Choose the option opposite in meaning to the underlined word(s).
The doctor examined the patient painstakingly?
Detalhes da Resposta
The opposite in meaning to "painstakingly" is "perfunctorily." "Painstakingly" is an adverb that means taking great care and effort to do something thoroughly and accurately. In the given sentence, it implies that the doctor took a lot of time and effort to examine the patient with care and precision. On the other hand, "perfunctorily" is an adverb that means to do something with little interest or effort, just going through the motions. Therefore, if the doctor examined the patient "perfunctorily," it would suggest that they did it without much attention or care, just going through the motions without taking the time to do a thorough examination. The other options are not appropriate antonyms in this context. "Carefully" is a synonym for "painstakingly." "Professionally" means to do something in a skilled and competent way, which is not necessarily the opposite of "painstakingly." "Painfully" is an adverb that means causing physical or emotional pain, which is not relevant to the context of examining a patient.

Pergunta 3 Relatório
When man evolved a conscience, his basic relationship with the other animals began to change. Until then, they were broadly divided into those which ate him when they got the chance, and a third group which completed with him for food, or was otherwise a nuisance to him in the business of keeping alive.
In the primitive situation, man was, therefore, basically against Nature but, as the battle was progressively won, conscience crept in: the awareness of responsibility, and a failure to meet it, produced feelings of guilt. Those who live in cities and need no longer do battle against Nature are nowadays most actively for Nature. At this time, something like a thousand kinds of animals (vertebrate animals) can be in danger of would hardly justify the extermination of a giant reptile whose family has existed for 200 million years. Leopards are in jeopardy because of the fashion for their skins. As they get rare, the prices rise and as leopard skin coats become more expensive, the demand increases. No species can long survive the price of #60,000 which a half-grown baby leopard now carries on its skin. And crocodiles, the longest surviving reptiles, are now dwindling alarmingly as a result of the fashion in crocodile skin for ladies ‘handbags and men’s shoes.
The human population explosion spreads mankind across the land surfaces of the earth at an alarming rate. There will be twice as many of us are dead. Does this mean no room for wild animals? Of course not. With ingenuity and forethought, a place can be kept for them. To destroy their habitat is as unnecessary as it would be to pull down a great cathedral in order to grow potatoes on the site. A campaign to save what remains is the concern of a new kind of Noah’s Ark- the World Wildlife Fund. It does not believe that all is lost.

Read the passage below carefully and answer the questions that follow.
The 2002 World Cup Competition, also called Korea/Japan 2002, kicked off with a match between the defending champions, France, and the Senegalese nation team from African. Nobody had given the Senegalese any chance against the star-studded defending champions but the 1-0 score line in favour of Senegal showed that African football can no longer be taken for granted. .
This shocking defeat of France had raised Africa’s hopes of going beyond the first round of the tournament. So when the Super Eagles of Nigeria filed out against Argentina on the morning of Sunday, June the second, 2002, many Nigeria football enthusiasts delayed attending church service to watch the match live on television. As expected, the Super Eagles put up strong resistance to the Argentinian challenge and the day would not have ended on a sombre note for Nigerians if the momentum had been sustained throughout the match. .
The hope of going beyond the first round, though precarious, was very much alive as the Eagles were expected to defeat their next opponents, Sweden and Eagles. But some shortcomings in the Nigerian national team needed to be rectified to brighten their chances against their next opponents. .
First, the defence needed to be strengthened to prevent the opponents from incessantly terrorizing the goalkeeper. Then the strikers also needed to improve on their lacklustre performance against Argentina, since every Nigerian expected them to overwhelm their next opponents in the opening rounds. Lastly, rather that gamble with unfit players, a more creative use of the reserves would be necessary to smooth the way to the next round. .
If World Cup debutants, Senegal, could nurse the hope of playing in the knock-out stages of the tournament, then the Eagles should soar instead of being intimidated by big names, for no team is invincible.

Pergunta 58 Relatório
Attitudes towards the smoking of cigarettes and the consumption of alcohol may be used to illustrate typical African ethics. Apart from the fact that smoking has now been linked with the lung cancer disease, the African moralist has always regarded smoking as an indication of moral degradation. A number of people have accepted the moralist ideaon smoking. Some have refrained from smoking and those who could influence others, such as parents and religious leaders, have also exerted their influence to prevent others from smoking. On the other hand, a good many people have remained indifferent to the moralist view and have continued to smoke. The same argument has been applied to the consumption of alcohol. The African moralist, basing his judgement on the behaviour of a few alcoholics, tends to regard the habit of taking alcohol as a sign of wretchedness. The moralist holds the view that anybody who forms the habit of consuming alcohol will never do well in life. While this may be true in respect of a few people in the society, the fear of the moralist has not been justified. However, the economist is primarily interested in the habit of smoking and the consumption of alcohol and alcohol in so far as they give satisfaction to smokers and drinkers and so generate supply of and demand for tobacco and alcohol. The economist is interested in knowing how many packets of cigarettes are consumed and to what extent an increase or fall in consumption could affect production that is, supply. Similarly, he is interested in how much beer is consumed and how the supply of beer will adjust to the demand for it. He examines the habits and the pressures which can lead to the readjustment of wants and the reallocation of resources to cover the wants.
Some moral principles associated with religion tend to lead on to economic problems. Followers of certain religions are expected not to consume pork, take alcohol or smoke tobacco. Devotees of some religious groups, on the other hand, can eat pork, while others are expected to abstain from alcohol and smoking. Strict observance of these moral rules could cripple the breweries, the cigarette factories and some businesses however, there seems to be a growing number of alcohol consumers and cigarette smokers- a development which should be of interest to the economist.
Detalhes da Resposta
The positions maintained by the moralist and the economist can be described as being at variance. The moralist is concerned with the ethical implications of smoking and alcohol consumption, while the economist is primarily interested in the economic implications. While the moralist may view smoking and alcohol consumption as morally degrading, the economist focuses on the supply and demand for these products and their impact on production. There may be some overlap in their concerns, but their perspectives and priorities are different, leading to a divergence in their positions.

