Noun classification includes variable agreement rules depending on the morphological form and semantic content, such as summation plurals and nouns ending in -s. Choose the alternative where the subject-verb agreement is grammatically correct regarding nouns ending in -s that are singular in meaning.

Prepositions can be simple one-word items or complex multi-word units that function as a single grammatical entity within a sentence. Regarding the classification and usage of prepositions, judge the following statements as True (T) or False (F): (__) "In spite of" is considered a complex preposition that functions grammatically in the same way as the simple preposition "despite". (__) "Regarding" and "concerning" are participles that have evolved to function as simple prepositions. (__) "Because" is a preposition, whereas "because of" acts as a subordinating conjunction introducing a clause. (__) "Due to" traditionally functions adjectivally (following "be"), while "owing to" functions adverbially, though this distinction is blurring. The correct sequence, from top to bottom, is: 

A estrutura do Sintagma Nominal (Noun Phrase − NP) permite ampla pré-modificação, na qual substantivos podem funcionar de modo semelhante a adjetivos para classificar o núcleo nominal. Assinale a alternativa que identifica corretamente a diferença semântica entre as estruturas "a computer operator" (substantivo em função adjetiva) e "a computer's operator" (genitivo).

Subordination complexifies sentences by establishing dependency relationships, often involving mood shifts and alternative syntactic structures like inversion. Select the option that correctly rewrites "If I had known about the meeting, I would have attended" using conditional inversion without a conjunction. 

Textual genres are defined by their communicative purpose, structure, and register, while text types focus on the rhetorical mode of discourse. Regarding the distinction between expository and argumentative text types, judge the items as True (T) or False (F): (__) Expository texts aim primarily to inform, explain, or describe a subject to the reader without necessarily persuading them. (__) Argumentative texts must strictly avoid subjective modalities, evaluative adjectives, or first-person pronouns. (__) Editorials fall primarily under the expository category as they objectively report facts without taking a stance. (__) Academic essays typically combine the exposition of facts with the argumentation of a specific thesis or viewpoint. The correct sequence, from top to bottom, is: 

Lexico-grammar involves the interdependence of vocabulary and syntax, often manifesting in fixed or semi-fixed expressions known as binomials. Analyze the following assertions regarding irreversible binomials and their semantic or phonological constraints: I. In the expression "odds and ends," the word order is fixed and cannot be reversed to "ends and odds" without losing idiomaticity. II. The expression "back and forth" implies a movement, whereas "forth and back" is the standard form used in formal British English. III. Reversing binomials like "bread and butter" to "butter and bread" is grammatically incorrect and disrupts the semantic unity. Select the correct analysis:

The voice system allows the speaker to adjust the focus of the proposition, but some verbs bridge the gap between active and passive, known as ergative or labile verbs. Analyze the assertions regarding ergative verbs in English syntax: I. In the sentence "The window broke," the verb functions intransitively with a passive meaning, despite having active morphology and no explicit agent. II. Ergative verbs require an agent in the subject position to be grammatically correct in the active voice. III. "The book reads well" is an example of a middle voice construction where the grammatical subject undergoes the action. Select the correct analysis:

A Morfologia trata dos processos de formação de palavras, nos quais prefixos e sufixos alteram o significado ou a classe gramatical (afixos que mudam de classe versus afixos que mantêm a classe). Quanto à morfologia derivacional, julgue as afirmativas a seguir como Verdadeiras (V) ou Falsas (F): (__) O sufixo "-ment" é um afixo que muda a classe gramatical, normalmente transformando verbos em substantivos (por exemplo, develop → development). (__) O prefixo "un-" altera a classe gramatical da palavra-base (por exemplo, transformando um adjetivo em verbo). (__) O sufixo "-ize" (ou "-ise") é utilizado para derivar verbos a partir de substantivos ou adjetivos (por exemplo, modern → modernize). (__) Em inglês, os prefixos geralmente alteram a classe da palavra, enquanto os sufixos geralmente alteram apenas o significado. A sequência correta de cima para baixo é:

Os verbos multi-palavra são classificados de acordo com seu comportamento sintático quanto à posição do objeto e à natureza da partícula. Analise as assertivas a seguir sobre a sintaxe dos phrasal verbs e dos prepositional verbs: I. "Look forward to" é um verbo phrasal-prepositional de três partes e é inseparável, de modo que o objeto deve ocorrer após a cadeia de partículas. II. No phrasal verb "turn on" (transitivo e separável), quando o objeto é um pronome (por exemplo, it), ele deve ser colocado entre o verbo e a partícula. III. Prepositional verbs como "rely on" permitem que o objeto seja colocado antes da preposição (por exemplo, rely it on) para dar ênfase. Está correto o que se afirma em: 

Cohesion is achieved through grammatical and lexical devices that link parts of a text, establishing semantic unity through reference direction. Identify the alternative that presents a clear case of cataphoric reference, where the pronoun precedes its specific referent.
