A formação e o posicionamento dos advérbios na
sentença são fundamentais para a coesão e para a
precisão semântica do enunciado em Língua Inglesa.
Acerca do assunto, registre V, para as afirmativas
verdadeiras, e F, para as falsas:
(__) Advérbios de modo derivados de adjetivos terminados em -ic, como "tragic" ou "economic", exigem a inserção da sílaba intermediária -al- antes da adição do sufixo -ly, resultando em formas como "tragically".
(__) Advérbios de frequência indeterminada, como "seldom" e "often", ocupam majoritariamente a posição final da frase quando o verbo principal está no tempo presente simples, para evitar a fragmentação do sintagma verbal.
(__) O termo "hardly" funciona como um advérbio de intensidade com carga semântica negativa, não guardando relação de significado com o advérbio de modo "hard", que descreve a aplicação de esforço ou força.
(__) Advérbios conectivos (conjunctive adverbs), como "nonetheless" e "furthermore", exigem o uso de ponto e vírgula ou ponto final para separar as orações independentes que relacionam logicamente no texto.
Após análise, assinale a alternativa que apresenta a sequência CORRETA dos itens acima, de cima para baixo:

A morfologia derivacional em inglês permite a expansão
do léxico através da fixação de afixos que alteram a
classe gramatical ou o sentido das bases. Acerca das
propriedades de "word formation", registre V, para as
afirmativas verdadeiras, e F, para as falsas:
(__) O prefixo "un-" é utilizado para expressar oposição ou reversão em adjetivos e verbos, enquanto o prefixo "in-" possui alomorfos como "im-", "il-" e "ir-", condicionados pela letra inicial da raiz.
(__) Sufixos como "-en", adicionados a adjetivos como "weak" ou "short", funcionam como formadores de verbos que indicam o processo de tornar-se ou causar a qualidade descrita pela base.
(__) A adição do sufixo "-ness" transforma adjetivos em substantivos concretos que designam ferramentas manuais, perdendo a relação semântica com o estado ou qualidade original da palavra.

Text I
Multiliteracy: the new basic skill for the 21st century classroom
We increasingly engage with texts that draw meaning beyond
written words from other sources. Images, sound, video clips and
gestures (alone and in combination) all play central roles in how
we communicate and interpret content.
This multimedia approach is especially evident in online
platforms and social media, where a single piece of content may
blend written language with videos, graphics, photos and other
visual elements. This change requires us to rethink what we mean
by literacy.
Nearly 30 years ago, a group of scholars, the New London
Group, recognised the need for a broader understanding of
literacy after observing a growing gap between the literacy needs
students faced outside of school and the print-based practices still
dominant in classrooms.
They introduced a concept of multiliteracies which
acknowledges that we now engage with texts that use multiple
modes of communication. We engage with these texts in different
media environments, each with their own practices and strategies.
The concept incorporates the literacy skills needed to acquire,
interpret, produce and evaluate the multimodal and multimedia
texts we encounter today.
For literacy education, this shift means updating classroom
aims, content and activities. The group developed a pedagogical
framework to help schools respond to the growing inequalities and
rapid changes in technology and the textual landscape.
The process starts with examining pupils’ everyday literacy
practices and experiences together. Then these practices are
approached analytically by introducing a metalanguage for
discussing the resources they use to create meaning. Students can
use this metalanguage to critically evaluate their literacy practices
which helps them understand how different modes of
communication work and how to use them effectively.
The pedagogy of multiliteracies also emphasises the design
and production of multimodal texts and collaborative learning in
linguistically and culturally diverse groups, rather than individual
reading activities. […]
Multiliteracies are already included in many European
curricula, and the European framework for key competencies for
lifelong learning defines literacy in a way that aligns with the
concept of multiliteracies. These policy documents and guidelines
provide a foundation for integrating multiliteracies into literacy
education.
Yet, research shows that there is still work to be done to
incorporate teaching multimodal literacy practices into
mainstream literacy education. While many teachers do include
multimodal texts in their classroom activities, tensions between
multimodal and traditional practices still exist.
Studies point out the huge challenges teachers face when they
adapt their teaching to the redefined literacies, and there are
concerns about teachers’ preparedness to teach multiliteracies.
They need support with training and appropriate materials. Teacher educators and policy makers must ensure that teachers
have substantial and concrete support.

Text for question
Hero boy swims for four hours to save his family (9th February 2026)
A 13-year-old Australian boy has been hailed a hero after an epic swim that saved his family. The boy, Austin Appelbee, and his family were on a beach holiday in Western Australia. They were kayaking and paddleboarding in shallow water when strong winds pushed them farther offshore. They ended up over four kilometres away from land, and the daylight was fading. Austin decided to kayak to shore to get help. However, the waves had damaged his kayak, which had taken in water and flipped over. He said he then lost an oar and knew he was in trouble. He decided he had no alternative but to swim back to land. He swam through shark-frequented waters to raise the alarm.
Austin made it to the beach and phoned for help. This sparked a huge rescue operation, which resulted in coastguards finding the teenager's mother and two younger sisters. The boy said: "I hit the bottom of the beach and I just collapsed, and then, after that, I had to “ sprint two kilometres to get to the phone." Rescuers called his efforts "superhuman". One rescuer said Austin's actions could not "be praised highly enough." He added that the teenager's "determination and courage ultimately saved the lives of his mother and siblings." Austin's mother Joanne, 47, told reporters: "The wind picked up. We lost oars, and we drifted out further. It was an absolute nightmare."
Analyze the morphological structure of the following words extracted from the text: "determinationv", "superhuman", and "fading'. Which alternative CORRECTLY identifies the word formation processes and the grammatical category changes involved?

Digital technologies have transformed the way English is taught and learned, offering educators and students more dynamic
and flexible ways to engage with language. According to recent research, tools such as computer-assisted instruction, mobile devices,
and online multimedia platforms enable both teachers and learners to access a wide variety of resources — from interactive exercises,
videos, and audio recordings to adaptive learning modules.
These tools facilitate exposure to real language input, allow for repetition and individual pacing, and help learners practise all
four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing) beyond the constraints of the traditional classroom schedule.
Moreover, the integration of technology in English-language instruction tends to increase student motivation and
engagement. Studies report that when classrooms incorporate digital media and interactive tasks, students often show greater
participation, interest, and willingness to communicate — factors that contribute to better learning outcomes.
In contexts where technology offers immediate feedback or allows for collaborative online work, learners also benefit from
more autonomy and personalized learning paths, which can boost confidence and foster a more learner-centered environment.
However, effective technology integration depends on thoughtful planning, teacher training, and pedagogical balance. The
literature warns that simply having access to digital tools does not guarantee improved learning; educators must design meaningful
tasks, adapt materials appropriately, and support learners' needs.
Furthermore, in settings where access to devices or internet is limited, or where teachers lack sufficient training, the potential
benefits may not be realized — which underlines the importance of institutional support and professional development for successful
implementation.

Teacher Qualifications, Professionalism,
Competencies, and Benchmarks
To achieve professionalism, English language teachers
(both native English-speaking teachers [NESTs] and nonnative English-speaking teachers [NNESTs]) need to gain
competence in disciplinary content knowledge about the
nature of language, language learning, and language
teaching, as well as pedagogical content knowledge
regarding teaching strategies that they can use to make
their teaching contextually appropriate and effective.
Teachers also need to achieve the ability to use English
effectively for different purposes, and acquire knowledge
about English that gives them the skills to analyze and
explain the language. In addition, teachers need to engage
in reflective activities and classroom-based research as
part of developing teacher qualifications, in order to be
able to make a connection between these bodies of
knowledge and their practice and continue their
professional development. Benchmarks developed to
measure teachers' English language proficiency need to
reflect local needs and constraints as well as respond to the
role of English as a lingua franca.

(__)Prefixes and suffixes are used in English to change the meaning or the word class of a base word, such as adding '-ness' to an adjective to form a noun.
(__)The use of modal verbs like 'can', 'must' and 'should' allows the speaker to express different degrees of possibility, obligation and advice in a conversation.
(__)Passive voice is formed by using the verb 'to be' and the past participle of the main verb, focusing more on the action itself than on the person who performed it.

Leia o texto a seguir para responder à questão:
The term “language practice” refers to activities which involve repetition of the same language point or skill in an environment which is controlled by the framework of the activity. The purpose for language production and the language to be produced are usually predetermined by the task or the teacher. The intention is not to use the language for communication but to strengthen the ability to manipulate a particular language form or function.
Activities centered on “language use”, on the other hand, involve the production of language in order to communicate. The purpose of the activity might be predetermined but the language which is used is determined by the learners.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle.
A Scandal in Bohemia (Part II)
“Wedlock suits you,” he remarked. “I think, Watson, that you
have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.”
“Seven!” I answered.
“Indeed, I should have thought a little more. Just a trifle more, I
fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I observe. You did not tell
me that you intended to go into harness.”
“Then, how do you know?”
“I see it, I deduce it. How do I know that you have been getting
yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and
careless servant girl?”
“My dear Holmes,” said I, “this is too much.
You would certainly have been burned, had you lived a few centuries ago. It is true that I had a country walk on Thursday and
came home in a dreadful mess, but as I have changed my clothes
I can’t imagine how you deduce it. As to Mary Jane, she is incorrigible, and my wife has given her notice, but there, again, I
fail to see how you work it out.”
He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.
“It is simplicity itself,” said he; “my eyes tell me that on the inside
of your left shoe, just where the firelight strikes it, the leather is
scored by six almost parallel cuts. Obviously they have been caused by someone who has very carelessly scraped round the edges
of the sole in order to remove crusted mud from it. Hence, you
see, my double deduction that you had been out in vile weather,
and that you had a particularly malignant boot-slitting specimen
of the London slavey. As to your practice, if a gentleman walks
into my rooms smelling of iodoform, with a black mark of nitrate
of silver upon his right forefinger, and a bulge on the right side
of his top hat to show where he has secreted his stethoscope,
I must be dull, indeed, if I do not pronounce him to be an active
member of the medical profession.”

( ) The suffix -ly changes a noun directly into an adverb in “carelessly”.
( ) The word careless represents an intermediate stage in the formation of “carelessly”.
( ) “Carelessly” is an adjective formed from the noun care.
