❑ QuestĂŁo 37 – Read the following text, analyse the assertions below and point out the corresponding option. 

Language Trends is an annual survey of primary and secondary schools in England, designed to gather information about the situation for language teaching and learning. Its aims are: 

(a) to assess the impact of policy measures in relation to languages; and 

(b) to analyse strengths and weaknesses based both on quantitative evidence and on views expressed by teachers. 

Since 2015 there has also been an annual survey in Wales, and since 2019 a biennial survey in Northern Ireland; reports can be found on the corresponding country’s British Council website. 

The Language Trends series shows general shifts in data and seeks to provide a springboard for teachers, school leaders, academics, inspectors, policy makers, school pupils and the public to consider aspects of language learning more deeply. 

The headline findings for 2023 include: 

• Almost nine out of ten responding primary schools have some pupils for whom English is an Additional Language (EAL). 

• The 2023 data reflect a positive increase in the number of primary schools in contact with secondary schools concerning language education. 

• French remains the most popular language at Key Stage 3, followed closely by Spanish in both state and independent sectors. 

• German is the third most popular curricular language, but entries are much higher in the independent sector. 

• For the fourth year running, Spanish continues to have the highest number of A-level entries. 

• Schools’ international engagement is improving since the Covid-19 pandemic. 

• Further study is required to observe to what extent parents’/carers’ attitudes to languages can affect pupils’ desire to study a language.

❑ QuestĂŁo 38 – The Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) in its rationale for choosing English to be taught in Brazilian schools justified the choice for English based on relevant role in world communication.

A) English should be learned in the same ways Portuguese is learned.

đŸ”čReflete corretamente o princĂ­pio da BNCC: aprender inglĂȘs a partir de prĂĄticas comunicativas reais, assim como se aprende a lĂ­ngua materna (PortuguĂȘs).
đŸ”čPegadinha: a palavra “same ways” pode confundir, mas o texto enfatiza aprender a lĂ­ngua como se aprende naturalmente.
B) ❌The political and social perspectives have an informative character.
đŸ”čO texto menciona comunicação e reflexĂŁo, nĂŁo foca em carĂĄter informativo polĂ­tico ou social.
đŸ”čPegadinha: a palavra “informative” aparece em outros documentos, mas aqui desvia o sentido.
C) ❌Territorial as well as geographic focus must guide linguistic practices.

D) ❌The oral understanding is the main objective in the document’s views. 
đŸ”čEmbora a oralidade seja importante, a BNCC enfatiza aprendizagem por meio de prĂĄticas e reflexĂŁo, nĂŁo apenas compreensĂŁo oral.

❑ Read the text. 
It refers to two major aspects of language use today. 

The first is the variability of meaning making in different cultural, social or domain-specific contexts. 

These differences are becoming ever more significant to our communication environment. 

This means that it is no longer enough for literacy teaching to focus solely on the rules of standard forms of the national language. 

Rather, the business of communication and representation of meaning today increasingly requires that learners are able figure to out differences in patterns of meaning from one context to another. 

These differences are the consequence of any number of factors such as culture, gender, life experience, subject matter, or social or subject domain. 

Every meaning exchange is cross-cultural to a certain degree. 

The second aspect of language use today arises in part from the characteristics of the new information and communication media. 

Meaning is made in ways that are increasingly multimodal – in which written-linguistic modes of meaning interface with oral, visual, audio, gestural, tactile and spatial patterns of meaning.

