distintas de…”
Nada é sofrido pelo sujeito; logo, não é voz passiva.
🅑 “… where they are constantly immersed…”
✅ Correta.
Estrutura: are + past participle (immersed)
👉 “onde eles estão constantemente imersos”
➡️ O sujeito (they) sofre a ação de immerse → voz passiva.
✔ Passive voice: They are immersed (by someone/something).
🅒 “… even from those who generally favor the idea…”
❌ Errada.
O verbo principal é favor, na voz ativa:
👉 “aqueles que geralmente apoiam a ideia” — eles fazem a ação, não a recebem.
🅓 “A May 2022 survey by RBC Insurance suggested…”
❌ Errada.
O sujeito (survey) executa a ação de suggested → voz ativa.
🅔 “She said that the term doesn't account for…”

🧩 Questão 47 – Referência pronominal (“their”)
🔹 Trecho do texto:
“The phrase ‘work to rule’, for example, describes a labor action in which employees strictly perform the work laid out in their contract, without taking on additional work.”
🧠 Analisando o contexto:
O sujeito principal da frase é employees (empregados).
O texto explica que “work to rule” é quando os empregados fazem apenas o trabalho que está estabelecido em seus contratos.
➡️ Assim, o pronome “their” se refere a employees — ou seja, “o contrato deles” = “the employees’ contract”.
💬 Tradução:
“A expressão ‘trabalhar conforme o regulamento’, por exemplo, descreve uma ação trabalhista em que os empregados cumprem estritamente o trabalho estabelecido em seus contratos, sem assumir tarefas adicionais.”
💡 GABARITO: 🅓 employees
🧠 Resumo explicativo:

B. “…it doesn't work as well as it should...”
C. “Clocking out at 5 p.m. on the dot…”
D. “… evoking images of a slacker…”
I. Used as a discourse marker, “should” is also an auxiliary
modal verb that refers to a past situation in sentence B.
II. In sentence A, “third” is a cardinal number.
III. “Slacker” is a countable noun in sentence D.
IV. “On the dot”, in sentence C, means “exactly at

B. “…it doesn't work as well as it should…”
C. “Clocking out at 5 p.m. on the dot…”
D. “…evoking images of a slacker…”
Agora, vejamos cada assertiva:
🅘 “Used as a discourse marker, ‘should’ is also an auxiliary modal verb that refers to a past situation in sentence B.”
🔎 Em “it doesn’t work as well as it should”, o verbo modal “should” indica obrigação, expectativa ou recomendação no presente ou futuro hipotético, não no passado.
➡️ ❌ Errada.
“Should” aqui não se refere ao passado — e tampouco é um discourse marker (marcador discursivo).
🅘🅘 “In sentence A, ‘third’ is a cardinal number.”
🔎 “Third” (terceiro) é um número ordinal, não cardinal.
➡️ ❌ Errada.
Cardinais são one, two, three; ordinais são first, second, third.
🅘🅘🅘 “Slacker” is a countable noun in sentence D.”
🔎 “A slacker” → o artigo “a” mostra que é um substantivo contável (a slacker / two slackers).
➡️ ✅ Correta.
🅘🅘🅘🅘 “On the dot”, in sentence C, means “exactly at the stated or expected time.”
🔎 “Clocking out at 5 p.m. on the dot” = bater o ponto exatamente às 17h, pontualmente.
➡️ ✅ Correta.

🅔 if “completely” replaces the adverb “utterly”, the meaning of the sentence will drastically change.
Problema: “utterly” e “completely” são praticamente sinônimos nesse contexto, então o significado não muda drasticamente, tornando a afirmação falsa. ❌
