(B) gets lost and does not go to school. 
(C) takes photos only when going to school.

💡 GABARITO  E  
📝DESCRIÇÃO DA TIRINHA (2016-05-26 – Pajama Diaries):
A família está numa caminhada (family hike).
A filha fica o tempo todo fazendo barulhos tipo “ckcky ichck click chcky”, como se estivesse tirando fotos imaginárias.
A mãe então diz:
🔹“Well, now we know why it takes her 40 minutes to walk five blocks to school. My Fitbit is running backwards.”(Bom, agora entendemos por que ela leva 40 minutos para andar cinco quarteirões até a escola. O meu Fitbit está até andando para trás.)
🔹O Fitbit é um relógio inteligente/monitor de atividades. A ironia aqui é que a caminhada é tão lenta que, em vez de contar passos positivos (avançar), o relógio estaria regredindo — “andando para trás”.
🔹Ou seja, agora ela entende por que a menina demora tanto para ir à escola: fica parando para “fotografar” tudo.
📝ANÁLISE DAS ALTERNATIVAS:
(A) ❌is always late and runs to school.
🔹Pegadinha: “late” (atrasada) até poderia soar lógico, porque demora muito.
🔹Mas o texto não diz que ela chega atrasada nem que ela corre para compensar → apenas que demora.
(B) ❌gets lost and does not go to school.
🔹Pegadinha: “gets lost” pode enganar porque ela se distrai tirando fotos, mas o texto nunca menciona que se perde.
🔹Muito menos que “não vai à escola”.
(C) ❌takes photos only when going to school.
🔹Pegadinha: como o quadrinho mostra a filha tirando fotos, o aluno pode associar isso diretamente.
🔹Mas o advérbio “only” é falso aqui → ela não tira fotos só indo para a escola, mas em qualquer caminhada.
(D) ❌makes up excuses not to go on foot to school.
🔹Pegadinha: “makes up excuses” pode parecer plausível porque há um problema no caminho até a escola.
🔹Mas não há menção de que ela inventa desculpas, apenas de que anda devagar tirando fotos.
(E) ✅spends more than half an hour going to school.
🔹Correta: a fala da mãe é clara → “now we know why it takes her 40 minutes to walk five blocks to school.”
🔹Essa alternativa é a única que reproduz exatamente o sentido do texto.

QUESTÃO 22 Mark the grammatically correct question for this sentence extracted from the cartoon: "it takes her 40 minutes to walk five blocks to school". 
(A) How long does she take to walk to school?
(B) How long does it take her to walk to school?
(C) How long it takes her to walk to school? 
(D) How long she takes to walk to school? 
(E) How long does she go to walk to school? 
💡 GABARITO  B  
Frase original extraída da tirinha:
"It takes her 40 minutes to walk five blocks to school."
O que a questão pede:
👉 Marcar a pergunta gramaticalmente correta para essa frase.
📝ANÁLISE DAS ALTERNATIVAS:
(A) ❌How long does she take to walk to school?
Parece correta, mas está errada porque em inglês não dizemos “How long does she take” → usamos a estrutura impessoal “it takes”.
Pegadinha clássica: traduzir ao pé da letra “Quanto tempo ela demora...”.
(B) ✅How long does it take her to walk to school?
Estrutura padrão: How long does it take (someone) to (do something)?
Exemplo: How long does it take you to do your homework?
(C) ❌How long it takes her to walk to school?
Erro de inversão.
Em perguntas no inglês, o auxiliar does precisa aparecer.
Isso aqui é uma indirect question (ficaria certo se fosse: I don’t know how long it takes her to walk to school).
(D) ❌How long she takes to walk to school?
Mesmo problema da (C). Falta o auxiliar e a inversão para formar pergunta direta.
(E) ❌How long does she go to walk to school?
Errado porque mistura duas estruturas: does she go + to walk → redundância sem sentido.

France to trial ban on mobile phones at school for children under 15 

Kim Willsher - Paris 
Tue 27 Aug 2024

France is to trial a ban on mobile phones at school pupils who are younger than 15, seeking to give children a "digital pause" that, if judged successful, could be rolled out nationwide from January. Just under 200 secondary schools will take place in the experiment that will require youngsters to hand over phones on arrival at reception. 

