Reading strategies in the English Language Teaching context often involve specific cognitive processes such as scanning, skimming, and predicting. However, a less frequently discussed but vital technique for advanced critical literacy is the "Socratic Questioning" method applied to texts, which aims to uncover underlying assumptions and perspectives within a passage. Considering the development of high-level reading skills, choose the correct alternative regarding reading strategies.

English is primarily an SVO (Subject-Verb-Object) language, meaning the position of a word often determines its grammatical role. However, certain structures allow for "Inversion" for emphasis or literary effect. Regarding sentence structure, mark T for True and F for False:

(__)Subject-Auxiliary Inversion is mandatory in most direct questions, such as "Have you seen the film?" instead of "You have seen the film."

(__)The "Direct Object" always follows the "Indirect Object" when the preposition "to" or "for" is omitted, as in "He gave her the flowers."

(__)In English, the adjective must always be placed after the noun it modifies to ensure the sentence follows a logical predicative order.

(__)A "Complement" is a word or phrase that completes the meaning of a subject or object, often following a linking verb like "be" or "seem."

After analysis, choose the alternative that presents the correct sequence:

The distinction between literary and non-literary texts lies in the use of language and the primary function of the discourse. About the interpretation of different genres, mark T for True and F for False:

(__)Narratives are primarily characterized by the use of "mimesis" or "diegesis" to represent a sequence of events involving characters in a specific setting.

(__)Expository texts aim to persuade the reader by using emotional appeal and rhetorical devices such as hyperbole and irony to defend a subjective point of view.

(__)Literary texts often employ "defamiliarization," a technique that makes common objects or situations seem strange to enhance the reader's perception.

(__)Descriptive texts in technical manuals are strictly forbidden from using adjectives because they must remain purely objective and mathematical.

After analysis, choose the alternative that presents the correct sequence:

Textual linguistics defines cohesion and coherence as the two main pillars of textuality. While cohesion deals with the surface linguistic links, coherence relates to the underlying meaning. Analyze the following statements about these concepts:

I.Anaphora is a cohesive device where a word in a text refers back to a previously mentioned entity, such as using "it" to refer to "the book."

II.Lexical cohesion can be achieved through the use of hyponyms and hypernyms, creating a semantic chain that maintains the thematic unity of the passage.

III.Coherence is entirely dependent on the presence of explicit conjunctions, meaning a text without "but" or "therefore" cannot be logically understood.

Which statements are correct:

In English phonetics and phonology, the study of sound production and perception focuses on how phonemes are articulated and distinguished. Regarding English vowels and consonants, choose the correct alternative.

Word formation in English involves processes such as affixation, compounding, and conversion. Understanding how bound morphemes change the grammatical category of a word is essential for vocabulary development. Analyze the following statements:

I.Derivational suffixes like "-ly" often change adjectives into adverbs, modifying the syntactic function of the base word.

II.Inflectional morphemes in English, such as the "-ed" in "walked," change the core meaning of the verb to create an entirely new lexical entry.

III.Compounding is the process of combining two free morphemes to create a new word, which can be written as one word, two words, or hyphenated.

Which statements are correct:

Conversational competence involves more than just grammatical accuracy; it requires the ability to manage turns, use "back-channeling," and adhere to the "Cooperative Principle." Analyze the following statements about conversation skills:

I."Back-channeling" involves providing vocal or non-verbal cues, such as "uh-huh" or nodding, to show that one is listening without interrupting the speaker.

II."Turn-taking" is the conversational mechanism where one person speaks at a time in an orderly fashion, avoiding long silences or frequent overlaps.

III.The "Maxim of Quality" in Grice's Cooperative Principle states that speakers should be as brief as possible and avoid any complex vocabulary in casual talk.

Which statements are correct:

Semantics investigates how meaning is constructed and interpreted. A common pitfall for learners is failing to distinguish between denotation and connotation, which can lead to social misunderstandings. Regarding word meanings, choose the correct alternative.

Estudos recentes desenvolvidos no âmbito acadêmico brasileiro têm ampliado a compreensão sobre os múltiplos significados da má nutrição, afastando-se da ideia restrita de que ela se resume apenas à fome ou à desnutrição. Pesquisas baseadas em dados públicos e séries históricas nacionais evidenciam que fatores como gênero, raça, cor da pele e classe social influenciam de forma significativa a ocorrência tanto da desnutrição quanto do excesso de peso. Nesse contexto analítico, obesidade passa a ser compreendida como parte de um quadro mais amplo de insegurança alimentar e nutricional. A partir dessas considerações, qual interpretação expressa corretamente o conceito de má nutrição apresentado no texto?

O artigo 86 da Lei Orgânica Municipal de Paraíso/SC estabelece um conjunto de garantias destinadas aos servidores públicos, buscando assegurar condições dignas de trabalho, proteção remuneratória e estabilidade econômica. No contexto do ordenamento jurídico local, tais direitos complementam aqueles previstos na Constituição e em legislação infraconstitucional, refletindo princípios como a dignidade da pessoa humana e a valorização do serviço público. No âmbito do Município de Paraíso, o artigo que trata desses direitos explicita parâmetros mínimos relacionados à remuneração e à proteção contra perdas salariais. Considerando esse conjunto normativo, analise as assertivas a seguir:

I.Salário ou vencimento mínimo capaz de atender às necessidades vitais básicas do servidor e às de sua família, com moradia, alimentação, educação, saúde, lazer, vestuário, higiene, transportes e outros.

II.Piso salarial mínimo, inclusive para os que recebem remuneração variável.

III.Teto de vencimento não superior ao salário mínimo nacionalmente unificado.

IV.Irredutibilidade de salário ou vencimento, salvo o disposto em convenção ou acordo coletivo.
