In the cartoon, Calvin says: “I sure feel sorry for my tapeworm.” The highlighted expression is an example of a lexical collocation. Which of the following statements CORRECTLY characterizes its use in English?

A

It illustrates a fixed verb–preposition construction whose meaning is literal, not idiomatic, and is frequently used to express empathy toward someone or something.

B

It is an idiomatic collocation interchangeable with “regret about,” and it requires the object to be an abstract noun rather than an animate entity.

C

It belongs to the category of strong collocations where substitution of the verb (feel) by near-synonyms like sense or experience is normally acceptable without altering meaning.

D

It represents a free combination of words with no restrictions, since both “sorry” and “for” can freely combine with a wide variety of verbs in English.

E

It demonstrates a restricted collocation, where sorry collocates with specific verbs (feel, be, sound, look), and the structure tends to convey a pragmatic idea of empathy or mild pity

Gramática - Língua InglesaVerbos | Verbs

Consider the two sentences below:

1. At six, everyone will have left the office.
2. At six, everyone will leave the office.

Which statement CORRECTLY explains the difference between them?

A

(1) emphasizes a routine behavior, while (2) emphasizes a one-time future perfect event.

B

(1) presents the leaving as an action already completed by six o'clock, while (2) presents it as an action scheduled to happen at six o'clock.

C

(1) is ungrammatical because the Future Perfect cannot be used with a specific time expression, while (2) is the natural choice.

D

(1) indicates probability, while (2) indicates certainty.

E

(1) and (2) are stylistic variants of the same idea, with no real difference in meaning

Gramática - Língua InglesaVerbos | Verbs

In the sentence “He has been being difficult for some time” the CORRECT way to evaluate the use of the verb be in this context is:

A

The construction is possible, since be is polysemous: so it can be used dynamically when someone deliberately assumes a characteristic or behavior. In this case, “being difficult”suggests intentional conduct.

B

The sentence is entirely ungrammatical because be is a stative verb and stative verbs cannot appear in progressive forms.

C

The sentence is perfectly idiomatic, as be is freely used in the progressive aspect whenever duration is emphasized. This usage is natural English.

D

The sentence should be reformulated using the Present Perfect Simple, because be never carries a dynamic reading. The natural correction is: “He has been difficult for some time.”

E

The progressive aspect here indicates passivity. The intended meaning is passive, so the corrected sentence should be: “He has been being treated as difficult for some time.”

Consider the sentence: He looked up the word in a dictionary. Choose the CORRECT option that reveals the nature of phrasal verbs.

A

The particle functions as a preposition, introducing the object of the verb.

B

The sentence can be rephrased without altering its meaning to He looked the word in a dictionary, because the particle is optional and does not contribute to the verb's lexical meaning.

C

The verb retains its basic meaning, while the particle adds an optional semantic nuance.

D

The particle and the verb fuse into a single lexical item, whose meaning is not predictable from the parts.

E

Phrasal verbs can always replace single-word verbs without affecting style or context.

Text 2

The concept of World Englishes highlights the diversification of English into different and locally grounded varieties. Rather than being seen as mere deviations from a single “standard,” forms such as Indian English or Nigerian English show how English adapts to sociolinguistic contexts shaped by multilingualism and postcolonial histories. These localized varieties differ in vocabulary, pronunciation, pragmatics, and even grammar, yet remain systematic and rule-governed. Recognizing this reality questions the idea of a single, uniform English and reframes the language as having multiple centers of influence. For teaching, this means that instead of promoting only one model, English education should engage critically with linguistic diversity and with the social and cultural values attached to different varieties.

Source: Kachru, Braj B., Kachru, Yamuna, Nelson, Cecil L. The Handbook of World Englishes. Australia: Blackwell Publishin. 2006. (Adapted)

Pedagogically, the recognition of English as pluricentric entails that:

A

Teachers must standardize students' speech to align with either British or American norms in order to ensure global intelligibility

B

Language teaching should expose learners to diverse varieties while fostering critical awareness of power relations among them.

C

The focus of instruction should shift toward teaching local vernaculars in place of international Englishes.

D

Varieties that diverge at the syntactic level cannot be considered systematic or valid for classroom purposes.

E

The ideological dimensions of English varieties are secondary to purely structural linguistic features in pedagogy
