Nominal sentences present a relatively simple grammatical structure and fulfill their function in a direct way.

Analyze the two examples below and mark the correct option:



“The little girl quickly opened the red box in the kitchen.”


“Absolute silence in the library.”

When the Classroom Goes Online

Over the past decade, the English classroom has changed more than it had in the previous hundred years. Mobile phones, social networks, artificial intelligence tools and online platforms are now part of students’ daily lives, and the teaching of English can no longer ignore this reality.

However, the use of technology in language education is not a matter of simply replacing books with screens. What truly matters is how these resources are used. A video, a message exchange, a podcast or an online discussion only become educational when they are integrated into meaningful learning situations, connected to students’ experiences and guided by clear pedagogical objectives.

Teachers who understand this shift no longer see themselves as the only source of knowledge. Instead, they act as mediators who help learners build meaning, develop autonomy and reflect on language use in real communicative contexts. This perspective is strongly supported by the principles of the Brazilian National Common Core (BNCC), which emphasizes the social and functional use of language.

In this sense, learning English is not just about memorizing structures or rules. It involves interpreting texts, negotiating meaning, expressing identity and participating in global conversations. When the classroom goes online, it does not lose its educational role — it expands it.

Adverbial phrases provide circumstantial information, and their specific placement at the beginning of a sentence can trigger syntactic changes like subject-auxiliary inversion. Analyze the assertions below regarding negative adverbials and inversion:
I. Fronting negative adverbials like "Under no circumstances" or "Seldom" requires subject-auxiliary inversion (e.g., "should you go").
II. Adverbials of frequency always trigger inversion when placed at the beginning of the sentence (e.g., "Sometimes go I").
III. "Little did he know" is a fixed phrase exemplifying negative inversion used for dramatic or emphatic effect.

Reading comprehension requires distinguishing between literal information and inferential reasoning based on cohesive ties and reference. Considering the sentence "The heavy rain caused a flood, which destroyed the bridge," judge the statements as True (T) or False (F):
(__) The relative pronoun "which" refers to the entire preceding clause (the fact that rain caused a flood).
(__) It can be inferred that the bridge was destroyed directly by the rain drops, not by the resulting flood.
(__) This structure is an example of a sentential relative clause, providing a comment on the whole situation.
(__) The pronoun "which" could be grammatically replaced by "that" in this specific non-restrictive context.
The correct sequence, from top to bottom, is:

The internal structure of noun phrases often involves complex modification by adjective phrases and specific pronominal constraints. Analyze the following assertions regarding syntax and usage constraints of adjectives and pronouns:
I. In the phrase "The person responsible for the damage," the adjective must follow the noun because it is post-modified by a prepositional phrase.
II. "Between you and I" is the prescriptively correct form for the object of a preposition in standard English grammar.
III. Adjectives ending in -ble or -ible often follow the noun when the noun is modified by a superlative (e.g., "the best hotel available").

In academic or formal writing, the choice between coordination (parataxis) and subordination (hypotaxis) significantly affects textual density and information hierarchy. Analyze the statements regarding these mechanisms:
I.Subordination creates a hierarchy of information, allowing the writer to background less important information (in the dependent clause) and foreground the main point (in the independent clause).
II.Heavy nominalization, often associated with subordination, tends to decrease lexical density, making the text resemble spoken language more closely.
III.Coordination links clauses of equal grammatical status, which can sometimes lead to ambiguity regarding the logical relationship between ideas if explicit connectors are not used.

Choose the alternative that indicates the correct statement(s).

How Long Does It Take to Get Fit Again?



    When it comes to cardiovascular fitness and muscle strength, the adage is true: Use it or lose it. While regular exercise can improve heart health and increase strength and mobility, taking weeks or months off can reverse many of those benefits.

    That’s not to say that rest days are not important. In general, short breaks can help you physically and mentally recharge, but whenever possible, you should avoid extending your time off for too long so that hopping back on the wagon doesn’t feel too daunting or miserable.

    “Your body adapts to the stimulus you provide,” said Dr. Kevin Stone, an orthopedic surgeon and the author of the book “Play Forever: How to Recover From Injury and Thrive.” “Your muscles become used to the stress and the testosterone, the adrenaline and endorphins — all the wonderful things that circulate from exercise. When you take that away, the body initiates a muscle loss program.”

Digital archeology

The City Gallery presents Filip Popov with his exhibition "Digital Archeology"

With a large exhibition, including works from his most famous cycles, the visual artist Filip Popov will exhibit in the Hall "2019" at 32 Gladstone Street from March 2 to 31.

For the first time the artist makes such a large-scale performance in the city where he was born.

The opening will be on March 2 from 17:00 to 19:30.

The topics that excite the author of the exhibition "Digital Archeology" can be deciphered in the titles of the series of works created over the past 8 years: TransOrganic, Para Bellum, Order, Posthuman, Paleomatic Monologues and Prayers to the latest series - Bunker City and Zero City. As Velizara Ivanova emphasizes in her analysis:

Combining works dating back to 2014, Digital Archeology reflects Philip Popov's continuing focus on the posthumanism and transhumanism, confronting technology and our uncertain future and insight into the way machines are woven into our tomorrow's world. "

Born in 1964 in Plovdiv, Filip Popov spent several years of his childhood in Germany, where he formed his ideas for unity between art, architecture, design and technology. He studied art at the National Academy of Arts in Sofia, moved to Basel to study at the Kunstgewerbeschule, and later lived in Zurich.

He has had solo exhibitions at EASA, West Berlin (1988), EKG, Wetzikon, CH (1993), Binz Foundation 39, Zurich (1994), Kunsthalle Liesthal, CH (1996), ArtFront Gallery, Tokyo (2005). It is presented in the most famous galleries in Sofia and the country. In 2014 he participated in the National Autumn Exhibitions in Plovdiv. Filip Popov exhibits his works in numerous group exhibitions in Bulgaria, Switzerland, Austria, France.

Regarding the morphological and syntactic structures in the text "Digital Archeology," judge the statements below.

I.The compound noun "posthumanism" in the phrase "Philip Popov's continuing focus on the posthumanism and transhumanism" exhibits derivational morphology through the prefix "post-" (meaning after/beyond) attached to the base "humanism," creating a philosophical term denoting ideology beyond traditional humanism, and this word formation process exemplifies productive morphological patterns in academic and philosophical English vocabulary.

II.The prepositional phrase "from 2014" in "Combining works dating back to 2014" functions as a temporal adjunct modifying the present participle "dating," and the phrasal verb "dating back to" is a three-word intransitive phrasal verb meaning to originate or have existed since a particular time, commonly used in historical and chronological contexts.

III.The relative clause "where he was born" in "the city where he was born" is a restrictive (defining) relative clause that specifies which city is being referenced, using the relative adverb "where" to indicate location, and this construction could be alternatively expressed as "in which he was born" with preposition fronting, though "where" is more natural and commonly preferred in spoken and written English.


The following statement(s) is/are CORRECT.
