I. Using the passive voice puts Barnum at the center of the sentence, which fits the paragraph's focus on his reputation and legacy.
II. The point is that it is widely said Barnum is responsible for the quote. The passive voice elegantly generalizes and vagueness the source, which is appropriate for common attribution or collective opinion.
III. The writer wants the reader to pay attention to who receives the credit (P.T. Barnum), not who exactly is doing the crediting ("people say", "historians claim", "critics argue").
The CORRECT statements are:
I. In Portuguese, "publicidade" often means advertislng paid for by a company.
II. In English, publicity can be free/earned media, including news coverage or viral attention.
III. In this case "publicidade / publicity" is a false friend, but in a nuanced way, not a 100 % "opposite meaning" one.
The CORRECT statements are
( ) The word ethos is uncountable because it refers to the guiding spirit, values, or character of a person, group, or culture.
( ) The word ethos names a general, continuous quality (a way of thinking/behaving).
( ) In the text, you could say two ethoses because it reÍers to an overarching spirit or attitude that applies to many people.
( ) The use of ethos is functional when the writer wants to talk about individual instances.
Which alternative CORRECTLY fills in the parentheses above?
( ) In literal terms, a ringmaster is the person in charge of a circus performance, especially the one who introduces the acts, guides the audience's attention, and keeps the show moving in the ring.
( ) In the text, the word is used metaphorically.
( ) The "ringmaster" stands for P.T. Barnum as the director/controller of attention and spectacle, the one who teaches people that any kind of publicity (even fake or sensational) is acceptable as long as it grabs notice.
( ) "Ringmaster", in popular culture, means the master-of-ceremonies of a showy, attention-driven culture, not just a literal circus host.
