📝QUESTÕES DE MÚLTIPLA ESCOLHA
🔹15 Multiple Choice Questions | FOUR-Option Question |

❑ Questão 26 – Traditional views set the teachers’ task as the application of theory to practice, in more recent views teachers are seen to be both practitioners and theory builders (Prabhu 1992; Savignon 2007). 
Given the latter view of teachers, their knowledge of methods is beneficial because: 
A) They can aid teachers in bringing to conscious awareness the thinking that underlies their actions. B) A large, diverse repertoire of practices is sure to exempt them to take over deep theoretical supply. C) They ought not think about methods when planning lessons, and deciding how to fit instruction and context. 
D) Having command of the professional discourse that community members use enables their accomplishment. 
💡 GABARITO  A  
🧩“They can aid teachers in bringing to conscious awareness the thinking that underlies their actions.”
📘 Justificativa:
De acordo com a visão moderna apresentada (Prabhu 1992; Savignon 2007), os professores são teóricos e práticos ao mesmo tempo, o que significa que conhecer métodos não é só aplicar, mas refletir sobre o que fazem e por que fazem.
👉 O conhecimento de métodos ajuda o professor a tornar consciente a base teórica de suas próprias práticas.
❌ B)
“A large, diverse repertoire of practices is sure to exempt them to take over deep theoretical supply.”
🪤 Pegadinha: sugere que ter muitas práticas dispensa teoria, o que contradiz totalmente a ideia central do texto, que defende a integração entre teoria e prática, não a exclusão de uma pela outra.
❌ C)
“They ought not think about methods when planning lessons, and deciding how to fit instruction and context.”
🪤 Pegadinha: afirma que professores não devem pensar em métodos, o que é o oposto da visão defendida. O texto enfatiza que pensar sobre métodos é justamente o que torna o professor um “theory builder”.
❌ D)
“Having command of the professional discourse that community members use enables their accomplishment.”
🪤 Pegadinha semântica: parece positiva, mas o texto não fala sobre “discurso profissional” ou “comunidade de prática”. Ele foca na consciência e reflexão sobre a própria ação docente, não na comunicação com colegas.
✅ Resumo:
A) Correta → conhecimento de métodos → consciência teórica da prática.
B), C), D) incorretas → distorcem ou desviam da ideia de integração teoria–prática.

❑ Questão 27 – The didactic approach of knowledge aims at emphasizing the importance of giving proper treatment to the different contents that make up a teacher’s plan in order to equip his/her practice, as well as cover distinct categories integrating reality and understanding. Some kinds of contents cater to the active construction of capacities that operate with symbols, ideas, images, and representations that will allow the assignment of meaning to reality. From the least to the most complex perceptions, learning happens through a continuous process of coming and going, advancements and retreats upon which learners build tentative ideas, that are then amplified, modified, getting closer and closer to what is really accurate. The construction of some of these ideas might not be immediate, it will take them longer to be ready since hypothesis elaboration and original expression also rely on personal conditioning. The data offered refers to content which is: 
A) Practical. 
B) Attitudinal. 
C) Procedural. 
D) Conceptual.
💡 GABARITO  D  
🧩💡D) Conceptual
O texto fala sobre conteúdos que lidam com símbolos, ideias, imagens, representações e com o processo de atribuir significado à realidade.
📘 Justificativa:
Essas características correspondem exatamente aos conteúdos conceituais, que envolvem a construção de significados, elaboração de hipóteses e compreensão progressiva de ideias.
👉 O texto descreve como o aluno constrói conceitos gradualmente, por meio de avanços e retrocessos, até atingir uma compreensão mais precisa — o que define o aprendizado conceitual.
❌ A) Practical
🪤 Pegadinha:
Parece tentador porque fala de “equip his/her practice”, mas “practical content” (ou conteúdos práticos/procedimentais) estão relacionados a saber fazer (ações, técnicas, habilidades), não a ideias ou símbolos. O texto foca em representações mentais, não em prática manual ou aplicação direta.
❌ B) Attitudinal
🪤 Pegadinha:
Os conteúdos atitudinais envolvem valores, comportamentos, atitudes e posturas (como cooperação, responsabilidade, respeito).
➡️ O texto não fala de valores ou comportamentos, mas sim de elaboração cognitiva e simbólica, o que o distancia dessa categoria.
❌ C) Procedural
🪤 Pegadinha clássica:
Muitos confundem porque o texto menciona “processo de vir e voltar”, o que soa como “procedimento”.
Mas atenção: o processo descrito é cognitivo, não operacional.
👉 Procedural seria “como fazer”;
👉 Conceitual é “compreender o porquê” — que é o foco do texto.
✅ Resumo Final:
A) Practical → não é prática, é cognitiva.
B) Attitudinal → não trata de valores ou atitudes.
C) Procedural → não descreve procedimentos, mas construção de conceitos.
D) Conceptual → correto, pois trata de ideias, significados e representações.

❑ Questão 28 – Examine the image, and the meme it exhibits to indicate the fitting option.
🔹Got caught up with a new T.V. series. Now I have to wait a week between each episode.
🔗Available in: https://cheezburger.com/5815397632. Acessed: July 2024.) 
A) She was engaged in watching a series, and regrets it’s a weekly show. 
B) Due to her hectic pace of life she won’t have time to watch her series. 
C) She misses the chance of having some time off to do things but chores. 
D) Her favorite TV series is so moving she will have to take a week’s break.
💡 GABARITO  A  
🧩💬 Texto do meme:
“Got caught up with a new T.V. series. Now I have to wait a week between each episode.”
💡 GABARITO: 
A) ✅She was engaged in watching a series, and regrets it’s a weekly show.
🔹Correta → Ela estava envolvida em assistir a uma série e lamenta o fato de ela ser semanal.
📘 Justificativa:
🔹A expressão “got caught up with” significa “ficar envolvido / empolgado / viciado em algo”, neste caso, em uma nova série de TV.
🔹A segunda parte — “Now I have to wait a week between each episode” — mostra um tom de frustração ou arrependimento, porque a pessoa gostaria de continuar assistindo sem interrupções.
🔹Portanto, a alternativa A resume perfeitamente o sentido:
🔹Ela se envolveu com uma série e agora lamenta o fato de precisar esperar uma semana entre os episódios.
B) ❌Due to her hectic pace of life she won’t have time to watch her series.
🪤 Pegadinha:
Parece lógica à primeira vista, mas o texto não fala de falta de tempo nem de rotina ocupada — o problema é ter que esperar entre episódios, não não ter tempo para vê-los.
C) ❌She misses the chance of having some time off to do things but chores.
🪤 Pegadinha semântica:
Sugere que ela sente falta de tempo livre por causa de tarefas domésticas (“chores”), mas isso não aparece em nenhuma parte do texto.
O humor vem da impaciência, não do excesso de obrigações.
D) ❌Her favorite TV series is so moving she will have to take a week’s break.
🪤 Pegadinha de interpretação emocional:
Dá a entender que a série é emocionalmente intensa (“so moving”) e que ela precisa de uma pausa, mas no texto, a pausa é imposta pela programação semanal, não por emoção ou exaustão.
✅ Resumo final:
Alternativa Explicação Correta?
A✅ Envolvimento + frustração com espera semanal
B❌ Fala de falta de tempo — não mencionada
C❌ Fala de tarefas domésticas — irrelevante
D❌ Fala de emoção — não há isso no meme
👉 O humor da tirinha está justamente na situação irônica: a pessoa se empolga com uma série nova (binges), mas acaba arrependida porque agora tem que esperar uma semana por cada novo episódio, algo que frustra o comportamento de “maratonar”.

A Way Back From Campus Chaos 

Protesting the world’s wrongs has been a rite of passage for generations of American youth, buoyed by our strong laws protecting free speech and free assembly. 

Yet the students and other demonstrators disrupting college campuses this spring are being taught the wrong lesson – for as admirable as it can be to stand up for your beliefs, there are no guarantees that doing so will be without consequence. 

The highest calling of a university is to craft a culture of open inquiry, one where both free speech and academic freedom are held as ideals. 

Protest is part of that culture, and the issue on which so many of the current demonstrations are centered – U.S. involvement in the Israel-Hamas conflict – ought to be fiercely and regularly debated on college campuses. 

The constitutional right to free speech is the protection against government interference restricting speech. In the real world, though, this can get messy, and nuance is required when free speech comes into tension with protecting academic freedom. 