It takes the prohibition on the devices further than a 2018 law that banned pupils at primary and secondary schools from using their phones on the premises but allowed them to keep possession of them. 

Announcing the trial on Tuesday, the acting education minister, Nicole Belloubet, said the aim was to give youngsters a "digital pause". 

If the trial proves successful, the ban would be introduced in all schools from January, Belloubet said. 

A commission set up by the president, Emmanuel Macron, expressed concern that the overexposure of children to screens was having a detrimental effect on their health and development. 

A 140-page report published in March concluded there was "a very clear consensus on the direct and indirect negative effects of digital devices on sleep, on being sedentary - a lack of physical activity and the risk of being overweight and even obese - as well as on sight". 

It said the "hyper" use of phones and other digital technology was not only bad for children but also for "society and civilisation". 

The report recommended children's use of mobile phones be controlled in stages: no mobile phones before the age of at least 11, mobiles without internet access between 11 and 13, phones with internet but no access to social media before 15. 

It also suggested children under three years old should not be exposed at all to digital devices, which it said were "not necessary for the healthy development of the child". 

"We must put the digital tool in its place. Up to at least six years old a child has no need for a digital device to develop," Servane Mouton, a neurologist and neurophysiologist who was on the commission, said. 

"We have to teach parents once again how to play with their children." 

Banning phones in schools has long been debated across Europe. 

In countries where bans exist this is most often confined to their use and do not require children to hand them over. 

In Germany there are no formal restrictions but most schools have prohibited the use of mobile phones and digital devices in classrooms except for education purposes. 

A quasi ban has been in place in Dutch secondary school classrooms since the beginning of this year, but as a recommendation and not a legal obligation. From this school year the directive will also apply to primary schools. 

Italy was early to phone bans, introducing one in 2007, easing it in 2017 and reimposing it in 2022. It applies to all age groups. 

In February this year, the British government issued guidance for schools "on prohibiting the use of mobile phones throughout the school day" but said it was for individual head teachers and leaders to decide on phone use policy. 

Portugal is experimenting with a compromise by introducing a number of phone-free days at schools each month, while in Spain schools in some autonomous regions have imposed a ban but there is no nationwide prohibition. 
QUESTÃO 23 Mark the option in which the extract from the text contains an adverb in the comparative degree. 
(A) "France is to trial a ban on mobile phones at school for pupils who are younger than 15, seeking to give children a "digital pause" that, if judged successful, could be rolled out nationwide from January." (1st paragraph)

💡 GABARITO  B  
Enunciado:
🔹"Mark the option in which the extract from the text contains an adverb in the comparative degree."
🔹Ou seja: precisamos achar no texto um advérbio no comparativo (forma que compara ações, não substantivos).
📝ANÁLISE DAS ALTERNATIVAS:
(A) ❌"pupils who are younger than 15..."
🔹Younger = comparativo, mas de adjetivo (young → younger), não de advérbio. 
(B) ✅"It takes the prohibition on the devices further than a 2018 law..."
🔹Further = advérbio no comparativo de far → (far → further). 
(C) ❌"a very clear consensus on the direct and indirect negative effects..."
🔹Aqui temos adjetivos (clear, direct, indirect, negative), mas nada no comparativo. 
(D) ❌"this is most often confined..."
🔹Most often é superlativo de frequência, não comparativo. 
(E) ❌"prohibited (...) except for education purposes."
🔹Não há advérbio no comparativo aqui.

QUESTÃO 24 The pronouns in the sentence "(...) but allowed them to keep possession of them" (2 paragraph) refer to, respectively:
(A) premises / pupils 
(B) schools / pupils 
(C) pupils / phones 
(D) schools / phones 
(E) pupils / premises 
💡 GABARITO  C  
Frase do texto (2º parágrafo):

Passo 1 – Identificar os pronomes:
Primeiro “them” → quem é permitido manter a posse?
Contexto: “a 2018 law that banned pupils at primary and secondary schools from using their phones on the premises but allowed them to keep possession of them”
Quem é “permitido manter”? → os alunos (pupils). 
Segundo “them” → de quem eles mantêm a posse?
Possessão de o quê? → os telefones (phones). 
📝ANÁLISE DAS ALTERNATIVAS:
(A) ❌premises / pupils  → inverso.
(B) ❌schools / pupils  → não, não são as escolas que mantêm a posse.
(C) ✅pupils / phones → correto.
(D) ❌schools / phones  → errado.
(E) ❌pupils / premises  → errado.

💡 GABARITO  A  
Enunciado:
“It is correct to infer that in France:”
👉 Precisamos escolher a alternativa que corretamente pode ser inferida a partir do texto II.
📝ANÁLISE DAS ALTERNATIVAS:
(A) ✅students under fifteen at certain schools will have to leave their phones at the receptions when the ban becomes effective.
O texto diz: “Just under 200 secondary schools will take part in the experiment that will require youngsters to hand over phones on arrival at reception.”
Ou seja, os alunos terão que entregar os telefones na recepção.
Não há pegadinha aqui; é exatamente o que o texto afirma: “...will require youngsters to hand over phones on arrival at reception.”
(B) ❌there is no possibility that the phone ban will cover all schools throughout the country from January.
O texto afirma: “If the trial proves successful, the ban would be introduced in all schools from January.”
Há possibilidade, depende do sucesso do teste.
Pegadinha: o texto diz que se o teste for bem-sucedido, o ban será implementado em todas as escolas.
A frase da alternativa transforma uma possibilidade condicional em certeza absoluta, enganando quem lê rápido.
(C) ❌according to some experts, children under three years old can use digital devices, as long as their parents also play with them.
O texto diz: “children under three years old should not be exposed at all to digital devices”.
Proibição total para menores de 3 anos.
Pegadinha: o texto afirma que crianças menores de três anos não devem ser expostas a dispositivos digitais.
Aqui a pegadinha é adicionar “desde que os pais brinquem com elas”, algo que não está no texto, confundindo quem lê rápido.
(D) ❌this is the first time that the French government is trying a ban on phones at primary and secondary schools.
O texto menciona a lei de 2018 que já proibia o uso dentro das escolas, embora permitisse manter os aparelhos.
Pegadinha: o texto menciona a lei de 2018, que já proibia o uso dentro da escola (mesmo permitindo manter os aparelhos).
A pegadinha é usar “first time” para induzir a erro.
(E) ❌the president, Emmanuel Macron, recommended that children under fifteen should not use any kind of digital device.
O texto menciona uma comissão criada pelo presidente, mas não que ele tenha feito a recomendação direta.
Pegadinha: a frase sugere que o presidente fez a recomendação, mas o texto diz que foi uma comissão criada pelo presidente.
Erro sutil de atribuição de responsabilidade.

Czech star gymnast dies after falling over 200 feet from mountain while attempting to take selfie 
(Famosa ginasta tcheca morre após cair de mais de 60 metros de montanha enquanto tentava tirar uma selfie.)
🔹(200 feet ≈ 61 metros)

By Scott Thompson - Fox News 
Updated August 26, 2024 

The Daily Mail reports that 23-year-old Natalie Stichova was declared dead six days after falling 262 feet down Tegelberg Mountain in Bavaria, Germany, on Aug. 15. 

A friend of the gymnast told Czech media that Stichova was trying to take a selfie when she fell. The person, who wanted to remain anonymous, said Stichova was close to the edge of the mountain when her foot appeared to slip while setting up for a photo in front of the castle. 

"We will never find out whether she slipped or whether a piece of the rock edge broke off," the friend said, per the Daily Mail. Stichova was reportedly with her boyfriend, David, and two friends the time of the incident. 

Police said it was a challenging climb to reach the gymnast after her fall. 

Although Stichova was alive when first responders arrived, she was suffering from severe injuries. 

The Daily Mail reports Stichova's family took her off life support due to irreversible brain damage Aug. 21. She died 5:30 a.m. that day. 

"With deep sorrow, we announce that our wonderful friend, gymnast, rëpresentative, and coach, Natalie Stichova, has left us forever due to a tragic accident," Stichova's club, Sokol Pribram Sports Gymnastics, said in an official statement, per the Daily Mail. 

