'Simply astonishing': Experts just found a massive
lost civilisation hiding in the Amazon
A civilisation that may have once numbered up to 3
million people has been uncovered beneath the Amazon
rainforest's dense canopy, according to a new study.
Researchers used LIDAR − a technology that fires pulses
of laser light through gaps in the forest canopy to map
the ground below − to survey more than 4,400km of the
southwestern Amazon Basin. The findings were
published in Nature.
Archaeologists now believe the Aquiry civilisation, which
lived in the region from roughly 600BCE to 850CE, may
have been around three times larger than previously
expected. At its peak, their society may have numbered
1.25 −3 million people.
The survey uncovered thousands of geometric patterns
built into the Earth, known as geoglyphs, which take
various shapes including circles and squares and appear
to be connected by straight roads or pathways.
"The scale and precision of these constructions are
simply astonishing," lead author and University of
Helsinki archaeologist, Prof Martti Pärssinen, told BBC
Science Focus.
"Based on LiDAR surveys covering 4,500 km², we
estimate that the entire 183,000 km² Aquiry region may
contain approximately 24,000 to 30,000 earthworks
linked by hundreds of roads, revealing a scale of
landscape modification previously unimaginable for this
part of Amazonia."
Before LIDAR technology was able to peek through the
trees, experts could only investigate deforested areas of
the Amazon − fuelling a mistaken belief that only the
rainforest's sparser regions had been settled by humans,
and not its denser parts.
"These findings suggest that many other regions across
Amazonia may likewise have been far more densely
populated and intensively modified than previously
assumed, challenging the long-standing view of the
rainforest as a largely untouched wilderness," Pärssinen
said.
The next phase of the project is to use the same laser technology to identify tree species that early societies
domesticated − such as those bearing nuts or fruit, and
which continue to grow in the region today.
"We will then investigate how their distribution relates to
different ecosystems, as well as to the locations of
earthworks and ancient road networks," Pärssinen said.
"Simply put, one cannot help but wonder: what else
remains hidden beneath the forest canopy?"
https://www.sciencefocus.com/news/amazon-civilisation-lidar
The article establishes temporal, causal, additive, and
comparative relations through connective expressions.
These relations are important because they organize the
explanation of how technological limitations influenced
earlier interpretations of Amazonian settlement.
Considering the connective structures used in the text, mark T, for true, and F, for false.
(__)In Before LIDAR technology was able to peek through the trees, before introduces a finite subordinate clause expressing temporal anteriority.
(__)In such as those bearing nuts or fruit, such as introduces examples of the tree species the researchers intend to investigate.
(__)In as well as to the locations of earthworks and ancient road networks, as well as contributes an additive relation to the description of variables whose relationships will be investigated.
(__)In than previously assumed, than introduces a causal subordinate clause explaining why researchers revised their interpretation of population density.
After analysis, select the alternative that presents the CORRECT sequence of the items above, from top to bottom.

O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder à questão.
Entrepreneurship is booming in the U.S. Gen Zers are
leading the way.
For Melanie Herbert, years of hospital treatments for a
serious medical condition fueled an early interest in how
healthcare providers communicate and address their
patients' needs.
The experience informed her decision years later to
launch Sync Labs, a health technology startup that aims
to improve care for older Americans, while she was still a
student at the University of Pennsylvania.
"I feel like it's unfortunately a very neglected space where
a lot of the technology and tools are really behind,"
Herbert, 23, told CBS News.
Although such entrepreneurship is clearly unusual for
young people, it is by no means unheard of these days.
Research from the Bank of America Institute shows that
Generation Z members are contributing
"disproportionately" to a recent surge in business
formation.
In a trend that highlights how younger Americans are helping catalyze economic growth, the number of new
business applications filed by Gen Zers jumped 66% in
June compared with a year ago. That far outpaced
applications filed by other generations, the Bank of
America Institute found.
Young Americans are helping fuel a broader jump in
applications to form businesses. According to the Federal
Reserve Bank of St. Louis, Americans filed more than
531,000 business applications in June, more than double
the 2020 figure.
Scott Issen, CEO of Future Founders, a nonprofit group
that helps nurture entrepreneurial skills, said demand for
the organization's services is surging — a shift he
attributes to a change in many young people's attitude
toward employment.
"Macroeconomically, I think there's less interest year over
year for young people to work for others," he told CBS
News. "They would prefer to be their own bosses and
create their own opportunity."
The burst in entrepreneurship among younger Americans
isn't limited to graduates of prestigious universities.
Lower-income households now account for 25% of all
new businesses getting off the ground, up from 20% in
2020, the Bank of America Institute found.
"In a lot of ways, I think entrepreneurship is
democratizing right now," said Angela Lee, co-director of
the Eugene Lang Entrepreneurship Center at Columbia
Business School. "So I'm not at all surprised to see
younger, lower-income founders start companies."
AI lowers barriers to entry
Experts attribute part of the surge in Gen Z founders to
the advent of artificial intelligence, which is helping young
people get their businesses off the ground by automating
basic tasks and reducing startup costs.
"The barriers to entry are getting much lower," Lori
Rosenkopf, a professor at the Wharton School of the
University of Pennsylvania, told CBS News. "It's pretty
easy for anyone to start building some content, making
themselves a content creator or doing a little bit of vibe
coding."
AI can also help young business founders save money.
Lee, a serial entrepreneur, said she paid roughly $15,000
for a single web developer when she started her first
company.
"Now with AI, something that would have taken an app
developer three months and $15,000, you can vibe code
over the weekend," she said.
AI is integral to Herbert's company, which uses the
technology to streamline information from health
providers' notes, staff observations, lab results and other
data. For example, Sync Labs' tech can "ambiently listen"
to staff meetings when activated, creating a fuller picture
of patient needs and offering clinically backed
recommendations from the company's generative AI
models, she said.
Herbert also said AI has been a "game changer" for daily operations at the San Francisco-based company, noting
that it helps speed up tasks and reduce expenses. "As a
startup, time is everything," she said. "We're trying to get
our product out to as many people as possible as quickly
as possible."
"There is a lot of job dislocation right now"
Today's challenging economic backdrop — and the rise
of AI — also helps explain why more young Americans
are choosing to launch their own businesses, experts
said.
"There is a lot of job dislocation right now, and younger
people are finding it hard to secure traditional
employment given our current economic conditions,"
Wharton's Rosenkopf said.
Although U.S. unemployment remains low and job growth
has been solid, research shows that recent college
graduates are struggling to find work, especially as AI
starts to automate certain functions normally reserved for
entry-level workers. A recent ZipRecruiter survey of 1,000
recruiters found that 38% of employers have shifted basic
data-processing tasks away from entry-level workers and
onto AI.
Herbert said she didn't start Sync Labs due to concerns
about the labor market, but noted that the stress of
finding a job has weighed heavily on her friends.
"Being in this generation, it's probably one of the most
talked about things," she said.

Answer question based on the paragraph bellow:
[The] centrality of emotion in identity may seem to clash with a compelling argument that identity is a consciousness of one’s memories – that is, one’s history – in some organized pattern, often a continuous narrative... At one level, it is indispu table that a sense of one’s own identity is constructed from narrative memory.... However, we believe that we are arguing about a motivational process that underlies the very construction of such memories and the motivation for their construc tion. If people organize their thoughts, memories, and future hopes around happy events, it would be circularly the case that they are most them selves when this organization functions well and should have a sense of not being them selves if it does not function. Moreover, happy people should use particular strategies for thought (including memory construction) that are somewhat different from those of people who feel most themselves when they are excited or exhilarated.
(Available at: Haviland-Jones JM, Kahlbaugh P (2004) Emotion and identity. In: Lewis M, Haviland-Jones JM (eds) Handbook of emotions, 3rd edn. The Guilford Press, New York, pp 293–305)

tion of such memories and the motivation for their construction”, the word highlighted introduces a contrast with a previ

Global Englishes in Language Education
Global Englishes in language education encompasses the
study and teaching of English as a pluricentric,
international means of communication rather than a single
standard variety. This field recognises the multiplicity of
English norms around the world and seeks pedagogical
approaches that validate diverse accents, dialects and
communicative practices. Recent scholarship emphasises
critical awareness of power dynamics in language use,
challenges the supremacy of native-speaker models and
promotes curricula that equip learners to navigate
intercultural encounters. Innovations span bottom-up
curriculum design, translanguaging and digital
technologies, all underpinned by partnerships between
researchers and practitioners. The ultimate aim is to
prepare both teachers and students for inclusive,
intelligible and context-sensitive use of English in global
settings.

TEXTO PARA A QUESTÃO
Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Language Learning
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an increasingly influential tool in language education. Digital platforms powered by AI can instantly provide personalized feedback, adapt learning paths according to students' performance, and offer opportunities for authentic interaction through virtual assistants and conversational chatbots. Such innovations have expanded access to language learning beyond the classroom and have encouraged greater learner autonomy.
However, educational researchers emphasize that technological innovation alone does not guarantee meaningful learning. They argue that language acquisition remains fundamentally a social process, requiring interaction, negotiation of meaning, collaboration, and critical reflection. Therefore, AI should not replace teachers but rather complement pedagogical practices, allowing educators to dedicate more time to mediating learning, fostering intercultural awareness, and promoting communicative competence.
Furthermore, concerns have emerged regarding algorithmic bias, data privacy, and the reliability of automatically generated content. For this reason, schools are increasingly expected to develop students' digital literacy so that they can critically evaluate online information, recognize the limitations of artificial intelligence, and use technological resources ethically and responsibly.
In this context, effective language teaching involves balancing technological innovation with human interaction, ensuring that digital resources enhance—not replace—the educational relationship established between teachers and learners.

