Q3893504 Inglês
A voz passiva (Passive Voice) é uma estrutura gramatical em Língua Inglesa usada para mudar o foco da sentença. Enquanto a voz ativa enfatiza quem pratica a ação (agente), a voz passiva enfatiza quem recebe a ação (paciente) ou a própria ação, muitas vezes omitindo o agente. A sua formação correta exige o uso do verbo "to be" no tempo verbal adequado, seguido do particípio passado do verbo principal.

Acerca das regras e usos da voz passiva, marque V, para as afirmativas verdadeiras, e F, para as falsas:

(__)Na transformação da ativa ("The company hired new employees.") para a passiva ("New employees were hired by the company."), o objeto da voz ativa torna-se o sujeito da voz passiva.
(__)A voz passiva só pode ser formada com verbos transitivos (que pedem objeto); verbos intransitivos (como *arrive* ou *sleep*) não podem ser usados na voz passiva. 
(__)Para formar a voz passiva no *Present Perfect* (e.g., "The manager has seen the report"), a estrutura correta é "The report has been seen by the manager".
(__)O agente da passiva (introduzido por "by") é frequentemente omitido, especialmente quando o agente é desconhecido, óbvio ou irrelevante para a informação principal.

Q3893501 Inglês
O *Present Perfect* (e.g., *I have studied*) é um tempo verbal em inglês que conecta o passado ao presente, sendo um ponto de grande dificuldade para falantes de português, que tendem a usar o passado simples. O *Present Perfect* é usado para descrever ações que começaram no passado e continuam até o presente (especialmente com *for* e *since*), ações que ocorreram em um tempo não especificado no passado mas que têm relevância presente, ou experiências de vida.

Assim, analise as afirmativas a seguir:

I.O *Present Perfect* é usado com "since" para indicar o ponto de início da ação (e.g., *She has lived here since 2010*) e com "for" para indicar a duração da ação (e.g., *She has lived here for ten years*).
II.A estrutura "I *have visited* Paris" (Present Perfect) é usada para relatar uma experiência de vida, sem especificar quando ocorreu, enquanto "I *visited* Paris last year" (*Simple Past*) é usada para uma ação em tempo determinado no passado.
III.O *Present Perfect* e o *Simple Past* são totalmente intercambiáveis, podendo "I have seen the movie" ser usado no lugar de "I saw the movie yesterday" sem qualquer alteração de sentido.

Está correto o que se afirma em:

Q3893488 Inglês
Os verbos modais (modal auxiliary verbs) são um componente central da frase verbal em inglês, utilizados para expressar uma variedade de nuances de significado, como habilidade, permissão, obrigação, possibilidade ou dedução. Eles possuem características gramaticais distintas dos verbos principais, como a ausência de "-s" na terceira pessoa do singular e o fato de serem seguidos por um infinitivo sem "to". O uso de "must", "might" e "can't" para expressar diferentes graus de certeza ou dedução é um exemplo de sua aplicação. Assinale a alternativa que descreve corretamente o uso desses verbos modais para dedução lógica sobre uma situação presente.

Q3893487 Inglês
 O Discurso Indireto (*Reported Speech* ou *Indirect Speech*) é a estrutura usada para relatar o que outra pessoa disse, sem citar suas palavras exatas. Esse processo geralmente envolve mudanças nos tempos verbais (chamado *backshift*), nos pronomes e nos advérbios de tempo e lugar, para adequar a fala relatada ao novo contexto temporal e espacial do narrador.

Acerca das regras de transformação do discurso direto para o indireto, marque V, para as afirmativas verdadeiras, e F, para as falsas:

(__)Ao relatar uma fala, o *Simple Present* do discurso direto ("I *work* here") geralmente muda para o *Simple Past* no indireto ("He said he *worked* there").
(__)O *Simple Past* do discurso direto ("I *saw* the movie") geralmente muda para o *Past Perfect* no indireto ("She said she *had seen* the movie").
(__)Advérbios de tempo e lugar também mudam para refletir a perspectiva do narrador, como "now" mudando para "then" e "here" mudando para "there".
(__)Não é necessário fazer qualquer alteração no tempo verbal se o verbo principal de relato (*reporting verb*) estiver no presente (e.g., "She *says*...").

In the past, people didn’t get the chance to educate themselves. Most people used to work on farms. Yet with time, people started to go to religious institutes like churches and temples to learn. Then, later, after the industrial revolution, even the children of agricultural families were sent to the town to learn how to work with the machinery. With colonization, people also started learning languages and sciences. The most important fact is that all these changes in education happened only in men’s lives. Women were kept at home to do the daily work.

Downstream: Refining and Marketing

While refining is a complex process, the goal is straightforward: to take crude oil, which is virtually unusable in its natural state, and transform it into petroleum products used for a variety of purposes such as heating homes, fueling vehicles and making petrochemical plastics.

Wolcott, Marion Post. Barnsdall oil refinery. Kansas, 1941. 


A number of processes are involved in refining depending on the wanted end product. Hydrotreating is used to remove unwanted elements, such as sulphur and nitrogen from hydrocarbons; cracking breaks molecules into smaller fragments to produce gasoline and other lighter hydrocarbons. The gases produced by cracking are used to create other products like synthetic rubber and plastics. When making gasoline, refiners need high octane numbers to prevent engine knocking. Despite knowing the dangers of lead, tetraethyl lead was added to gasoline in the United States in the 1920s in order to increase the octane. Since the U.S. government banned lead in vehicle gasoline in 1996 as part of the U.S. Clean Air Act, refineries use alkylation and reforming to develop high-octane gasoline.

Driven by pre-salt, oil becomes Brazil's top export

Revenues

The discovery of the pre-salt was so significant for Brazil's oil production potential that it led the government to change the regime that authorized companies to explore the submerged resources.

As a result, the pre-salt areas are governed by the sharing regime. Under this model, surplus oil production—the balance after covering costs—is divided between the company and the Brazilian government. During the auction that authorizes exploration, the company offering the highest share of profits to the federal government is granted the right to explore.

This is distinct from the concession model, which applies to the post-salt period. In this system, the risk of investment and exploration lies with the concessionaire, who becomes the owner of all the oil and gas that may be discovered. In return, the company pays royalties and special participation fees, particularly for large production fields, in addition to a signature bonus upon winning the auction.

New frontiers

texto_16-20.png (410×332)

With the pre-salt expected to reach its peak in the 2030s, Brazil's oil industry, led by Petrobras, is shifting its focus to new oil frontiers that are believed to hold significant production potential.

One such frontier is the so-called equatorial margin, located off Brazil's northern coast, where exploration is pending a favorable decision from the Brazilian Institute for the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama), an agency under the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change.

Another promising region is the Pelotas Basin, located off Brazil's southern coast. The growing interest in this area is fueled by the discovery of oil wells in Uruguay and off the coasts of Namibia and South Africa. Experts suggest that the geological conditions in these regions are similar, as the continents were once joined tens of millions of years ago.

According to Petrobras, the company plans to invest $79 billion in exploring new oil and gas frontiers by 2029. Of this amount, 40 percent will be allocated to the South and Southeast regions, 38 percent to the equatorial margin, with the remainder directed towards other countries.
