Compare the following sentences:
i -  I rarely go out.
ii -  Rarely do I go out.
Regarding their meanings, it is correct to af�rm that:
 They differ in terms of focus, since in i) the adverbial is given prominence.
They have similar meanings.
They differ in terms of focus, since in i) the action is given prominence.
 They differ in terms of focus, since in ii) the adverbial is given prominence.
i shows a clear case of inversion.

In ii) there is a verb-subject inversion due to the fronting of the adverbial (rarely). Whenever a word is placed at the
beginning of the sentence there is a change in focus. Even though both sentences may seem at �rst to convey basically
the same message, their difference resides in the focus being given to the adverbial in ii). Therefore, they differ in
terms of focus, since in ii) the adverbial is given prominence.

Virologist at Columbia University Angela Rasmussen suggests avoiding public transportation, if possible,
especially if crowded.
"Any type of public transportation that has a lot of people crowded together in an enclosed, poorly ventilated
space is an environment with increased transmission risk," Rasmussen tells Newsweek. "This especially applies
to packed subway cars or public buses."
Feinberg says there is not an issue with ventilation within subway cars; in fact, MTA's numbers surpass the
recommendation promoted by the CDC. [1] Though there are no standards for subway cars, the MTA has
adapted the guidelines for the air exchange rates for health care facilities. She says that [2] while the
recommendation from the CDC is 10 times per hour, the subway's numbers are upwards of 16 or 18 times per
hour. "It doesn't mean we are perfect, we are always looking for what else we can do," Feinberg says."But we are
in a pretty good place there."
The issue of crowding, though, is really up to the rider, Feinberg adds.
Patience is key, the virologist explains. [3] If a train pulls up that is too crowded to allow for appropriate social
distancing, then wait for the next one.

What is the function of the Adverbial Clauses [1], [2], and [3] respectively?
Place, Condition, Reason
Reason, Purpose, Result
Time, Place, Manner
 Contrast, Time, Condition
Manner, Contrast, Place
Respondido em 29/10/2023 10:45:50
Explicação:
Contrast, Time, Condition (CORRECT). The subordinator THOUGH is used to convey CONTRAST. Subordinator
WHILE refers to TIME and the subordinator IF is used to indicate CONDITION. None of the subordinators used in the
highlighted clauses indicate Time, Place, or Manner. None of the subordinators used in the highlighted clauses
indicate Reason, Purpose, or Result.

Choose the option providing the correct classi�cation (followed by a suitable explanation) for the clauses
between brackets:
E-waste is a health and environmental hazard, containing toxic additives or hazardous substances such as
mercury, which damages the human brain and / or coordination system.
Source: Global e-waste surging: up 21 per cent in 5 years (who.int)

 It is a restrictive relative clause because it provides additional (and omissible) information on the effects
of mercury on human health.
 It is a nonrestrictive relative clause because it provides additional (and omissible) information on the
effects of mercury on human health.
It is a relative adverbial because, similarly to adverbs, it provides the circumstances in which mercury
damages human health.
It is a nonrestrictive relative clause because it speci�es how mercury harms the human body.
It is a restrictive relative clause because it speci�es how mercury harms the human body.
Respondido em 29/10/2023 10:46:16
Explicação:
When it comes to distinguishing nonrestrictive and restrictive relative clause, it is always important to take a closer
look at punctuation - or the lack of it. The clause between brackets is a nonrestrictive relative clause because it is kept
apart from the main clause by a comma and the information it provides is omissible. It does not de�ne or specify
mercury. It only makes a comment on its harmful effects on the human body. The correct alternative is thus: "It is a
nonrestrictive relative clause because it provides additional (and omissible) information on the effects of mercury on
human health".

Poor households with multiple children may expect girls [to help with household chores] and [care for younger
siblings and other family members].
Research shows [that the incidence of violence against girls and women has increased during covid-19].
Adapted from: Girls' Education Overview In: https://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/girlseducation#1
Why do we classify the clauses between brackets as clausal complements?
Because they characterize head nouns from the main clauses.
Because they limit the meaning conveyed by noun phrases in the main clauses.
 Because they are necessary and complete the main clauses occupying positions that are typically
ful�lled by nouns.
Because they elicit additional (and unnecessary) information to describe noun phrases from the main
clauses.
 Because they provide circumstantial meaning (such as the meanings of time, reason or manner),
resembling the roles played adverbs.

Explicação:
Alternatives "Because they characterize head nouns from the main clauses", "Because they limit the meaning
conveyed by noun phrases in the main clauses" and "Because they elicit additional (and unnecessary) information to
describe noun phrases from the main clauses" describe roles played by relative clauses, whereas "Because they
provide circumstantial meaning (such as the meanings of time, reason or manner), resembling the roles played
adverbs" refers to the function of adverbial clauses. Option "Because they are necessary and complete the main
clauses occupying positions that are typically ful�lled by nouns" is the only one that correctly asserts the role played
by clausal complements.

Analyze the questions below so as to identify their main functions
i- Are you coming tomorrow?
ii- Which do you prefer: coffee or tea?
 in i) we want to invite the addressee to indicate whether a proposition is true or not.
we use ii) when we ask about missing information.
in i) we want to invite the addressee to select among alternatives presented.
we use i) and ii) to make random elicitation.
in i) and ii) the addressee is unknown.
Respondido em 29/10/2023 10:48:59
Explicação:
Question i) is a Yes-no question whose main function is to ask my interlocutor, or addressee to indicate whether a
statement is true or not; whereas question ii) is an alternativequestion whose main function is to ask my interlocutor
to choose among the options given. Therefore, the only correct option is the one that states that "we want to invite
the addressee to indicate whether a proposition is true or not".

With restaurants, stores and even public pools and beaches now open after months of being shuttered, some
New Yorkers might wonder whether it's safe to swipe their Metrocards again and hop on the train or bus.
Interim MTA President Sarah Feinberg says, "It's time to come back."
In May, the MTA restricted its otherwise 24/7 service and began shutting down trains from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. in
order to completely sanitize each car.
"We're doing 24/7 cleaning," Feinberg tells Newsweek. "But, it obviously is helpful for us to be able to have the
system completely free of all riders in those overnight hours, [1] in order that we can be particularly ef�cient."
In the beginning of March, [2] when the virus began affecting New York City, MTA workers were not allowed to
wear masks while on duty - in alignment with the CDC recommendations at the time. The ban was then lifted [3]
after there was a backlash from the Transport Workers Union Local 100, the New York Daily News reported.
The MTA reports that 4,110 MTA employees have tested positive for the virus as of July 29.

The subordinators used in the dependent clauses [1], [2], and [3] can be respectively classi�ed as:
Complex, Complex, Complex
Simple, Complex, Simple
Simple, Simple, Simple
 Complex, Simple, Simple
Simple, Simple, Complex
Respondido em 29/10/2023 10:52:26
Explicação:
Complex, Simple, Simple Complex (CORRECT). A complex subordinator contains more than one word, which is the
case of IN ORDER THAT. A Simple Subordinator is composed of only ONE word, which is the case of WHEN and
AFTER.

Respondido em 29/10/2023 10:53:26
Explicação:
You are asked to rephrase a nonrestrictive relative clause and, therefore, you must use either a dash or a comma to
keep it apart from the main clause. Besides paying attention to punctuation, you must also preserve the preposition,
even if you choose to delete the relative pronoun which. The only option in which both the nonrestrictive relative
clause is maintained and the preposition is correctly being used is: "This IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of
1.5°C was formally approved by the world's governments in 2018 - the year the IPCC celebrates its 30th anniversary
in."

 Relative clause.
 Finite wh- clausal complement.
Non-�nite ing- clausal complement.
Finite that- clausal complement.
Non-�nite to- clausal complement.
Respondido em 29/10/2023 10:57:47
Explicação:
the verb phrase from the main clause "can¿t tell" is completed "how strong she is", a clausal complement that functions
as the direct object. Since the clause initiates with a wh-word, it falls under the "�nite wh- clausal complement"
category. It is not a relative clause, as it does not start with a relative pronoun. Also, as the verb within the clause is
in�ected "is", it cannot be an example of a non-�nite clause.
