❑ Questão 31
According to literary theorist Kenneth Burke, humans are symbols-based species. People have naturally responded to symbolism in
their quest for identity as well as survival because symbols induce cooperation and communication. Being so, choose the ability that
can be specifically related to the image below:
🔗(Available In: https://www.easel.ly/blog/how-to-make-pictograms.)
A) Recognizing the new digital genres and new forms of writing.
B) Debating English expansion worldwide in its historical context.
C) Using rebbutals and arguments in order to defend standpoints.
D) Examining the role of English in scientific and political exchange.
💡 GABARITO A
🧩TEXTO BASE:
🔹Kenneth Burke afirma que os humanos são uma espécie baseada em símbolos.
➡️ Os símbolos servem para comunicação e cooperação.
➡️ As pessoas naturalmente respondem ao simbolismo na busca por identidade e sobrevivência.
➡️ A imagem (citada como pictogram) representa linguagem visual ou simbólica, algo muito usado em ambientes digitais e multimodais.
🟨 ANÁLISE DAS ALTERNATIVAS:
A) ✅Recognizing the new digital genres and new forms of writing.
🔹Tradução: Reconhecer os novos gêneros digitais e novas formas de escrita.
🔹Por que está correta: O texto fala sobre símbolos e pictogramas, que fazem parte das novas formas de comunicação digital (emoticons, emojis, ícones, infográficos etc.).
🔹Isso se encaixa diretamente com a ideia de “new digital genres and new forms of writing”, pois envolve leitura multimodal (texto + imagem).
💡 Palavra-chave: pictogram → representação simbólica → forma moderna de escrita visual.
B) ❌Debating English expansion worldwide in its historical context.
🔹Tradução: Debater a expansão do inglês no mundo em seu contexto histórico.
Pegadinha:
🔹Parece acadêmica e coerente, mas o texto não fala de inglês, colonialismo, nem história da língua.
Está fora do escopo simbólico/digital.
C) ❌Using rebuttals and arguments in order to defend standpoints.
🔹Tradução: Usar refutações e argumentos para defender pontos de vista.
🔹Pegadinha: Essa alternativa remete à competência argumentativa (debate, ensaio, discurso).
🔹Mas a questão fala de símbolos e pictogramas, não de debate ou retórica.
🔹Tenta enganar por soar “intelectual” e relacionada à linguagem.
D) ❌Examining the role of English in scientific and political exchange.
🔹Tradução: Examinar o papel do inglês nas trocas científicas e políticas.
🔹Pegadinha: Parece plausível em uma prova de inglês, mas o texto fala de símbolos universais, não da língua inglesa.
🔹“Scientific and political exchange” é completamente fora do contexto de pictograms e symbolic communication.
❑ Questão 32
Regarding the information provided by meme’s verbal language in the featured image, it is consistent that:
THOUGHT - THROUGH - THROUGHOUT - THOUGHT - THOROUGH - TOUGH
🔗(Available In: https://languagetool.org.)
A) The words differ in pronunciation, meaning, spelling, and also belong to diverse word classes.
B) The words have the same pronunciation but they have different meanings, origins, and spelling.
C) The words characterize the phenomenon whereby a single word form is associated with several senses.
D) The words are spelled the same but not necessarily pronounced the same, having different meanings and origins.
💡 GABARITO A
🧩Essa questão é uma das mais clássicas sobre homophones, homographs e heteronyms.
🔹Vamos destrinchar a questão 32 e mostrar por que o gabarito é A, além das pegadinhas nas demais alternativas.
🧩 O meme mostra as palavras:
THOUGHT – THROUGH – THROUGHOUT – THOUGHT – THOROUGH – TOUGH
🔹Essas palavras parecem semelhantes, mas têm diferenças de pronúncia, significado, classe gramatical e origem etimológica.
🟨 ANÁLISE DAS ALTERNATIVAS:
A) ✅The words differ in pronunciation, meaning, spelling, and also belong to diverse word classes.
🔹Correta →As palavras diferem em pronúncia, significado, ortografia e também pertencem a diferentes classes gramaticais.
