False friends (false cognates) are a common source of lexical errors for Portuguese speakers. Analyze the sentences below and identifying the correct use or meaning of the highlighted words:

I.The university alumni were invited to the fundraising gala. (Referring to former students/graduates).
II.She is a very ingenious person, always trusting everyone too easily. (Referring to naive/innocent).
III.The doctor prescribed a laxative because the patient was constipated. (Referring to the inability to pass stools).

Is it correct what is stated in:

Connectives establish logical relationships between clauses. Select the alternative that correctly uses the correlative conjunction "Not only... but also" adhering to the rule of parallelism and subject-verb inversion (when placed initially for emphasis).

Morphological awareness is essential for vocabulary acquisition. Analyze the statements below regarding the word formation processes known as "Back-formation" and "Blending":

I.Back-formation is the process of reducing a word to a shorter version which belongs to a different word class, often by removing a supposed affix, such as forming the verb "to edit" from the noun "editor".
II.Blending involves combining two separate words to produce a single new term that shares the meaning of both, but unlike compounding, parts of the original words are usually deleted, as in "smog" (smoke + fog).
III.Both processes are strictly restricted to informal slang and are not recognized in standard English dictionaries or academic writing, being considered grammatical errors.

Is it correct what is stated in:

Dependent prepositions are fixed associations between words. Select the alternative that correctly fills the blanks in the sentence: "He was accused ______ theft, but he insisted ______ his innocence."

The concept of "occluded genres," introduced by John Swales in the context of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and genre analysis, refers to a specific category of texts that play a crucial role in the academy but are rarely seen by the public or students. Select the alternative that correctly defines these genres and provides accurate examples.

The position of adverbs in English follows stricter syntactic rules than in Portuguese. Choose the alternative that correctly places the frequency adverb 'always' and the manner adverb 'quickly' in the sentence below.

Cohesion refers to the grammatical and lexical links within a text. Assinale a alternativa que explica corretamente o conceito de "Cataphora" e fornece um exemplo adequado.

Distinguishing between Reflexive and Reciprocal pronouns is vital for precision. Select the alternative that correctly completes the sentence to indicate a mutual action between two people: "John and Mary looked at _______ in the mirror, but then they looked at _______ and smiled."

The Causative Passive is a structure used to indicate that someone arranges for an action to be done by someone else. Regarding the structure "Have/Get something done", mark T, for true, and F, for false:

(__)The sentence "I had my car repaired" implies that the speaker arranged for a mechanic to fix the car, whereas "I repaired my car" implies the speaker did it personally.
(__)In the structure "Get something done" (e.g., "I need to get my hair cut"), the meaning is essentially the same as "Have something done", but "Get" is generally more informal and common in spoken English.
(__)The causative structure can also describe mishaps or accidental events where the subject experiences something negative, as in "He had his wallet stolen", meaning the theft happened to him, not that he arranged it.
(__)It is grammatically correct to say "I had the mechanic repaired my car" to express the causative meaning, using the past tense of the main verb instead of the past participle.

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

When converting sentences from Direct to Indirect Speech, specific shifts occur not only in tenses but also in the mood of the verb, particularly with imperatives. Select the alternative that correctly transforms the sentence: "The doctor said to the patient, 'Don't stop taking the medicine unless you feel dizzy.'" into Indirect Speech.
