Evaluation is a part of the narrative especially crafted so that the emotional impact of the narrated experience can
be transmitted to its readers or listeners. Mark the option in which hooks shares her evaluation of the narrated
events with her readers.
All the options below were retrieved from: hooks, bell. Talking Back: Thinking Feminist, Thinking Black. Chapter 22:
Writing Autobiography. Routledge: New York, 2015
"I had met a young black man. We were having an affair".
"He drank often, smoked cigarettes, and always on the few occasions that we met him, he held us children in
tight embraces. It was the memory of those embraces--of the way I hated and longed to resist them-that I
recalled".
"Within the world of my childhood, we held on to the legacy of a distinct black culture by listening to the
elders tell their stories".
"I remembered my mother's hope chest, with its wonderful odor of cedar, and thought about her taking the
most precious items and placing them there for safekeeping".
 "it was also interesting to read the narrative in its entirety after I had completed the work. It had not
occurred to me that bringing one's past, one's memories together in a complete narrative would allow one
to view them from a different perspective, not as singular isolated events but as part of a continuum".

Explicação:
Evaluations are parts of the narrative in which the narrator shares his feelings and viewpoints on the narrated events with
readers, sharing with them their emotional effects. In this excerpt: "it was also interesting to read the narrative in its
entirety after I had completed the work (¿)", hooks tells her readers that writing her memories allowed her to view her
own story from a different perspective.

"The need to consistently challenge anti-Semitism clearly remains, and the Wiener Holocaust Library in London¿s
forthcoming exhibition, Fighting anti-Semitism from Dreyfus to Today, is a timely examination of the wide range of
ways in which Jewish groups and others have fought against anti-Semitism in more than a century [...]."

The future simple should be employed in the verb "be", insofar as it refers to a future exhibition.
The Simple Present Tense in the verbs "remain" and "be" account for progressive actions in the present,
whilst the Present Perfect in the verb "�ght" refers to an action that occurred in an inde�nite moment in the
past.
The Simple Present tense employed in the verbs "remain" and "be" accounts for a factual exposition, but the
Simple Past tense would be more adequate in the verb "�ght".
 The Simple Present tense employed in the verbs "remain" and "be" accounts for a factual exposition, while
the Present Perfect in the verb "�ght" refers to an action that occurred in an inde�nite moment in the past.
The Simple Present tense employed in the verbs "remain" and "be" regard actions which started in the past
and with noticeable current consequences. The Present Perfect in the verb "�ght" refers to past activities in
a precise time period.
Respondido em 12/09/2023 18:02:26
Explicação:
Indeed, the author makes factual historical claims using the verbs "remain" and "be", to be later evidenced with data.
Therefore, the Simple Present tense is adequate. Moreover, he does not clarify when the �ghts he mentioned occurred,
allowing for the use of a Present Perfect structure.

Establishing a research territory is a fundamental move when writing a research paper, for it identi�es the sphere of
human knowledge circumscribing any given study. Read the introductory paragraphs below:
Within the feminist movement racial con�ict between white women and women of colour continues to be one area
of struggle. Often these con�icts are so overwhelming that they cause us to despair that we can ever live and work
together in social spaces that are not irrevocably tainted by politics of domination. Since energy wanes and hope
diminishes it is absolutely necessary for feminist activists to renew our commitment to political struggle and
strengthen our solidarity. This means that we must work with greater diligence to confront racism and the con�icts
that it engenders with the conviction that sustained committed struggle will lead towards a liberatory feminist
political agenda.
hooks, bell. "Sisterhood: Political Solidarity Between Women". Feminist Review, n. 23, 1986.
Establishing her research territory at the very onset of her text, hooks uses her introduction to:
Undermine the arguments of those who oppose academic research on feminism.
Demonstrate the questions should be raised to extend previous knowledge.
 Show that the general research area is central, interesting, and problematic.
Provide a balanced account of the controversy her text aims at tackling.
Indicate that there is a gap in the previous research.

The graph below is concerned with a comparison of food security/insecurity in Brazil between 2004 and 2020.
Choose the alternative which better describes its data:
Retrieved from: http://olheparaafome.com.br/VIGISAN_AF_National_Survey_of_Food_Insecurity.pdf
The proportion of Brazilian families with proper food security tops three �fths.
 In 2020, less than half of Brazilian households were food secure and there has been a steep rise in food
insecurity since 2010.
In 2020, the proportion of households that faced mild food insecurity was approximately one tenth.
The percentage of households affected by severe hunger has slumped sharply from 2013 to 2020.
The country faced a staggering upsurge in moderate food insecurity in 2004, whilst there was a decreasing
trend in 2018.
Respondido em 12/09/2023 18:09:12
Explicação:
The percentage linked to the 2020 survey is below 50% ("44,8%"). Besides, the increase in the yellow, red and blue points
and rates related to food insecurity indicate a rising trend in such issue.

Read the introduction of an expository text titled "After Fleeing Ukraine, LGBTQ Refugees Search for Safety in
Countries Hostile to Their Rights". Then, choose the option containing its textual genre, according to its observable
features.
"For Vitaly and his wife, it was the bright light that woke them up at 4:30 am on Feb. 24. Then came the crashes of
the explosions, four in a row, shaking their home in Odessa. They checked their phones and saw frantic texts from
friends panicking that Russia had launched a war on Ukraine. They each grabbed a bag, got into their car, and drove
west."

 It consists of a feature story, since it intends to engage readers and foster empathy providing an exposition
of particular life experiences connected with the theme of the publication.
Such narration is a typical trait of an axis problem- solution.
The paragraph is indicative ofa feature story, since it provides a proposition and summary of the content of
the article at the very outset.
The extract is structured by means of a comparison among the couple and other people in contrasting
situations.
This paragraph is structured in a common format of inverted pyramid, exposing a set of actions which add a
human touch to data.
Respondido em 12/09/2023 18:04:23
Explicação:
Instead of making general expository claims, the author attempts to engage readers by introducing the particular stories
of two people who are probably not known by the projected public: Vitaly and his wife. This strategy is common in feature
stories. Therefore, the correct answer is: "It consists of a feature story, since it intends to engage readers and foster
empathy providing an exposition of particular life experiences connected with the theme of the publication".

mentioned.
The allusion to "case studies" was part of the literature review mentioned in the �rst sentence.
The structure "attention has been paid to¿" supports the prestige of published literature in the area.
This extract is suitable for a section of Methodology, since it argues for the data generated by the
researchers in question.

According to the table, the percentage of school life expectancy halved in the last decade.
 The gross intake ratio into the last grade of primary school is approximate among boys and girls.
The table shows increasing trends in the percentage of repeaters in primary throughout the years, while
transition rates from primary to lower secondary have remained steady.
The study estimates a slight drop in the proportion of students who are able to conclude secondary school.
The rates of effective transition from primary to lower secondary levels in Panama¿s educational system
�uctuated considerably in 2020.
Respondido em 12/09/2023 18:13:43
Explicação:
The use of the expression "approximate" to characterize the noun "rates" is justi�ed because numbers related to boys and
girls are close when it comes to this line on the table: around 86%. The other options refer to trends that are not
consistent with the information provided by the table.

 The writer develops a narrative about the particular experiences of a person in order to tackle the issue at
hand.
The author cites a specialist in the �eld of Human Resources so as to support the thesis statement.
The author ends the paragraph with a rhetorical question to be answered by supporting paragraphs.
Respondido em 12/09/2023 18:05:34

Indeed, instead of displaying the most important information regarding the issue (exposing the whats and whys), the
author alludes to the personal experiences of a worker to illustrate the theme she is about to tackle. She thus: "develops a
narrative about the particular experiences of a person in order to tackle the issue at hand".

In the book Academic Writing for Graduate Students by Swales and Feak, three rhetorical moves are identi�ed.
These moves should function as guidelines for the writing of the introduction to argumentative texts as well as the
building up of the thesis statement. Mark the alternative with the adequate description of the third rhetorical move,
according to Swales and Feak:
(1) Establishing a research territory; (2) establishing a niche; and (3) occupying the niche.
 (1) Outlining the purpose and the nature of the research; (2) announcing its principal �ndings; and (3)
indicating the structure of the research paper.
(1) Establishing a research territory; (2) establishing a niche; and (3) extending previous knowledge.

Explicação:
The third rhetorical move aims at occupying the niche de�ned by the research, by means of outlining the purpose and
nature of the research, announcing its main �ndings, and indicating the structure of the research paper. Therefore, the
only correct answer is: "(1) Outlining the purpose and the nature of the research; (2) announcing its principal �ndings; and
(3) indicating the structure of the research paper."

There are some basic components that account for the narrative's internal structure. Mark the alternative that
presents a correct statement about a narrative's features:
When a logical cause-and-effect relationship unites the chain of events, the narrative tends to sound more
far-fetched.
Present tenses �gure among the most recurrent verb forms within narratives.
A narrative¿s temporal juncture is always strictly organized by the chronological sequencing of events that
make up the plot.
Actions narrated in the past tend to make experiences sound fresh and vivid, charging them with more
emotional tension.
 The Past Perfect is typically used in narratives to signal which action came about �rst.

Respondido em 12/09/2023 18:10:47
Explicação:
The past tenses are commonly used in narratives. To convey that a past action happened before another one, the past
perfect is chosen. Therefore, the past perfect plays an important function in the sequencing of past actions, since it points
out those events that happened at an earlier point in time. Cause-and-effect relationships make the narrative sound more
plausible and not the other way around. What¿s more, to make experiences sound fresh and vivid, the historical present is
usually preferred. The correct option is then: "ThePast Perfect is typically used in narratives to signal which action came
about �rst."