When man evolved a conscience, his basic relationship with the other animals began to change. Until then, they were broadly divided into those which ate him when they got the chance, and a third group which completed with him for food, or was otherwise a nuisance to him in the business of keeping alive.
In the primitive situation, man was, therefore, basically against Nature but, as the battle was progressively won, conscience crept in: the awareness of responsibility, and a failure to meet it, produced feelings of guilt. Those who live in cities and need no longer do battle against Nature are nowadays most actively for Nature. At this time, something like a thousand kinds of animals (vertebrate animals) can be in danger of would hardly justify the extermination of a giant reptile whose family has existed for 200 million years. Leopards are in jeopardy because of the fashion for their skins. As they get rare, the prices rise and as leopard skin coats become more expensive, the demand increases. No species can long survive the price of #60,000 which a half-grown baby leopard now carries on its skin. And crocodiles, the longest surviving reptiles, are now dwindling alarmingly as a result of the fashion in crocodile skin for ladies ‘handbags and men’s shoes.
The human population explosion spreads mankind across the land surfaces of the earth at an alarming rate. There will be twice as many of us are dead. Does this mean no room for wild animals? Of course not. With ingenuity and forethought, a place can be kept for them. To destroy their habitat is as unnecessary as it would be to pull down a great cathedral in order to grow potatoes on the site. A campaign to save what remains is the concern of a new kind of Noah’s Ark- the World Wildlife Fund. It does not believe that all is lost.
When of the following statement is true according to the passage?Detalhes da Resposta
According to the passage, the statement that is true is: "Man poses the greatest threat to Nature." The passage explains how man's relationship with nature has evolved over time, and how the increasing human population is putting pressure on the habitats of wild animals. It also describes how man's conscience has developed over time, leading to a greater awareness of the need to protect nature. However, despite this awareness, many species of animals are still in danger of extinction due to human activities such as hunting and habitat destruction. Therefore, the passage suggests that man is the greatest threat to nature.

Detalhes da Resposta
The statement that is true according to the passage is that there are differing attitudes towards smoking and drinking in African ethics, with some moralists viewing them as signs of moral degradation and wretchedness, respectively, while others remain indifferent. The economist is primarily interested in the economic implications of smoking and drinking, such as their effect on supply and demand for tobacco and alcohol. Additionally, strict adherence to certain religious principles regarding consumption of pork, alcohol, and tobacco could potentially have negative economic effects on industries that produce these goods. The passage does not state that everyone ignores the moralist view, that total abstinence is a religious obligation, or that smoking and drinking have positive effects on health or the economy.

Read the passage below carefully and answer the questions that follow.
The 2002 World Cup Competition, also called Korea/Japan 2002, kicked off with a match between the defending champions, France, and the Senegalese nation team from African. Nobody had given the Senegalese any chance against the star-studded defending champions but the 1-0 score line in favour of Senegal showed that African football can no longer be taken for granted. .
This shocking defeat of France had raised Africa’s hopes of going beyond the first round of the tournament. So when the Super Eagles of Nigeria filed out against Argentina on the morning of Sunday, June the second, 2002, many Nigeria football enthusiasts delayed attending church service to watch the match live on television. As expected, the Super Eagles put up strong resistance to the Argentinian challenge and the day would not have ended on a sombre note for Nigerians if the momentum had been sustained throughout the match. .
The hope of going beyond the first round, though precarious, was very much alive as the Eagles were expected to defeat their next opponents, Sweden and Eagles. But some shortcomings in the Nigerian national team needed to be rectified to brighten their chances against their next opponents. .
First, the defence needed to be strengthened to prevent the opponents from incessantly terrorizing the goalkeeper. Then the strikers also needed to improve on their lacklustre performance against Argentina, since every Nigerian expected them to overwhelm their next opponents in the opening rounds. Lastly, rather that gamble with unfit players, a more creative use of the reserves would be necessary to smooth the way to the next round. .
If World Cup debutants, Senegal, could nurse the hope of playing in the knock-out stages of the tournament, then the Eagles should soar instead of being intimidated by big names, for no team is invincible.
The word debutants, as used in the passage, meansDetalhes da Resposta
The word "debutants" as used in the passage means "first-timers." In the context of the passage, "debutants" refer to the Senegalese national team who made their first appearance in the World Cup competition in 2002. The passage describes how the team shocked the defending champions, France, in their first match, despite not being favored to win. Therefore, the term "debutants" implies that this was the first time that Senegal was participating in the World Cup competition. The other options are not appropriate meanings in this context. "Giant killers" is a term used to describe a team that defeats a much stronger opponent, which is not relevant to the context of the passage. "Hard-fighters" and "under-dogs" imply a team that is expected to struggle or lose, which does not accurately describe the Senegalese team's performance in their first match.
