It Has a Long Way to Go.</p><p>Google presents itself to independent sellers as cheaper and less restrictive.

Now it __________something different: the anti-Amazon strategy.</p><p>Google is trying to present itself as a cheaper and less restrictive option for independent sellers. And it is focused</p><p>on driving traffic to sellers’ sites, not selling its own version of products, as Amazon does.</p><p>In the last year, Google eliminated fees for merchants and allowed sellers to list their wares in its search results</p><p>for free. It is also trying to make it easier for small, independent shops to upload their inventory of products to appear</p><p>in search results and buy ads on Google by teaming up with Shopify, which powers online stores for 1.7 million</p><p>merchants who sell directly to consumers.</p><p>But like Google’s many attempts during its two-decade quest to compete with Amazon, this one shows little sign</p><p>of working. Google has nothing as alluring as the $295 billion that passed through Amazon’s third-party marketplace</p><p>in 2020. The amount of goods people buy on Google is “very small” by comparison — probably around $1 billion, said</p><p>Juozas Kaziukenas, the founder of Marketplace Pulse, a research company.</p><p>Amazon is a fixture in the lives of many Americans. It has usurped Google as the starting point for shoppers and</p><p>has become equally essential for marketers. Amazon’s global advertising business grew 30 percent to $17.6 billion in</p><p>2020, trailing only Google and Facebook in the United States.</p><p>(Adapted from: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/27/technology/google-shopping-amazon.html)</p><p>46. (Estratégia Militares 2021 – Inédita – Prof. Leonardo Pontes) Fill in the blank with the suitable verb:</p><p>(A) is trying</p><p>(B) are trying</p><p>(C) trys</p><p>(D) is tring</p><p>(E) are tring</p><p>Comentários</p><p>A alternativa A está correta. O advérbio now (agora) é um indicador de present continuous, ou seja, uma ação</p><p>que está em progresso no presente, e possui a seguinte estrutura: verbo to be no presente (am / is / are) + verbo</p><p>principal com ING. Como o sujeito é “it” (terceira pessoa do singular) o verbo to be que utilizaremos é o “is” e portanto a</p><p>resposta correta é is trying.</p><p>Gabarito: A</p><p>C</p><p>P</p><p>F</p><p>1</p><p>74</p><p>19</p><p>45</p><p>77</p><p>19</p>
