Q3794772 Português

Leia atentamente o texto a seguir.

A digitalização do cotidiano transformou de forma irreversível a maneira como nos relacionamos com o conhecimento. Antes, bibliotecas e arquivos físicos eram referências quase incontestáveis; hoje, a Internet oferece acesso instantâneo a informações diversas, ainda que nem sempre verificadas. Esse fenômeno, paradoxalmente, amplia a democratização do saber e intensifica os desafios da filtragem crítica.

Nas universidades, professores e pesquisadores debatem os impactos dessa mudança. Alguns argumentam que a facilidade de acesso favorece o aprendizado autodidata e a interdisciplinaridade, permitindo que estudantes conectem áreas de estudo de forma inédita. Outros, porém, alertam para a superficialidade das consultas rápidas e a tendência de aceitar dados sem o devido escrutínio, comprometendo a qualidade da formação acadêmica.

Além disso, práticas de leitura e escrita foram profundamente afetadas. A leitura extensiva, crítica e reflexiva — aquela que exige tempo e envolvimento com o texto — concorre com hábitos mais imediatistas, como a leitura fragmentada de notícias ou postagens em redes sociais. No campo da produção textual, observa-se que a síntese e a objetividade ganham relevância, mas que a argumentação complexa e elaborada frequentemente sofre restrições de tempo e espaço.

Em última análise, o desafio contemporâneo não reside apenas na quantidade de informação disponível, mas na capacidade de relacioná-la, interpretá-la e transformá-la em conhecimento sólido. Isso exige competências que vão além da memorização, incluindo análise crítica, capacidade de síntese, interpretação de contextos múltiplos e consciência das estratégias de comunicação e persuasão presentes nos textos. Assim, formar leitores e escritores críticos torna-se prioridade, não apenas no ambiente acadêmico, mas na vida cotidiana.

Considerando o texto, assinale a alternativa correta:

A

O texto mantém coerência global ao apresentar um problema central — a digitalização e seus impactos na leitura e produção textual — e desenvolver argumentos e exemplos ao longo dos parágrafos, culminando em uma conclusão que sintetiza as ideias principais.

B

A coesão do texto é comprometida pela alternância entre argumentos favoráveis e contrários ao uso da tecnologia, criando ambiguidade sobre a posição do autor.

C

A análise das práticas de leitura e escrita (parágrafo 3) apresenta ideias desconexas em relação aos demais parágrafos, sendo apenas um comentário periférico sem relação com a tese central.

D

O texto carece de estratégias de progressão argumentativa, limitando-se a enumeração de efeitos da tecnologia sem estabelecer relações lógicas entre eles.

Q3794766 Português

Leia o texto a seguir.
Então, sabe aquele projeto que a gente comentou na reunião passada? Pois é, ele tá andando meio devagar porque várias pessoas não entregaram o que prometeram. Mas eu acho que, se cada um fizer sua parte, a gente consegue finalizar tudo dentro do prazo. Tipo, não é impossível, só precisa de organização mesmo.
Com base no texto acima, analise as afirmativas.
I - O uso de expressões como “tipo” e “sabe aquele projeto” caracteriza marcas linguísticas da linguagem oral, indicando informalidade e presença do falante no enunciado.
II - A ausência de pontuação rigorosa e a presença de conectores coloquiais evidenciam que o texto não respeita plenamente os padrões da linguagem escrita formal, aproximando-se do registro oral.
III - O contexto de produção textual pode ser identificado como comunicativo e situacional, direcionado a colegas de trabalho, em que o emissor assume postura persuasiva e motivadora.
IV - A expressão “não é impossível, só precisa de organização mesmo” indica marca de objetividade típica da linguagem escrita formal, reforçando clareza e neutralidade do texto.
Assinale a alternativa correta:

A

Apenas as afirmativas I e II estão corretas.

B

Apenas as afirmativas I, II e III estão corretas.

C

Apenas as afirmativas II e IV estão corretas.

D

Todas as afirmativas estão corretas.

Q3794765 Português

Considere as afirmativas a seguir sobre termos da oração, à luz da norma-padrão.
I - Em “As crianças brincavam alegremente no jardim”, o termo “no jardim” é adjunto adverbial, logo termo acessório, enquanto “As crianças” exerce a função de sujeito simples.
II - Em “Confiamos em suas palavras”, o sintagma “em suas palavras” é objeto indireto, termo integrante da oração, exigido pela regência do verbo “confiar”.
III - Em “A moça tornou-se médica”, o termo “médica” é predicativo do sujeito, classificado como termo essencial da oração, já que não é regido diretamente pelo verbo.
IV - Em “Precisamos de silêncio absoluto durante a reunião”, o termo “de silêncio absoluto” é objeto indireto, termo integrante da oração, pois o verbo “precisar”, no sentido empregado, exige complemento regido por preposição.
Assinale a alternativa correta:

A

Apenas as afirmativas I, II e IV estão corretas.

