The Base Nacional Comum Curricular document (BNCC) currently in force indicates 5 axes that guide the teaching-learning process of English in the final years of elementary school. Based on the axes defined by the BNCC document, read the following statements and then select the correct alternative:

I.With regard to the Writing axis, the BNCC recommends text production practices that involve movements that are sometimes collective, sometimes individual, of planning-production-revision, in which decisions are made and evaluated about the ways of communicating what is desired, keeping in mind aspects such as the objective of the text, the support that will allow it social circulation and its possible readers.
II.In the Orality axis, the BNCC prioritizes the use of media resources that bring a more standardized variant of the English language, with the aim of avoiding harm to the student's comprehension and learning, preferring, even, oral use practices without face-to-face contact.
III.The Intercultural Dimension axis points, among other things, to the importance of problematizing the different roles of the English language itself in the world, its values, its reach, and its effects on relations between different people and peoples, both in contemporary society and from a historical perspective.
IV.The Reading axis, in turn, includes, among its guidelines, working with verbal and hybrid genres, mainly enhanced by digital media, as this work makes it possible to experience, in a meaningful and situated way, different modes of reading and different reading goals.
V.The Linguistic Knowledge axis prioritizes the study of the correct form of the English Language as indicated in grammars, which is the appropriate norm established by language scholars, who are the most specialized professionals to indicate how one should speak. Furthermore, this axis recommends studying the language in isolation, to avoid comparisons with the Portuguese Language, for example.

There are four distinct techniques to convey or narrate what was said by someone to a third party: direct speech, reported speech, free direct speech and free reported speech.

I.Free direct speech is characterized by conveying the original message, but not the speaker's exact words.
II.He said their house had been for sale for six months is an example of reported speech.
III.Free reported speech is used in narratives to convey the thoughts or words of a character, through the narrator's voice.
IV.Reported speech presents with introductory verbs such as to say, to ask or to tell , and with quotation marks.
V.Direct speech can require a shift in verb tenses, pronouns and adverbs.

The correct use of verb tenses is essential for effective communication in English. Bearing this in mind, analyze the sentences below and select the sentence that presents the correct form of the verb:

Considering what the aforementioned document says about these axes, read the statements below, and assign T (True) or F (False) to each statement.

(__)In the Orality axis, the BNCC prioritizes the use of media resources that bring a more standardized variant of the English language, with the aim of avoiding harm to the student's comprehension and learning, prioritizing oral practices without face-to-face contact, in order to avoid exposing students to an accent or slang that might hinder the learning process of a correct variant of English.
(__)With regard to the Writing axis, the BNCC recommends text production practices that involve movements that are sometimes collective, sometimes individual, of planning-production-revision, in which decisions are made and evaluated about the ways of communicating what is desired, keeping in mind aspects such as the objective of the text, the support that will allow its social circulation and its possible readers.
(__)The Intercultural Dimension axis points, among other things, to the importance of problematizing the different roles of the English language itself in the world, its values, its reach, and its effects on relations between different people and peoples, both in contemporary society and from a historical perspective.
(__)The Linguistic Knowledge axis prioritizes the study of the correct form of the English Language as indicated in grammars, which is the appropriate norm established by language scholars, who are the most specialized professionals to indicate how one should speak. Furthermore, this axis recommends studying the language in isolation, to avoid comparisons with the Portuguese Language, for example, or any other languages the student knows other than English.
(__)The Reading axis, in turn, includes, among its guidelines, working with verbal and hybrid genres, mainly enhanced by digital media, as this work makes it possible to experience, in a meaningful and situated way, different modes of reading and different reading goals.

III.With this approach, the student does not dedicate time to simply learning a language, such as a traditional foreign language class, the focus is on the subject matter at hand being taught in the target language.
IV.This approach has the advantage of potentially increasing motivation, because the student is learning about a subject he is interested in, so they are likely to pay attention because they truly want to learn about the subject.
V.This approach is considered successful if a student manages to memorize a list of words or full sentences he can use while speaking to a foreign person. After reading these statements, select the correct alternative:
