“Eldorado

Gaily bedight,

A gallant knight,

In sunshine and in shadow,

Had journeyed long,

Singing a song,

In search of Eldorado.

But he grew old—

This knight so bold—

And o’er his heart a shadow—

Fell as he found

No spot of ground

That looked like Eldorado.

And, as his strength

Failed him at length,

He met a pilgrim shadow—

‘Shadow,’ said he,

‘Where can it be—

This land of Eldorado?’

‘Over the Mountains

Of the Moon,

Down the Valley of the Shadow,

Ride, boldly ride,’

The shade replied,—

‘If you seek for Eldorado!”

― Edgar Allen Poe, The Complete Stories and Poems

A

The pursuit of wealth and material riches, a place where fortunes await those daring enough to seek them.

B

The attainment of deep and profound knowledge, that symbolizes wisdom that is both coveted and challenging to acquire.

C

A place one can only reach through death or one that will bring death down upon the explorer.

D

A faraway and mystical kingdom shrouded in darkness, ruled by a powerful king of the underworld.

E

A hidden treasure in the mountains.

Q3694506 Inglês

A global campaign promoting animal adoption features the slogan “Who rescued Who.” This campaign celebrates the unique bond between a human and a rescued animal.

Q40.png (237×149)

Although often seen on bumper stickers, t-shirts, and social media posts, the slogan “Who rescued Who” is grammatically incorrect. Select the option that provides the CORRECT explanation of the error.

A

The phrase is a rhetorical question, so the grammatical rules of a direct question don't apply.

B

The sentence is in the past tense, so both pronouns should be changed to reflect that, “Whom rescued whom?”

C

The slogan is an interrogative sentence and must have a noun or proper noun as its subject, not a pronoun.

D

The first pronoun, “Who”, is the subject and is correctly in the nominative case, but the second pronoun, “Who”, is the object and should be in the accusative case, making the correct form, “Who rescued whom?”

E

The slogan is grammatically incorrect because it uses a subject pronoun where an object pronoun is needed, but the phrase is a rhetorical question that intentionally uses the informal “who” to emphasize the shared identity of the rescuer and the rescued.

Read the cartoon strip below and answer question

Source: https://bulldogbugle.com/12982/entertainment/calvin-and-hobbes-revenge-of-the-baby-sat-a-boy-and-his-tiger-friend/ Access on: 09.17.2025

In the cartoon, Calvin says: “I sure feel sorry for my tapeworm.” The highlighted expression is an example of a lexical collocation. Which of the following statements CORRECTLY characterizes its use in English?

A

It illustrates a fixed verb–preposition construction whose meaning is literal, not idiomatic, and is frequently used to express empathy toward someone or something.

B

It is an idiomatic collocation interchangeable with “regret about,” and it requires the object to be an abstract noun rather than an animate entity.

C

It belongs to the category of strong collocations where substitution of the verb (feel) by near-synonyms like sense or experience is normally acceptable without altering meaning.

D

It represents a free combination of words with no restrictions, since both “sorry” and “for” can freely combine with a wide variety of verbs in English.

E

It demonstrates a restricted collocation, where sorry collocates with specific verbs (feel, be, sound, look), and the structure tends to convey a pragmatic idea of empathy or mild pity

In the cartoon, Susie tells Calvin: “You'd better not”. How can this expression be CORRECTLY analyzed in terms of form and meaning?

A

It is a Past Perfect prediction, similar in meaning to “You will probably not.”.

B

It is equivalent to the Past Perfect of “would better”, indicating an unreal past situation.

C

It is a polite request structure, interchangeable with “Would you mind not …?”

D

It carries the same force as must not, expressing prohibition rather than advice.

E

It is a semi-modal construction that expresses strong advice or warning, often implying negative consequences if not followed

1. At six, everyone will have left the office.
2. At six, everyone will leave the office.

Which statement CORRECTLY explains the difference between them?

A

(1) emphasizes a routine behavior, while (2) emphasizes a one-time future perfect event.

B

(1) presents the leaving as an action already completed by six o'clock, while (2) presents it as an action scheduled to happen at six o'clock.

C

(1) is ungrammatical because the Future Perfect cannot be used with a specific time expression, while (2) is the natural choice.

D

(1) indicates probability, while (2) indicates certainty.

E

(1) and (2) are stylistic variants of the same idea, with no real difference in meaning

Q3694502 Inglês

In the sentence “He has been being difficult for some time” the CORRECT way to evaluate the use of the verb be in this context is:

A

The construction is possible, since be is polysemous: so it can be used dynamically when someone deliberately assumes a characteristic or behavior. In this case, “being difficult”suggests intentional conduct.

B

The sentence is entirely ungrammatical because be is a stative verb and stative verbs cannot appear in progressive forms.

C

The sentence is perfectly idiomatic, as be is freely used in the progressive aspect whenever duration is emphasized. This usage is natural English.

D

The sentence should be reformulated using the Present Perfect Simple, because be never carries a dynamic reading. The natural correction is: “He has been difficult for some time.”

E

The progressive aspect here indicates passivity. The intended meaning is passive, so the corrected sentence should be: “He has been being treated as difficult for some time.”

A

The particle functions as a preposition, introducing the object of the verb.

Read the text 2 and answer question

Text 2

The concept of World Englishes highlights the diversification of English into different and locally grounded varieties. Rather than being seen as mere deviations from a single “standard,” forms such as Indian English or Nigerian English show how English adapts to sociolinguistic contexts shaped by multilingualism and postcolonial histories. These localized varieties differ in vocabulary, pronunciation, pragmatics, and even grammar, yet remain systematic and rule-governed. Recognizing this reality questions the idea of a single, uniform English and reframes the language as having multiple centers of influence. For teaching, this means that instead of promoting only one model, English education should engage critically with linguistic diversity and with the social and cultural values attached to different varieties.

Source: Kachru, Braj B., Kachru, Yamuna, Nelson, Cecil L. The Handbook of World Englishes. Australia: Blackwell Publishin. 2006. (Adapted)

Pedagogically, the recognition of English as pluricentric entails that:

A

Teachers must standardize students' speech to align with either British or American norms in order to ensure global intelligibility

B

Language teaching should expose learners to diverse varieties while fostering critical awareness of power relations among them.

C

The focus of instruction should shift toward teaching local vernaculars in place of international Englishes.

D

Varieties that diverge at the syntactic level cannot be considered systematic or valid for classroom purposes.

E

The ideological dimensions of English varieties are secondary to purely structural linguistic features in pedagogy
