TEXT II
Like Castles In An Aquarium, Offshore Drilling Platforms Are Sprawling With Residents
Just beneath the ocean’s surface, there’s an unseen world that most people will never have the opportunity to witness firsthand. A place where nature and mankind have struck a balance – a mutual respect, a friendship of sorts.
Offshore drilling platforms have become home to vast communities of sea life. Florid carpets of coral encrust their massive pylons, along with sponge, sea urchins, crabs, and snails. Swimming in the sanctuary of their enormous risers are schools of rockfish, bright orange garibaldi and angel fish. And splashing about on the surface is the occasional sea lion.
Now scientists have confirmed what some had suspected all along. Most of the sea life was actually created at the rig rather than having come from other parts of the ocean and settled there, according to the National Academy of Sciences. And fish that would otherwise perish in vast expanses of open ocean, settle within the safety of the structures.
Like castles in an aquarium, offshore platforms are sprawling with underwater residents. Scientists say these are the richest marine ecosystems on the entire planet. They are even more productive than coral reefs and estuaries, according to marine biologists.
The first thing anyone – trained scientist or casual recreational diver – notices around a rig is the big fish -- lots of them, say marine researchers and divers, alike.
For a decade and a half, researchers used submersibles to survey fish at 16 different platforms. When the researchers tabulated the data, they were surprised to discover that, by one standard, California’s oil rigs are among the most productive marine habitats ever recorded.
At the end of their production, however, the offshore rigs must be decommissioned. Scientific insight is adding momentum to efforts to convert some of these rigs into artificial reefs […].

From the sentence “offshore platforms are sprawling with underwater residents” one can infer that:

Read the statements below:
I – Most communities of sea life which cover the drilling platforms have come from the open sea;
II – California’s oil rigs are posing a threat to the most productive marine habitats;
III – Researchers plan to transform the rigs into artificial reefs when they become inactive.
“Se pudéssemos conhecer a história secreta de nossos inimigos, encontraríamos na vida de cada um deles uma história de tristezas e sofrimentos suficientes para desarmar qualquer hostilidade”. (Longfellow)
No pensamento de Longfellow citado na questão anterior há um conjunto de elementos que podem ser trocados de posição sem alteração de sentido; a troca que provoca mudança no significado original é:
“Se pudéssemos conhecer a história secreta de nossos inimigos, encontraríamos na vida de cada um deles uma história de tristezas e sofrimentos suficientes para desarmar qualquer hostilidade”. (Longfellow)
O segmento de oração reduzida “para desarmar qualquer hostilidade” pode ser corretamente nominalizado da seguinte forma:
“Quando me desespero, lembro-me que por toda a história, a verdade e o amor sempre vencem. Existiram assassinos e tiranos e, por um tempo, eles pareceram invencíveis. Mas, no fim, eles sempre caíram. Penso nisso, sempre”. (Gandhi)
Sobre o emprego das vírgulas nesse pensamento de Gandhi, a única afirmativa verdadeira é:
“Fazem-nos modernamente constituições para os povos como se fariam vestidos para as pessoas sem lhes tomar as medidas”. (Marquês de Maricá)
A oração “sem lhes tomar as medidas”, no pensamento do Marquês de Maricá, poderia ser reescrita corretamente na seguinte forma:
“Fazem-nos modernamente constituições para os povos como se fariam vestidos para as pessoas sem lhes tomar as medidas”. (Marquês de Maricá)
A afirmação correta sobre os componentes desse pensamento do Marquês de Maricá é:
“Fazem-nos modernamente constituições para os povos como se fariam vestidos para as pessoas sem lhes tomar as medidas”. (Marquês de Maricá)
O alvo preferencial do Marquês de Maricá, nesse pensamento, é:
Se colocássemos a expressão “comigo mesmo” no plural, a forma correta seria:
“Sou tão competitivo que, se não houver concorrente, disputo comigo mesmo”. (Marcelo Apovian)
Nesse pensamento, a conjunção ‘que’ tem valor de:
“Antes da morte não beatifiques ninguém, pois em seu fim é que se conhece o homem”. (Eclesiastes II, 28)
Se colocássemos a forma verbal ‘Não beatifiques’ na forma positiva, a forma adequada do verbo seria:
O seguinte pensamento seria motivo de queixa das feministas:
O filósofo Francis Bacon disse certa vez: “Foi muito bem pensado, por parte de Esopo: ‘A mosca pousou no eixo da roda da carruagem e disse: “Quanta poeira eu levanto!”
O fabulista Esopo e o filósofo Francis Bacon condenam, nesse texto:
“Um verdadeiro gastrônomo deveria estar sempre pronto para comer, assim como um soldado deveria estar sempre pronto para lutar”.
O termo ‘gastrônomo’ significa “aquele que segue as leis do estômago”, já que o radical ‘gastro’ significava “estômago” na língua grega. Em todas as palavras abaixo está presente o segundo elemento ‘onomo’, com valor de “princípio, lei, normas”. Assinale o vocábulo abaixo, todos de uso corrente, que mostra significado EQUIVOCADO:
Uma maneira fácil de mostrar que a linguagem é interminável é a possibilidade de dizer-se a mesma coisa de múltiplos modos. Assim, o pensamento “Devemos aos gregos a razão ocidental” (Marilena Chauí) pode ser reescrito de várias maneiras, mantendo-se o seu sentido original; a única frase a seguir que modifica o sentido original é:
Um outro pensador, Michel Butor, declarou o seguinte:
“O escritor joga com a linguagem. Mas, ao contrário de se jogar com cartas, com a linguagem a coisa é interminável, porque há milhares de cartas”.
A afirmação INADEQUADA sobre os componentes desse pensamento é:
No pensamento anterior, a afirmação correta sobre os termos “conservador sábio” e “sábio radical” é:
“Um conservador sábio e um sábio radical podem chegar a um acordo. Seus princípios são os mesmos, embora a maneira de pensar seja distinta”.
Nesse pensamento de Samuel Johnson o que aproxima o conservador e o radical é:
