Round Up: New William Hodgson Editions

    The British Library's Tales of the Weird series has arguably been leading the charge in the mainstream reissuing of classic and obscure weird works, issuing thoughtfully curated collections on a near-monthly basis since July 2018. At time of writing, there have been over 60 volumes released under this imprint, with many more lined up.
    Not only was a collection of William Hope Hodgson's short stories an early inclusion (The Weird Tales of William Hope Hodgson, April 2019), but Hodgson is unique in having had two of his novels issued in the same line The House on the Border/and (October 2023) and The Níght Land (May 2024), both with an introduction by Ann VanderMeer. Only a handful of novels have been published in the Tales of the Weird series (the vast majority oÍ volumes are short story collections), so it is remarkable that two of WHH's novels have been chosen for inclusion.
    Penguin books have recently gotten in on the action, launching their own Penguin Weird Fiction range in October last year. Five books were published simultaneously - Hodgson's The House on the Borderland again being included - all with cover art "inspired by 1970s Penguin genre paperbacks". This isn't the first time Borderland has been published by Penguin: it was included as part of their (seemingly inconsistently labelled) Red Classics / Gothic Classics series back in 2008. At any rate, it's great to see Hodgson back in print with such a high profile publishing house.

Based on the text, identify which of the following synonym substitutions are True (T) or False (F) in context:

( ) In the first paragraph, the word "obscure" could be accurately replaced by "vague," as it refers to a confusing writing style rather than the fame of the works.
( ) In the first paragraph, the word "imprint" could be accurately replaced by "brand," referring to the specific sub-label under which the books are published.
( ) In the third paragraph, the word "simultaneously" could be accurately replaced by "concurrently," describing the release of five books at the same time.
( ) In the second paragraph, the word "handful" could be accurately replaced by "fistful," as both imply the same metaphorical quantity in a literary context.

Which alternative CORRECTLY fills in the parenthesis above?

In writing, passive voice is a strategic tool used to control focus. Based on the text, analyze the statements below:

I. The phrase "being included" (third paragraph) uses a passive structure to emphasize The House on the Borderland as the recipient of the action, while the agent (the publisher) remains implied.
II. "Were published simultaneously" (third paragraph) employs the passive voice to shift the focus to the books themselves, rather than the act of the publisher.
III. "Many more lined up" (first paragraph) functions as a reduced passive structure, highlighting the status of future volumes without naming the specific arranger.
IV.The phrase "launched their own Penguin Weird Fiction range" (third paragraph) is an example of the active voice, where the subject (Penguin Books) clearly performs the action.

The CORRECT statements are:

(__) O termo "hardly" funciona como um advérbio de intensidade com carga semântica negativa, não guardando relação de significado com o advérbio de modo "hard", que descreve a aplicação de esforço ou força.