B

Apenas as afirmativas I e III estão corretas.

C

Apenas as afirmativas II e IV estão corretas.

D

Todas as afirmativas estão corretas.

Q3794764 Português

Analise o texto abaixo. Surpreendentemente, os cientistas observaram que as abelhas não apenas seguem padrões pré-estabelecidos de voo, mas também ajustam suas rotas conforme mudanças climáticas sutis. Essa capacidade extraordinária sugere que, além de instintos biológicos, existe uma forma primitiva de aprendizado cognitivo. Entretanto, alguns críticos argumentam que tais interpretações podem exagerar a complexidade do comportamento animal, confundindo adaptação com raciocínio deliberado.
Observe as afirmativas a seguir, considerando classes de palavras e funções sintáticas.
I - Em “Surpreendentemente”, o vocábulo atua como advérbio de modo, modificando o verbo “observaram” de forma circunstancial.
II - O termo “cientistas” funciona como sujeito simples da oração principal, sendo um substantivo comum plural.
III - Em “além de instintos biológicos”, o núcleo “instintos” é um substantivo concreto, indicando algo existente no mundo real.
IV - O vocábulo “deliberado” em “raciocínio deliberado” é adjetivo, exercendo função de adjunto adnominal restritivo, qualificando o substantivo “raciocínio”.
Assinale a alternativa correta:

A

Apenas I e II estão corretas.

B

Apenas I, II e IV estão corretas.

C

Apenas II, III e IV estão corretas.

D

Todas as afirmativas estão corretas.

Q3794763 Português

Leia atentamente o texto a seguir.
Há quem insista em afirmar que a tecnologia nos isola. Entretanto, não é raro observar que ela também aproxima: pessoas distantes trocam mensagens em segundos, reuniões virtuais substituem longas viagens, e novos vínculos se criam em redes sociais. O risco talvez não esteja na tecnologia em si, mas no modo como a utilizamos: tanto pode se tornar instrumento de solidão quanto de convivência.
Com base no texto, assinale a alternativa correta:

A

O autor adota postura de rejeição à tecnologia, sustentando que seu efeito isolador é predominante, apesar de reconhecer brevemente usos positivos.

B

O texto apresenta uma estrutura argumentativa dialética: reconhece um ponto de vista (tecnologia como causa de isolamento), contrapõe-lhe outro (tecnologia como promotora de aproximação) e propõe síntese (o problema está no uso).

C

A afirmação de que “não é raro observar que ela também aproxima” constitui um exemplo de pressuposição, pois depende logicamente da aceitação de que, em muitos casos, a tecnologia efetivamente isola.

D

O autor se vale de generalizações absolutas: afirma categoricamente que a tecnologia sempre aproxima ou sempre isola, sem abrir espaço para interpretações intermediárias.

Italians

The peak period of Italian immigration to the United States occurred between 1880 and 1921, when approximately 4.2 million Italians came to America. The vast majority of these immigrants, about 80 percent, hailed from the Mezzogiorno in southern Italy, a region in the midst of great tumult and hardship. Having only been officially unified in 1860, political tension between the government in the north and the rural peasants in the south increased in the 1870s, when the government placed an onerous tax on wheat and salt, which were necessities for southern farmers and fishermen. In the 1880s, disease ravaged both staple and cash crops; malaria and other epidemics also devastated southern Italy during this period. Additionally, a series of earthquakes and the eruptions of Mount Etna and Mount Vesuvius in the early 1900s destroyed cities and killed tens of thousands of people.

Conditions in the United States during this era appeared to be very favorable to many in southern Italy. Wages for both skilled and unskilled laborers in the industrialized US could be three times greater than wages for the same work in the depressed Italian economy. Even illiterate day laborers could find better paying jobs with better working conditions in cities like Boston. In the late nineteenth century, Italian immigrants were often referred to as "birds of passage"−young men who migrated alone, earning money to buy land and support their families at home and eventually returning to Italy. After World War I, however, immigration patterns changed and more Italian immigrants began to bring their families over and put down permanent roots in the region.

Patterns of Settlement

Boston's North End neighborhood became the locus of Italian settlement in eastern New England. Once the home of English colonists and revolutionaries like Paul Revere, Irish and Jewish immigrants settled in the North End before the wave of Italian immigration in the late 1800s. By the early 20th century, the North End was densely filled with tenements, in which tens of thousands of Italians lived. Much of the appeal of the North End for immigrant groups was its proximity to work opportunities on the waterfront and in downtown Boston. By 1920, over 50 percent of Italian immigrants in Boston lived in the North End. Those who could afford more spacious dwellings moved across the harbor to East Boston, which by the mid-twentieth century became the city's largest Italian-American community. Others moved to nearby suburbs such as Somerville, Revere and Saugus, especially after World War II. But even as immigrants and their children moved to these areas, many Italian small businesses and restaurants remained in the North End, and it is still an important center of Italian culture in New England.

