The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle. A Scandal in Bohemia (Part I)


    I had seen little of Holmes lately. My marriage had drifted us away from each other. My own complete happiness, and the home-centred interests which rise up around the man who first finds himself master of his own establishment, were sufficient to absorb all my attention, while Holmes, who loathed every form of society with his whole Bohemian soul, Blank I in our lodgings in Baker Street, buried among his old books, and alternating from week to week between cocaine and ambition, the drowsiness of the drug, and the fierce energy of his own keen nature. He was still, as ever, deeply attracted by the study of crime, and occupied his immense faculties and extraordinary powers of observation in following out those clues, and clearing up those mysteries which had been abandoned as hopeless by the official police. From time to time I Blank II some vague account of his doings: of his summons to Odessa in the case of the Trepoff murder, of his clearing up of the singular tragedy of the Atkinson brothers at Trincomalee, and finally of the mission which he had accomplished so delicately and successfully for the reigning family of Holland. Beyond these signs of his activity, however, which I merely shared with all the readers of the daily press, I knew little of my former friend and companion.

One night – it was on the twentieth of March, 1888 – I was returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street. As I Blank III the well-remembered door, which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again. He had risen out of his drug-created dreams and was hot upon the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell and was shown up to the chamber which had formerly been in part my own.

His manner was not effusive. It seldom was; but he was glad, I think, to see me. With hardly a word spoken, but with a kindly eye, he waved me to an armchair, threw across his case of cigars, and indicated a spirit case and a gasogene in the corner. Then he stood before the fire and looked me over in his singular introspective fashion.

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.

Q3829932 Inglês
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").

II. No phrasal verb "turn on" (transitivo e separável), quando o objeto é um pronome (por exemplo, it), ele deve ser colocado entre o verbo e a partícula.
III. Prepositional verbs como "rely on" permitem que o objeto seja colocado antes da preposição (por exemplo, rely it on) para dar ênfase.

The voice system allows the speaker to adjust the focus of the proposition, but some verbs bridge the gap between active and passive, known as ergative or labile verbs. Analyze the assertions regarding ergative verbs in English syntax:
I. In the sentence "The window broke," the verb functions intransitively with a passive meaning, despite having active morphology and no explicit agent.
II. Ergative verbs require an agent in the subject position to be grammatically correct in the active voice.
III. "The book reads well" is an example of a middle voice construction where the grammatical subject undergoes the action.

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).