HĂĄ duas caracterĂ­sticas principais do uso da linguagem hoje:
Variabilidade de significado em diferentes contextos culturais, sociais ou especĂ­ficos de domĂ­nio.
Multimodalidade, combinando modos escritos, orais, visuais, gestuais, etc.
Conclusão: ensinar apenas formas padrão da língua não é suficiente; é preciso que o aprendiz compreenda diferenças de padrÔes de significado e interaçÔes multimodais.
📌 Alternativas:
A) ✅Multiliteracy
Exatamente o conceito abordado: ensinar leitura e escrita em mĂșltiplos modos e contextos culturais.
Pegadinha: a palavra “literacy” pode confundir, pois muitos associam apenas Ă  alfabetização tradicional, mas aqui Ă© “multiliteracy”, que envolve multimodalidade e diversidade cultural.
B) ❌Lingua franca
Refere-se a uma língua de comunicação comum entre falantes de línguas diferentes, mas o texto fala sobre como se constrói significado, não sobre língua de uso comum.
C) ❌Global language
Significa uma lĂ­ngua falada internacionalmente, por exemplo, o inglĂȘs. NĂŁo Ă© o foco do texto.
D) ❌Standard language
O texto critica justamente o foco exclusivo em formas padrĂŁo.

❑ QuestĂŁo 40 – Examine verbal and non verbal information to select the compatible item.
🔗(Available in: https://www.goodreads.com. Adapted.) 
The book “No Mirrors in my Nana's House” is a fiction book about a young African American girl who enjoys going to visit her Nana, whose house doesn't have any mirrors. 

The young girl's Nana zones in on the young girls inner beauty instead of focusing on external appearance. Since Nana's house doesn't have any mirrors, they can't see the reflection of the cracks in the wall or the clothes that don't fit. 

The granddaughter grows up seeing the world through her Nana's loving eyes, rather than in a coldly objective reflection. 

The symbolic meaning of mirrorsis a clear view of oneself causing people to think about themselves and analyze feelings and actions. 

Dr. Ysaye M. Barnwell, the book’s author, is best known as a member of Sweet Honey in the Rock, an a capella quintet of African American women who perform to acclaim across the country and around the world. 

"No Mirrors in My Nana's House" is one of a number of her compositions performed and recorded by the group that she transformed in her first book for children. 

Barnwell, who has a PhD (1975) in speech pathology from the University of Pittsburgh, and also earned a Master of Science in Public health, from Howard University in 1981, informs us that in Africa "Nana" refers to a respected leader or teacher, and also that no mirrors are allowed during initiation ceremonies in Africa. 
🔗(Available in: https://www.rif.or. Adapted.) 
A) The song was launched prior to the children’s story existence. 
B) Mirrors do reflect children’s and adults’ inner life and feelings. 
C) Physical beauty is one of the ruling elements in African culture. 
D) Nana’s personal beliefs dodge the precepts of ancient religions.
💡 GABARITO  A  
đŸ§©đŸ“Œ Texto resumido:
O livro “No Mirrors in My Nana's House” foca em uma menina afro-americana e sua avĂł (Nana).
Nana nĂŁo usa espelhos na casa → enfatiza a beleza interior em vez da aparĂȘncia externa.
SĂ­mbolo do espelho: “uma visĂŁo clara de si mesmo, fazendo as pessoas refletirem sobre sentimentos e açÔes”.
A autora Ysaye M. Barnwell Ă© conhecida por Sweet Honey in the Rock, grupo de mĂșsica a capella.
Informação importante: o livro surgiu após algumas composiçÔes musicais da autora.
📌 Alternativas:
A) ✅The song was launched prior to the children’s story existence.
đŸ”čCorreta → “A mĂșsica foi lançada antes da existĂȘncia da histĂłria infantil.”
đŸ”č"prior to"antes de (mais formal que simplesmente “antes”).
đŸ”čCorreta: o texto indica que algumas composiçÔes da autora jĂĄ existiam antes do livro.
đŸ”čPegadinha: a menção ao livro e ao grupo musical pode confundir, fazendo pensar que o livro Ă© anterior Ă  mĂșsica, mas nĂŁo Ă©.
B) ❌Mirrors do reflect children’s and adults’ inner life and feelings. 
đŸ”čO texto enfatiza o contrĂĄrio, que os espelhos nĂŁo revelam a vida interior, e Nana quer que a menina veja o mundo atravĂ©s do amor, nĂŁo do reflexo frio.
C) ❌Physical beauty is one of the ruling elements in African culture.
Falsa: o texto nĂŁo afirma isso; ao contrĂĄrio, em rituais de iniciação africanos, nĂŁo se usam espelhos, valorizando algo alĂ©m da aparĂȘncia fĂ­sica.
D) ❌Nana’s personal beliefs dodge the precepts of ancient religions.
Falsa: o texto sugere que as prĂĄticas de Nana tĂȘm conexĂŁo com tradiçÔes africanas, nĂŁo ignoram a religiĂŁo.

❑ QuestĂŁo 41 – Having the image as reference, it is correct to state that.
đŸ”čPlease satanise your hands here.
🔗(Available in: https://www.demilked.com. Adapted.) 
A) It displays a spelling mistake. 
B) Polysemy builts a funny idea. 
C) The placard averts ambiguity. 
D) Word swap has been featured.
💡 GABARITO  D  
đŸ§©đŸ“Œ Texto/Imagem resumido:
Placa escrita: “Please satanise your hands here”
Claramente, a palavra “satanise” Ă© um erro proposital em vez de “sanitize”.
A intenção é humorística, brincando com a troca de letras.
📌 Alternativas:
A) ❌It displays a spelling mistake.
Verdadeira em sentido literal, mas não é a principal intenção da piada, jå que o humor vem da troca de palavras, não apenas do erro ortogråfico.
Pegadinha: o aluno pode ser levado a escolher “erro ortogrĂĄfico”, mas o foco do exercĂ­cio Ă© o mecanismo humorĂ­stico.
B) ❌Polysemy builts a funny idea.
Falsa: “satanise” nĂŁo gera mĂșltiplos significados (polissemia), mas sim um trocadilho literal.
Pegadinha: confundir trocadilho com polissemia.
C) ❌The placard averts ambiguity. 
Falsa: a placa não evita ambiguidade, pelo contrårio, cria um efeito engraçado por alterar o significado esperado.
D) ✅Word swap has been featured.
Correta: o humor vem da troca de letras em “sanitize” → “satanise”, que gera efeito cĂŽmico.
Pegadinha: é fåcil confundir com erro ortogråfico, mas a questão foca na técnica humorística.

❑ QuestĂŁo 42 – Rupi Kaur emigrated to Canada from India when she was four. On Instagram, 2009, she became a worldwide success. 
Considering the hints available, the text’s main idea is:

silly girl 
little angel

the magician 
the master of your life.

Rupi Kaur imigrou para o CanadĂĄ e se tornou sucesso no Instagram.
O poema usa expressĂ”es como: “Miracle Worker”, “the master of your life”, “being the miracle worker”.
Indica autonomia, responsabilidade e protagonismo pessoal na construção da própria vida.
📝 Análise das alternativas:
A) ❌The worth of labor in one’s routine
Pegadinha: palavras como “miracle worker” podem sugerir esforço diĂĄrio, mas o foco do poema nĂŁo Ă© rotina ou trabalho contĂ­nuo, e sim autoresponsabilidade.
B) ❌The edge of having a frantic lifestyle 
Pegadinha: a menção ao sucesso e conquistas poderia induzir à ideia de correria, mas o poema não fala de estresse ou agitação, apenas de autonomia.
C) ❌The outburst of one that’s overrated 
Pegadinha: “miracle worker” pode dar impressĂŁo de exagero ou vaidade, mas o poema nĂŁo critica ninguĂ©m, apenas enfatiza autoempoderamento.
D) ✅One’s liability concerning selfbuilding 
Correta: traduz a ideia de responsabilidade pessoal na prĂłpria construção de vida, alinhada a expressĂ”es como “the master of your life”.
Pegadinha invertida: linguagem poética pode confundir, mas a interpretação correta é metåfora de autonomia.

Pegadinha: “to you” parece natural para quem traduz diretamente do portuguĂȘs, mas em inglĂȘs a preposição correta Ă© with.
b. Adriane had been marrried to Phil for so long when he died. ✅
Pequeno erro de digitação: “marrried” com trĂȘs r's.
Caso estivesse escrito corretamente, a estrutura do past perfect continuous com “for so long when he died” Ă© aceitĂĄvel.
c. We’re just at the time to catch the train to Liverpool. ✅
Estrutura incorreta. Correto seria: We’re just in time to catch the train.

❑ Read the text to choose the option that is a text supported statement. 

Claudine and Dismas have always struggled to make ends meet in Burundi. 

On their farm, they grow beans, maize, bananas and sorghum, which helps them financially since their harvest is profitable, and the lands fruitful. 

After her second pregnancy, Claudine became very ill, and much of the extras they had went to pay for traditional healers and medical doctors searching for answers to her sickness. 

The birth of their second child, Valerie, with clubfoot added to the family’s tight financial situation. 

The condition was not even identified until about a month after Valerie was born when her grandmother was changing her. 

The grandmother recognized clubfoot because Claudine’s stepsister also had children born with the disability. 

People discouraged Claudine and Dismas from finding treatment because they felt Valerie’s feet resulted from the strange illness Claudine suffered during her pregnancy. 

Even if treatment was possible, neighbors reasoned the family would never be able to afford it. 

Claudine and Dismas decided to put all their limited financial resources toward clubfoot treatment. Still, saving enough money for transportation to the first clinic visit took them a while. 

At the clinic, Hope Walks staff gave them the good news that treatment would be free for them. 
❑ QuestĂŁo 44
A) The couple has always had a hard time paying their bills. 
B) Witch doctors reached cures for Claudine’s malady in herbs. 
C) The baby was healed with folk medicine and tribal practices. 
D) The neighbors believed clubfoot was a medication side effect.
💡 GABARITO  A  
đŸ§©đŸ” Analisando cada opção:
A) The couple has always had a hard time paying their bills. ✅
Correto. O texto diz: “Claudine and Dismas have always struggled to make ends meet in Burundi.”
Pegadinha: o texto usa “make ends meet” e muitas pessoas que traduzem literalmente podem nĂŁo associar com “paying their bills”, mas Ă© equivalente em sentido.
B) Witch doctors reached cures for Claudine’s malady in herbs. ❌
Errado. O texto apenas menciona que dinheiro foi gasto com curandeiros tradicionais e médicos, mas não diz que houve cura.
C) The baby was healed with folk medicine and tribal practices. ❌
Errado. O tratamento que salvou o bebĂȘ foi na clĂ­nica Hope Walks, gratuitamente, nĂŁo medicina tradicional.
D) The neighbors believed clubfoot was a medication side effect. ❌
Errado. Os vizinhos pensavam que era resultado da doença que Claudine teve na gravidez, não efeito de remédio.

❑ QuestĂŁo 45 – “Smooth” is a song issued in 1999, revealing several of very contemporary society’s aspects through language, and also through its message, EXCEPT: 

Smooth (by Carlos Santana) 

Man, it's a hot one 
Like seven inches from the midday sun 
Well, I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone 
But you stay so cool 
My muñequita, my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa You're my reason for reason, the step in my groove, yeah 

And if you say, “This life ain't good enough” 
I would give my world to lift you up 
I could change my life to better suit your mood 'Cause you're so smooth 

And it's just like the ocean under the moon 
Well, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you 
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth Gimme your heart, make it real, or else forget about it 

