For a literary unit, a teacher selects a Nigerian short story
in English, a Jamaican poem, and a Canadian graphic
narrative. The objective is to broaden students' literary
repertoire while preventing the works from being treated
as transparent summaries of entire national cultures.

Q4337361
Pedagogia
Students listen to English used by speakers from several
linguistic and cultural backgrounds in interviews,
academic exchanges, tourism, and online collaboration.
The teacher wants to address variation without
presenting cultural groups as internally homogeneous.
Considering an intercultural approach to English teaching, mark T, for true, and F, for false.
(__)Variation in pronunciation and lexical choice can be examined in relation to context, identity, and communicative purpose rather than automatically classified as communicative failure.
(__)Respect for linguistic diversity requires avoiding work on intelligibility because criteria of mutual understanding necessarily establish a single accent as the norm.
(__)Intercultural activities may investigate how participants negotiate meanings and identities without assigning fixed behavioral characteristics to entire national groups.
(__)Authentic materials containing unfamiliar varieties should be linguistically standardized before classroom use so that variation does not interfere with learning.
After analysis, select the alternative that presents the CORRECT sequence of the items above, from top to bottom.

A teacher uses short exchanges to show that modal
constructions cannot be interpreted through a single
Portuguese equivalent. Students must consider tense,
aspect, and communicative context when determining the
meaning conveyed.
Regarding the modal constructions below, mark T, for true, and F, for false.
(__)"She must have left already" can express a strong inference about a past event.
(__)"You should have checked the attachment" normally presents the checking as an action successfully completed in accordance with advice.

Consider the sentence below.
"By the time the inspectors arrived, the team had been testing the system for three hours, and they have since revised the protocol twice."
The forms establish different temporal reference points rather than merely identifying past and present events.
Analyze the statements below.
I."Had been testing" represents an activity already in progress before the inspectors arrived and emphasizes its preceding duration.
II."Have since revised" relates subsequent revisions to a period extending to the speaker's present reference point.
III."Arrived" establishes an event that occurred before the beginning of the testing process.

'Simply astonishing': Experts just found a massive
lost civilisation hiding in the Amazon
A civilisation that may have once numbered up to 3
million people has been uncovered beneath the Amazon
rainforest's dense canopy, according to a new study.
Researchers used LIDAR − a technology that fires pulses
of laser light through gaps in the forest canopy to map
the ground below − to survey more than 4,400km of the
southwestern Amazon Basin. The findings were
published in Nature.
Archaeologists now believe the Aquiry civilisation, which
lived in the region from roughly 600BCE to 850CE, may
have been around three times larger than previously
expected. At its peak, their society may have numbered
1.25 −3 million people.
The survey uncovered thousands of geometric patterns
built into the Earth, known as geoglyphs, which take
various shapes including circles and squares and appear
to be connected by straight roads or pathways.
"The scale and precision of these constructions are
simply astonishing," lead author and University of
Helsinki archaeologist, Prof Martti Pärssinen, told BBC
Science Focus.
"Based on LiDAR surveys covering 4,500 km², we
estimate that the entire 183,000 km² Aquiry region may
contain approximately 24,000 to 30,000 earthworks
linked by hundreds of roads, revealing a scale of
landscape modification previously unimaginable for this
part of Amazonia."
Before LIDAR technology was able to peek through the
trees, experts could only investigate deforested areas of
the Amazon − fuelling a mistaken belief that only the
rainforest's sparser regions had been settled by humans,
and not its denser parts.
"These findings suggest that many other regions across
Amazonia may likewise have been far more densely
populated and intensively modified than previously
assumed, challenging the long-standing view of the
rainforest as a largely untouched wilderness," Pärssinen
said.
The next phase of the project is to use the same laser technology to identify tree species that early societies
domesticated − such as those bearing nuts or fruit, and
which continue to grow in the region today.
"We will then investigate how their distribution relates to
different ecosystems, as well as to the locations of
earthworks and ancient road networks," Pärssinen said.
"Simply put, one cannot help but wonder: what else
remains hidden beneath the forest canopy?"

In the expression "a largely untouched wilderness," the
word untouched contributes to the characterization of the
traditional view of the Amazon. Its internal structure also
illustrates a productive process of English word
formation.

'Simply astonishing': Experts just found a massive
lost civilisation hiding in the Amazon
A civilisation that may have once numbered up to 3
million people has been uncovered beneath the Amazon
rainforest's dense canopy, according to a new study.
Researchers used LIDAR − a technology that fires pulses
of laser light through gaps in the forest canopy to map
the ground below − to survey more than 4,400km of the
southwestern Amazon Basin. The findings were
published in Nature.
Archaeologists now believe the Aquiry civilisation, which
lived in the region from roughly 600BCE to 850CE, may
have been around three times larger than previously
expected. At its peak, their society may have numbered
1.25 −3 million people.
The survey uncovered thousands of geometric patterns
built into the Earth, known as geoglyphs, which take
various shapes including circles and squares and appear
to be connected by straight roads or pathways.
"The scale and precision of these constructions are
simply astonishing," lead author and University of
Helsinki archaeologist, Prof Martti Pärssinen, told BBC
Science Focus.
"Based on LiDAR surveys covering 4,500 km², we
estimate that the entire 183,000 km² Aquiry region may
contain approximately 24,000 to 30,000 earthworks
linked by hundreds of roads, revealing a scale of
landscape modification previously unimaginable for this
part of Amazonia."
Before LIDAR technology was able to peek through the
trees, experts could only investigate deforested areas of
the Amazon − fuelling a mistaken belief that only the
rainforest's sparser regions had been settled by humans,
and not its denser parts.
"These findings suggest that many other regions across
Amazonia may likewise have been far more densely
populated and intensively modified than previously
assumed, challenging the long-standing view of the
rainforest as a largely untouched wilderness," Pärssinen
said.
The next phase of the project is to use the same laser technology to identify tree species that early societies
domesticated − such as those bearing nuts or fruit, and
which continue to grow in the region today.
"We will then investigate how their distribution relates to
different ecosystems, as well as to the locations of
earthworks and ancient road networks," Pärssinen said.
"Simply put, one cannot help but wonder: what else
remains hidden beneath the forest canopy?"

The article uses relative clauses to expand noun phrases
and connect information without repeatedly naming the
same referents. Consider the excerpt below and the
syntactic relations established within it.

Regarding the highlighted linguistic structures, mark T, for true, and F, for false.
(__)The word which functions as a possessive relative pronoun and could be replaced by whose without changing the syntactic organization of the clause.
(__)The phrase by straight roads or pathways contains by introducing the element interpreted as connecting the geoglyphs in the passive construction.
(__)The relative pronoun which has geoglyphs as its antecedent and introduces information about their forms and apparent connections.
(__)In various shapes including circles and squares, including introduces examples belonging to the broader category expressed by shapes.
After analysis, select the alternative that presents the CORRECT sequence of the items above, from top to bottom.
