2a Questão (Ref.: 202009803995)
Some narrative components provide an outline of the narrative, others, orienting information
and/or evaluation and cause and consequence connections, while others close the narrative.
Mark the alternative that best classifies the following fragment from hooks¿ narrative:
In the end I did not feel as though I had killed the Gloria of my childhood. Instead I had
rescued her. She was no longer the enemy within, the little girl who had to be annihilated for
the woman to come into being. In writing about her, I reclaimed that part of myself I had
long ago rejected, left uncared for, just as she had often felt alone and uncared for as a
child. Remembering was part of a cycle of reunion, a joining of fragments, "the bits and
pieces of my heart" that the narrative made whole again.

concepts.

Read the introductory paragraph retrieved from an article. Then, label the statements about
it as either True (T) or False (F).

enjoying full capacity, and the injection of tourism funds has been a welcome boost to an
economy mainly reliant on steel production. While there's been talk of building more hotels
to handle an influx of tourists, cuttlefish season only lasts three to four months - so how do
tourism operators sustain themselves during the rest of the year?"

9a Questão (Ref.: 202009817770)
Choose the option which best describes the argumentative strategies employed in the
paragraph:
"As in any specialised field, there are well-known approaches and techniques for analytics
and visualisation that are already used by the community. We propose that our solution
starts with these." Retrieved from https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ail2.21
The authors appeal to logos when using their "solutions" to argue against their academic
"community".
The authors support their following claims appealing to the ethos of their field
"community", as the expression "well-known" indicates when characterizing their
methodology.
The authors resort to an overgeneralization to argue against their peers.
The use of the simple present tense in the second sentence is inadequate, since it refers
to a single study carried out long before.
The use of the pronoun "we" is a hedging strategy to denote distancing in their
argumentation.
10a Questão (Ref.: 202009817767)
The next paragraph is part of a corpus-assisted linguistic analysis of the occurrence of the
most common grammar-structures in international newspaper articles about the Covid-19
pandemic. Read and choose the alternative containing the argumentative strategy employed
by the authors:
"Table 4 shows a consistent increase in the normed frequency of both the number of
different noun phrases (types) and the times they were mentioned (tokens) over the year,
with a significant rise of 262% (log-likelihood = 5668.30, p < 0.001, %DIFF = −72.38). This
indicates the growing value of these phrases to journalists as they establish what come to be
commonly recognized entities, such as face covering, herd immunity and death
toll." Retrieved from https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ijal.12412
When alluding to the prestige of journalists who report the pandemic, they use what
Aristotle named an appeal to ethos to support their thesis.

The authors clearly resort to the Rogerian style of argumentation, since they want to
prevent readers from feeling threatened by death tolls.
In this paragraph, authors denounce an appeal to pathos since readers might feel touched
by the listed expressions.
The authors resort to a red herring, since journalists are not intertwined with the data
they are commenting on.
In terms of Aristotelian argumentative style, authors appeal to logos by supporting their
conclusive statement with percentage data.
