Brazil floods: 'I saw people trapped in their
homes crying for help'
Heavy rains in the Brazilian state of Minas
Gerais have caused severe flooding and
landslides, leaving at least 32 people dead. The
cities most affected are Juiz de Fora and Ubá.
In Juiz de Fora, twelve homes were swept away
by a mudslide. In Ubá, a river burst its banks and
flooded several streets. Rescue teams have been
searching for at least 38 people who remain
missing, while shelters have been set up for
thousands of residents who were left homeless.
Meteorologists reported that the amount of rain
that fell in the region during the month was
already double the average normally expected for
February, and additional rainfall was forecast for
the following days.
A resident of Ubá, Lucas Gandra, told BBC
Brasil that he received the first flood warning
early on Tuesday, when a friend called to inform
him that the local river was about to overflow.
According to him, the situation worsened very
quickly.
“At 00:07 the water was overflowing and by
00:20 it was already causing enormous damage.
The water rose very quickly,” he said.
The city, located about 300 kilometers north of
Rio de Janeiro, had previously experienced
flooding in 2019 and 2020, but residents reported
that the current disaster was far more destructive.
Lucas Gandra also described dramatic scenes
during the flooding, recalling that many residents
were trapped in their homes and calling for help.
More than 200 people were rescued by
emergency teams, although some of those who
died had reportedly attempted to help others
during the disaster.
Another resident of Ubá, Carolina Magalhães,
described the situation as “horrific.” She reported
seeing floodwaters carrying debris through the streets, including household items, motorcycles,
and gas cylinders.

The changes to Earth’s natural patterns reveal an interconnected web of ecological systems that are undergoing profound changes beyond what many researchers have predicted. Scientists say the culprit is clear: Ever since the Industrial Revolution, the relentless burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas has been adding heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere, leading to a sharp rise in global temperatures. The hottest year in recorded history was 2024, and each of the 10 warmest years on record have come in the past decade.
Since 1997, when nations agreed to limit planet-warming gases as part of the landmark Kyoto Protocol, humanity has released more greenhouse gases than in all prior history. The temperature rise associated with the growing volume of heat trapping gas has kicked in, and it is continuing to rise. And at the same time, the ability of the planet’s natural systems to absorb planet-warming gases like carbon dioxide appears to be diminishing.

Australia’s first people - known as Aboriginal Australians – have lived on the continental for over 50.000 years. Diverse and culturally distinctive, they are represented by more than 250 distinct language groups spread throughout Australia. About 3 percent of Australia’s population has Aboriginal heritage. But the origins and fate of Australia’s native peoples are still the subject of heated debates – ranging from social disparities to legal representation, and even whether their genocide can really be considered a genocide.

Cohesion in English is achieved through grammatical and
lexical devices, as categorized in the seminal work by
Halliday and Hasan. Regarding the use of substitution
and ellipsis as cohesive mechanisms in discourse, mark
T for True or F for False:
(__) Substitution involves the replacement of one linguistic item by another, such as using "one" to replace a previously mentioned noun.
(__) Ellipsis can be defined as "substitution by zero," where a clause or part of it is omitted because it is understood from the context.
(__) Lexical cohesion is strictly limited to the repetition of the exact same word throughout a paragraph to maintain thematic unity.
(__) Anaphoric reference occurs when a pronoun refers forward to a noun that will only be introduced in the subsequent chapter of the book.
After analysis, choose the alternative that presents the CORRECT sequence:
