McDonald's sales drop as diners face 'uncertainty'

McDonald's has suffered its biggest drop in US sales since the height of Covid, a fall that it said was driven by people's concerns over the US economy.

Despite a marketing tie-in with the Minecraft movie and extended price deals, US customers made fewer visits to the burger chain in the first three months of this year, compared to a year ago.

Chief executive Chris Kempczinski said customers were "grappling with uncertainty".

But he assured investors that the firm could "navigate even the toughest of market conditions".

McDonald's has been working for months to try to reignite enthusiasm among customers, after facing a backlash over rising prices, especially from lower income households.

However, revenue at US McDonald's outlets that have been open at least a year sank 3.6% in the first three months of 2025 compared to a year earlier.

That is the steepest decline in like-for-like sales in the US since the three months to the end of June 2020 when pandemic restrictions were in place.

The surprise drop in sales coincided with a contraction in the US economy, which shrank at an annual rate of 0.3% in the first three months of 2025, the first quarterly decline in output since 2022.

Reacting to the growth figures, President Trump called for patience, saying he needed "a little bit of time" and described the numbers as a reflection of the "Biden economy", a reference to his predecessor as president.

However, Danni Hewson, head of financial analysis at AJ Bell, said Americans were nervous and cutting back on discretionary spending as a result.

"They're worried prices will rise even higher and that household budgets, already feeling the impact of previous inflation, will be stretched beyond breaking point," she said.

"They're also nervous about the potential for job losses if the economy continues to stutter as businesses try and make sense of an evolving tariff environment."

McDonald's figures reflect the first two months of Donald Trump's presidency, with the reporting period ending just before his barrage of tariff announcements on 2 April.

Dubbed "Liberation Day", that broadside prompted further confusion among many firms and consumers.

Mr Kempczinski said: "Consumers today are grappling with uncertainty, but they can always count on McDonald's [...] for exceptional value".

"McDonald's has a 70-year legacy of innovation, leadership, and proven agility, all of which give us confidence in our ability to navigate even the toughest of market conditions and gain market share," he added.

Over the same three-month period to March, the slump in McDonald's US sales dragged its global like-for-like revenue down 1%, despite growing sales in Japan, Australia, and the Middle East.

Businesses have had a mix of reactions since Trump began revealing and enforcing his plans for tariffs, which are a tax payable by a person or firm buying a good from overseas.

This week, technology giant Intel said costs would rise and a recession was more likely because of Trump's tariffs.

Sportswear brand Adidas said they would lead to higher prices in the US for popular trainers including the Gazelle and Samba.

Meanwhile, delivery giant DHL paused deliveries worth more than $800 (£603) due to US trade policy before lifting them after negotiating "adjustments" to customs rules.

Trump and his allies have said the policies will help to bring more jobs to the US as firms base factories and operations the country to avoid the new taxes.

However, many companies and economists have said this will be difficult to achieve and will likely mean job losses and economic pain at least in the short term.

Q3893506 Inglês
O léxico da Língua Inglesa é vasto e expande-se continuamente através de diversos processos de formação de palavras (word-formation processes). Os mais comuns incluem a afixação (prefixação e sufixação), a composição (compounding) e a conversão (conversion), onde uma palavra muda de classe gramatical sem alteração na forma. Compreender esses mecanismos auxilia o aluno a inferir significados e a expandir seu vocabulário de forma autônoma.

Assim, analise as afirmativas a seguir:

I.A sufixação ocorre quando um morfema é adicionado ao final de uma palavra, podendo alterar sua classe gramatical (e.g., "teach" (verbo) -> "teacher" (substantivo); "happy" (adjetivo) -> "happiness" (substantivo)). 
II.A composição (*compounding*) é o processo de unir duas ou mais palavras existentes para criar uma nova palavra com um novo significado (e.g., "black" + "board" - > "blackboard"; "post" + "office" -> "post office").
III.A conversão (*conversion* ou *zero-derivation*) é o processo onde uma palavra muda sua classe gramatical sem a adição de qualquer afixo (e.g., o substantivo "water" torna-se o verbo "to water"; o substantivo "email" torna-se o verbo "to email").

No ensino de Língua Inglesa, o desenvolvimento da habilidade de leitura (reading) é crucial e envolve a aplicação consciente de diferentes estratégias para otimizar a compreensão. Duas das técnicas mais fundamentais são o *skimming* (leitura rápida para compreensão geral) e o *scanning* (leitura para busca de informações específicas). Embora ambas envolvam uma leitura não linear, seus objetivos e execuções são distintos e devem ser ensinados explicitamente aos alunos para que lidem com gêneros variados, desde notícias até infográficos. Assinale a alternativa que define corretamente a aplicação dessas estratégias.

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.

Q3893503 Inglês
Os pronomes são elementos essenciais da coesão textual em Língua Inglesa, substituindo substantivos e frases nominais. Entre os diversos tipos, destacam-se os pronomes reflexivos (e.g., *myself*, *themselves*), usados quando o sujeito e o objeto da ação são a mesma pessoa, e os pronomes recíprocos (e.g., *each other*, *one another*), usados para indicar uma ação mútua entre dois ou mais sujeitos.

Acerca do uso desses pronomes, marque V, para as afirmativas verdadeiras, e F, para as falsas:

(__)Na sentença "The students are teaching *themselves*", o uso de *themselves* indica que os alunos estão aprendendo sozinhos, sem ajuda externa (uso enfático ou reflexivo).
(__)Na sentença "The students are teaching *each other*", o uso de *each other* indica que o Aluno A ensina o Aluno B, e o Aluno B ensina o Aluno A (ação recíproca).
(__)O pronome "it" é usado exclusivamente para se referir a objetos inanimados, nunca podendo ser usado para falar sobre tempo (weather) ou horas (time).
(__)Os pronomes *each other* e *themselves* são completamente intercambiáveis em todos os contextos, possuindo o mesmo significado.

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.

Q3893500 Inglês
Os falsos cognatos (*false friends*) representam um desafio significativo para falantes de português aprendendo inglês, pois são palavras com grafia ou pronúncia semelhantes nas duas línguas, mas com significados total ou parcialmente diferentes. A familiaridade aparente dessas palavras pode levar a interpretações equivocadas de textos e a erros de comunicação. A conscientização e o estudo ativo desses termos são essenciais no processo de aquisição lexical.

Acerca do tema dos falsos cognatos entre o inglês e o português, marque V, para as afirmativas verdadeiras, e F, para as falsas:

(__)O verbo "pretend" em inglês significa "fingir" ou "simular", não possuindo o mesmo significado do verbo "pretender" (ter a intenção de) em português.
(__)A palavra "actually" em inglês é um sinônimo exato da palavra "atualmente" em português, ambas se referindo ao tempo presente.
(__)A palavra "library" em inglês refere-se a um local onde se compram livros, sendo o cognato exato de "livraria" em português.
(__)O adjetivo "sensible" em inglês é usado para descrever uma pessoa "sensível" ou emotiva, assim como em português.

Q3893499 Inglês
A coesão textual é a propriedade que confere ligação e harmonia entre os elementos de um texto, sendo fundamental para a compreensão leitora e a produção escrita. Na Língua Inglesa, essa coesão é frequentemente estabelecida pelo uso de conectivos (*linking words* ou *conjunctions*), que explicitam as relações lógicas entre as ideias, como adição, contraste, causa ou consequência. O domínio desses conectivos é essencial para a proficiência na língua. Assinale a alternativa que correlaciona corretamente os conectivos às suas funções lógicas.

A correta utilização dos graus comparativo e superlativo dos adjetivos é fundamental para estabelecer relações de comparação e ênfase em Língua Inglesa. As regras de formação variam dependendo do número de sílabas do adjetivo, de sua terminação e da existência de formas irregulares, o que frequentemente gera dúvidas nos aprendizes brasileiros. Compreender essa estrutura é vital para a produção textual e oral precisa.

Assim, analise as afirmativas a seguir: 

I.Adjetivos curtos (geralmente uma sílaba) formam o comparativo de superioridade com a adição de "-er" (e.g., *taller*) e o superlativo com "-est" (e.g., *tallest*), enquanto adjetivos longos (geralmente duas ou mais sílabas) utilizam "more" e "the most" (e.g., *more beautiful*, *the most beautiful*).
II.Existem formas irregulares que não seguem as regras padrão, como "good" (cujo comparativo é *better* e superlativo é *the best*) e "bad" (cujo comparativo é *worse* e superlativo é *the worst*).
III.Todos os adjetivos de duas sílabas, sem exceção, devem obrigatoriamente usar "more" e "the most", seguindo a mesma regra dos adjetivos longos.

Q3893496 Inglês
O inglês, como língua global, apresenta uma vasta variação linguística. Não existe apenas um "inglês", mas múltiplos "World Englishes" (como o britânico, o americano, o indiano, etc.). Além das variações geográficas, surgem variações contextuais, como o *Netspeak* (ou *internetês*), a linguagem adaptada para a comunicação digital (chats, redes sociais), caracterizada pela economia linguística, uso de abreviações, emojis e informalidade.

Assim, analise as afirmativas a seguir:

I.O conceito de Inglês como Língua Global (ou Língua Franca) reconhece que o inglês é usado por falantes não nativos para comunicação internacional, e que a pedagogia deve focar na inteligibilidade mútua, em vez de na imitação de um único modelo nativo (e.g., britânico  americano).
II.O *Netspeak* é caracterizado por recursos como abreviações (e.g., "brb" para *be right back*), uso de *emoticons* ou *emojis* para transmitir tom emocional, e uma tendência à informalidade e economia de digitação, aproximando-se de características da linguagem oral.
III.O ensino de Língua Inglesa no Brasil, segundo a BNCC, deve ignorar a variação linguística e o *Netspeak*, focando exclusivamente na gramática normativa do Inglês Britânico padrão.

O caso genitivo (ou possessivo) em Língua Inglesa, frequentemente marcado pelo apóstrofo seguido de "s" ('s) ou apenas pelo apóstrofo (s'), indica posse ou relação entre substantivos. O uso correto dessa estrutura, em oposição ao uso da preposição "of", depende da natureza do possuidor (animado ou inanimado) e da forma plural do substantivo, sendo uma área comum de dificuldade para aprendizes.

Assim, analise as afirmativas a seguir:

I.A forma 's é primariamente usada para indicar posse com seres animados (pessoas e animais), como em "the student's book" (o livro do aluno) ou "the cat's tail" (o rabo do gato).
II.Embora a estrutura "of the..." (e.g., *the leg of the table*) seja a preferida para posse com objetos inanimados, o genitivo 's é comumente usado com expressões de tempo (e.g., *today's news*), medida ou em casos de personificação.
III.Para substantivos plurais regulares que já terminam em "s", a posse é indicada adicionando outro 's, formando "s's", como em "the students's pencils".

Q3893492 Inglês
Os advérbios, particularmente os de frequência (e.g., *always*, *sometimes*, *never*) e os de modo (e.g., *slowly*, *carefully*), têm regras de posicionamento específicas na frase em Língua Inglesa. A colocação incorreta desses termos, embora muitas vezes não impeça a compreensão, é um marcador gramatical importante. O posicionamento varia dependendo do tipo de verbo (verbo *to be*, verbo principal ou auxiliar).

Assim, analise as afirmativas a seguir:

I.Advérbios de frequência (como *always*, *usually*, *often*) são geralmente posicionados *antes* do verbo principal (e.g., "She *always arrives* late").
II.Quando a frase utiliza o verbo *to be* como verbo principal, o advérbio de frequência é posicionado *depois* dele (e.g., "She *is always* late").
III.Advérbios de modo (como *slowly*, *quietly*), que descrevem *como* a ação é feita, são tipicamente colocados após o verbo principal ou após o objeto direto, se houver (e.g., "He drives *carefully*" ou "He drives the car *carefully*").

Q3893489 Inglês
Os artigos em Língua Inglesa (Definido: *the*; Indefinidos: *a*/*an*) são determinantes que especificam ou generalizam um substantivo. O uso correto é notoriamente difícil para falantes de português, pois as regras diferem, especialmente quanto ao uso do artigo definido (*the*) com substantivos abstratos, genéricos ou nomes próprios, e a escolha entre *a* e *an* dependendo do som inicial da palavra seguinte.

Acerca do uso dos artigos em inglês, marque V, para as afirmativas verdadeiras, e F, para as falsas: 

(__)O artigo indefinido "an" é usado antes de palavras que começam com som de vogal, independentemente da letra (e.g., *an hour*, *an umbrella*), enquanto "a" é usado antes de palavras com som de consoante (e.g., *a university*, *a car*).
(__)O artigo definido "the" é usado para especificar um substantivo que já é conhecido pelo leitor/ouvinte ou que é único em seu contexto (e.g., *The sun is hot*).
(__)Diferente do português, o artigo definido "the" geralmente não é usado antes de substantivos abstratos usados em sentido geral (e.g., *Love is important*, e não *The love is important*) ou nomes próprios de pessoas (e.g., *Mary lives here*, e não *The Mary lives here*).
(__)O artigo "a" é sempre usado antes de substantivos plurais para indicar generalização (e.g., *a books are expensive*).
