Leia o texto a seguir para responder à questão:
Knowledge of a language enables you to combine sounds
to form words, words to form phrases, and phrases to form
sentences. You cannot buy a dictionary or phrase book of
any language with all the sentences of the language. No
dictionary can list all the possible sentences, because the
number of sentences in a language is infinite. Knowing a
language means being able to produce and understand new
sentences never spoken before. This is the creative aspect
of language. Not every speaker can create great literature, but
everybody who knows a language can create and understand
new sentences.
This creative aspect of language is quite easy to illustrate.
If for every sentence in the language a longer sentence can
be formed, then there is no limit to the number of sentences.
If you know English, you have the knowledge to add any
number of adjectives as modifiers to a noun and to form
sentences with indefinite numbers of clauses.
All human languages permit their speakers to increase the
length and complexity of sentences in these ways; creativity is
a universal property of human language.
Our knowledge of language not only allows us to
produce and understand an infinite number of well-formed
(even if silly and illogical) sentences, but also permits us
to distinguish well-formed (grammatical) sentences from
ill-formed (ungrammatical) sentences – or non-sentences.
(Fromkin, Rodman and Hyams, An Introduction to Language, 2013. Adaptado)
A teacher is discussing aspects of knowledge of the
language and creativity, and also introduces the
concept of sentences (grammatically well-formed) and
non-sentences (grammatically ill-formed) discussed by
Fromkin, Rodman and Hyams. Students are asked to
get in groups and discuss the 5 following sentences
to decide which one, among them, can be considered
a non-sentence according to the authors’ view.
Based on this context, select the option that presents
a non-sentence.

Text CG1A7
The United Kingdom (UK) government is developing a
“murder prediction” programme which it hopes can use personal
data of those known to the authorities to identify the people most
likely to become killers. Researchers are alleged to be using
algorithms to analyse the information of thousands of people,
including victims of crime, as they try to identify those at greatest
risk of committing serious violent offences.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) says the scheme will “review
offender characteristics that increase the risk of committing
homicide” and “explore alternative and innovative data science
techniques to risk assessment of homicide”. The project would
“provide evidence towards improving risk assessment of serious
crime and ultimately contribute to protecting the public via better
analysis”, a spokesperson added.
The MoJ hopes the project will help boost public safety, but
campaigners have called it “chilling and dystopian”.
Sofia Lyall, a researcher for Statewatch, the pressure group that
discovered the existence of the project, said: “Time and again, research
shows that algorithmic systems for ‘predicting’ crime are inherently
flawed. This latest model […] will reinforce and magnify the structural
discrimination underpinning the criminal legal system.”
“Like other systems of its kind, it will code in bias towards
racialised and low-income communities. Building an automated
tool to profile people as violent criminals is deeply wrong, and
using such sensitive data on mental health, addiction and disability
is highly intrusive and alarming,” added Lyall.

Based on the information provided in text CG1A7 about the
“‘murder prediction’ programme”, judge the following items.
I The programme has been in use in the United Kingdom for at least a couple of years.
II According to advocates of the programme in the UK government, one of its goals is to improve how the risk of serious crimes is assessed.
III Opponents of the programme argue that it will increase the structural discrimination on which the UK criminal legal system is based.
Choose the correct option.