🔹Correta porque: Apesar de visualmente parecidas, todas mudam completamente de som e de sentido. Exemplo:
🔹Thought /θɔːt/ → substantivo (pensamento) ou verbo (pensou)
🔹Through /θruː/ → preposição (através de)
🔹Throughout /θruːˈaʊt/ → advérbio/preposição (por todo)
🔹Thorough /ˈθʌrə/ → adjetivo (minucioso)
🔹Tough /tʌf/ → adjetivo (duro, difícil)
👉Elas diferem em tudo: som, grafia, função e sentido.
👉 Por isso, a alternativa A resume perfeitamente o fenômeno retratado no meme.
B) ❌The words have the same pronunciation but they have different meanings, origins, and spelling.
🔹Incorreta → As palavras têm a mesma pronúncia, mas significados, origens e grafias diferentes.
🔹Pegadinha: Isso define homophones (ex: two / too / to).
🔹Mas aqui, as palavras têm pronúncias diferentes, portanto não são homophones.
C) The words characterize the phenomenon whereby a single word form is associated with several senses. ❌
🔹Incorreta → As palavras caracterizam o fenômeno em que uma única forma de palavra está associada a vários sentidos.
🔹Pegadinha: Isso define polysemy (polissemia).
Exemplo real de polissemia: head (cabeça da pessoa / chefe / topo / frente).
🔹No caso do meme, não é uma mesma forma com vários sentidos, mas várias formas semelhantes entre si.
D) The words are spelled the same but not necessarily pronounced the same, having different meanings and origins. ❌
🔹Incorreta → As palavras são escritas da mesma forma, mas não necessariamente pronunciadas da mesma maneira, tendo diferentes significados e origens.
🔹Pegadinha: Isso define homographs (mesma grafia, pronúncia diferente). Exemplo: lead (guiar) vs lead (metal).
🔹Mas no meme, as palavras têm grafias diferentes (through ≠ tough ≠ thorough).
💬 Resumo em uma frase:
🔹O meme brinca com a inconsistência fonética e ortográfica do inglês, mostrando palavras parecidas na escrita, mas completamente diferentes em som, função e significado — exatamente o que diz a alternativa A.

💡 GABARITO A
🧩Questão #33 exige análise sintática e lexical de todas as frases, observando como preposições e conjunções são usadas.
Vamos destrinchar passo a passo para entender por que o gabarito é A e as pegadinhas nas demais alternativas.
🧩 ENUNCIADO
Examine the set of sentences and choose the item displaying incompatible data.
Ou seja, queremos identificar qual frase contém um erro gramatical ou de uso inadequado de conjunção/preposição.
🔹 ANÁLISE DAS SENTENÇAS (a–k):
a) We congratulated Ann on her newborn babygirl.
✅ “Congratulate on” é um prepositional verb correto.
b) Because Joe had lied over and over, mom was mad at him.
✅ “Because” = conjunção causal; “mad at” = correto.
c) Alice decided to wait until sunrise to go home.
✅ “Until sunrise” = locução prepositiva correta.
d) Since the beginning, their relationship was doomed.
✅ “Since” = preposição temporal aqui; ok.
e) Mark remained in the office until he finished talking about Ted’s behavior.
✅ “Until” = conjunção temporal (liga duas orações); ok.
f) Greens are low in fat, one can’t blame them for weight gain.
❌ ERRADA Faltou conjunção de coordenação: deveria ser “Greens are low in fat, so one can’t blame them…” ou usar ponto e vírgula. Há incompatibilidade de estrutura — duas orações independentes sem conector adequado.
g) Global warming is leading us not to rely on fossil fuels.
✅ Correto; infinitivo com “not to rely” perfeitamente aceitável.
h) Patricia is planning to resign from the 9-5 work soon.
✅ “Resign from” = verbo preposicional correto.
i) We’ve been going to school together since we were little kids.
✅ “Since” = conjunção temporal subordinativa; perfeito.
j) Even though they have limited funds, they hold fun events for the community.
✅ “Even though” = conjunção concessiva; certo.
k) Stop being so inquisitive and peering at this stuff, it’s supposed to be a surprise!
✅ Correto; uso natural de “and peering at”. Apenas vírgula poderia ser ponto, mas não há erro funcional.
⚠️ FRASE INCOMPATÍVEL → (f).
🔹Ela junta duas orações independentes sem conjunção coordenativa.
🔹 Correto:
🔹“Greens are low in fat, so one can’t blame them for weight gain.”
ou
🔹“Greens are low in fat; one can’t blame them for weight gain.”
🟨 ANÁLISE DAS ALTERNATIVAS:
Examine the set of sentences and choose the item displaying incompatible data.
Examine o conjunto de frases e escolha a opção que apresenta dados incompatíveis.
A) ❌Conjunctions always connect clauses, nouns or pronouns.
🔹Incorreta → As conjunções ligam sempre orações, substantivos ou pronomes.
🔹Conjunções não conectam substantivos ou pronomes isoladamente — quem faz isso são preposições.
🔹Conjunções conectam orações ou palavras de mesma classe (como “and” entre adjetivos ou verbos).
B) ✅Some conjunctions can also be employed as prepositions.
🔹Correta → Algumas conjunções podem também ser empregadas como preposições.
🔹Exemplo: “Since” → pode ser conjunção (Since you came) ou preposição (Since Monday).
C) ✅Prepositions will be followed either by nouns or pronouns.
🔹Correta → As preposições serão seguidas de substantivos ou pronomes.
🔹Correto. Exemplo: about her, on Monday, with them.
D) ✅Some sentences have prepositional verbs and their objects.
🔹Correta → Algumas frases têm verbos preposicionais e os seus objetos.
🔹 Exemplo: congratulate on, resign from, mad at.
🎯 Portanto:
A sentença com dado incompatível é a (f).
A alternativa que identifica o erro teórico correspondente é a letra A, porque define conjunção de forma incorreta.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2009 the American population was 80% white, 16% Hispanic 13% African-American,
5% Asian, 1% American Indian and 0.2% Native Hawaiian.
It is important to note that each race contains various ethnic groups,
and that the large numbers of the ethnic population can be credited to the significant immigrant population.
Geographically, in
the South as well as West, there are specific areas that have large portions of the total population that are a minority.
Notably,
close to half of the people in the West was a minority in 2010. California emerges as the state that contains the largest minority
population at 22.3 million.
Additionally, the years between 2000 and 2010, Texas joined California, the District of Columbia,
Hawaii as well as New Mexico in having the largest population of the minority.
Additionally, the examination of racial as well as
ethnic group distributions countrywide assert that while the non-Hispanic white alone population is still the largest major race
in the United States, it is growing at the slowest rate.
On the other hand, the Hispanic and Asian populations have grown
extensively in part because of moderately higher levels of immigration.
Culture is the lens with which individuals in a society assess everything around them, therefore.
Cultural diversity matters
because culture enables people to analyze what is proper or improper, what is viewed as normal or insane.
Notably, when one
encounters or associates himself with a culture that is not his, he may get a shock or get disoriented due to the different culture.
Therefore, most individuals employ their culture as a basis to judge other cultures, thus the risk of people beginning to
discriminate other’s way of life.
Thus the need for cultural diversity, America as a country, as workplaces, as schools gradually
consist of people of various cultural, racial as well as ethnic groups.
Hence, as a diverse society, we can learn from one another,
acknowledge different perspectives within the world in which we live, eliminate negative stereotypes, and personal biases
regarding different groups.

❑ Analyse the information given below to answer 38.
Undertanding the language as a means of communication which is predominantly oral, rather than written, considering language
teaching inductive, and not necessarily conscious is its base.
In terms of pedagogic theory, inductive teaching happens through
practice, so that students should be encouraged to answer questions, thus learning how to speak, speaking.
Translation must be
avoided, therefore, in order to construct understanding, teachers associate lexicon and object, in concrete relationships, what is
supposed to lead to abstract ideas, in such a way that those will always be linked to concrete concepts.
The sociolinguistic base for
teaching is the language employed by native speakers in everyday communicative interactions, that is, in simulations that introduce
dialogues, for example, in a restaurant, at the supermarket.
