I.The "Dominant-Hegemonic Position" occurs when the student takes the connoted meaning full and straight, decoding the message in terms of the reference code in which it has been encoded, accepting the preferred reading.
II.The "Negotiated Position" acknowledges the legitimacy of the hegemonic definitions to make the grand significations, but, at a more restricted, situational level, makes its own ground rules and operates with exceptions to the rule.
III.The "Oppositional Position" occurs when the student understands the preferred reading but rejects it entirely, decoding the message within an alternative frame of reference, often due to political or social disagreements.
Is/Are correct the statement(s):
(__)The "Bottom-up" model suggests that reading is a linear process of decoding, starting from the smallest units (letters/phonemes) to larger units (words/sentences), implying that comprehension is primarily driven by the text itself rather than the reader's background knowledge.
(__)The "Top-down" model emphasizes the reader's contribution, where background knowledge (schemata) and expectations are used to predict meaning, treating the text as a confirmation of hypotheses rather than just a source of raw data. (__)The "Interactive" model proposes that efficient reading involves a parallel and simultaneous operation of both bottom-up and top-down processes, where a deficit in one level (e.g., poor decoding) can be compensated by reliance on the other (e.g., strong context clues).
(__)In the "Top-down" approach, the explicit teaching of phonics and isolated vocabulary is the primary pedagogical strategy, as understanding the whole requires mastering every individual part first.
After analysis, select the alternative that presents the correct sequence of the items above, from top to bottom:
( ) Afternoon tea is a commonly cultural tradition associated with the United Kingdom.
( ) The United States is described in the text as a country strongly shaped by multicultural influences.

Choose the alternative which presents the correct sequence, from top to bottom.
( ) The expression “shines a light on” (l. 15) means to clarify or draw attention to something.
( ) The word “traffic” (l. 06) refers to the flow of visitors or interactions on a website and may be considered a false cognate in Portuguese.
( ) The word “shift” (l. 11) could be replaced by “change” without altering meaning.
( ) The verb “spark” (l. 15) is used in its literal sense of producing a flame or ignition.
The correct order of filling in the parentheses, from top to bottom, is:
I. In “reshaping” (l. 19), re- is a prefix meaning again, the same as in “recognize”.
II. The modal verb “might” (l. 02) expresses certainty that people will use the term “rage bait” to describe how they feel.
III. The sentence “‘rage bait’ had been around since just after the turn of the century” (l. 21-22) uses the past perfect to indicate that the term already existed before another point in the past.
Which ones are correct?
(__) 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 genre of "business emails" requires specific pragmatic competence regarding register and move structure. Mark T (True) or F (False) for the statements regarding the linguistic features of this genre.
(__)The use of the passive voice (e.g., "The payment has been processed") is frequently employed to depersonalize the message and mitigate face-threatening acts, focusing on the process rather than the agent.
(__)Business emails must always follow a rigid chronological narrative structure, similar to a literary text, to ensure that the recipient understands the history of the company.
(__)The use of emojis and slang is now considered the standard for all business communication, replacing formal salutations and closings entirely to build rapport.
(__)Nominalization (e.g., "implementation" instead of "implement") is avoided at all costs in business emails because it makes the text too dense and difficult to read for international partners.
Select the alternative that presents the correct sequence, from top to bottom.