The earliest universities to adopt the principle of academic freedom did so to thwart interference and influence from totalitarian states and religious zealotry. 

Student codes of conduct and other guidelines are meant to relieve some of the tension between free speech and academic freedom, as well as to ensure that schools are in compliance with government regulations and laws. 

During the current demonstrations, a lack of accountability has helped produce a crisis. It has left some Jewish students feeling systematically harassed. It has deprived many students of access to parts of campus life. For years, right-wing Republicans, at the federal and state level, have found opportunities to crusade against academic freedom, with charges of antisemitism on campus serving as the latest vehicle. 

The House of Representatives used this moment of chaos as cover to begin a legislative effort to crack down on elite universities, and lawmakers in the House recently passed a proposal that would impose egregious government restrictions on free speech. 

Schools ought to be teaching their students that there is as much courage in listening as there is in speaking up. 

It has not gone unnoticed – on campuses but also by members of Congress and by the public writ large – that many of those who are now demanding the right to protest have previously sought to curtail the speech of those whom they declared hateful. 

Establishing a culture of openness and free expression is crucial to the mission of educational institutions. 

That includes clear guardrails on conduct and enforcement of those guardrails, regardless of the speaker or the topic. 

Doing so would not only help restore order on college campuses today but would also strengthen the cultural bedrock of higher education for generations to come.

❑ Questão 29 
A) Protesters’ behavior has been proven to be contradictory. 
B) Legislators ought to enforce students’ conduct guidelines.

Questão 30 After carrying out text reading, it is possible to infer the featured words highlight. 

The announcement of pandemic-related lockdown measures in March 2020 in the UK led to a wide-ranging series of measures in education as a whole to deal with the sudden changes in the learning environment. 

These included top-down policy directives and centralised toolkits, but arguably in language education the most effective responses were often bottom-up community initiatives. Language education was well placed to deal with some of the challenges in responding to the rapid move to online teaching through historical work in areas such as computer-assisted language learning (CALL) (Levy) dating back to the 1960s and more recent variants such as mobile-assisted language learning (MALL). There has been undeniably community-driven work in the school sector in particular in recent years, with the use of the #MFLTwitterati hashtag in part driving debate around the use of technology in language education on Twitter long before COVID-19 struck, and the TiLT (Technology in Language Teaching) webinar series, which began soon afterwards in March 2020. During the COVID-19 crisis, in a drive to support language teachers in moving to online teaching, experts at the Open University developed a free toolkit that could be downloaded, used, adapted and modified by ML practitioners which indeed made a difference. Social media was often a useful platform to provide help with teaching online (Rosell-Aguilar). 

Other examples include interdisciplinary discussions, such as the AMLUK Symposium on Modern Languages, Area Studies and Linguistics in 2021, which provided examples of the relationship and possible interdisciplinary links between research and pedagogy in Modern Languages, Area Studies and Linguistics. 

This symposium assuredly opened up constructive discussions about which teaching methodologies and strategies could support the internationalisation and decolonisation of our discipline.

Read the text to aswer 36 to 40. 
The enduring joy of Golden Girls: a wildly sassy sitcom that will always cheer you up A comedic masterclass with the best sitcom theme song of all time, Golden Girls pulled back the curtains on ageing and dealt with big-ticket issues. A zinger-infused maelstrom of shoulder pads, pastels and perms. Rattan furniture, DayGlo linen and Formica. There’s such a distinctive look, feel and vibe to The Golden Girls, the iconic sitcom that ran from 1985 to 1992, scooping up 68 Emmy nominations and 11 wins in the process. 

The brainchild of producer Susan Harris, the show spawned several acclaimed spinoffs and became an enduring work of high camp in the process. The premise? Three older women decide to live together: the stern, witty ex-teacher Dorothy Zbornak (Bea Arthur), the sweet but fantastically dense Rose Nylund (Betty White) and southern hornbag Blanche Devereaux (Rue McClanahan). At first it’s a matter of convenience, but before long, they become fast friends. During the pilot they’re joined by a fourth: Dorothy’s mother Sophia Petrillo (Estelle Getty), a nitpicky little shrew whose ability to cockblock our heroines saw her gradually become the Scrappy-Doo of the house. (Don’t @ me, Goldies, you know I’m right.) For a comedy that primarily took place within a Floridian kitchen, The Golden Girls boasted some serious talent. The four leads were all astoundingly adept at their craft. The golden girls themselves proved that the family you make is sometimes stronger than the one you’re born with. 

Dorothy, Rose and Blanche feel, at times, aged out of their previous lives. Careers, spouses, the world: all seem to be pushing them away. But the girls are proof that you can – and should – forge new bonds, even if it seems like your old life is done for. That you can make a new family, even if your old one rejects you. 

The Golden Girls pulled back the curtains on ageing, showing the ways in which old people can be flawed, passionate, monumentally stupid, brave – even at times, almost heroically horny. And it did so with an almost reckless willingness to be as wildly funny as it possibly could. The show ended up doing what many sitcoms do: use antagonism as heat to push the plot forward. It takes truly hack writers to defend needless antagonism as the only source of fuel to propel a story (I’m looking at you, post-Sorkin West Wing). 

The last two seasons of The Golden Girls aren’t terrible, but Sophia morphs from an old lady without boundaries to an ancient sociopathic prankster. But even with this odd acceleration towards a caricatured sitcom event horizon, the show still manages to roll out the hits. The two-part finale, written by Mitch Hurwitz (the creator of Arrested Development) and starring Leslie Nielsen as Dorothy’s love interest, ranks as some of the best in the show’s history. It also has – and I cannot stress this enough – the best sitcom theme song in the history of sitcom theme songs. In 2023, there are few things that will haul you out of whatever psychic muck you find yourself in than whacking on an episode of The Golden Girls. I promise you, once the credits roll, you’ll find yourself lying on the lanai in your mind, feeling somehow much lighter than you did before.

❑ TEXTO:
How AI Can Foster Creative Thinking in the Classroom and Beyond 
sponsored content from Adobe Express
“Como a IA pode fomentar o pensamento criativo na sala de aula e além dela.”
(conteúdo patrocinado pela Adobe Express) 
By Abbie Misha Sep 18, 2024 
🔹Beyond” não significa “depois” (como em “after”) — aqui quer dizer “além de / fora de”.
🔹“Foster” não é “forçar” (false friend), e sim estimular / promover.
🔹“Sponsored content” indica publicidade disfarçada de artigo informativo, e não um texto acadêmico neutro.

For many years, educators have envisioned personalized learning as a way to tailor education to each student's unique needs. 
🔹“Por muitos anos, educadores têm idealizado o aprendizado personalizado como uma forma de adaptar a educação às necessidades únicas de cada aluno.”
🔹"Personalized learning" - Expressão nominal - “aprendizado personalizado” → abordagem centrada no aluno
🔹O uso do Present Perfect (“have envisioned”) conecta o passado ao presente — algo que começou antes e ainda é válido ou discutido hoje.
🔹O verbo “to tailor” é muito usado em contextos de educação, negócios e tecnologia para significar “customizar” (tailor-made programs = programas feitos sob medida). Literalmente “fazer sob medida”; aqui significa adaptar / ajustar
🔹"As a way to" = estrutura fixa = “como uma forma de / com o objetivo de”.

With advances in artificial intelligence, this vision is becoming a reality. 
🔹“Com os avanços na inteligência artificial, essa visão está se tornando realidade.”
🔹"in artificial intelligence" = locução preposicional = especifica a área dos avanços → “na inteligência artificial”.

AI has the potential to transform classrooms by offering personalized learning experiences that align with individual strengths, interests and learning needs. 
🔹“A inteligência artificial tem o potencial de transformar as salas de aula, oferecendo experiências de aprendizagem personalizadas que se alinham às forças, interesses e necessidades de aprendizagem individuais.”
🔹"that align with" = oração relativa = “que se alinham com” — mostra correspondência ou adequação.
🔹"has the potential to" = “tem o potencial de” / “pode vir a”.
🔹"strengths" = pontos fortes, habilidades.
🔹"learning needs" = necessidades de aprendizagem.

At the same time, there is a growing emphasis on fostering creativity and authenticity in student work. 
🔹“Ao mesmo tempo, há uma ênfase crescente em promover a criatividade e a autenticidade nos trabalhos dos alunos.”
🔹At the same time = expressão adverbial de tempo/contraste = “Ao mesmo tempo” — conecta ideias (contrasta ou complementa).
🔹"a growing emphasis" = sintagma nominal = “uma ênfase crescente” = mostra aumento gradual.
🔹"on fostering" = preposição + gerúndio = “em promover / incentivar” — foco da ênfase.
🔹"in student work" = sintagma preposicional = indica o contexto — “nos trabalhos dos alunos” - trabalhos ou produções dos alunos.

AI can play a pivotal role in supporting the creative process, from generating ideas to refining projects. 
🔹“A inteligência artificial pode desempenhar um papel fundamental no apoio ao processo criativo, desde a geração de ideias até o aperfeiçoamento de projetos.”
🔹"a pivotal role" = sintagma nominal = “papel fundamental / crucial”.
🔹"generating ideas" = gerar ideias.
🔹"refining projects" = aprimorar projetos.

By making the creative process more explicit and accessible, AI empowers students to overcome obstacles and express their unique perspectives. 
🔹“Ao tornar o processo criativo mais explícito e acessível, a inteligência artificial capacita os alunos a superar obstáculos e expressar suas perspectivas únicas.”
🔹"By making" = preposição + gerúndio = indica meio ou instrumento: “ao tornar / através de tornar”.
🔹"empowers" = “capacita / dá poder a”.
🔹"to overcome obstacles" = infinitivo de finalidade = “superar obstáculos”.
🔹"unique perspectives" = perspectivas únicas / visões próprias.

This approach not only boosts engagement but also prepares students for a future where creative thinking and problem-solving are indispensable skills. 
🔹“Essa abordagem não apenas aumenta o engajamento, mas também prepara os alunos para um futuro em que o pensamento criativo e a resolução de problemas são habilidades indispensáveis.”
🔹This approach = “Essa abordagem” — refere-se à forma como a IA é usada na educação
🔹not only... but also = conjunção correlativa = estrutura de ênfase e adição (não apenas... mas também). Usada para dar ênfase a dois efeitos ou aspectos positivos.
🔹boosts = “impulsiona / aumenta”
🔹engagement = substantivo = “engajamento”, “envolvimento” (dos alunos)
🔹approach = abordagem, método
🔹boost = aumentar, impulsionar, estimular
🔹problem-solving = resolução de problemas
🔹indispensable = essencial, imprescindível
🔹 “not only… but also” = Usada para dar ênfase a dois efeitos ou aspectos positivos.

Recently, EdSurge spoke with Brian Johnsrud, the director of education learning and advocacy at Adobe, about using educational tools that not only harness the power of AI but also uphold the creative integrity of students and teachers. 
🔹“Recentemente, a EdSurge conversou com Brian Johnsrud, diretor de aprendizado e defesa educacional da Adobe, sobre o uso de ferramentas educacionais que não apenas aproveitam o poder da inteligência artificial, mas também preservam a integridade criativa de alunos e professores.”
🔹EdSurge = site de tecnologia educacional
🔹harness = aproveitar, canalizar (um recurso ou energia)
🔹uphold = sustentar, manter, preservar
🔹integrity = integridade, autenticidade
🔹advocacy = defesa, promoção de uma causa
🔹educational tools = ferramentas educacionais

He highlights how AI can help personalize learning by allowing students to present their understanding and ideas in diverse and individualized ways. 
🔹“Ele destaca como a inteligência artificial pode ajudar a personalizar o aprendizado, permitindo que os alunos apresentem sua compreensão e ideias de maneiras diversas e individualizadas.”
🔹highlight = destacar, ressaltar
🔹personalize learning = personalizar o aprendizado
🔹allow = permitir
🔹understanding = compreensão
🔹diverse = diversificado, variado
🔹individualized = individualizado, adaptado ao aluno.

This shift from standardized assignments to personalized projects can make learning more engaging and relevant for each student. 

EdSurge: How can educators safely and responsibly leverage AI for more personalized learning? 

Johnsrud: The dream of learning personalization has been around for decades. 

The first phase really focused on getting the right content to the right student at the right time. 

Now, with AI, we're in the second phase, which isn't just about personalizing content but also about how students present their understanding and share their knowledge. 

Because a hallmark of creativity is uniqueness. 

So if we want students to be doing creative thinking, then 30 assignments done by 30 different students should all look different. 

As for deploying AI safely and responsibly, schools are paying attention to a number of things right now. 

The first step is to check if the AI tool is actually designed for education specifically. 

If it wasn't made for the classroom, it probably wasn't made to improve learning. 

It won’t necessarily have those pedagogical pieces baked in or the accessibility and other edtech integrations that you need. 

Part of being designed for safety and responsibility includes ensuring that the tools don't train their models on student or teacher projects because the creative work you develop as a teacher or student in the classroom should be respected and protected. 

If you're using a tool that benefits or takes inspiration from your creative masterpiece, it's not truly aligned with core creative values and academic integrity. 

In what ways does AI help foster creativity while ensuring that student work remains authentic? 

AI can support any part of the creative process. 

If a student is stuck in brainstorming, AI can help generate multiple ideas. 

If another student is good at brainstorming but needs help refining their work, AI can act as a thought partner, providing critique. 

This is what's exciting about AI designed for creativity! It makes the steps of the creative process explicit and helps students overcome obstacles. 

It removes that fear of the blank canvas. 

I hope AI helps shift the focus from teachers being the content creators to students taking on that role. 

As an example inspired by my time as a social studies teacher, instead of asking students to write a paragraph about continuity and change in a historical era, you could have them choose an era, pick a topic that shows continuity, and design an imaginary propaganda poster from that period. 

The benefits of this creative assignment are clear to every educator. 

But with rigid standards and a packed curriculum, it's challenging to dedicate two weeks to it. 

The good news is, with AI, you could complete this assignment in just 30 minutes during class.

Interestingly, we crave authenticity more than ever in the age of AI. 

AI tools are moving beyond the basic prompt-and- -result, “grab and go” approach. 

They're becoming integrated into our creative workflows, allowing us to bring our best ideas to life and express ourselves more genuinely. 

The goal isn't for AI to do the work for us but to help us create more authentic, meaningful content so we can be impactful storytellers. 

As a teacher, you should be able to see each student's unique voice in the work they produce. 

How do AI literacy and creative thinking equip students for future job market demands? 

In just a few years, AI skills have become essential. 

The 2024 Work Trend Index Report found that percent of industry leaders wouldn't hire someone without AI skills. 

It's amazing how quickly this has become a hiring dealbreaker. 

In that same report, 71 percent of leaders said they're more likely to hire a less experienced candidate with AI skills than a more experienced candidate without them. 

For students, this means having AI skills can level the playing field with more seasoned professionals. At the same time, creativity and creative thinking are also in high demand. 

The World Economic Forum's 2023 Future of Jobs Report highlighted creative thinking as a top skill for the future. 

The creator economy is booming, with 200,000 new creative jobs created in the United States in 2023 alone. 

Students who can combine AI skills with creative problem-solving are able to seize some pretty incredible opportunities. 

Research has shown that the more students are able to create, the more they thrive. 

And AI opens up more opportunities for student creation. 

A 2019 Gallup report found that educators who focus on creativity and use technology in transformative ways see significant gains – students are more engaged, demonstrate better critical thinking, retain more, make connections between subjects and achieve deeper learning. 

For educators, seeing students excited and proud of their work is incredibly rewarding, especially in a time of increased teacher burnout. 

How can educators easily incorporate creative thinking into their lessons? 

Start by identifying areas in your curriculum where students need to dive deep into a concept or fully demonstrate their understanding. 

These are the moments where creative activities can replace traditional methods like note-taking or multiplechoice questions and garner a much wider and deeper set of learning outcomes.

❑ Questão 43 – In 2º§, which antecedent is the possessive adjective “their” referring to? 
A) AI. 
B) Students. 
C) Obstacles. 
D) Perspectives.
💡 GABARITO  B  
🧩Vamos analisar a frase do 2º parágrafo:

“By making the creative process more explicit and accessible, AI empowers students to overcome obstacles and express their unique perspectives.”
O possessivo “their” indica a quem pertencem as unique perspectives.
Os possíveis antecedentes:
AI → seria “its”, não “their”.
Students → faz sentido: são os alunos que têm perspectivas únicas. ✅
Obstacles → impossível, obstáculos não possuem perspectivas.
Perspectives → é o próprio substantivo possessivo, não antecedente.
✅ Conclusão: “their” refere-se a students.
Gabarito correto: B.

❑ Questão 44 – Which option below best describes what the students’ role in the learning process would be as suggested in the text? 
A) “[...] The learner has no control over the content of learning and is often regarded as likely to succumb to undesirable behaviors unless skillfully manipulated by the teacher. [...]” 
B) “Learners are viewed as organisms that can be directed by skilled training techniques to produce correct responses. [...] Learners play a reactive role by responding to stimuli, and thus have little control over the content, pace, or style of learning. They are not encouraged to initiate interaction, because this may lead to mistakes. [...]” 
C) “[...] The mental state of the learners is critical to success, which is why learners must forgo mind-altering substances and other distractions and immerse themselves in the procedures of the method. Learners must not try to figure out, manipulate, or study the material presented but must maintain a pseudo-passive state, in which the material rolls over and through them. [...]”. 
D) “The role of learner as negotiator – between the self, the learning process, and the object of learning – emerges from and interacts with the role of joint negotiator within the group and within the classroom procedures and activities which the group undertakes. The implication for the learner is that he should contribute as much as he gains, and thereby learn in an interdependent way.” 
💡 GABARITO  D  
🧩
A) ❌Descreve o aluno como totalmente passivo, sem controle sobre o aprendizado. → pegadinha: parece plausível, mas o texto enfatiza interatividade e autonomia.
B) ❌Reforça o aluno como reativo, respondendo a estímulos, sem autonomia. → pegadinha similar à A, também incorreta. 
C) ❌Descreve um estado pseudo-passivo extremo, sem iniciativa nem manipulação do conteúdo. → exagero da passividade; não corresponde à abordagem do texto que valoriza criatividade e participação. 
D) ✅Apresenta o aluno como negociador entre si, o processo de aprendizagem e o conteúdo, contribuindo e aprendendo de forma interdependente. → Isso corresponde à ideia do texto de aprendizagem ativa, participativa e colaborativa. 

❑ Questão 45 – Which word best substitutes the verb “leverage” in 4º§? 
A) Enjoy. 
B) Create. 
C) Exploit. 
D) Influence. 
💡 GABARITO  C  
🧩Vamos analisar a pegadinha de cada alternativa e justificar:
Contexto do 4º parágrafo:
“How can educators safely and responsibly leverage AI for more personalized learning?”
O verbo “leverage” aqui significa tirar proveito de algo para obter benefícios, especialmente de forma estratégica.
A) Enjoy → desfrutar
Não cabe aqui, porque a frase não fala sobre prazer ou apreciação. ❌
B) Create → criar
Não corresponde, já que não se trata de criar AI, mas de utilizá-la de forma eficaz. ❌
C) Exploit → explorar / tirar proveito
Correto. Substitui “leverage” mantendo o sentido de usar a IA estrategicamente para beneficiar a aprendizagem. ✅
D) Influence → influenciar
Não encaixa, pois o objetivo não é influenciar a AI, mas usá-la para personalizar o ensino. ❌

❑ Questão 46 – How can the sentence “This approach not only boosts engagement but also prepares students for a future where creative thinking and problem-solving are indispensable skills.” (2º§) be written without losing meaning? 
A) By boosting engagement, this approach may prepare students for a future where creative thinking and problem-solving are indispensable skills. 
B) Neither does this approach boost engagement nor prepare students for a future where creative thinking and problem-solving are indispensable skills. 
C) Besides boosting engagement, this approach also prepares students for a future where creative thinking and problem-solving are indispensable skills. 
D) This approach only boosts engagement but doesn't prepare students for a future where creative thinking and problemsolving are indispensable skills. 
💡 GABARITO  C  
🧩Vamos analisar a pegadinha de cada alternativa com base no trecho:
Trecho original:
“This approach not only boosts engagement but also prepares students for a future where creative thinking and problem-solving are indispensable skills.”
O padrão “not only … but also …” indica duas ações positivas e relacionadas.
A) By boosting engagement, this approach may prepare students…
O uso de may enfraquece a certeza do efeito; não mantém o sentido original de ação certa. ❌
B) Neither does this approach boost engagement nor prepare students…
Inverte totalmente o sentido, indicando que não há benefício algum. ❌
C) Besides boosting engagement, this approach also prepares students…
Mantém o sentido de duas ações positivas simultâneas. ✅
D) This approach only boosts engagement but doesn't prepare students…
Contradiz o original, dizendo que só há engajamento e não há preparo para o futuro. ❌
✅ Gabarito: C

❑ Questão 47 – The sentence “[...] if the AI tool is actually designed for education specifically.” (6º§) is an example of a sentence in the: 
A) Active Voice. 
B) Passive Voice. 
C) Past Perfect Tense. 
D) Present Perfect Tense. 
💡 GABARITO  B  
🧩Trecho:
“if the AI tool is actually designed for education specifically.”
1. Voz ativa vs. passiva:
Active Voice: o sujeito pratica a ação → “The teacher designs the AI tool.”
Passive Voice: o sujeito recebe a ação → “The AI tool is designed by the teacher.”
No trecho, “the AI tool is designed” → o sujeito (AI tool) recebe a ação (é projetado). ✅
2. Tempo verbal:
“is designed” = Simple Present na voz passiva, não é Present Perfect (has/have + past participle) nem Past Perfect (had + past participle).
✅ Conclusão:
Voz: Passive Voice
Tempo: Simple Present
💡 Gabarito correto: B

❑ Questão 48 – In 14º§, how can the sentence “Research has shown that the more students are able to create, the more they thrive.” be written without losing meaning?

B) Research has shown that when students are more creative, they tend to thrive less. 
C) Research has shown that students thrive more when they have the necessary skills to create more. D) Research has shown that students thrive more when they have the necessary skills to communicate. 
💡 GABARITO  C  
🧩Original:
🔹"[...] Research has shown that the more students are able to create, the more they thrive."
🔹“Pesquisas mostraram que quanto mais os alunos conseguem criar, mais eles prosperam.”
Passo 1 – Identificar o significado central:
🔹Quanto mais os estudantes criam, mais eles prosperam/desenvolvem-se.
🔹Estrutura de comparação proporcional: the more… the more… → traduzida como “quanto mais… mais…”.
Passo 2 – Comparar com as alternativas:
A) ❌“Research has shown that the more students thrive, the more they create.”
🔹Incorreta → Pesquisas mostram que quanto mais os alunos prosperam, mais criam.
🔹Inverte a relação: aqui prosperar leva a criar, o que muda o sentido original.
B) ❌“Research has shown that when students are more creative, they tend to thrive less.”
🔹Incorreta → “Pesquisas mostraram que, quando os alunos são mais criativos, eles tendem a prosperar menos.”
🔹Contradiz totalmente o sentido (“tend to thrive less”). 
🔹"thrive less" = prosperar menos, desenvolver-se menos.
C) ✅“Research has shown that students thrive more when they have the necessary skills to create more.”
🔹Correta → “Pesquisas mostraram que os alunos prosperam mais quando possuem as habilidades necessárias para criar mais.”
🔹Mantém a relação causal: mais criação → mais prosperar, acrescenta detalhe sobre habilidades necessárias → preserva o sentido.
D) ❌“Research has shown that students thrive more when they have the necessary skills to communicate.”
🔹Incorreta → “Pesquisas mostraram que os alunos prosperam mais quando possuem as habilidades necessárias para se comunicar.”
🔹Muda o foco de criação para comunicação → altera o sentido original

🧩Vamos analisar o uso do modal “should” na frase:
Frase:
“As a teacher, you should be able to see each student's unique voice in the work they produce.”
Passo 1 – Identificar o contexto:
O autor não está dando uma ordem ou obrigação estrita.
Também não é apenas um conselho geral ou sugestão.
Ele expressa uma expectativa realista sobre a função do professor: espera-se que ele consiga perceber a voz única dos alunos.
Passo 2 – Comparar com alternativas:
A) ❌Advice (Conselho) → “should” pode ser usado assim, mas aqui o contexto não é conselho pessoal, é sobre a função profissional.
B) ❌Obligation (Obrigação) → implicaria um dever rígido, o que não é o caso.
C) ❌Suggestion (Sugestão) → parecido com conselho, mas o texto trata de expectativa profissional. 
D) ✅Expectation (Expectativa) → adequado: indica o que se espera do professor.