New surgeon general’s advisory raises alarm about
screen time risks for kids and teens
Too much screen use among kids and teens – including endless
social media scrolling, nonstop texting and hours of video
games – can be harmful, and it has become a public health
concern in the United States, according to a surgeon general’s
advisory released Wednesday.
Officials at the US Department of Health and Human Services
collaborated on the new advisory, as there is no confirmed
surgeon general within the Trump administration.
The advisory warns that exposure to screens often begins
before a child’s first birthday and increases with age […].

The Hidden History of Women Game Designers
Educational games were all the rage in the early
ninteenth century. As the narrator of Sir Walter Scott's
1814 novel, Waverley, observed, "the history of England
is now reduced to a game at cards, the problems of
mathematics to puzzles and riddles." This bemusement
reflects the burgeoning industry of instructional card,
dice, and board games that sprang up in the late 1700s,
partly in response to changing attitudes towards juvenile
education outlined early on by the philosopher John
Locke a century before.
Women at the time were, of course, generally barred
from attending college and generally discouraged from
the pursuit of learning beyond acquiring the skills of a
governess. Yet the wave of enthusiasm for educational
games nevertheless created an opportunity for some
enterprising
women—despite significant structural
obstacles—to find an intellectual and creative outlet.
Standout figures in the history of game design include
Margaret Bryan, who directed a girl's school in
Blackheath in southeastern London. A writer on science
with a particular interest in astronomy, Bryan produced
the boardgame Science in Sport, or the Pleasures of
Astronomy in collaboration with the well-known game
publisher John Wallis.
This game, a variation on the staple of the Game of the
Goose (akin to Chutes and Ladders), requires players to
spin a teetotum and race their pieces along the board.
Most of the squares illustrate scientific phenomena,
explained in an accompanying rule booklet, but some
depict bad behavior, such as square six, which features
"The County Gaol...for those who attend to the motion of
Billiard Balls, more than to the motion of the Planets,"
and square twelve, which features "a blockhead." Landing on these meant losing a turn or worse, a player's
place on the board.
Learning the rules of music theory by rote could seem
tedious. But the subject itself—with its principles,
prohibitions, and occasional exceptions—lent itself to
gamification.
Other pioneering game designers include children's
author Alicia Catherine Mant, who also published an
astronomy-themed board game, while the ludic
inventions of the poet and schoolteacher Elizabeth
Rowse encompassed A Grammatical Game, in Rhyme,
by a Lady (1802) and Mythological Amusement (1804).
Perhaps the most creative arena for female game
designers, however, was music, and more specifically,
music theory. Among the middle and upper classes,
music was generally seen as a female accomplishment,
and teaching its rudiments to children was typically left to mothers, governesses, or schoolmistresses. Learning the
rules of music theory by rote could seem difficult and
tedious. But the subject itself—with its principles,
prohibitions, and occasional exceptions—lent itself
remarkably well to gamification.
The nineteenth century's best-known musical game
designer was the Edinburgh-based pianist and music
teacher Anne Young. In 1801, she received a royal
patent for a set of games intended to "render familiar and
impress upon the memory, the fundamental principles of
the science of music." The first British patent ever
granted for a game, it was also the only one awarded that
year to a female inventor, as David Ghere and Fred
Amram have discovered. Two years after the launch of
the Musical Games, Young, now the respectably married
Mrs.
Gunn, published a two-hundred-fifty page
companion treatise entitled An Introduction to Music,
which explained music theory fundamentals via
instructions for playing her Musical Games. The treatise
is organized as seven sections, each corresponding to a
different set of games, and includes a number of optional
variations, outlining twenty-two different games in total.
A handful of Young's Musical Games can be found in
libraries, museums, and private collections today. They're
luxury items: the boards were made of mahogany, while
most of the nearly two hundred parts in each
game—pins, dice, plates, and counters—were carved out
of ivory and ebony. Priced originally at seven guineas,
which was more than the annual wages of a laborer at
the time, this game set would have been affordable only
for the very wealthy.
Unlike earlier musical dice games, which were designed
to encourage composition, Musical Games aimed to
teach the rudiments of theory. Some of the games that
can be played on the set involve racing, with players
competing to move their pieces up and down various
configurations on the board. Others involve the
acquisition of points for correct answers, tallied with
delicate ivory counters. A child following the treatise's
progression of games would engage many of the
fundamentals of music theory, ranging from notation
through more advanced topics in harmony including
chord resolution and modulation.
Young's invention haunted musical journals throughout
the nineteenth century, resurfacing from time to time in
newspaper queries, sometimes from readers intrigued by
the warm endorsement it got from her husband John
Gunn, a distinguished Scottish music pedagogue who
wroteinstructional treatises. (In his writings, Gunn
protested "without having ever previously heard the name
of the ingenious and scientific Inventor, I was struck with
the merits of these Games.") Interestingly, the Musical
Games reappear nearly a century later in the essay
"Games of Music," published in 1907 in the
London-based magazine The Musical Times by Bertha
Harrison, who was very likely the anti-suffrage activist
also known as Ethel Bertha Harrison. Harrison was
interested in music history—her earlier writings in The
Musical Times had treated topics such as child prodigies
and historic concert venues—but it was only in her essay on musical games that she revealed her political
leanings.
In
what may be one of the earliest pieces of
ludomusicology, the study of music and games,
Harrison's essay surveys the role of musical games from
the eighteenth century to her present day. Although she
ostensibly examines musical games in general, most of
her article is dedicated to Young, whom she
characterizes as a woman "possessed of an uncommon
order of mind." Harrison describes Young's games as "so
clever and ingenious, so full of nice detail, that all the
music games of the present day seem poor in design and
clumsy in execution in comparison with it."
However, the crux of Harrison's argument appears in a
subsequent paragraph, where she struggles to put a
positive spin on the striking disparity in the quality of
games designed by women and men, writing that "is a
curious and interesting fact that, among musical games,
those invented by women are very complicated and
extraordinarily full of detail, while those invented by men
are, with very rare exceptions, quite simple and generally
adaptations from other games. From this we may draw
one of two conclusions: either that in this particular line
woman has more originality than man, or that when she
begins to invent, her mind becomes so engrossed with
details as to lose sight of the main issue, and, in the
words of the proverb, she cannot see the wood for the
trees."
Conceding that women might be intrinsically better at
musical game design, Harrison immediately undercuts
this notion with the claim that women are overly
concerned with details, and that is why their games tend
to be more complex. The stereotype of the detail-oriented
woman, as exemplified in this example, is a trope that, as
Naomi Schor reminds us, has informed and limited
understandings of female ability for centuries.
Harrison's critique notwithstanding, the nineteenth
century saw many impressive music educational games
invented by women. The 1851 Great Exhibition in London
featured Gioco di Euterpe, (a game whose name invokes
the Greek goddess of music) designed by Abelinde
Prince and "intended to assist beginners in the
knowledge of the relative value of musical characters,
and to render them good timeists." The editor of The
Girl's Own Book (1869) described a game developed by
an anonymous female friend, entitled "Sir Samuel
Semibreve," which taught sight-singing and could be
ordered from a music shop in Middlesex.
Across the Atlantic, Abbie T. Hays, principal of a music
school in Wichita, Kansas, filed a patent in 1895 for a
"musical game device" designed to teach notation with
pictures depicting the words spelled out by note-names
(think B-A-G or B-E-E). Later that year, Sarah W.
Featherstone, a schoolteacher in Toledo, Ohio, filed a
patent for Nota Bene, which used a spinning wheel to
teach children rhythm. And in 1897, the enterpreneurial
Evelyn Fletcher of Toronto filed both Canadian and US
patents for a Music Block Game. Her "Fletcher Music
Method" would later be endorsed by luminaries such as John Philip Sousa and Hugo Riemann, and it was highly
popular with schoolteachers. This is just a small selection
of the names and devices that pop out of the archive.
In my experience searching historical patent records, one
is more likely to come across games designed by women
than by men. Bertha Harrison seems to have gotten that
right, at least!
Today, using gamification to teach music seems like a
no-brainer. Indeed, many music videogames have
become wildly popular—think instrument-based rhythm
games like Guitar Hero. While these games generally
teach synchronization, there are also plenty of music
theory games available to try online, such as ToneGym,
Solfege Story, or Chet — Ear Training. Although these
modern creations would have been unthinkable a
hundred years ago, these games are still part of an
unusual—and unusually female—tradition.

The author first acknowledges the sophistication of
women's musical games and then explains how Bertha
Harrison weakened that recognition by reproducing a
gender stereotype. The paragraph begins with the
connector "However." Mark the alternative that describes
the CORRECT cohesive function of this connector.
