Read the text below and answer question based on the information provided.

    “Research suggests that detecting false information is difficult. When we encounter new information, we tend to focus on understanding it and deciding what to do next, rather than evaluating it for accuracy. It takes effort to compare new information with what we already know; when new information is false but plausible, we can learn it as fact. Several factors may increase our susceptibility to misinformation.
    People are more likely to believe misinformation if it comes from in-group sources rather than out-group ones, or if they judge the source as credible. The emotional content of misinformation plays a role as well: People are more likely to believe false statements that appeal to emotions such as fear and outrage. They are also more likely to believe misinformation that paints opponents in a negative light than they are to believe misinformation that is negative about their own in-group. Finally, people are more likely to believe repeated information, even when it contradicts their prior knowledge. These findings suggest that it is important to stop misinformation early.
    Susceptibility to misinformation shows individual differences based on experience. For example, educational attainment, analytical reasoning, and numeracy skills can increase resistance to misinformation, while anxiety increases a person’s likelihood of believing it. Older adults may be better at identifying misinformation than younger adults, yet older adults are also more likely to see and share false information on social media. Many of these effects are modest, and a key conclusion from the existing literature is that belief in misinformation does not always lead to changes in a person’s attitudes, intentions, or behaviors. In other words, what we believe does not always translate into what we do.
    Many of these studies were conducted in laboratory and other controlled settings, so more research is needed in real-world contexts to determine the full impact of misinformation on behavior and health.”

Q3911118 Inglês
The mastery of fundamental grammatical structures and vocabulary is the basis for communicative competence in English. Concerning the use of verb tenses and word formation in English, register T for true statements and F for false statements:

(__)The Present Perfect tense is used to describe actions that happened at a specific time in the past, always requiring the use of precise dates like 'last Friday at 2 PM'.
(__)Prefixes and suffixes are used in English to change the meaning or the word class of a base word, such as adding '-ness' to an adjective to form a noun.
(__)The use of modal verbs like 'can', 'must' and 'should' allows the speaker to express different degrees of possibility, obligation and advice in a conversation.
(__)Passive voice is formed by using the verb 'to be' and the past participle of the main verb, focusing more on the action itself than on the person who performed it.

After the analysis, choose the alternative that presents the correct sequence:

Leia o texto a seguir para responder à questão.


    Folklore and fairytales have been examined as effective means for teaching culture in a foreign language because they are an integral part of people’s everyday life. Morain (1997) proposed the idea that folklore is superior to literary writing because it depicts the attitudes of large groups of people. Gholson and Stumpf (2005) believe that folklore might help promote cultural dialogue in which L2 learners gain respect for differences between their native culture and L2 culture, as well as acknowledge the similarities in both cultures. Akpinar and Ozturk (2009) suggest that folklore can be taught in an L2 classroom through an inquiry approach: folklore engages the students in exploring the theme and structure of a folktale, relating these to their L1 background knowledge, and then drawing conclusions about the target culture, its beliefs, values, lifestyles, history, etc.
