I. "Look forward to" é um verbo phrasal-prepositional de três partes e é inseparável, de modo que o objeto deve ocorrer após a cadeia de partículas.
II. No phrasal verb "turn on" (transitivo e separável), quando o objeto é um pronome (por exemplo, it), ele deve ser colocado entre o verbo e a partícula.
III. Prepositional verbs como "rely on" permitem que o objeto seja colocado antes da preposição (por exemplo, rely it on) para dar ênfase.
Está correto o que se afirma em:
(__) O sufixo "-ment" é um afixo que muda a classe gramatical, normalmente transformando verbos em substantivos (por exemplo, develop → development).
(__) O prefixo "un-" altera a classe gramatical da palavra-base (por exemplo, transformando um adjetivo em verbo).
(__) O sufixo "-ize" (ou "-ise") é utilizado para derivar verbos a partir de substantivos ou adjetivos (por exemplo, modern → modernize).
(__) Em inglês, os prefixos geralmente alteram a classe da palavra, enquanto os sufixos geralmente alteram apenas o significado.
A sequência correta de cima para baixo é:
I. In the sentence "The window broke," the verb functions intransitively with a passive meaning, despite having active morphology and no explicit agent.
II. Ergative verbs require an agent in the subject position to be grammatically correct in the active voice.
III. "The book reads well" is an example of a middle voice construction where the grammatical subject undergoes the action.
Select the correct analysis:
I. In the expression "odds and ends," the word order is fixed and cannot be reversed to "ends and odds" without losing idiomaticity.
II. The expression "back and forth" implies a movement, whereas "forth and back" is the standard form used in formal British English.
III. Reversing binomials like "bread and butter" to "butter and bread" is grammatically incorrect and disrupts the semantic unity.
Select the correct analysis:
(__) Expository texts aim primarily to inform, explain, or describe a subject to the reader without necessarily persuading them.
(__) Argumentative texts must strictly avoid subjective modalities, evaluative adjectives, or first-person pronouns.
(__) Editorials fall primarily under the expository category as they objectively report facts without taking a stance.
(__) Academic essays typically combine the exposition of facts with the argumentation of a specific thesis or viewpoint.
The correct sequence, from top to bottom, is:
(__) "In spite of" is considered a complex preposition that functions grammatically in the same way as the simple preposition "despite".
(__) "Regarding" and "concerning" are participles that have evolved to function as simple prepositions.
(__) "Because" is a preposition, whereas "because of" acts as a subordinating conjunction introducing a clause.
(__) "Due to" traditionally functions adjectivally (following "be"), while "owing to" functions adverbially, though this distinction is blurring.
The correct sequence, from top to bottom, is:
(__) "Much" and "far" are grammatically correct intensifiers for comparative adjectives (e.g., "much better").
(__) "Very" can modify strong or ungradable adjectives like "exhausted" or "freezing".
(__) "Hardly" is an adverb of manner meaning "with a lot of effort" or "energetically".
(__) The adverb "enough" must always follow the adjective or adverb it modifies (e.g., "good enough").
The correct sequence, from top to bottom, is:
I.Subordination creates a hierarchy of information, allowing the writer to background less important information (in the dependent clause) and foreground the main point (in the independent clause).
II.Heavy nominalization, often associated with subordination, tends to decrease lexical density, making the text resemble spoken language more closely.
III.Coordination links clauses of equal grammatical status, which can sometimes lead to ambiguity regarding the logical relationship between ideas if explicit connectors are not used.
Choose the alternative that indicates the correct statement(s).
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.
