American researchers have discovered that owning a pet can significantly reduce the risk of a common cancer. And that's not all."8There have been studies that have suggested pet owners are more likely to have higher self-worth and are less likely to suffer 2loneliness and depression," says Dr Deborah Wells of the University of Belfast, 9who has conducted several studies on the benefits of pet ownership. Wells says pets are particularly useful for children. "Pets can become like a therapist. If children are bullied at school, or their parents are getting divorced, 10children will often tell their pets their problems whereas they wouldn't always talk to a person."The routine and "normality" of having a pet can help people suffering a traumatic event, such as 3bereavement or a diagnosis of terminal illness.

Resposta da quest?o 2: [E]A alternativa [E] está correta, pois as lacunas devem ser completadas com a forma correta do particípio passado dos verbos. O tempo verbal que deve ser utilizado é o present perfect simple, devido ao uso do auxiliar has e de yet (ainda). Resposta da quest?o 3: [B]A alternativa [B] está correta, pois o Simple Past deve ser usado na primeira lacuna por se tratar de uma a??o em um momento específico no passado (no caso, o fato de Jude ter visto Mary no último domingo). Além disso, o Present Perfect deve ser usado na segunda lacuna por se tratar de uma a??o que come?ou no passado e que se estende até o presente (no caso, o fato de John n?o ver Mary há anos). Resposta da quest?o 4: [E]Afirma??o I – Incorreta: A express?o "is drowning" refere-se a uma a??o que ocorre no momento em que se fala (está se afogando).Afirma??o II – Incorreta: As express?es "have led" e "have made" referem-se a a??es indefinidas no passado.Afirma??o III – Incorreta: As palavras "demonstration" e "annually" s?o formadas por sufixa??o.Afirma??o IV – Incorreta: O pronome which refere-se a market e them refere-se a farmers Resposta da quest?o 5: [D]A alternativa [D] completa corretamente as lacunas. O texto pode ser entendido da seguinte maneira: "Boa parte da raiva foi direcionada em Makhzen, a corte real do Marrocos. 'O protesto é um direito legal, por que Makhzen está com medo?', multid?es em Casablanca cantavam. 'Saia Makhzen. Abaixo o despotismo'. Um correspondente da Reuters viu sete tropas de choque atacando um homem de barba na faixa dos 30 anos, repetidamente atingindo seu corpo e cabe?a, causando grave sangramento. 'Nós fomos chamados aqui para preservar a ordem por causa desse protesto n?o autorizado', disse um policial veterano na cena que se recusou a divulgar seu nome. Ninguém se encontrava disponível no Ministério do Interior para comentar sobre os relatos dos manifestantes. Resposta da quest?o 6: [C]O uso do tempo verbal present perfect na senten?a “We've been married for fifty years" denota que faz 50 anos que os avós s?o casados. Assim, a alternativa correta é a [C], pois afirma que “os avós da Nina se casaram 50 anos atrás”. Resposta da quest?o 7: 27 01 + 02 + 08 + 16 = 27.01) Correta. Os sufixos “-ship”, “-ness” e “-ment” s?o formadores de substantivo. “Ownership” significa propriedade, “loneliness”, solid?o e “bereavement”, luto.02) Correta. “Even” e "far” foram usadas como advérbios de intensidade. “Even fatter” significa ainda maior e “far better”, muito melhor.04) Incorreta. Na ora??o “there have been studies” (estudos têm sido feitos), o present perfect é utilizado com a ideia de que uma a??o que foi iniciada no passado ainda é feita no presente. O mesmo ocorre com a ora??o “who has conducted” (que tem conduzido). A afirma??o [04] está incorreta por apenas dizer que as a??es comunicadas pelas ora??es est?o acontecendo no presente, n?o especificando que elas foram iniciadas no passado.08) Correta. A conjun??o “whereas” significa enquanto, ao passo que, transmitindo a ideia de contraste.16) Correta. A palavra “close” é usada como adjetivo, significando próximo, íntimo. Resposta da quest?o 8: [D]A express?o “has won” está no tempo verbal Present Perfect Simple. Uma característica importante desse tempo verbal é a de que algumas vezes ele descreve a??es indefinidas no passado. O trecho destacado foi utilizado justamente dessa maneira: “ela ganhou prêmios por nove de suas grava??es de áudio e três por seus especiais de televis?o”.O candidato deve tomar cuidado com a alternativa [B], pois o Present Perfect é usado, em geral, da maneira que essa alternativa descreve (uma a??o que come?ou no passado e que continua no presente). Resposta da quest?o 9: [B] Quando queremos dizer que alguém partiu e ainda n?o retornou, devemos usar o Present Perfect com o verbo principal (“gone”). Resposta da quest?o 10: [C] Na primeira lacuna devemos utilizar o Present Perfect Tense, pois trata-se de uma a??o que teve início em um passado qualquer e ainda afeta o presente. Na segunda lacuna devemos utilizar o Simple Present, pois trata-se de um fato, segundo Jerry Seinfeld. Resposta da quest?o 11: [D]A forma??o do Presente Perfeito é composta de: Have (‘ve) ou Has (‘s) + Verbo Principal no Particípio Passado. Resposta da quest?o 12: [B] Uma vez que a marca temporal in 1959 (em 1959) foi utilizada, deve-se usar o simple past do verbo to go (went). Segundo o texto, o futebol africano se profissionalizou (went professional) em 1959. Na segunda lacuna, deve-se utilizar o simple past do verbo to be (were), pois concorda com o sujeito pioneers (pioneiros) e possui como referente temporal a express?o in the strict days of Apartheid (nos dias duros do Apartheid).Na terceira lacuna, deve-se utilizar o simple present do verbo to be (are), pois concorda com o núcleo do sujeito organizations (organiza??es) e possui como referente temporal o advérbio today (hoje). ................
