are missing in the second paragraph of text 1. Alternativa A: far • at • also • only Ou Alternativa B: from • of • only • also Ou Alternativa C: distant • from • near • far Ou Alternativa D: far • of • only • except Ou Alternativa E: from • at • near • also

Qconcursos · Accepted Answer

Alternativa [B] from • of • only • also Resposta correta: B

Tema central: preposições e expressões correlativas em inglês — especialmente "from", a colocação com "headquarters of", e a construção correlativa "not only ... but also".

Resumo teórico (rápido e prático):
- "from" indica origem ou separação espacial: correctly used with distances (e.g., "550 km from the state capital"). (Cambridge Dictionary)
- "headquarters of" é a collocação natural: headquarters of (an organization/region), não *headquarters at/of* dependendo do contexto; aqui precisamos de of para indicar a que região a sede pertence.
- "not only ... but also" é uma estrutura correlativa que exige os dois elementos: "not only" antes do primeiro item e "but also" antes do segundo. Trocar por outras palavras quebra a relação.

Por que a alternativa B está correta:
As quatro lacunas, na ordem, pedem: from • of • only • also.

"Distant 550 km from the state capital..." — indica distância em relação à capital.
  "...it is Headquarters of the Metropolitan Region of Chapecó" — aqui a preposição que liga "headquarters" à entidade é of.
  "...exerts significant influence not only in the Catarinense West..." — começo da correlação.
  "...but also in the Northwest Rio Grande do Sul..." — conclusão da correlação.

Análise das alternativas incorretas (resumo):
- A (far • at • also • only): "far 550 km..." não encaixa; "headquarters at" é menos natural que "headquarters of" aqui; a ordem "also • only" inverte a correlative pair.
- C (distant • from • near • far): mistura incoerente — "near" e "far" trocariam sentido e não formam a correlação "not only... but also".
- D (far • of • only • except): primeiro item inadequado; último item "except" não fecha a correlação correta.
- E (from • at • near • also): segundo item "at" está errado para "headquarters of the Metropolitan Region"; terceiro "near" quebra o sentido e a estrutura comparativa.

Dica de prova / estratégia: Busque collocations (palavras que costumam andar juntas) — ex.: "headquarters of", "distant from", e memorize estruturas correlativas ("not only... but also"). Em questões de lacunas, leia a frase inteira e identifique se há estruturas fixas antes de testar alternativas.

Fontes rápidas: Cambridge Dictionary — entries for "from (distance)", "headquarters", and "not only ... but also".