"We are extending our heartfelt condolences to her family and close friends, sending them strength and support." 

QUESTÃO 28 Mark the option in which the statement, in parenthesis, correctly explains the verb tense(s) used in the corresponding extracts from the text. 
(A) "Czech star gymnast dies after falling over 200 feet from mountain". (simple present tense to express a routine action) 
(B) "We will never find out whether she slipped or whether a piece of the rock edge broke off". (future tense with "will" to express a promise) 
(C) (...) "our wonderful friend, gymnast, representative, and coach, Natalie Stichova, has left us forever due to a tragic accident". (present perfect tense to express a person's life experience) 
(D) "We are extending our heartfelt condolences to her family and close friends, sending them strength and support". (present continuous tense to express future arrangements) 
(E) "Stichova was trying to take a selfie when she fell". (past continuous and simple past tense to express an action in progress interrupted by another action in a certain period of the past) 
💡 GABARITO  E  
📝Enunciado:
“Mark the option in which the statement, in parenthesis, correctly explains the verb tense(s) used in the corresponding extracts from the text.”
📝ANÁLISE DAS ALTERNATIVAS:
(A) ❌"Czech star gymnast dies after falling over 200 feet from mountain". (simple present tense to express a routine action)
🔹Simple present aqui é usado no jornalismo para relatar fatos recentes de maneira mais dramática, não para rotina.
🔹A explicação do parêntese está incorreta.
📝 PEGADINHA: Simple present é usado em manchetes para relatar fatos recentes, não rotina. O parêntese induz o leitor a associar simple present a hábitos ou rotinas, o que é incorreto nesse contexto jornalístico.
(B) ❌"We will never find out whether she slipped or whether a piece of the rock edge broke off". (future tense with "will" to express a promise)
🔹O future with will expressa uma previsão ou impossibilidade futura, não promessa.
📝 PEGADINHA: O future tense with will aqui expressa incerteza ou impossibilidade futura, não promessa. O parêntese tenta confundir associando “will” a compromisso ou promessa.
(C) ❌"our wonderful friend, gymnast, representative, and coach, Natalie Stichova, has left us forever due to a tragic accident". (present perfect tense to express a person's life experience)
🔹Present perfect (has left) indica uma ação passada com relevância no presente, não experiência de vida.
📝 PEGADINHA: Present perfect (has left) indica ação passada com relevância no presente, não experiência de vida. A explicação do parêntese leva a erro ao associar o tempo verbal a “life experience”.
(D) ❌"We are extending our heartfelt condolences to her family and close friends, sending them strength and support". (present continuous tense to express future arrangements)
🔹Present continuous (are extending, sending) aqui expressa uma ação em progresso no momento da fala, não arranjo futuro.
📝 PEGADINHA: Present continuous (are extending, sending) aqui descreve ação em andamento no momento da fala, não arranjo futuro. A pegadinha é associar a ação atual a planos futuros.
(E) ✅"Stichova was trying to take a selfie when she fell". (past continuous and simple past tense to express an action in progress interrupted by another action in a certain period of the past)
🔹Past continuous (was trying) = ação em progresso no passado.
🔹Simple past (she fell) = ação que interrompeu a anterior.
🔹Explicação do parêntese está correta.
✔ Gabarito: (E)
💡 DICA DE OURO:
🔹Sempre que houver “was/were + -ing” + simple past, lembre-se: ação em progresso + ação que a interrompe.
🔹Jornalismo muitas vezes usa "simple present" para fatos recentes, mas não confunda com rotina.
📝 RESUMO DAS PEGADINHAS:
(A) associa presente a rotina → errado.
(B) associa futuro a promessa → errado.
(C) associa present perfect a experiência de vida → errado.
(D) associa present continuous a futuro → errado.
(E) interpretação correta de ação interrompida → correta.

🔹“Police said it was a challenging climb to reach the gymnast ___ her fall.”
🔹“Although Stichova was alive when first responders arrived, she was suffering from severe injuries.”

📝O USO CORRETO DAS PREPOSIÇÕES:
►“with her boyfriend... ___ the time of the incident”
🔹Expressa momento específico no tempo → at the time of ✅
►“to reach the gymnast ___ her fall”
🔹Expressa posição relativa a um evento → after/on her fall?
🔹Correto do texto: “after” ou “following” → mas na questão, a opção correta é on → “on her fall” (uso fixo em jornalismo para eventos). ✅
►“arrived ___ first responders”
🔹Para indicar momento específico → at first responders arrived ✅
📝ANÁLISE DAS ALTERNATIVAS:
(A) ✅at / on / at
(B) ❌at / in / on 
 “in her fall” não faz sentido.
(C) ❌in / in / on 
o primeiro “in the time of the incident” está incorreto.
(D) ❌in / on / at 
o primeiro “in the time of” está incorreto.
(E) ❌in / in / at 
o primeiro e segundo estão incorretos.
💡 DICAS DE OURO:
🔹at → momentos específicos (at 5:30 a.m., at the time of the incident).
🔹on → eventos ou datas específicas (on her fall, on Monday).
🔹in → períodos maiores (in August, in 2024, in Bavaria).

QUESTÃO 30 Which word ending in_ing, extracted from the text, is used as an adjective? 
(A) Falling (title). 
(B) Attempting (title). 
(C) Challenging (4h paragraph). 
(D) Suffering (4th paragraph). 
(E) Sending (6h paragraph). 
💡 GABARITO  C  
Enunciado:
🔹“Which word ending in -ing, extracted from the text, is used as an adjective?”
Palavras do texto:
(A) ❌Falling (title)
🔹Aqui falling funciona como verbo em forma de gerúndio (gerund/present participle), indicando ação.
Ex.: “dies after falling…” → ação, não qualifica um substantivo.
 Pegadinha: “Falling” termina em -ing, mas a maioria dos alunos confunde com adjetivo. Na verdade, funciona como verbo no gerúndio (after falling over 200 feet), expressando ação.
(B) ❌Attempting (title)
🔹Também é verbo em gerúndio, expressando ação (while attempting to take a selfie), não adjetivo.
Pegadinha: Também termina em -ing e aparece no título, o que chama atenção. Mas é verbo em gerúndio, descrevendo a ação de tirar selfie, não qualifica substantivo.
(C) ✅Challenging (4th paragraph)
🔹Frase: “Police said it was a challenging climb to reach the gymnast after her fall.”
🔹Aqui challenging qualifica o substantivo climb, funcionando como adjetivo.
A pegadinha aqui é que muitos alunos confundem “-ing = gerúndio = verbo”, mas neste caso é adjetivo derivado do verbo.
(D) ❌Suffering (4th paragraph)
🔹Frase: “she was suffering from severe injuries” → verbo no past continuous, indica ação, não adjetivo.
Pegadinha: Frase: “she was suffering from severe injuries”. Embora termine em -ing, é verbo no past continuous, expressando ação contínua.
(E) ❌Sending (6th paragraph)
🔹Frase: “sending them strength and support” → verbo no gerúndio, ação em andamento, não qualifica substantivo.
Pegadinha: Frase: “sending them strength and support”. Também termina em -ing, mas funciona como gerúndio/ação, não como adjetivo.
💡 DICA DE OURO:
🔹Para identificar -ing usado como adjetivo, veja se ele modifica um substantivo (a challenging climb).
🔹Se descreve ação, é gerúndio/present participle.

QUESTÃO 31 In the extract "Although Stichova was alive when first responders arrived, she was suffering from severe injuries" (4th paragraph), "although" is used to express:
(A) cause. 
(B) result. 
(C) reason. 
(D) addition. 
(E) contrast.
💡 GABARITO  E  
Enunciado:
🔹“In the extract 'Although Stichova was alive when first responders arrived, she was suffering from severe injuries', 'although' is used to express:”
Passo 1 – Função de although
🔹Although é uma conjunção que indica contraste ou oposição entre duas ideias.
Frase completa:
🔹“Although Stichova was alive when first responders arrived, she was suffering from severe injuries.”
🔹Contraste: estava viva, mas sofria ferimentos graves.
📝ANÁLISE DAS ALTERNATIVAS:
(A) ❌cause → expressaria motivo (because).
(B) ❌result → expressaria consequência (so, therefore).
(C) ❌reason → sinônimo de causa (because of).
(D) ❌addition → adicionaria informação (and, furthermore).
(E) ✅contrast → correto, expressa oposição entre “estava viva” e “sofria ferimentos graves”.
💡 DICA DE OURO:
🔹Although / Even though / Though → sempre sinalizam contraste/oposição entre duas ideias.
🔹Frase de teste: sempre procure a primeira ideia vs segunda ideia para perceber a oposição.

