Pergunta 6 Relatório
In the following question, choose the option that best completes the sentence.
The guest would have arrived earlier but he was _______ in traffic.
Detalhes da Resposta
The best option that completes the sentence is "held up". When we say someone is "held up", it means that they are delayed or prevented from progressing or arriving at a certain place. In this context, the guest would have arrived earlier but their progress was delayed because of traffic.
To further explain, imagine a situation where the guest was driving to their destination but encountered heavy traffic along the way. This traffic caused a delay and prevented the guest from reaching their destination on time. Therefore, the correct option is "held up".
The other options can be eliminated because they do not convey the same meaning as "held up". "Held down" means to restrain or keep someone or something in a lower position, which does not fit the context of someone being delayed in traffic. "Held about" does not have a commonly understood meaning in this context. "Held off" means to postpone or delay something, but it does not specifically refer to a person being delayed in traffic. Therefore, "held up" is the most appropriate option for completing the sentence.
It is important to analyze the word choices in the options and understand their meanings in order to determine the correct answer.

The victory of the small Greek democracy of Athens over the mighty Persian Empire was furious because Athens had interceded for the other Greek city-states in revolt against Persian domination. In anger, the king sent an enormous army to defeat Athens. He thought it would take drastic steps to pacify the rebellious part of the empire.
Persia was ruled by one man. In Athens, however, all citiens helped to rule. Emboldened by this participation, Athenians were prepared to die for their city-state. Perhaps this was the secret of the remarkable victory at the marathon, the Persians tried to fool some Greek city-states by claiming to have come in peace. The frightened city of Delos refused to believe this. Not wanting to abet the conquest of Greece, they fled from their city and did not return until the Persians had left. They were wise, for the president next conquered the city of Eritrea and captured its people.
Tiny Athens stood alone against Persia. The Athenian people to their sanctuaries. There they prayed for deliverance. They asked their gods to expedite their victory. The Athenians refurbished their weapons and moved to the plan of Marathon where their little band would meet the Persians. At the last moment, soldiers from Plataea reinforced the Athenian troops.
The Athenian army attacked and Greek citizens fought bravely. The power of the mighty Persians was offset by the love that the Athenians had for their city. Athenians defeated the Persians in both archery and combat. Greek soldiers seized Persian sheep and burned them and the Persians fled in terror. Herodotus, a famous historian, reports that 6400 Persians died, compared to only 192 Athenians.

Salma stayed at the most coveted and famous ______ hostel.
Detalhes da Resposta
Salma stayed at the most coveted and famous Queen Amina hostel. Queen Amina is the correct answer because in "The Life Changer" novel, the Queen Amina hostel is described as the most coveted and famous hostel. This means that it is highly sought after and well-known among students. Queen Amina was a powerful and influential queen who ruled over the city-state of Zazzau, which is present-day Nigeria.

The hostel named after Queen Amina is likely to symbolize strength, courage, and excellence – traits that students staying there might aspire to possess. It is important to note that the other options mentioned, Queen Moremi, Queen Lateefat, and Queen Haneefa, are not described in the novel as being as coveted and famous as Queen Amina. Therefore, the correct answer is Queen Amina.

May your road be rough. I am not cursing you: I am wishing you what I wish myself every year, I therefore repeat, may you have a hard time this year. May there be troubles for you this year. If you are not sure of what to say back, why not just say "same to you" – I ask for no more.
Our successes are conditioned by the amount of risk we are about to take. Earlier today, I visited a local farmer about five kilometers from where I live. He could not have been 55, but he said he was already too old to farm vigorously. He still suffered, he said, from the energy he displayed as a farmer in his younger days. Around his hut were two pepperbushes. There were cocoyam growing around him. There were snail shells which had given him meat. There must have been more snails around the banana trees than I saw. He hardly ever went to town to buy things. He was self-sufficient. The car, the television or radio and the newspaper were things he could live without. He had no ambition whatsoever, he told me.
I am not sure if you are already envious of him, but were we all to revert to such a life, we would be driven back like aimless sheep to cave dwelling. On the other hand, try to put yourself in the shoes of the Russian or American astronauts. Any moment you are shot into space, you have to be mentally alert, else, if you forget what to do, one of the things that might happen to you is that you could forever become a satellite going round until you die of starvation, and even then, your dead body would continue the gyration.
Naturally, they may have some slight foreboding on the contingency of their non-return. However, it is their courage for going in spite of these apprehensions that makes the world hail them so loudly today.

Bint was encouraged to take French at the primary level because _____
Detalhes da Resposta
Bint was encouraged to take French at the primary level because **her parents believed that language acquisition at an early age is relatively easy**.
At a young age, children have a greater capacity for language learning due to their developing brains and ability to absorb and process information more effectively. By introducing French to Bint at the primary level, her parents believed that she would have a better chance of grasping the language and becoming fluent in it.
The idea behind encouraging language learning at an early age is that young children are like sponges, capable of effortlessly picking up new languages and mastering their intricacies. With consistent exposure and practice, they can develop strong linguistic skills. This is why Bint's parents wanted her to start learning French early on.
By gaining proficiency in French, Bint would have an added advantage in her future endeavors. She would be able to communicate effectively with French-speaking individuals, whether it be for academic, professional, or personal reasons. Additionally, knowing French could open up exciting opportunities for her, such as studying or working abroad in France.
While the option "she would want to be a French mistress when she grows up" may seem like a possible reason, it is not mentioned in the question as a motivation for Bint's parents. Therefore, the correct answer is that Bint was encouraged to take French at the primary level because **her parents believed that language acquisition at an early age is relatively easy**.

The word that best fits in the gap is "enact".

Therefore, the Senate's main responsibility is to enact laws, not to pass motions or resolutions to control the executive actions of the President.

The correct option for gap 4 is "House of Representatives". In the passage, it is mentioned that the Senate is a part of the National Assembly, but it is not the National Assembly itself. The National Assembly is the legislative body of the country, responsible for making laws. If the House of Representatives were to take a view diametrically opposed to that reflected in the Senate resolution, it would create confusion. Therefore, the House of Representatives is the most appropriate option for gap 4.

Read the passage carefully and answer this question.
May your road be rough. I am not cursing you: I am wishing you what I wish myself every year, I therefore repeat, may you have a hard time this year. May there be troubles for you this year. If you are not sure of what to say back, why not just say "same to you" – I ask for no more.
Our successes are conditioned by the amount of risk we are about to take. Earlier today, I visited a local farmer about five kilometers from where I live. He could not have been 55, but he said he was already too old to farm vigorously. He still suffered, he said, from the energy he displayed as a farmer in his younger days. Around his hut were two pepperbushes. There were cocoyam growing around him. There were snail shells which had given him meat. There must have been more snails around the banana trees than I saw. He hardly ever went to town to buy things. He was self-sufficient. The car, the television or radio and the newspaper were things he could live without. He had no ambition whatsoever, he told me.
I am not sure if you are already envious of him, but were we all to revert to such a life, we would be driven back like aimless sheep to cave dwelling. On the other hand, try to put yourself in the shoes of the Russian or American astronauts. Any moment you are shot into space, you have to be mentally alert, else, if you forget what to do, one of the things that might happen to you is that you could forever become a satellite going round until you die of starvation, and even then, your dead body would continue the gyration.
Naturally, they may have some slight foreboding on the contingency of their non-return. However, it is their courage for going in spite of these apprehensions that makes the world hail them so loudly today.

Pergunta 47 Relatório
The primary stress is indicated by writing the syllable on which it occurs in capital letters. From the words lettered A to D choose the one that has the correct stress.
category
Detalhes da Resposta
The correct stress in the word "category" is "CAT-e-go-ry". The primary stress falls on the second syllable, which is "CAT".
In English, stress refers to the emphasis or prominence given to a syllable or word in speech. It involves making that particular syllable louder, longer, and higher in pitch compared to the surrounding syllables.
In the word "category", the stress is placed on the second syllable "CAT". This means that when pronouncing the word, we put more emphasis on the "CAT" syllable, making it louder, longer, and higher in pitch. The other syllables, "e-go-ry", are pronounced with a lower level of prominence.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B: "CAT-e-go-ry", where the capital letters indicate the syllable with the primary stress.

We are all hungry; we ...... anything to eat since morning.
Detalhes da Resposta
We are all hungry; we **haven't had** anything to eat since morning.
Explanation: The correct option to fill the gap is "haven't had". This is because the sentence is expressing a present perfect tense, which is used to talk about past actions or experiences that are connected to the present. In this case, the present perfect emphasizes that the hunger from not having anything to eat started in the past and continues until now.
The option "hadn't had" is incorrect because it is in the past perfect tense, which is used to talk about actions that happened before another past action. There is no indication of another past action in the sentence.
The option "never had" is incorrect because it implies an absolute lack of previous experience with eating anything since morning, which may not be the case for the individuals in the sentence.
The option "didn't have" is incorrect because it is in the simple past tense, which suggests a completed action in the past. It does not connect the past action of not having anything to eat to the present moment of being hungry.

To check desertification in the arid zones, ...... trees should be planted
Detalhes da Resposta
To check desertification in the arid zones, **drought-resistant** trees should be planted. Drought-resistant trees are those that have adapted to survive in arid conditions with limited water availability. These trees have evolved various mechanisms to cope with water scarcity, such as deep root systems that can access water from deep within the ground, waxy or hairy leaves that reduce water loss through evaporation, or the ability to store water in their tissues. By planting drought-resistant trees in arid zones, we can help to stabilize the soil and prevent erosion. These trees can provide shade, decreasing soil temperatures and reducing evaporation. Their deep root systems also help to bind the soil together, preventing wind erosion. Furthermore, the presence of trees can improve soil fertility as their leaves fall and decompose, providing organic matter and nutrients. Therefore, planting drought-resistant trees in arid zones is a simple and effective way to combat desertification. These tree species have the ability to survive and thrive in water-scarce environments, making them the most suitable option for addressing desertification.

