In each of the following questions, choose the most appropriate stress pattern from the options. The stressed syllable is written in capital letters.
radioactive
Detalhes da Resposta
The word "radioactive" is divided into four syllables: "ra-di-o-ac-tive." To determine the stress pattern, it's important to note how the word is often pronounced naturally in English.
In English, many words have a certain syllable that is pronounced more prominently than others, and this is called the stressed syllable. In "radioactive," the stress falls on the third syllable "ac," making it "radioACtive." This means when you pronounce the word, you will tend to say the "AC" part with more emphasis compared to the other syllables.

Read the passage below and answer each questions that follow:
Weathering, which is the gradual breaking down or disintegration of rocks into smaller particles or fragments by either physical or chemical process, can be affected by many factors. Generally speaking, the climatic condition of a particular area has a great effect on the weathering. Physical or mechanical weathering needs temperature and water.
Chemical weathering, on the other hand, thrives where the climate is hot. We were all taught all these in the four walls of the classroom. I made a visit to my village to see these scientific discoveries. I noticed big trees with their roots penetrating into rocks and breaking them. I initially wondered and puzzled seeing trees growing from the rock.
A similar thing happened to the soil sampling surrounding where there were rocks. I could see the rock particles mixing up with the rest of the soil.

Formal education refers to the systematic, structured education that occurs primarily in school settings, often involving a specific curriculum and conducted by trained teachers. This type of education takes place within classrooms, which are typically part of school buildings, hence the phrase about the "four walls".

Pergunta 4 Relatório
Choose the option that best completes the sentence.
You know that you ____ it before tomorrow.
Detalhes da Resposta
To complete the sentence "You know that you ____ it before tomorrow," we need to choose a verb phrase that correctly conveys an obligation or probability in this context. Let's analyze the options:
1. Might do: This implies a possibility of doing something but with uncertainty. Therefore, it doesn't fit well after "you know" because knowing implies certainty.
2. Ought to do: This implies a recommendation or obligation. "You know that you ought to do it before tomorrow" suggests a sense of necessity or duty that aligns well with "you know."
3. Like to do: This implies a preference, habit, or enjoyment, which doesn't necessarily align with the sense of certainty or requirement implied by "you know."
4. May do: This suggests permission or possibility, which again does not fit well after "you know" due to the lack of certainty or obligation.
Therefore, the best option to complete the sentence, considering the context of certainty or a strong recommendation, is "ought to do." This reflects that there is a known obligation to complete the task before tomorrow.

A vulture was hovering over the dead goat.
Detalhes da Resposta
The term "hovering over" typically means to remain in the air in one place or move slightly above or around something. A vulture hovering over a dead goat suggests that it is staying airborne near the carcass, observing it intently, probably before descending to feed. This does not involve moving erratically or jumping; neither does it imply physically standing on the goat at this moment.

Pergunta 10 Relatório
Select the option that best explains the information conveyed in the sentence.
He played his wife false by inviting his mistress to the house as his cousin.
Detalhes da Resposta
To comprehend the meaning of the sentence "He played his wife false by inviting his mistress to the house as his cousin," it's essential to break down the phrase:
The key expression here is "played his wife false." The phrase "played false" commonly means to be deceitful or unfaithful. In this context, it indicates an act of betrayal or cheating on one's spouse.
Now, linking this with the rest of the sentence, where he invited someone under false pretense as his cousin, suggests that he was trying to disguise or hide the true identity of this person from his wife. The term "mistress" typically refers to a woman with whom a married man has a romantic or sexual relationship outside his marriage.
Therefore, the sentence implies that the man was being unfaithful — he was cheating on his wife by inviting his mistress into their home, pretending that she was his cousin to cover up this infidelity. So, the option that best explains the information conveyed in the sentence is: He cheated on his wife with his mistress.

When they started the fighting, the man who tried to ____ was knocked down.
Detalhes da Resposta

Detalhes da Resposta
The sentence in question is discussing the role of a teacher within the field of education. A "stakeholder" is someone who has an interest or investment in the success and functionality of an organization or process. In the context of education, teachers are directly involved in the teaching and learning processes and have a vested interest in educational outcomes. Therefore, they are considered key stakeholders in the field of education.
On the other hand, a "shareholder" refers to someone who owns shares in a company and is concerned with corporate profits, which does not apply in the educational context. An "officeholder" refers to someone who holds an official position, generally in a political or governmental context, which is not directly relevant here. Similarly, a "cardholder" refers to someone who possesses a card (such as a credit card or membership card) and does not relate to the role of a teacher.
Thus, the most appropriate word to fill the gap is "stakeholder".

Tests reveal that the winning athlete had taken some performance-enhancing ______.
Detalhes da Resposta
The best option to complete the sentence is: drugs.
In the context of sports and athletics, the term "performance-enhancing drugs" is commonly used to refer to substances that are taken to improve athletic performance. These substances can include various types of steroids and other medications that enhance physical capabilities, such as increasing strength or endurance.
The word "drugs" is the most appropriate term because it encompasses a wide range of chemical substances that can affect physical abilities. In contrast, "tablets," "caplets," and "capsules" refer to specific forms of medication delivery and do not specifically indicate substances that enhance performance. These terms describe the physical form in which a drug might be administered, but not the function or purpose of the substance.
Thus, when referring to substances taken by athletes to enhance performance, the correct term is drugs.

To fill the gap labeled 8, we need a word that appropriately conveys the action of forming a mental image or visualization of a map. The word that best fits this context is "conjure". The phrase "conjure in your mind a map of the Americas" suggests the idea of creating or visualizing a map in one's mind. This is similar to magically bringing an image into mind, just as one would conjure an image or idea through imagination. The other options do not effectively convey this mental visualization process:
Therefore, the correct choice is the word that effectively captures the imaginal process described, which is "conjure."

The option that is opposite in meaning to **broad** is **narrow**. While **broad** suggests something wide, **narrow** means something that has a small width or is much less wide. Therefore, if roads are described as **narrow**, they have a small extent from side to side, which is contrary to being **broad**.

Sally assisted me in buying my _____ yesterday.
Detalhes da Resposta
The phrase that best completes the sentence is "very first party dress". Here’s why:
When constructing a sentence, it is essential to follow the correct order of adjectives. English has a typical order for adjectives when more than one is used for a noun. The order goes as follows: opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, and purpose.
In this case, the adjective "first" refers to the order or sequence (a kind of number), while "very" is an adverb modifying "first," and "party" indicates the purpose of the dress. Therefore, "very first" precedes "party dress" to correctly describe the item being purchased.
Thus, the correct phrase is "very first party dress", describing the specific dress which Sally helped you buy.

It is not in my place to keep late, no matter what happens.
Detalhes da Resposta
The sentence "It is not in my place to keep late, no matter what happens" conveys the idea of a personal principle or belief regarding punctuality or staying late. It suggests that the speaker has a strong stance against staying late regardless of the circumstances. The best explanation is that the speaker has a self-imposed rule or personal boundary that dictates punctuality or avoiding staying late. This emphasizes a commitment to being on time or leaving at an appropriate time.
The most appropriate option would be: I am not used to keeping late, which indicates a habitual or personal principle that they adhere to. This aligns with the sentiment expressed in the sentence about not keeping late "no matter what happens," emphasizing a strong personal conviction.

- Forthcoming: This term means being open, communicative, and willing to talk openly about personal matters. This is the opposite of reticent, as it describes someone who is the exact opposite of reserved.
Therefore, the option opposite in meaning to reticent is forthcoming.

What option best fills the gap labelled 11
Detalhes da Resposta
To best fill the gap labelled 11, we need to understand what is being described in the context of a mine. The passage talks about using steel plates in the roof of a mine to support the immense weight of rocks and earth above. This means that additional structures are needed to stabilize or support the roof.
In mining terminology, "props" are vertical supports or struts used to hold up the roof in underground mining. They are crucial for providing stability and preventing collapses. None of the other options fit this specific function as well.
"Wedges" and "stakes" are generally not used for support in such heavy-duty situations as they function more as fasteners or tools for providing alignment. "Poles" could suggest support, but they are not as precise as "props" in describing mining structures specifically designed to uphold the roof.
Thus, the most appropriate word to fill the gap is props, which directly aligns with the concept of supporting structures in the mining industry to handle the pressure from the ground above.

Choose the option that best completes the sentence.
The movie wasn't fantastic, was it? _____
Detalhes da Resposta
To select the best option to complete the sentence "The movie wasn't fantastic, was it?" we need to understand the structure of a tag question. A **tag question** consists of a **statement** followed by a short question. The tag question is typically used to confirm something the speaker believes to be true. In English, the **tag** is generally formed by inverting the auxiliary verb and subject of the main sentence and is usually the opposite in form (affirmative vs. negative).
In this case, the statement is "The movie wasn't fantastic". The tag "was it?" is used to seek confirmation and implies that the speaker anticipates agreement. **Since the statement is negative ("wasn't"), the agreement or confirmation often expected is affirmative.**
Therefore, if you agree that the movie wasn't fantastic, you'd say "No, it wasn't" to confirm the negative statement because agreement to a negative statement is expressed with "no".
Thus, the correct option to complete the sentence is:
No, it wasn't.

Everyone thought the politician was invincible.
Detalhes da Resposta
To find the word with an opposite meaning (antonym) to the underlined word "invincible," we first need to understand its meaning. The word invincible means too powerful to be defeated or overcome.
1. The word invisible means something that cannot be seen. This is not related to power or the ability to be defeated, hence it's not opposite to "invincible."
2. The word unconquerable means impossible to defeat. This is a synonym, not an antonym, of "invincible."
3. The word vindictive means having a strong or unreasoning desire for revenge. This is unrelated to being unbeatable and thus is not the antonym of "invincible."
4. The word surmountable means able to be overcome or conquered. This is the direct opposite of "invincible," which means too powerful to be defeated.
Therefore, the word that is opposite in meaning to invincible is surmountable because it implies that something can be overcome or defeated.

In the sentence "My only SON speaks like an orator.", the word SON is emphasized. This means that the distinction is being drawn in reference to the person speaking who is the son.

In each of the following questions, the word in capital letter has the emphatic stress. Choose the option to which the given words relate.
His reign was noted for PEACE.
Detalhes da Resposta
When a word in a sentence is given emphatic stress, it signifies that the word is crucial to the meaning or emphasis of the sentence. In this case, the word in capital letters is "PEACE," implying that the emphasis is on what his reign was noted for. To determine the appropriate question form that relates to the emphasis, we look at options that focus on contrasting what his reign could be noted for.
The original statement is "His reign was noted for PEACE." Emphatic stress looks for an alternative or contrasting term to the emphasized word. Here, the emphasized word is "PEACE," so we need to check for an option that contrasts with "peace."
The option "Was his reign noted for wealth?" fits this requirement. By asking about a different characteristic, such as "wealth," it directly contrasts with the original statement's emphasis on "PEACE." Therefore, this question would have the emphatic stress on "peace" to highlight the contrast.
Hence, when the response is "His reign was noted for PEACE," the contrasting question would be "Was his reign noted for wealth?"
