📝QUESTÕES DE MÚLTIPLA ESCOLHA
🔹20 Multiple Choice Questions | FIVE-Option Question |

❑ TEXTO:
How artificial intelligence is transforming the world 

Qualities of artificial intelligence 

Although there is no uniformly agreed upon definition, AI generally is thought to refer to “machines that respond to stimulation consistent with traditional responses from humans, given the human capacity for contemplation, judgment and intention.”

According to researchers Shubhendu and Vijay, these software systems “make decisions which normally require [a] human level of expertise” and help people anticipate problems or deal with issues as they come up.

As such, they operate in an intentional, intelligent, and adaptive manner.

Intentionality 

Artificial intelligence algorithms are designed to make decisions, often using real-time data. 

They are unlike passive machines that are capable only of mechanical or predetermined responses. 

Using sensors, digital data, or remote inputs, they combine information from a variety of different sources, analyse the material instantly, and act on the insights derived from those data. 

With massive improvements in storage systems, processing speeds, and analytic techniques, they are capable of tremendous sophistication in analysis and decision making. 

Artificial intelligence is already altering the questions for society, the economy, and governance.

Intelligence 

AI generally is undertaken in conjunction with machine learning and data world and raising important analytics.

Machine learning takes data and looks for underlying trends. 

If it spots something that is relevant for a practical problem, software designers can take that knowledge and use it to analyze specific issues. All that is required are data that are sufficiently robust that algorithms can discern useful patterns. 

Data can come in the form of digital information, satellite imagery, visual information, text, or unstructured data.

Adaptability

AI systems have the ability to learn and adapt as they make decisions. 

In the transportation area, for example, semi-autonomous vehicles have tools that let drivers and vehicles know about upcoming congestion, potholes, highway construction, or other possible traffic impediments. 

Vehicles can take advantage of the experience of other vehicles on the road, without human involvement, and the entire corpus of their achieved “experience” is immediately and fully transferable to other similarly configured vehicles. 

Their advanced algorithms, sensors, and cameras incorporate experience in current operations, and use dashboards and visual displays to present information in real time so human drivers are able to make sense of ongoing traffic and vehicular conditions. 

And in the case of fully autonomous vehicles, advanced systems can completely control the car or truck,and make all the navigational decisions.


21. Embora não haja uma definição uniformemente acertada a respeito da Inteligência Artificial, que ela se refere a 
a) machines which are not capable to analyse real b) machines that can never learn and adapt to all manners. 
c) machines that combine information originated only from the same type of source. 
d) machines that respond to stimulation consistent with traditional responses from humans.
e) machines that judge human and decide on their manners. 
💡 GABARITO  D  
🧩 🧠 Texto-base
“AI generally is thought to refer to ‘machines that respond to stimulation consistent with traditional responses from humans, given the human capacity for contemplation, judgment and intention’.”
💬 Pergunta
Embora não haja uma definição uniformemente acertada a respeito da Inteligência Artificial, que ela se refere a...
🔍 Análise das alternativas
(a) ❌machines which are not capable to analyse real
🔹O texto mostra o contrário: as máquinas são capazes de analisar dados em tempo real.
(b) ❌machines that can never learn and adapt to all manners.
🔹O texto afirma explicitamente que elas aprendem e se adaptam (“AI systems have the ability to learn and adapt as they make decisions.”).
(c) ❌machines that combine information originated only from the same type of source.
🔹O texto diz que elas combinam informações de uma variedade de fontes (“from a variety of different sources”).
(d) ✅machines that respond to stimulation consistent with traditional responses from humans.
🔹É uma reprodução quase literal da definição citada no texto — exatamente o conceito apresentado no primeiro parágrafo.
🔹Justificativa: a definição de IA apresentada no texto enfatiza que são máquinas que respondem a estímulos de forma consistente com as respostas humanas tradicionais, o que corresponde integralmente à alternativa (D).
(e) ❌machines that judge human and decide on their manners.
🔹A frase distorce o sentido — IA não julga humanos nem decide seu comportamento.

22. A Inteligência Artificial distingue-se de outras máquinas por desempenhar qual habilidade específica? 
a) Check data later, after some time it is asked to research.
b) Combine information from a variety of different sources and analyse the material instantly. 
c) Learn and adapt only to the same kind of question. 
d) Use sensors or remote inputs without human stimulation. 
e) Be capable only of mechanical or predetermined response. 
💡 GABARITO  B  
🧩 🧠 Trecho-chave
🔹"[...] Artificial intelligence algorithms are designed to make decisions, often using real-time data."
🔹They are unlike passive machines that are capable only of mechanical or predetermined responses.
🔹Using sensors, digital data, or remote inputs, they combine information from a variety of different sources, analyse the material instantly, and act on the insights derived from those data.”
💬 Pergunta
🔹A Inteligência Artificial distingue-se de outras máquinas por desempenhar qual habilidade específica?
🔍 Análise das alternativas
(a) ❌Check data later, after some time it is asked to research.
🔹O texto diz que a IA age em tempo real (“real-time data”), não “later”.
(b) ✅Combine information from a variety of different sources and analyse the material instantly.
🔹Essa alternativa reproduz exatamente a explicação central do texto: a IA combina informações de várias fontes e as analisa instantaneamente.
📘 Justificativa: A IA se distingue das máquinas comuns porque integra dados de múltiplas fontes e os analisa instantaneamente, permitindo respostas inteligentes e autônomas — conforme o texto descreve.
(c) ❌Learn and adapt only to the same kind of question.
🔹O  texto afirma que a IA aprende e se adapta constantemente, sem limitação a um único tipo de problema.
(d) ❌Use sensors or remote inputs without human stimulation.
🔹Parcialmente verdadeira, mas incompleta — o diferencial destacado pelo texto é o processamento e análise instantânea, não apenas o uso de sensores.
(e) ❌Be capable only of mechanical or predetermined response.
🔹Essa é justamente a característica das máquinas passivas, e não da IA.

23. A sentença “Artificial intelligence systems _________ presente simples mediante uso da forma verbal: 
a) to combine 
b) combined 
c) combining 
d) combines 
e) combine 
💡 GABARITO  E  
🧩 Vamos analisar a Questão 23 com atenção à gramática do presente simples em inglês.
🧩 Enunciado
A sentença “Artificial intelligence systems _________”
pede a forma verbal no presente simples.
💡 Regra gramatical
No Simple Present, o verbo fica no infinitivo sem “to” (forma base) para os sujeitos no plural ou I / you / we / they.
A forma com -s (como combines) é usada somente com sujeitos no singular (he / she / it).
🔍 Análise
O sujeito é “Artificial intelligence systems”, que está no plural.
Portanto, o verbo deve estar sem -s: → “combine”.
✅ Gabarito: E) combine
📘 Explicação:
✔ “Artificial intelligence systems combine information from a variety of sources.”
👉 Verbo no presente simples, sujeito plural, forma correta "combine".

24. Em qual grupo nominal a palavra destacada funciona como um modificador adjetival do substantivo núcleo na língua inglesa? 
a) Artificial intelligence
b) Human capacity. 
c) Ongoing traffic
d) Fully autonomous vehicles. 
e) All the navigational decisions.
💡 GABARITO  B  
🧩 Enunciado
🔹Em qual grupo nominal a palavra destacada funciona como modificador adjetival do substantivo núcleo na língua inglesa?
💡 O que é um modificador adjetival?
🔹Em inglês, é uma palavra (frequentemente um substantivo) que vem antes de outro substantivo para caracterizá-lo ou especificá-lo — funcionando como um adjetivo.
👉 Exemplo: chocolate cake → “bolo de chocolate”. (chocolate modifica cake.)
🔍 Análise das alternativas
a) ❌Artificial intelligence
→ “Artificial” é adjetivo, modificando “intelligence”.
🔹 Adjetivo puro, não substantivo adjetivado.
b) ✅Human capacity
→ “Human” é substantivo que aqui funciona como modificador adjetival de “capacity”.
Ou seja, é “capacidade humana”.
🔹 Função pedida na questão!
📘 Explicação:
🔹O substantivo “human” desempenha papel de modificador adjetival ao especificar o tipo de capacidade: capacity (of) humans → human capacity.
c) ❌Ongoing traffic
→ “Ongoing” é adjetivo, não substantivo.
d) ❌Fully autonomous vehicles
→ “Fully” é advérbio modificando “autonomous”, que é o adjetivo de “vehicles”.
e) ❌All the navigational decisions
→ “Navigational” é adjetivo derivado de substantivo, mas aqui já é um adjetivo lexicalizado, não um substantivo usado como adjetivo.

25. “Their advanced algorithms, sensors, and cameras incorporate experience in current operations, and use dashboards and visual displays to present information in real time so human drivers are able to make sense of ongoing traffic and vehicular conditions.”
O significado da expressão em destaque é mantido nas seguintes afirmações:
I. “…so human drivers are capable of making sense of ongoing traffic and vehicular conditions” 
II. “…so human drivers must make sense of ongoing traffic and vehicular conditions” 
III. “…so human drivers can make sense of ongoing traffic and vehicular conditions” 
IV. “…so human drivers mustn’t make sense of ongoing traffic and vehicular conditions”
Assinale a alternativa que apresenta 
a) I e II. 
b) II e III. 
c) III e IV. 
d) I e III. 
e) II e IV. 
💡 GABARITO  D  
🧩 Trecho original
🔹“…so human drivers are able to make sense of ongoing traffic and vehicular conditions.”
💬 Significado da expressão “be able to”
👉 “Be able to” = ser capaz de / ter a habilidade de
🔹É sinônimo do modal can ou de expressões como be capable of.
🔹Serve para indicar capacidade ou possibilidade real.
🔍 Análise das opções
I. ✅“…so human drivers are capable of making sense of …”
→ “Capable of” tem o mesmo sentido de “able to” = ser capaz de.
Mantém o significado original.
II. ❌“…so human drivers must make sense of …” 
→ “Must” expressa obrigação (dever), e não capacidade.
Muda o sentido.
III. ✅“…so human drivers can make sense of …” 
→ “Can” também indica capacidade ou possibilidade.
Equivalente em sentido a “are able to”.
IV. ❌“…so human drivers mustn’t make sense of …”
→ “Mustn’t” = não devem, ou seja, proibição, sentido oposto.
📘 Resumo da equivalência:
“are able to” = “are capable of” = “can”
→ Todos expressam capacidade ou possibilidade.

Confronting Our New Reality
Solutions to the problem of climate change have never been more clear. But the scale of the problem keeps getting bigger.
🔗Disponível em: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/25/climate/climate-change-environment-planet.html. Acesso em:24 de setembro de 2024.

26. Qual o tema principal tratado nesse artigo 
a) The problem of time as our new reality 
b) Solutions to the problem in New York 
c) The problem of climate change. 
d) The scale of the problem of time
e) New York getting bigger. 
💡 GABARITO  C  
🧩 🧩 Título e subtítulo do texto
Confronting Our New Reality
Solutions to the problem of climate change have never been more clear. But the scale of the problem keeps getting bigger.
🔍 Análise
🔹O subtítulo menciona “solutions to the problem of climate change” → ou seja, mudanças climáticas.
🔹O foco está no enfrentamento da crise climática e na dimensão crescente do problema.
🔹Nada indica que o texto fale de “time” (tempo) ou especificamente de Nova York — a referência “nytimes.com” é apenas o veículo de publicação (o The New York Times), e não o tema.
✅ Gabarito: C) The problem of climate change.
📘 Resumo:
🔹O artigo aborda as mudanças climáticas — reconhecendo que as soluções estão mais claras, mas a gravidade do problema aumenta continuamente.

27. A informação a respeito da escala do problema climático, abordada no texto, pode ser expressa em inglês da seguinte forma: 
a) the scale of the problem keeps increasing. 
b) the scale of the problem keeps decreasing. 
c) the scale of the problem keeps the same. 
d) the scale of the problem has come to an end. 
e) the scale of the problem keeps reducing.
💡 GABARITO  A  
🧩 🔹 Trecho do texto original:
“...the scale of the problem keeps getting bigger.”
👉 Significa literalmente:
“A escala do problema continua aumentando.”
✅ Alternativa A – the scale of the problem keeps increasing.
🔸 Correta.
“keeps increasing” = “continua aumentando”
Mesmo sentido de “keeps getting bigger”.
Expressão equivalente perfeita.
⚠️ Alternativa B – the scale of the problem keeps decreasing.
🔸 Pegadinha:
“decreasing” significa diminuindo — o oposto de “getting bigger”.
🚫 Investe o sentido da frase original.
🧠 Erro semântico (sentido contrário).
⚠️ Alternativa C – the scale of the problem keeps the same.
🔸 Pegadinha de estrutura:
A forma gramaticalmente incorreta (o certo seria “keeps the same size” ou “remains the same”).
Além disso, muda o sentido: indica que o problema não muda, o que contraria o texto.
⚙️ Erro gramatical e semântico.
⚠️ Alternativa D – the scale of the problem has come to an end.
🔸 Pegadinha de interpretação:
“has come to an end” = “chegou ao fim”.
O texto diz justamente o contrário: o problema continua crescendo, não acabou.
🚫 Erro de interpretação global.
⚠️ Alternativa E – the scale of the problem keeps reducing.
🔸 Pegadinha de vocabulário:
“reducing” = “reduzindo” → sinônimo de decreasing (ou seja, novamente o sentido inverso).
Muitos alunos associam “reduzir o problema” a algo positivo, mas o texto fala de agravamento.
🚫 Erro semântico disfarçado por vocabulário comum.
🎯 Resumo final
Alternativa Sentido Tipo de erro Correta?
A Continua aumentando
B Continua diminuindo Oposto
C Permanece igual Estrutural + semântico
D Chegou ao fim Interpretação
E Continua reduzindo Vocabulário (sinônimo errado)
💬 DICA PRÁTICA:
Sempre que vir “keeps + -ing”, pense em ação contínua. Depois, confira se o verbo está coerente com o contexto (increasing → crescer, decreasing → cair).

