I. Fronting negative adverbials like "Under no circumstances" or "Seldom" requires subject-auxiliary inversion (e.g., "should you go").

III. "Little did he know" is a fixed phrase exemplifying negative inversion used for dramatic or emphatic effect.
Select the correct analysis:
(__) 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:
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").
Select the correct analysis:
I. "Look forward to" é um verbo phrasal-prepositional de três partes e é inseparável, de modo que o objeto deve ocorrer após a cadeia de partículas.
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.
Está correto o que se afirma em:
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.
Select the correct analysis:
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).
I.Adjectives generally precede the nouns they modify, except in specific cases such as when the adjective functions as a subject complement.
II.Inversion of the subject and auxiliary verb is mandatory in sentences beginning with negative adverbs like "seldom" or "never".
III.Intransitive verbs require a direct object to complete their meaning within a sentence structure.