Workforce Participation

Most Italian immigrants in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries worked menial, unskilled jobs upon their arrival in Boston, as day laborers, dockworkers, or fruit sellers. Others opened shops and small businesses, and some skilled workers (like tailors) found higher-paying jobs. In neighborhoods like the North End and East Boston, immigrants operated Italian restaurants that attracted a growing clientele from across the city. For the earlier "birds of passage," though, assimilating into the wider American culture was not a priority; for more permanent Italian settlers, cultural obstacles such as the language barrier and lower levels of education made upward mobility difficult. Within a few generations, however, Italian Americans in Boston became better educated and were able to move into middle-class and professional occupations, including some of the highest echelons of business and politics.

In the sentence "Having only been officially unified in 1860, political tension between the government in the north and the rural peasants in the south increased in the 1870s," the use of a non-finite participial clause creates a temporal and causal relationship with the main clause. From a syntactic perspective, this structure exemplifies a form of subordination typical of academic and historical discourse. Which sentence below reproduces an equivalent syntactic pattern?

A

Because Italy was unified, tensions increased.

B

Having suffered long periods of famine, many peasants migrated abroad.

C

Italy had been unified, but tensions still increased.

D

Italy unified, therefore tensions increased.

A

By indicates a temporal limit, while in denotes spatial containment.

B

By expresses purpose, while in expresses instrumentality.

C

By is a discourse marker, and in functions as an infinitive particle.

D

By introduces the agent of the verb, while in introduces comparison.

Once the home of English colonists and revolutionaries like Paul Revere, Irish and Jewish immigrants settled in the North End before the wave of Italian immigration in the late 1800s. By the early 20th century, the North End was densely filled with tenements, in which tens of thousands of Italians lived. Much of the appeal of the North End for immigrant groups was its proximity to work opportunities on the waterfront and in downtown Boston. By 1920, over 50 percent of Italian immigrants in Boston lived in the North End. Those who could afford more spacious dwellings moved across the harbor to East Boston, which by the mid-twentieth century became the city's largest Italian-American community. Others moved to nearby suburbs such as Somerville, Revere and Saugus, especially after World War II. But even as immigrants and their children moved to these areas, many Italian small businesses and restaurants remained in the North End, and it is still an important center of Italian culture in New England.

Workforce Participation

Most Italian immigrants in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries worked menial, unskilled jobs upon their arrival in Boston, as day laborers, dockworkers, or fruit sellers. Others opened shops and small businesses, and some skilled workers (like tailors) found higher-paying jobs. In neighborhoods like the North End and East Boston, immigrants operated Italian restaurants that attracted a growing clientele from across the city. For the earlier "birds of passage," though, assimilating into the wider American culture was not a priority; for more permanent Italian settlers, cultural obstacles such as the language barrier and lower levels of education made upward mobility difficult. Within a few generations, however, Italian Americans in Boston became better educated and were able to move into middle-class and professional occupations, including some of the highest echelons of business and politics.

Italians

The peak period of Italian immigration to the United States occurred between 1880 and 1921, when approximately 4.2 million Italians came to America. The vast majority of these immigrants, about 80 percent, hailed from the Mezzogiorno in southern Italy, a region in the midst of great tumult and hardship. Having only been officially unified in 1860, political tension between the government in the north and the rural peasants in the south increased in the 1870s, when the government placed an onerous tax on wheat and salt, which were necessities for southern farmers and fishermen. In the 1880s, disease ravaged both staple and cash crops; malaria and other epidemics also devastated southern Italy during this period. Additionally, a series of earthquakes and the eruptions of Mount Etna and Mount Vesuvius in the early 1900s destroyed cities and killed tens of thousands of people.

Conditions in the United States during this era appeared to be very favorable to many in southern Italy. Wages for both skilled and unskilled laborers in the industrialized US could be three times greater than wages for the same work in the depressed Italian economy. Even illiterate day laborers could find better paying jobs with better working conditions in cities like Boston. In the late nineteenth century, Italian immigrants were often referred to as "birds of passage"−young men who migrated alone, earning money to buy land and support their families at home and eventually returning to Italy. After World War I, however, immigration patterns changed and more Italian immigrants began to bring their families over and put down permanent roots in the region.

A

Both adjectives work as verbal complements referring to climate and

B

Great functions as an intensifier of negative evaluation, and southern expresses geographic reference.

C

Great denotes size, while southern indicates direction, with no evaluative meaning attached.

D

Great and southern act as post-modifiers that rephrase nominal information metaphorically.