The missing word in the first gap is "legislative". The passage is discussing the competence of the Senate, and it states that the members of the Senate do not have the authority or competence to pass a motion to review or challenge the executive action of the President. The word "executive" refers to the branch of government that is responsible for carrying out and enforce laws. Therefore, the appropriate option for the first gap is "executive". In simpler terms, the passage is saying that the Senate does not have the power to challenge or review the actions taken by the President in carrying out and enforcing laws.

This question is based on "The Life Changer" novel.
What appellation was given to Talle for all his amazing show of personality.
Detalhes da Resposta
In "The Life Changer" novel, Talle was given the appellation of "the quiet one" for his amazing show of personality. This means that Talle was known for being quiet and reserved in his demeanor and behavior. He may not speak much or be the center of attention, but his actions and presence still leave a lasting impact on others. Being referred to as "the quiet one" implies that Talle is introspective, thoughtful, and observant. While others may be more vocal or expressive, Talle's calm and composed nature allows him to understand and analyze situations from a different perspective. Often, people who are labeled as "the quiet one" possess qualities such as deep thinking, good listening skills, and a penchant for reflection. They may not feel the need to constantly speak or make themselves known in social settings, but when they do, their words carry weight and significance. Talle's appellation of "the quiet one" highlights his unique personality traits and the impact they have on those around him. It is a testament to the fact that sometimes, the most powerful presence can exist in silence and observation rather than loudness and showiness.

Detalhes da Resposta
The word "short" does not have the same vowel sound as the other three words: "shun", "son", and "sun". The vowel sound in "shun", "son", and "sun" is the "uh" sound, also known as the schwa sound. It is a central vowel sound that is pronounced as a weak and unstressed "uh" sound, similar to the first sound in the word "about". On the other hand, the word "short" has a different vowel sound. It has the "aw" sound, which is pronounced as a low back vowel sound, similar to the sound in the word "law". So, the word "short" is different from the other three words because it has a different vowel sound. The vowel sound in "short" is "aw", while the vowel sound in "shun", "son", and "sun" is "uh".

Use the passage to answer the questions below
Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
The victory of the small Greek democracy of Athens over the mighty Persian Empire was furious because Athens had interceded for the other Greek city-states in revolt against Persian domination. In anger, the king sent an enormous army to defeat Athens. He thought it would take drastic steps to pacify the rebellious part of the empire.
Persia was ruled by one man. In Athens, however, all citiens helped to rule. Emboldened by this participation, Athenians were prepared to die for their city-state. Perhaps this was the secret of the remarkable victory at the marathon, the Persians tried to fool some Greek city-states by claiming to have come in peace. The frightened city of Delos refused to believe this. Not wanting to abet the conquest of Greece, they fled from their city and did not return until the Persians had left. They were wise, for the president next conquered the city of Eritrea and captured its people.
Tiny Athens stood alone against Persia. The Athenian people to their sanctuaries. There they prayed for deliverance. They asked their gods to expedite their victory. The Athenians refurbished their weapons and moved to the plan of Marathon where their little band would meet the Persians. At the last moment, soldiers from Plataea reinforced the Athenian troops.
The Athenian army attacked and Greek citizens fought bravely. The power of the mighty Persians was offset by the love that the Athenians had for their city. Athenians defeated the Persians in both archery and combat. Greek soldiers seized Persian sheep and burned them and the Persians fled in terror. Herodotus, a famous historian, reports that 6400 Persians died, compared to only 192 Athenians.
Athens had _________ the Greek-states against Persians.
Detalhes da Resposta
Athens had intervened on behalf of the Greek-states against the Persians.
When the Persian Empire launched invasions against the Greek city-states in the 5th century BCE, Athens played a significant role in defending the Greeks. The Athenians, led by their renowned statesman Themistocles, recognized the threat posed by the Persian forces and took action to unite the Greek city-states against this common enemy.
Athens intervened on behalf of the Greek-states by organizing a naval alliance called the Delian League. This league consisted of numerous Greek city-states, with Athens assuming a leading role due to its strong navy and political influence.
With the formation of the Delian League, Athens coordinated military efforts and provided financial, logistical, and strategic support to the allied Greek city-states. They used the resources of the league to build a powerful navy, which played a crucial role in defeating the Persians in key battles such as the Battle of Salamis.
By intervening on behalf of the Greek-states, Athens demonstrated its commitment to defending Greek freedom and autonomy. They recognized the importance of unity in the face of a powerful external threat and took decisive action to protect their shared interests.

Choose the word or phrase from A to D which has its meaning opposite to the underlined word or words in each sentence
She was impertinent until she met her husband.
Detalhes da Resposta
The opposite of impertinent is **courteous**. To understand why, let's break down the meaning of impertinent. Impertinent means showing a lack of respect or being rude. So when we say someone is impertinent, it means they are not behaving in a respectful or polite manner. On the other hand, being courteous means showing good manners and being polite. So if someone is courteous, they are behaving in a respectful and polite way towards others. In the given sentence, it says that the person was impertinent until she met her husband. This means that before she met her husband, she was rude or showed a lack of respect. But after meeting her husband, we can infer that she changed her behavior and became more polite and respectful, which is why the word that has the opposite meaning of impertinent in this context is **courteous**.