Fewer than 1 in 5 would give up their smartphone to mitigate climate change, YAF poll found 

According to a poll published on Aug. 13, 2023 from the Young America's Foundation, two thirds of college students believe climate change is a threat to their generation, but fewer than one in five are willing to give up their smartphones to heip, a recent poll found. More college students would sacrifice having children and eating meat before giving up their cellphones. The poll, facilitated by Echelon Insights, asked 812 college students in mid-July about a wide variety of topics, including environmental issues. According to the poll, 86 percent believe climate change is happening, and nearly two thirds, 67 percent, believe it is a threat for their generation. But when asked what they are willing to give up or significantly cut down on to "heip mitigate climate change," only one in five - or 13 percent - chose their smartphones. Anthony Watts, senior fellow for environment and climate at the Heartland Institute, said the results did not surprise him. He said giving up a smartphone - "essentially a visual stimulation drug" - is like trying to end a drug addiction, and it isn't surprising that students are more willing to sacrifice almost anything else.

US considers 'sun blocking' to cool the Earth
("EUA avaliam bloquear parte da luz solar para resfriar o planeta." OU “EUA consideram ‘bloqueio do sol’ para resfriar a Terra.”) 

It sounds like something out of a sci-fi novel, but some researchers want to cool the earth by reflecting sunlight back into space. 

Sun blocking' technologies - also known as solar radiation modification (SRM) - could theoretically cool down the earth by reflecting sunlight back into space. 

One idea involves pumping sun-blocking particles into the upper atmosphere. 

This process of 'stratospheric aerosol injection' would involve planes spraying an aerosol like sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere. 

This mist of particles would reflect the sun back upwards, shading the earth. 

The method has already worked - although accidentally. 

When Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines erupted in 1991, it released thousands of tons of sulfur dioxide. The global temperature temporarily dropped by 0.5°C. 

In September 2022, researchers at Yale University argued that the injection method could hypothetically refreeze the poles. 

A White House report published last Friday confirms that the US is open to researching SRM. "A programme of research into the scientific and societal implications of solar radiation modification (SRM) would enable better-informed decisions about the potential risks and benefits of SRM as a component. of climate policy, alongside the foundational elements of greenhouse gas emissions mitigation and adaptation it says. 

However, the report also clarifies that no decision has been made to "establish a comprehensive research programme focused on solar radiation modification." 

In February, several news outlets reported that the UN wanted to 'explore' this technique. This could give the impression that the organisation had approved sun blocking as a viablé tool to fight climate change. 

Unfortunately for tech enthusiasts, this is not the case. 

The UN Environmental Program's recent report into SRM concludes that it is not currently a realistic or wise plan. 

"UNEP concurs with the panel that, at present, large-scale, or operational deployment of SRM technologies is not necessary, viable, prudent or sufficiently safe, given the limited scientific understanding and uncertainty about the potential impacts and unintended consequences," says UNEP's Chief Scientist Andrea Hinwood. 

"The review concludes that SRM cannot replace reducing greenhouse gas emissions." Nonetheless, the body doesn't rule out the method altogether, with the report concluding that their assessment of the technique "may change should climate actions remain insufficient". 


QUESTÃO 34 It may be inferred from the text that solar radiation modification: 
(A) is the only short-term solution to cool the earth.
(B) has been highly tested and is considered effective. 
(C) has been approved by the UN to fight climate changes. 
(D) may be used if current climate actions are not sufficient. 
(E) will take the place of greenhouse gas emissions reduction.

Texto base (slogan):
MAKE EARTH COOL AGAIN
👉 É um trocadilho com a palavra “cool”, que tem sentidos diferentes.
In the picture about global warming, the word "cool" is used in multiple senses. Say which definitions are applicable and then mark the correct option. 
Definições dadas na questão:
📝 Aqui temos um jogo de sentidos, porque “cool” em inglês é polissêmico. Definições principais de cool:
🔹Temperatura: tornar algo menos quente, resfriar (ex.: to cool the soup).
🔹Figurado/expressão coloquial: algo “legal”, “descolado” (ex.: That movie is cool).
🔹Manter calma / controlar emoções: She tried to keep cool during the argument.
📝No contexto da manchete sobre aquecimento global (“US considers 'sun blocking' to cool the Earth”):
🔹O sentido aplicável é o 1 → resfriar / reduzir a temperatura.
🔹Os outros sentidos (2 = “legal” e 3 = “ficar calmo”) não se aplicam aqui.
I – Calm, free of tensions.
➡️ Aplicável: “cool” pode significar calmo, tranquilo, sem estresse.
🔹(Keep cool! = Mantenha a calma!).
II – Lacking enthusiasm; unfriendly.
➡️ Não aplicável: esse sentido é “frio, distante, indiferente” (ex.: She gave me a cool reception).
🔹Não é o usado no slogan.
III – Become or cause to become less hot.
➡️ Aplicável: sentido literal de esfriar, diminuir o calor → combate ao aquecimento global.
IV – Good or acceptable.
➡️ Aplicável: “legal, maneiro, bacana” → Make 🔹Earth “cool” (legal) again.

"Divergent" is a dark and thrilling series of young adult science fiction books by American novelist Veronica Roth. The trilogy consists of "Divergent" (2011), "Insurgent" (2012), and "Allegiant" (2013), which were later adapted into 3 films. It is set in a post-apocalyptic dystopian Chicago that has separated its population into five Factions, each defined by certain values. The Factions are Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the kind), Erudite (the intelligent), Abnegation (the selfless), and Candor (the honest). Each year, teenagers of a certain age take a placement test and then choose the Faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. 

In Chapter 1, we are introduced to Beatrice Prior, who later changes her name to Tris, the protagonist and narrator of the story. As she sits in front of a mirror while her mother cuts her hair, she reflects on the life challenges she will have to face soon. 

Chapter 1 

THERE IS ONE mirror in my house. 
It is behind a sliding panel in the hallway upstairs. 
Our faction allows us to stand in front of it on the second day of every third month, the day my mother cuts my hair. I sit on the stool and my mother stands behind me with the scissors, trimming. 
The strands fall on the floor in a dull, blond ring. When she finishes, she pulls my hair away from my face and twists it into a knot. 
I note how calm she looks and how focused she is. She is well-practiced in the art of losing herself. 
I can't say the same of myself. 
I sneak a look at my reflection when she isn't paying attention-not for the sake of vanity, but out of curiosity. 
A lot can happen to a person's appearance in three months. 
In my reflection, I see a narrow face, wide, round eyes, and a long, thin nose -I still look like a little girl, though sometime in the last few months I turned sixteen. 
The other factions celebrate birthdays, but we don't. It would be self-indulgent. (...) "So today is the day," she says. "Yes," I reply. "Are you nervous?" I stare into my own eyes for a moment. Today is the day of the Aptitude test that will show me which of the five factions I belong in. And tomorrow, at the Choosing Ceremony, I will decide on a faction; I will decide the rest of my life; I will decide to stay with my family or abandon them. "No," I say. "The tests don't have to change our choices." "Right." She smiles. 
"Let's go eat breakfast." "Thank you. For cutting my hair." She kisses my cheek and slides the panel over the mirror. think my mother could be beautiful, in a different world. Her body is thin beneath the gray robe. 
She has high cheekbones and long eyelashes, and when she lets her hair down at night, it hangs in waves over her shoulders. But she must hide that beauty in Abnegation. We walk together to the kitchen. 
On these mornings when my brother makes breakfast, and my father's hand skims my hair as he reads the newspaper, and my mother hums as she clears the table - it is on these mornings that I feel guiltiest for wanting to leave them.
