Questões de Concurso

O uso da Língua Inglesa no contexto de Ciência e Tecnologia frequentemente emprega a Voz Passiva (Passive Voice) para conferir impessoalidade e objetividade aos relatos experimentais. Assim, registre V, para as afirmativas verdadeiras, e F, para as falsas:
(__)Na frase 'The solution was heated to 100°C', o agente da ação (by phrase) é omitido porque é irrelevante ou desconhecido, focando o processo científico e não o pesquisador.
(__)A transformação da ativa 'Did the team verify the data?' para a passiva resulta em 'Was the data verified by the team?', exigindo o ajuste da concordância verbal caso 'data' seja tratado como plural (latim original), embora o uso como singular seja comum hoje.
(__)O uso da voz passiva é desencorajado em todos os gêneros textuais modernos, incluindo relatórios técnicos, devido à influência do 'Plain English', que exige sempre a voz ativa.
(__)Construções como 'It is believed that...' ou 'It is thought that...' são exemplos de passiva impessoal, comuns em textos acadêmicos para introduzir consensos ou hipóteses sem atribuir autoria direta.

Após análise, assinale a alternativa que apresenta a sequência correta dos itens acima, de cima para baixo:

The fragment “Emoji were originally developed in Japan in the 1990s” (paragraph 4) is in the passive voice. However, not all English verbs can take a passive. The alternative in which the sentence can be rewritten in the passive voice is:

A teacher asks students to rewrite a sentence in the passive while preserving the temporal relationship established by the original verb phrase. The task requires more than exchanging the positions of two noun phrases.

Original sentence: 

"The school had already uploaded the materials before parents received the link."

Which transformation preserves the tense, aspect, and basic propositional meaning of the first clause?

The article alternates active and passive constructions according to the information being foregrounded. In the opening section, the discovery itself receives prominence before the text turns to the researchers and the methods used to obtain the evidence.

Considering verb tense, aspect, and voice in sentences from the article, mark T, for true, and F, for false.

(__)In "A civilisation [...] has been uncovered beneath the Amazon rainforest's dense canopy, has been uncovered" is a present perfect passive construction.
(__)In "Researchers used LIDAR", the simple past active presents researchers as the grammatical subject performing the action expressed by used.
(__)In "The findings were published in Nature", the passive construction foregrounds the findings rather than requiring the agent responsible for publication to occupy subject position.
(__)In "The survey uncovered thousands of geometric patterns", the verb uncovered is passive because the geometric patterns receive the action described in the sentence.

After analysis, select the alternative that presents the CORRECT sequence of the items above, from top to bottom.

The article describes "thousands of geometric patterns built into the Earth, known as geoglyphs." Two reduced constructions add information about the noun phrase without using complete finite relative clauses.

Analyze the statements below.

I."Built into the Earth" can be expanded as a passive relative construction such as "that were built into the Earth".
II."Known as geoglyphs" has passive meaning and describes the designation given to the geometric patterns.
III.Both constructions place the geometric patterns in the semantic role of agents performing the actions expressed by "build and know".

It is CORRECT what is stated in:
