Q3790083 Inglês
Lexico-grammar focuses on the interdependence of vocabulary and syntax, emphasizing that language consists of chunks and collocations rather than isolated words inserted into grammatical slots. Regarding the usage of delexicalized verbs (do, make, take, have) and their fixed collocations, mark T for true and F for false:

(__) The verb "make" is correctly collocated in expressions such as "make a decision", "make an effort", and "make progress", often implying creation or producing a result.
(__) The verb "do" is typically used with tasks, work, and general activities, forming correct collocations in "do a favor", "do business", and "do research".
 (__) The expression "take a mistake" is a standard collocation in academic English, synonymous with "commit an error".
(__) The verb "have" is used to describe events or experiences, as seen in "have a look", "have a party", and "have a meeting".

After analysis, select the alternative that presents the correct sequence of the items above, from top to bottom:

Q3790082 Inglês
Phrasal verbs consist of a verb plus a particle (preposition or adverb) and often exhibit semantic opacity, posing challenges for learners regarding separability and transitivity. Regarding the syntactic rules of phrasal verbs, mark T for true and F for false:

(__) "Look up" (meaning to search for information) is a transitive separable phrasal verb, allowing the object to be placed between the verb and the particle (e.g., "Look the word up").
(__) "Run into" (meaning to meet by chance) is a transitive inseparable phrasal verb, meaning the object must follow the particle (e.g., "I ran into him", not "I ran him into").
(__) "Wake up" is exclusively intransitive and can never take a direct object in any context.
(__) If the object of a separable phrasal verb is a pronoun (e.g., it, them), it must be placed between the verb and the particle (e.g., "Turn it on", not "Turn on it").

Q3790081 Inglês
Prepositions in English are notoriously difficult due to their polysemous nature and their role in fixed expressions or dependent relationships with verbs and adjectives. Regarding the correct usage of dependent prepositions in formal contexts, mark T, for true and F, for false:

(__) The CEO was accused of embezzlement and had to comply with the regulations.
(__) The new software is superior to the old version, but it is not compatible with the hardware.
(__) She is responsible for the project and specializes on marketing strategies.
(__) We must prevent him from making a huge mistake.

Brazil

Brazil is a leader in entrepreneurship*, with an estimated one in eight adults being “entrepreneurs.” Much of the business that occurs in Brazil is done by single businesspeople either selling their homemade goods or providing their services. Foreign entrepreneurship is a bit of a rarity in Brazil. It is simple for a local businessperson to open a business by, in most cases, circumventing the typical red tape* associated with starting a business. The regulatory boards are so poorly managed and so open to bribes* that local entrepreneurs can easily sneak by without following proper procedure. For foreign businesspeople it is much more difficult. Foreigners draw attention to themselves (by merely being foreigners) and therefore fall prey to greater scrutiny. It is imperative for the foreign businessperson to hire a good “despachante” or broker to handle their interactions with government officials.

The word “despachante” is written in italics in the original text to emphasize its informal status in English, and its function as a slang term rather than a formal title.

The verb form in the clause “Foreigners draw attention to themselves” is incorrect because it should agree with “Foreigners” as a plural noun, and therefore should be “draws.”

In the sentence “Foreign entrepreneurship is a bit of a rarity in Brazil,” the use of the expression “a bit of a” serves to soften the meaning of “rarity,” implying that foreign entrepreneurship is uncommon, though not entirely absent.

This sentence demonstrates a grammatically correct use of the comparative form of the adjective “difficult,” as well as the proper comparative structure involving “than,” being appropriate when contrasting two items. The inclusion of the definite article "the" before "last one" does not alter the correctness of the comparison structure.

Q3788892 Inglês
In the sentence “You will help keep me on solid ground”, the use of the auxiliary verb “will” correctly indicates that the speaker is referring to a voluntary or predicted action that is expected to occur in the future, thereby conforming to the structure and semantic intention of the Future Simple tense, which typically follows the pattern subject + will + base form of the verb.

Q3788891 Inglês
he meme implicitly promotes a prescriptive view of language by suggesting that teenagers should eliminate the repeated use of “like” in casual speech. From a sociolinguistic standpoint, this reflects an understanding of language variation that values standard forms over vernacular expressions, disregarding the sociocultural role that fillers and discourse markers play in identity construction and group belonging. Consequently, the humor masks an underlying linguistic bias.

In the meme’s humorous complaint about the overuse of “like” in teenage speech, the repeated insertion of the word serves as an example of a discourse marker rather than a literal lexical item. From a pragmatic perspective, discourse markers like “like” may fulfill conversational functions such as hedging, approximating, or signaling hesitation. Therefore, despite the perceived redundancy, their presence is not necessarily grammatically incorrect, but rather reflects informal speech strategies.

Ao considerar os princípios da abordagem comunicativa no ensino de Língua Estrangeira, é correto afirmar que, ainda que as estruturas gramaticais permaneçam relevantes para o desenvolvimento linguístico do aluno, sua apresentação deve ocorrer de forma isolada e sistemática, preferencialmente antes da exploração de contextos reais de uso da língua, pois isso garante que o estudante internalize previamente as regras que serão posteriormente aplicadas em situações comunicativas autênticas.
