Brazil
Brazil is a leader in entrepreneurship*, with an
estimated one in eight adults being “entrepreneurs.”
Much of the business that occurs in Brazil is done by
single businesspeople either selling their homemade
goods or providing their services. Foreign
entrepreneurship is a bit of a rarity in Brazil. It is simple
for a local businessperson to open a business by, in most
cases, circumventing the typical red tape* associated
with starting a business. The regulatory boards are so
poorly managed and so open to bribes* that local
entrepreneurs can easily sneak by without following
proper procedure. For foreign businesspeople it is much
more difficult. Foreigners draw attention to themselves
(by merely being foreigners) and therefore fall prey to
greater scrutiny. It is imperative for the foreign
businessperson to hire a good “despachante” or broker
to handle their interactions with government officials.

The verb form in the clause “Foreigners draw
attention to themselves” is incorrect because it should
agree with “Foreigners” as a plural noun, and therefore
should be “draws.”

In the sentence “Foreign entrepreneurship is a bit
of a rarity in Brazil,” the use of the expression “a bit of
a” serves to soften the meaning of “rarity,” implying that
foreign entrepreneurship is uncommon, though not
entirely absent.

Based on the text, we can assume that opening a
business in Brazil is always easier for locals than for
foreigners, due to the absence of any regulatory
complications for Brazilians.

Inglês
This sentence demonstrates a grammatically
correct use of the comparative form of the adjective
“difficult,” as well as the proper comparative
structure involving “than,” being appropriate when
contrasting two items. The inclusion of the definite
article "the" before "last one" does not alter the
correctness of the comparison structure.

In the sentence “You will help keep me on solid
ground”, the use of the auxiliary verb “will”
correctly indicates that the speaker is referring to a
voluntary or predicted action that is expected to occur
in the future, thereby conforming to the structure and
semantic intention of the Future Simple tense, which
typically follows the pattern subject + will + base
form of the verb.

Q3788891
Inglês
he meme implicitly promotes a prescriptive view
of language by suggesting that teenagers should
eliminate the repeated use of “like” in casual speech.
From a sociolinguistic standpoint, this reflects an
understanding of language variation that values
standard forms over vernacular expressions,
disregarding the sociocultural role that fillers and
discourse markers play in identity construction and
group belonging. Consequently, the humor masks an
underlying linguistic bias.

In the meme’s humorous complaint about the overuse of “like” in teenage speech, the repeated insertion of the word serves as an example of a discourse marker rather than a literal lexical item. From a pragmatic perspective, discourse markers like “like” may fulfill conversational functions such as hedging, approximating, or signaling hesitation. Therefore, despite the perceived redundancy, their presence is not necessarily grammatically incorrect, but rather reflects informal speech strategies.

Inglês
Ao considerar os princípios da abordagem
comunicativa no ensino de Língua Estrangeira, é
correto afirmar que, ainda que as estruturas
gramaticais permaneçam relevantes para o
desenvolvimento linguístico do aluno, sua
apresentação deve ocorrer de forma isolada e
sistemática, preferencialmente antes da exploração de
contextos reais de uso da língua, pois isso garante que
o estudante internalize previamente as regras que
serão posteriormente aplicadas em situações
comunicativas autênticas.

Text: (Excerpt about sugar consumption and
health implications)
Sugar has never been considered a health food,
but lately, the science against it keeps growing
stronger. New evidence shows going overboard on
the sweet stuff can lead to high cholesterol and blood
pressure […] not to mention excess weight gain.
Problem is most people are eating more sugar
now than they ever have. The average person
consumes about 20 teaspoons of added sugar a day —
300 calories worth! — which is four times more than
the amount recommended by most health experts,
including the American Heart Association. Annually,
all those teaspoons add up to 170 pounds of sugar.
So why are we so addicted to sugar? First off, it
is literally addicting. When you eat something sweet,
you get a surge of dopamine, the chemical in your
brain that brings you pleasure. Added sugar is also
tough to dodge. Sweetener hides in foods that don’t even taste sugary, like breads, sauces and condiments.
What’s more, it’s so hard to decipher the difference
between added sugars and the kinds found naturally
in whole foods. Eating naturally occurring sugars —
like fructose in fruit and lactose in dairy — is
generally considered healthy because they contain
nutrients with metabolic benefits, such as fiber and
antioxidants. Added sugars (sweeteners put into food
for flavor) have no such perks. […]

nonstandard, the adjective form used in “literally