Well, I'll tell you one thing 
If you would leave it'd be a crying shame 
In every breath and every word 
I hear your name callin' me out 
Out from the barrio, you hear my rhythm on the radio 
You feel the turning of the world so soft and slow Turnin' you round and round. 
🔗(Available in: https://genius.com/Santana-smooth-lyrics.) 
A) The very unusual word setup. 
B) Fitting happens in diverse ways. 
C) A decrease in language barriers. 
D) The linguistic and cultural blend. 
💡 GABARITO  A  
đŸ§©đŸ” OpçÔes:
A) The very unusual word setup. ✅
Correto como exceção.
O texto da mĂșsica nĂŁo apresenta uma estrutura gramatical ou “setup” incomum; as frases sĂŁo coloquiais e poĂ©ticas, mas seguem padrĂ”es normais de inglĂȘs.
Pegadinha: muitos pensam que a linguagem poĂ©tica ou rĂ­tmica seja “estranha”, mas na verdade Ă© apenas estilĂ­stica, nĂŁo estruturalmente incomum.
B) Fitting happens in diverse ways. ❌
Errado como exceção.
A mĂșsica mostra como o amor e a vida se adaptam a diferentes circunstĂąncias: “I could change my life to better suit your mood”.
Pegadinha: “fitting” Ă© interpretado literalmente, mas aqui Ă© figurativo.
C) A decrease in language barriers. ❌
Errado como exceção.
A mistura de espanhol e inglĂȘs (“muñequita”, “Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa”) contribui para reduzir barreiras culturais e linguĂ­sticas, integrando lĂ­nguas e culturas.
D) The linguistic and cultural blend. ❌
Errado como exceção.
Evidente na letra, com referĂȘncias culturais latinas e termos espanhĂłis no meio da mĂșsica em inglĂȘs.
✅ ConclusĂŁo: A alternativa correta Ă© A, pois nĂŁo hĂĄ um “word setup” realmente incomum, apenas estilização poĂ©tica.
Pegadinha principal: confundir estilo poĂ©tico e rĂ­tmico com “estrutura gramatical incomum”.

❑ QuestĂŁo 46 – Having analysed the words in the group, and taking into account words’ formation processes, there is correct data applicable to all of the group components in: 

  • endanger- kilometre-outnumber-telescope-polyglot-misunderstood-prewarmaltreat-photosynthesis-archbishop-deforestation-enable-rewind-absent 
A) Prefixes were added to change adjectives into nouns. 
B) Nouns and also verbs may be obtained by prefixation. 
C) Suffixes have been added to verbs to form new nouns. 
D) The prefixes used are supposed to mean action reversal. 
💡 GABARITO  B  
đŸ§©đŸ” OpçÔes:
A) Prefixes were added to change adjectives into nouns. ❌
Errado: a maioria das palavras do grupo nĂŁo sĂŁo adjetivos transformados em substantivos por prefixos. Ex.: endanger (verbo), kilometre (substantivo), polyglot (substantivo/adjetivo).
Pegadinha: confundir prefixos com mudança de classe gramatical.
B) Nouns and also verbs may be obtained by prefixation. ✅
Correto:
Prewarm (verbo) → prefixo pre- indica anterioridade.
Misunderstood (verbo) → prefixo mis- indica erro.
Outnumber (verbo) → prefixo out- indica “superar em nĂșmero”.
Pegadinha: pensar que todos os prefixos tĂȘm significado Ășnico ou sempre transformam a palavra em substantivo.
C) Suffixes have been added to verbs to form new nouns. ❌
Errado: poucas palavras tĂȘm sufixos formando substantivos. Ex.: photosynthesis envolve -synthesis, mas nĂŁo se aplica a todas.
Pegadinha: generalizar exceçÔes.
D) The prefixes used are supposed to mean action reversal. ❌
Errado: nem todos os prefixos indicam reversĂŁo (pre-, out-, poly-).
Pegadinha: confundir prefixos que indicam negação ou oposição com reversão.
✅ ConclusĂŁo: A alternativa correta Ă© B, pois prefixos podem gerar verbos e substantivos, sendo a regra aplicĂĄvel a vĂĄrias palavras do grupo.
Pegadinha principal: assumir que todos os prefixos tĂȘm a mesma função sem analisar o contexto de cada palavra.

❑ QuestĂŁo 47 – Inspect the sentences thoroughly to appoint the fitting assertion. 
a. Shut up or I’ll lose my temper. 
b. Drop by one day and you’ll see how much our kids have grown. 
c. Touch that again and you might get in trouble. 
d. Take the medicine as prescribed and you are sure to see good results. 
e. Stop cheating during tests or you might get detention soon. 
f. Move to Miami and you’ll get a taste of what an endless vacation is. 

A) There is occurence of passive imperative. 
B) Special verb forms describe unreal events. 
C) The sentences mean the same as if-clauses. 
D) Emphatic imperative forms were employed.
💡 GABARITO  C  
đŸ§©đŸ” OpçÔes e armadilhas:
A) There is occurrence of passive imperative. ❌
Nenhuma das frases estĂĄ na voz passiva. Ex.: Shut up e Drop by sĂŁo imperativos ativos.
Pegadinha: confundir imperativos com passivos porque o sujeito nĂŁo Ă© explĂ­cito.
B) Special verb forms describe unreal events. ❌
Errado: nĂŁo hĂĄ verbos no modo subjuntivo ou condicional. As frases descrevem consequĂȘncias reais de açÔes futuras.
Pegadinha: confundir “might” (you might get in trouble) com irrealidade — aqui Ă© apenas possibilidade.
C) The sentences mean the same as if-clauses. ✅
Correto:
Ex.: Drop by one day and you’ll see… → equivalente a If you drop by one day, you’ll see…
Todas as frases apresentam condiçÔes implĂ­citas: “Se vocĂȘ fizer X, entĂŁo Y acontecerĂĄ”.
Pegadinha: Ă© fĂĄcil confundir o imperativo com simples ordem, mas o sentido real Ă© condicional.
D) Emphatic imperative forms were employed. ❌
Embora haja imperativos, nĂŁo sĂŁo formas enfĂĄticas como Do shut up!.
Pegadinha: o uso de imperativo comum pode enganar quem pensa que qualquer comando Ă© “emphatic”.

C) was visiting 
D) have visited
💡 GABARITO  B  
đŸ§©đŸ” Frase:
"If I had the time, I ________ the northern countries in Europe which are unknown to me."
Estrutura: condicional do tipo 2 (unreal present/future):
If + past simple, would + base verb
Exemplo: If I were rich, I would travel the world.
Alternativas:
A) had visited → passado perfeito, condicional tipo 3 (If I had had the time…), nĂŁo combina.
B) would visit → correto, segue a estrutura do condicional tipo 2.
C) was visiting → passado contĂ­nuo, nĂŁo condicional.
D) have visited → presente perfeito, nĂŁo condicional.
⚠️ Pegadinha:
O uso de had no “if” engana muitos alunos, que podem pensar que precisa de had visited, mas na condicional tipo 2 sĂł usamos o simple past no “if” e would + verbo base na segunda parte.
✅ Resposta correta: B) would visit

“I’m like...very busy” → hesitação e marca de oralidade (like).
“I mean” → reforço, redundĂąncia, marca de oralidade.
“I’m in the same boat” → expressĂŁo idiomĂĄtica mas usada como marcador de concordĂąncia oral.
Alternativas:

B) Formal speech signs → errado, o diĂĄlogo Ă© coloquial, informal.
C) Oral discourse markers → correto, pois indica palavras ou expressĂ”es usadas para organizar o discurso, marcar hesitação, pausa ou reforço.
D) Metaphorical expressions → sĂł se aplicaria a expressĂ”es figurativas, nĂŁo a pausas ou redundĂąncias.
⚠️ Pegadinha:
A presença de like, I mean, you know pode confundir quem pensa que são meras gírias ou expressÔes idiomåticas. Na verdade, são marcadores de discurso oral.
✅ Resposta correta: C) Oral discourse markers