28. A primeira sentença do texto, “Solutions to the problem of climate change have never been so clear” apresenta uma afirmação sobre o problema da mudança climática no proferido tempo verbal:
a) simple present.
b) present continuous.
c) simple future.
d) present perfect.
e) simple past.
💡 GABARITO  D  
🧩 🔹 Trecho original:
🔹“Solutions to the problem of climate change have never been so clear.”
✅ 🅓 present perfect — Correta
🔹Estrutura: have + past participle → have been
🔹Uso: Expressa uma situação contínua até o presente, ou uma experiência (“nunca foram tão claras até agora”).
🔹"Have never been" = “nunca foram (até o momento)” → típico do present perfect.
🔹Portanto, a frase fala de algo que vem do passado até o presente — tempo verbal: PRESENT PERFECT.
🅐 ❌simple present — Pegadinha de aparência
Alguns alunos veem o verbo “have” e pensam em “ter” → “têm”.
🔹Mas aqui have é verbo auxiliar do present perfect, não verbo principal.
🔹Se fosse simple present, seria:
👉 “Solutions are clear.”
🚫 Erro: confusão entre verbo principal e auxiliar.
🅑 ❌present continuous — Pegadinha de forma
🔹O present continuous tem estrutura: am/is/are + verb-ing → ex: are being clear.
🔹A forma have been pode enganar, mas não é am/is/are.
🚫 Erro: confusão por causa de “been” (particípio de be).
 🅒 ❌simple future — Pegadinha semântica
🔹O simple future usa will + verb → ex: will be clear.
🔹A frase fala de uma situação presente, não de algo que ainda vai acontecer.
🚫 Erro de tempo: futuro em vez de presente/perfeito.
🅔 ❌simple past — Pegadinha de tradução
🔹Muitos associam “been” a “foi”, mas o uso de have indica presente perfeito, não passado simples.
🔹Se fosse simple past, seria:
👉 “Solutions were clear.”
🚫 Erro: confusão entre “have been” (present perfect) e “were” (simple past).
🎯 Resumo final
🅐 Simple present Confusão com “have” como verbo principal
🅑 Present continuous Falta estrutura “am/is/are + ing”
🅒 Simple future Usa “will”, mas o texto fala de presente
🅓 Present perfect Estrutura “have + past participle (been)”
🅔 Simple past Seria “were”, não “have been”
💬 Dica para lembrar:
🔹Sempre que vir “have/has + past participle”, pense imediatamente em Present Perfect — o tempo que conecta o passado ao presente.

❑ TEXTO:
🔗Disponível em: https://www.google.com. Acesso em: 15 de setembro de 2024.
 
29. No primeiro quadrinho da tirinha, o rato deseja saber sobre a ação do gato Garfield e questiona “What are you looking at?”. Em que tempo verbal está esse questionamento? 
a) Simple present. 
b) Present continuous. 
c) Present perfect. 
d) Simple past. 
e) Past perfect.  
💡 GABARITO  B  
🧩 🔹 Frase analisada:
“What are you looking at?”
✅ 🅑 Present continuous — Correta
Estrutura: am/is/are + verbo com -ing
👉 are looking → verbo look no gerúndio.
Uso: Ação em progresso no momento da fala — o rato pergunta o que Garfield está olhando agora.
🟢 Portanto, o tempo verbal é present continuous.
⚠️ 🅐 Simple present — Pegadinha da tradução
Muitos pensam que “What are you looking at?” significa “O que você olha?” (presente habitual).
Mas o are + ing indica uma ação em andamento, e não habitual.
🚫 Erro: confundir ação contínua com rotina.
⚠️ 🅒 Present perfect — Pegadinha da aparência
O present perfect tem a estrutura: have/has + past participle → ex: have looked.
Aqui temos are looking, sem have/has.
🚫 Erro: confusão com outro tempo composto.
⚠️ 🅓 Simple past — Pegadinha do sentido temporal
O simple past seria “What did you look at?” — indicando algo já terminado.
Mas o diálogo mostra uma ação acontecendo agora, não no passado.
🚫 Erro: confundir tempo presente com ação passada.
⚠️ 🅔 Past perfect — Pegadinha por excesso de complexidade
O past perfect usa had + past participle → ex: had looked.
Nada disso aparece na frase.
🚫 Erro: tempo verbal incompatível com a estrutura e o contexto.
🎯 Resumo final
Alternativa Tempo verbal Por que está errada/certa Correta?
🅐 Simple present Ação habitual, não em progresso
🅑 Present continuous “are looking” → ação em andamento
🅒 Present perfect Faltam “have/has + participle”
🅓 Simple past Seria “did look” → ação já terminada
🅔 Past perfect Seria “had looked” → estrutura ausente
💬 Dica prática:
Sempre que vir am/is/are + -ing, pense em present continuous — ação que está acontecendo agora, no momento da fala.

30. Na sentença “It’s where we, old folks, used to post our selfies”, a expressão linguística que indica que a ação foi realizada no tempo passado é
a) it’s.
b) where. 
c) folks.
d) used to.
e) selfies.
💡 GABARITO  D  
🧩 🔹 Frase analisada:
“It’s where we, old folks, used to post our selfies.”
✅ 🅓 used to — Correta
Estrutura e significado: used to + verbo base
👉 Indica uma ação habitual no passado que não ocorre mais.
Exemplo do texto: “used to post” → eles postavam selfies antigamente, mas não mais hoje.
🟢 Portanto, a expressão que marca o tempo passado é used to.
⚠️ 🅐 it’s — Pegadinha do “é/está”
it’s = it is → presente
Não indica passado, apenas situa a frase no tempo presente.
🚫 Erro: confundir sujeito do presente com passado.
⚠️ 🅑 where — Pegadinha de função gramatical
where → advérbio relativo de lugar
Apenas conecta “it” à ação, não indica tempo.
🚫 Erro: confundir conjunção de lugar com marcador temporal.
⚠️ 🅒 folks — Pegadinha de interpretação
folks = “pessoas” ou “gente” (informal)
Não tem relação com tempo verbal.
🚫 Erro: pensar que substantivo indica passado.
⚠️ 🅔 selfies — Pegadinha semântica
selfies = objeto da ação, substantivo plural moderno
Não indica tempo verbal.
🚫 Erro: confundir objeto da ação com marcador temporal.
🎯 Resumo final
Alternativa Função na frase Correta?
🅐 it’s verbo no presente
🅑 where advérbio relativo de lugar
🅒 folks substantivo informal
🅓 used to ação habitual no passado
🅔 selfies substantivo objeto
💬 Dica prática:
Sempre que ver “used to + verbo”, lembre-se: ação repetida no passado, não mais realizada atualmente.

31. Na sentença “It’s where we old folks used to post our selfies”, qual palavra é classificada, nas gramáticas, como pronome possessivo adjetivo?
a) Where.
b) We.
c) Old.
d) Folks.
e) Our. 
💡 GABARITO  E  
🧩 🔹 Frase analisada:
“It’s where we old folks used to post our selfies.”
✅ 🅔 our — Correta
Função gramatical: possessive adjective (pronome possessivo adjetivo)
👉 Indica posse, modificando o substantivo selfies.
Exemplo do texto: our selfies → nossas selfies
🟢 Portanto, “our” é o pronome possessivo adjetivo que mostra que as selfies pertencem ao grupo mencionado.
⚠️ 🅐 where — Pegadinha de função
where = advérbio relativo de lugar
Não indica posse.
🚫 Erro: confundir advérbio relativo com pronome possessivo.
⚠️ 🅑 we — Pegadinha de sujeito
we = pronome pessoal do caso reto
Representa o sujeito da ação, não posse.
🚫 Erro: confundir pronome pessoal com pronome possessivo.
⚠️ 🅒 old — Pegadinha de adjetivo qualificativo
old = adjetivo que qualifica folks
Não indica posse, apenas idade ou característica.
🚫 Erro: pensar que todo adjetivo é possessivo.
⚠️ 🅓 folks — Pegadinha de substantivo coletivo
folks = substantivo informal para “pessoas”
Não é pronome, nem possessivo.
🚫 Erro: confundir substantivo coletivo com pronome adjetivo.
🎯 Resumo final
Alternativa Função na frase Correta?
🅐 where advérbio relativo de lugar
🅑 we pronome pessoal sujeito
🅒 old adjetivo qualificativo
🅓 folks substantivo coletivo
🅔 our pronome possessivo adjetivo
💬 Dica prática:
Sempre que um pronome modifica um substantivo indicando posse, ele é um possessive adjective (my, your, his, her, its, our, their).

32. Na língua inglesa, o caso genitivo consiste em uma das formas de expressar a posse ou procedência. No caso dessa tirinha, qual a forma de genitivo para dizer “as selfies antigas do Garfield”?
a) Garfield’s selfies old. 
b) Garfield’s selfies’s old. 
c) Garfield old’s selfies. 
d) Garfield’s old’s selfies. 
e) Garfield’s old selfies.
💡 GABARITO  E  
🧩 🔹 Objetivo:
Expressar em inglês: “as selfies antigas do Garfield” usando o genitivo (posse) corretamente.
✅ 🅔 Garfield’s old selfies — Correta
Garfield’s → forma do genitivo (’s) indicando posse → “do Garfield”.
old → adjetivo qualificativo → “antigas”.
selfies → substantivo núcleo → “selfies”.
Ordem correta em inglês: [Possuidor]’s + [adjetivo] + [substantivo]
Exemplo:
Garfield’s old selfies = as selfies antigas do Garfield
⚠️ 🅐 Garfield’s selfies old — Pegadinha de posição do adjetivo
Em inglês, adjetivo vem antes do substantivo.
selfies old está invertido.
🚫 Erro: adjetivo colocado depois do substantivo (ordem típica do português, mas não do inglês).
⚠️ 🅑 Garfield’s selfies’s old — Pegadinha de duplicação do genitivo
selfies’s = forma errada do genitivo (não se aplica aqui, pois selfies não possui outra posse).
🚫 Erro: tentar colocar dois ’s, o que não é necessário.
⚠️ 🅒 Garfield old’s selfies — Pegadinha de aplicar genitivo no adjetivo
old’s = incorreto, pois adjetivos não recebem ’s.
🚫 Erro: confundir quem possui com a característica (adjetivo).
⚠️ 🅓 Garfield’s old’s selfies — Pegadinha combinada
Dupla tentativa incorreta: aplicar genitivo no adjetivo old.
🚫 Erro: só o possuidor (Garfield) deve receber o ’s.
🎯 Resumo final
Alternativa Forma Correta?
🅐 Garfield’s selfies old substantivo + adjetivo (inversão)
🅑 Garfield’s selfies’s old genitivo duplicado
🅒 Garfield old’s selfies genitivo aplicado ao adjetivo
🅓 Garfield’s old’s selfies genitivo aplicado ao adjetivo + duplicação
🅔 Garfield’s old selfies genitivo correto + adjetivo + substantivo
💬 Dica prática:
No inglês, possuidor + ’s vem sempre antes do substantivo que ele possui, e o adjetivo vem entre o genitivo e o substantivo.
Fórmula: [Possuidor]’s + [adjetivo] + [substantivo]

33. Qual sentença se encontra no present perfect tense?
a) I have to admit.
b) Your place is really nice.
c) One thing puzzles me.
d) I’ve looked all over.
e) Where do you keep it?
💡 GABARITO  D  
🧩 🔹 Objetivo:
Identificar a sentença que está no present perfect tense (presente perfeito).
✅ 🅓 I’ve looked all over — Correta
I’ve looked = I have looked → estrutura do present perfect:
have/has + past participle
Indica ação passada com relevância no presente.
Ex.: I’ve looked all over (e ainda estou procurando ou o resultado importa agora).
⚠️ 🅐 I have to admit — Pegadinha de “have”
have aqui não é auxiliar do present perfect, mas parte de have to (ter que) → expressão de obrigação.
🚫 Não é present perfect.
⚠️ 🅑 Your place is really nice — Pegadinha de confundir tempo do verbo “is”
is = presente simples do verbo to be.
🚫 Não é present perfect.
⚠️ 🅒 One thing puzzles me — Pegadinha de confundir “puzzles” com present perfect
puzzles = presente simples do verbo puzzle.
🚫 Não é present perfect.
⚠️ 🅔 Where do you keep it? — Pegadinha de confundir estrutura interrogativa com present perfect
do you keep = presente simples em forma interrogativa.
🚫 Não é present perfect.
💬 Dica prática:
O present perfect sempre combina have/has + particípio passado e indica ação passada com ligação ao presente.

34. Ao indagar o gato sobre a caixa, o cachorro faz a pergunta “Where do you keep it?”. O que essa pergunta revela no tempo verbal empregado na sua construção?
a) A past habit occurred some days before they met
b) An action that would happen one day.
c) A present habit in his daily life.
d) An action that has started in the past and has not finished yet
e) An action that will happen in the future
💡 GABARITO  C  
🧩 🔹 Pergunta:
"Where do you keep it?"
Queremos identificar o tempo verbal e o tipo de ação.
✅ 🅒 A present habit in his daily life — Correta
Estrutura: do + subject + base verb → simple present (presente simples)
Usado para hábitos, rotinas e fatos gerais.
Aqui, o cachorro pergunta sobre algo que o gato mantém regularmente, ou seja, uma ação habitual no presente.
Ex.: Where do you keep it? → Onde você normalmente guarda isso?
⚠️ Pegadinhas das outras alternativas:
🅐 A past habit occurred some days before they met → Confunde presente simples com past simple. Aqui não há referência temporal passada.
🅑 An action that would happen one day → Confunde presente simples com future conditional. Não há condição nem futuro.
🅓 An action that has started in the past and has not finished yet → Confunde presente simples com present perfect. Não é present perfect aqui.
🅔 An action that will happen in the future → Confunde presente simples com future simple. Não há futuro expressado.
💡 Dica prática:
O simple present em perguntas com do/does quase sempre indica hábitos ou fatos gerais, não ações passadas ou futuras.

35. Qual sentença apresenta o mesmo significado da sentença “You’relying in it”?
a) The dog hasn’t lied in it.
b) The dog lied in it the day before the moment of speaking.
c) The dog will lie in it later.
d) The dog would lie in it one day in the future.
e) The dog is lying in it at the moment of speaking.
💡 GABARITO  E  
🧩 🔹 Sentença original:
"You’re lying in it"
Estrutura: are + verb-ing → present continuous
Usado para ações acontecendo no momento da fala.
Tradução: Você está deitado/mentindo nisso neste exato momento.
✅ 🅔 The dog is lying in it at the moment of speaking — Correta
Mantém tempo presente contínuo (is lying).
Mantém a ação acontecendo agora (at the moment of speaking).
⚠️ Pegadinhas das outras alternativas:
🅐 The dog hasn’t lied in it → present perfect negative. Não é ação contínua no momento.
🅑 The dog lied in it the day before the moment of speaking → past simple, ação concluída.
🅒 The dog will lie in it later → future simple, ainda não aconteceu.
🅓 The dog would lie in it one day in the future → conditional/future in the past, totalmente diferente do presente contínuo.
💡 Dica prática:
Se a frase tem “be + verb-ing”, pense ação acontecendo agora. Isso geralmente indica present continuous.

Planet's ocean-plastics problem detailed in 60-year data set
Problema dos plásticos oceânicos do planeta detalhado em conjunto de dados com 60 anos

Researchers find evidence of rising plastic pollution in an accidental source: log books for planktonmonitoring instruments.
Pesquisadores encontram evidências do aumento da poluição plástica em uma fonte acidental: livros de registro para instrumentos de monitoramento de plâncton. 
  • Matthew Warren
[1º Parágrafo]
Scientists have uncovered the first strong evidence that the amount of plastic polluting the oceans has risen vastly in recent decades — by analysing 60 years of log books for plankton-tracking vessels.

Data recorded by instruments known as continuous plankton recorders (CPRs) — which ships have collectively towed millions of kilometres across the Atlantic Ocean — show that the trackers have become entangled in large plastic objects, such as bags and fishing lines, roughly three times more often since 2000 than in preceding decades.

[2º Parágrafo]
This is the first time that researchers have demonstrated the rise in ocean plastics using a single, longterm data set, says Erik van Sebille, an oceanographer at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. "I'm excited that this has been finally done,” he says. The analysis was published on 16 April in Nature Communications.

[3º Parágrafo]
Although the findings are unsurprising, long-term data on ocean plastics had been scant: previous studies looked mainly at the ingestion of plastic by sea creatures over shorter timescales, the researchers say.

Fishing for data

[4º Parágrafo]
CPRs are torpedo-like devices that have been used since 1931 to survey plankton populations, by filtering the organisms from the water using bands of silk. Today, volunteer ships such as ferries and container ships tow a fleet of CPRs around the world’s oceans.

[5º Parágrafo]
(…) Each time a ship tows a CPR, the crew fills in a log book and notes any problems with the device. So Ostle and her colleagues looked through all tow logs from the North Atlantic between 1957 and 2016, to determine whether plastic entanglements have become more common.

Evidence analysis

[6º Parágrafo]
(…)Van Sebille says that because the study focused on large plastic items, it doesn’t reveal much about the quantity of microplastics — fragments fewer than 5 millimetres long — in the oceans.

These tiny contaminants come from sources such as disposable plastic packaging, rather than from fishing gear.

[7º Parágrafo]
Nevertheless, he adds, the study demonstrates that fisheries play a major part in plastic pollution, and will provide useful baseline data for tracking whether policy changes affect the levels of plastic in the oceans. “As fisheries become more professional, especially in the North Sea, hopefully we might see a decrease,” he says.

Smiling Can Actually Make People Happier, Study Finds
Estudo descobre que sorrir pode realmente tornar as pessoas mais felizes

Researchers of a new study find that the simple act __(1)__ smiling can actually make a person happier.
Evidently, nearly 50 years of data shows facial expressions can affect an individual’s emotions or feelings.

Emotional Debate

For over 100 years, psychologists have been debating whether facial expressions can affect emotions. The argument became even more pronounced 
__(2)__ 2016 after 17 teams of scientists failed to replicate a popular experiment that would supposedly show that smiling can actually make people happier.

While there are some studies that do not show a relationship 
__(3)__ facial expressions and emotional feelings, the researchers of the new study believe that they can’t focus on the data from just one. As such, they scoured data from 138 studies, which tested over 11,000 participants __(4)__ all over the world.

“But we can’t focus on the results of any one study. Psychologists have been testing this idea since the early 1970s, so we wanted to look at all the evidence,” said lead researcher Nicholas Coles, PhD.

Facial Expressions Affect People's Emotions

Based on the team’s meta-analysis, facial expressions do, in fact, have a small impact on emotions. For instance, a person who smiles will feel happier, a person who scowls will feel angrier, and a person who frowns will feel sadder. While the effects aren’t very powerful or long-lasting, it is significant enough to show a correlation.

According to researchers, their findings bring us closer to understanding how human emotions work and how the mind and body work together to shape how we experience emotions. That said, they do note that they are not saying that people can just smile their way to happiness, especially when it comes to mental health conditions such as depression.
The study is published in Psychological Bulletin.

 TEXTO 3: Read text 3 and answer questions 16 to 19 according to it.

What is Alzheimer’s disease?

There are many types and causes of dementia, but Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form, accounting for between 60 and 70 per cent of all cases.
Common early symptoms of Alzheimer’s include short-term memory loss, apathy and depressed mood, but these symptoms are often just seen as being a part of normal ageing, making early diagnosis difficult.
Doctors diagnose Alzheimer’s on the basis of medical examination, patient history and cognitive tests,
and can use imaging to rule out other forms of dementia. However, a definitive diagnosis of Alzheimer’s is only possible after death, when examination of brain tissue can reveal whether a person had the deposits of amyloid and tau proteins that are characteristic of the condition.
16  Considering the text above, Alzheimer’s disease has only a definitive diagnosis when
a) it causes problems with thinking and behavior.
b) it accounts sixty percent to eighty percent of old age population.
c) it develops fast and gets worse over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with daily tasks.
d) an analyse of the brain tissue made through the deposits of the amyloid and tau proteins after people die.
e) the deposits of amyloid and tau accumulate in the brain tissue for one decade.
•   Gabarito  D

Our youngsters spend hours on Instagram chasing "likes" - and often coming up against cyber-bullying - or playing games, obsessing about YouTube influencers or surfing between different "friendship groups" on WhatsApp.
Os nossos jovens passam horas no Instagram à procura de "likes" — e muitas vezes enfrentando cyberbullying — ou jogando, obcecados por influenciadores do YouTube ou navegando entre diferentes "grupos de amigos" no WhatsApp.

So how can we keep them safe from harmful content?
Então, como podemos mantê-los protegidos de conteúdos prejudiciais?

Content filtering software has been around for many years, but parents have often been too tech-shy to work it properly. 
O software de filtragem de conteúdo existe há muitos anos, mas os pais costumam ser muito tímidos com a tecnologia para trabalhar corretamente. 

And it often required children to hand over their passwords - a potential cause of family rows.
E muitas vezes exigiu que as crianças entregassem suas senhas - uma causa potencial de brigas familiares.

But now a new generation of digital parental controls has arrived on the market, promising to help parents take back control more easily.
Mas agora uma nova geração de controles parentais digitais chegou ao mercado, prometendo ajudar os pais a recuperar o controle mais facilmente.
  • UK plans social media and internet watchdog
  • O Reino Unido planeja monitorar as mídias sociais e a internet

Circle with Disney, Koala Safe e Ikydz, por exemplo, são sistemas que afirmam ser capazes de controlar todos os dispositivos digitais em sua casa com alguns toques em um aplicativo de smartphone. uso, mas é?

The new products work by connecting to your existing household wi-fi router. 
Os novos produtos funcionam conectando-se ao seu router Wi-Fi doméstico.

In the case of Circle you plug in the white cube - clearly inspired by the Apple school of design - and it immediately lists every connected phone, laptop, tablet, and so on in your home, and offers a variety of ways to control them. (…)
No caso do Circle, liga o cubo branco – claramente inspirado na escola de design da Apple – e este lista imediatamente todos os telemóveis, computadores portáteis, tablets e outros dispositivos ligados em sua casa, oferecendo diversas formas de os controlar.

(…) Anne Longfield, the Children's Commissioner for England, thinks it is good parenting to set limits.
Anne Longfield, a Comissária para as Crianças da Inglaterra, acha que é bom estabelecer limites.

"The internet can be a great resource, but it can also be the wild west for children. We wouldn't think it was OK to drop our children off in the park at night if they were younger," she says.
"A internet pode ser um ótimo recurso, mas também pode ser o velho oeste para as crianças. Não acharíamos aceitável deixar os nossos filhos no parque à noite se fossem mais pequenos", diz ela.

"In the same way we shouldn't think it is OK for them to roam the internet without any guidance or restrictions."
"Da mesma forma, não devemos pensar que é aceitável que naveguem na internet sem qualquer orientação ou restrição."

There are disadvantages with these latest filtering devices, though. 
Há desvantagens com esses dispositivos de filtragem mais recentes, no entanto.

Some don't work once your child's phone leaves the home and is no longer on home wi-fi. 
Alguns não funcionam uma vez que o telefone do seu filho deixa a casa e não está mais em casa wi-fi.

And they won't all work if the wi-fi is switched off and the internet is accessed via mobile data. 
E nem todos funcionarão se o wi-fi estiver desligado e a internet for acessada através de dados móveis.

Other products are also incompatible with some UK routers.
