Question

NO KID-DING Why you should never let your kids take a
bag on the plane − even if it's free
 (§ 1) A TRAVEL expert has revealed you should never let
your kids bring a bag on the plane if you want a
stress-free journey.
 (§ 2) Experienced flyer, Vanessa Grant recommends
parents don't let their kids take a bag with them after
sharing her recent experience of travelling with her kids -
aged 8 and 11.
 (§ 3) "Smart packing is what really saved us," she said.
 (§ 4) Vanessa did two long-haul flights with her family
from Canada to Indonesia which went smoothly because
the kids didn't have bags, she claims.
 (§ 5) It is important to "instil a sense of responsibility" in
kids however, it is not worth the stress of tracking down a
lost backpack __ a busy international airport, according
 to the travel expert.
 (§ 6) Vanessa explained: "The stakes are just too high
and even replacing a charging cord can be pricey at a
duty-free shop, let alone a whole backpack's worth of
stuff."
 (§ 7) It is also important to bring the right type of carry-on
when travelling with your family, to make your life a lot
easier.
 (§ 8) A small rolling suitcase is perfect for long-haul
flights and "is like the clown car of carry-ons".
 (§ 9) Vanessa added: "It fits a change of clothes for three
 of us, plus toiletries and some snacks."
 (§ 10) Instead of storing your carry-on in the overhead
bins you should put it __ the seat of your shortest child so
they'll be able to rest their feet on it, Vanessa
recommends.
(§ 11) This clever hack will stop your child from
complaining as it is "uncomfortable to have your legs
hanging for hours".
 (§ 12) Packing a change of clothes for everyone will
ensure you have a smoother journey, according to the
experienced flyer.
 (§ 13) "Spills and vomiting can happen to anyone," she
said.
 (§ 14) Vanessa added: "One of my kids lost multiple
socks __ the plane and in the hotel.
 (§ 15) "Luckily most airlines give passengers a little
package including a toothbrush and toothpaste, ear
plugs, an eye mask and socks so we had a few extra
pairs."
 (§ 16) Bringing snacks for your kids can end up saving a
lot of money as they likely won't eat all the food offered
 by airlines, "unless your child is a unicorn".
 (§ 17) Vanessa also recommends bringing an empty
water bottle you can fill up before getting on the plane.
 (§ 18) Most kids on flights are thrilled to get "hours of
uninterrupted screen time, both on their tablets and the screens on the back of seats in front of them".
 (§ 19) However, screens even for kids can get old
quickly.
 (§ 20) Parents should bring alternative activities for their
children.
 (§ 21) Vanessa brought a book, notepad and pens which
kept them entertained throughout the flight.
 (§ 22) Forgetting either your charger or headphones can
spoil the whole journey, the travel expert claims.
 (§ 23) Parents will need the chargers to make sure their
children can stay entertained on the screens.
 (§ 24) "We brought headphones for everyone," Vanessa
said.
 (§ 25) She added: "No one—including you—wants to
hear the sound effects from your kid's favourite video
game for hours on end."

Alternativa [B] "Most kids on flights are thrilled to get 'hours of
uninterrupted screen time, both on their tablets and
the screens on the back of seats in front of them'" (§
18). Tema central da questão: Identificação do advérbio em trechos do texto, verificando compreensão sobre a função e reconhecimento dessa classe de palavras em inglês.

Conceito-chave: Advérbios modificam verbos, adjetivos ou outros advérbios, indicando modo (quickly), tempo (now), lugar (here), frequência (always), grau (very), entre outros. O reconhecimento de advérbios é recorrente em provas para cargos de Professor de Inglês.

Justificativa e análise das alternativas:

A) “Spills and vomiting can happen to anyone...”
- Não apresenta advérbio, pois não há palavra modificando o verbo com a ideia de modo, tempo, lugar etc.

B) "Most kids on flights are thrilled to get 'hours of uninterrupted screen time..."
- Análise: Apesar da aparência, "uninterrupted" não é advérbio, mas um adjetivo qualificando "screen time". O advérbio correspondente seria "uninterruptedly", que não se encontra no texto.

C) “Vanessa brought a book, notepad, and pens which kept them entertained...”
- O termo “throughout the flight” é uma locução prepositiva, não um advérbio.

D) "However, screens even for kids can get old quickly"
- Correta! Aqui vemos claramente o advérbio quickly (rapidamente). Ele modifica o verbo “get”, indicando o modo/velocidade com que as telas podem se tornar cansativas.

E) “It fits a change of clothes for three of us...”
- Não há advérbio neste trecho, apenas substantivos e preposição.

Estratégia de resolução:
Ao analisar alternativas, busque palavras terminadas em "-ly" (nem todas são advérbios, mas muitas são), verifique se o termo acrescenta circunstância ao verbo, adjetivo ou outro advérbio. Atenção para não confundir adjetivos com advérbios (erros comuns em provas, como neste exercício).

Referência teórica: Livros como “English Grammar in Use” (Murphy) e “Collins Easy Learning English Grammar” abordam detalhadamente a diferença entre adjetivos e advérbios, auxiliando na identificação segura dessas classes de palavras.

Conclusão: A alternativa D é a correta, pois apresenta um advérbio ("quickly") que cumpre seu papel gramatical de modificar “get”. Revise sempre esse tipo de detalhe para evitar arrependimentos em provas!
