What life might be like in alien oceans.

Recent discoveries have led astrobiologists to think that moons are the most promising places for alien life to exist in our Solar System. And now several major space missions are being planned over the next decade to search for hints of life there.

Unlike our neighbouring planets, some of the moons have plenty of liquid water. Jupiter’s moon, Europa, for example, is thought to contain more liquid water than all of Earth's oceans combined. This water – and any life in it – is protected from space radiation and asteroid impacts by a thick layer of kilometersdeep surface ice.

The discovery of plumes of water shooting up from Saturn’s moon Enceladus and Europa have suggested they could have warm interiors that can support liquid oceans, heated not by the Sun, but by an internal dynamo powered by radioactive decay in their cores or by tidal heating generated by the gravitational attraction of the planets that they orbit.

There is now evidence for water oceans on several moons, including Europa, Enceladus, Callisto and Ganymede. One study published this June estimates that the Enceladus ocean is around one billion years old. Others have suggested it may be billions of years old – plenty of time for life to evolve.

Read the fragment below.

“The Referential Function is the one most commonly addressed in ESL/EFL settings because it concerns descriptions or contextual information. According to Holenstein (1974) it “dominates ordinary discourse [because we] designate objects and bestow them with meaning” (p.156). The most common topics addressed in beginning ESL/EFL course materials concern the surrounding environment (e.g., classroom objects and procedures, asking for or giving directions) or describing actions in physical or chronological context (e.g. daily routine, telling time.).” (Tribus, Angela C., 2017)

Analyzing the Referential Function as applied on the context above, it is correct to affirm that:

A

“As students proceed through intermediate and advanced levels of study, their breadth of vocabulary expands, and they should not express more complex ideas with accuracy, once the function underlying each of these utterances is referential because of the orientation towards context.”

B

“As students proceed through intermediate and advanced levels of study, their breadth of vocabulary expands, and they are able to express more complex ideas with accuracy, but the function underlying each of these utterances is referential because of the orientation towards context.”

C

“As students proceed through intermediate and advanced levels of study, their breadth of vocabulary expands, and they are able to express more complex ideas with accuracy, but the function underlying each of these utterances is never referential because of the orientation towards context.”

D

“As students proceed through intermediate and advanced levels of study, their breadth of vocabulary never expands, and they are not able to express more complex ideas with accuracy, because of the overusing of the referential function underlying each of these utterances.”
