qual tem por equivalência em inglês “that”.

38. They haven’t _____ thought of it________.

a) whether /yet
b) even / yet

MUDE SUA VIDA!

27

b) too hard for that
c) too hard, so
d) so hard so that
e) even / only
COMENTÁRIO:
Os advérbios (too e very) no Inglês significam “muito”, em quase todos os

contextos. A diferença é que uma dessas palavras dá um tom negativo a suas frases.
Então vejamos a diferença. O Too tem uma conotação negativa e expressa a ideia de
mais do que é necessário, mais do que é adequado ou mais do que o suficiente, por
outro lado so (tão) indica algo de menor intensidade que very e too.
Resposta correta: C
42. - Hi, Geraldo! How do you feel ___________?

a) never
b) often
c) once
d) yet
e) today
COMENTÁRIO:
A questão requer o conhecimento dos advérbios de tempo “Adverbs of

time”. Levando em conta o tempo verbal da pergunta mencionada, a qual se encontra
no presente simples, isso se observa pelo uso do auxiliar DO, devemos escolher um
adverbio referente ao mesmo tempo verbal, ou seja, hoje.

MUDE SUA VIDA!

29
A questão traz um conselho quanto a operação de uma máquina, e uma

produto. Devemos, portanto, eleger um termo que descreva consequências ou que
implique em condições contrárias.
Resposta correta: C
44. The same as 'Mr. Burton hardly talked to me.' is:

a) Hardly did Mr. Burton talked to me.
b) Hardly Mr. Burton talked to me.
c) Hardly did Mr. Burton talk to me.
d) Did Mr. Burton hardly talk to me.
e) Mr. Burton talked to me hardly.
COMENTÁRIO:
Se pesquisarmos em um dicionário inglês-português, vamos ler que o

significado de HARDLY mais comum é “quase não” ou “mal”. No caso em questão, a
opção que traz o mesmo sentido da frase mencionada é “hardly did Mr. Burton talk
to me”, implicando que o senhor Burton mal ou quase nunca falava comigo.
Resposta correta: C
45. A sentença "MAL SABIA ELE QUE ELA ERA CASADA", em inglês, seria:
a) He didn't little know that she married.
b) Did he little know that she was married.
c) Badly knew he that she married.
d) Little did he know that she was married.
e) Little knew he that she was married.
COMENTÁRIO:
A questão pede a tradução da frase mencionada, o que se deve levar em conta

de fato é a expressão equivalente a “MAL SABIA”. Isso porque para dizer “mal sabia”,
em inglês é bem diferente, pois troca-se a palavra “mal” pela palavra “pouco”. ...
“Mal sabia ele” em inglês se diz little did he know.
Resposta correta: D
46. Mark the sentence which contains an emphatic element.

a) "The sky's the limit."

e) "Sky watching reminds you that you're part of a much larger picture."
COMENTÁRIO:
A questão solicita a alternativa a qual apresente um elemento enfático, desta

forma temos, "Even", que significa "até", "até mesmo" em frases afirmativas. Em
frases negativas, "even" tem o sentido de "nem", "nem mesmo".
Ex: It is easy. Even I know it. [É fácil. Até (mesmo) eu sei.]
Resposta correta: C
47. Indicate the alternative that best completes the following sentence.
"Seldom __________ such an intelligent man."
a) talked I to
b) have I talked to
c) did I talked to
d) I have talked to
e) had I talk to

A questão solicita o tempo verbal que indique um relato de experiencia, neste

caso o “present perfect” cuja estrutura é [have/has + participle], levando em conta
a frase em português temos: "Raramente conversei com um homem tão inteligente."
Resposta correta: B
48. Assinale a alternativa correta:

a) He played the piano bad extremely.
b) He played the piano extreme bad.

MUDE SUA VIDA!

a) surprisingly
b) very surprise
c) often surprise

surpreendentemente diferentes em diferentes culturas, devemos escolher o termo
que traga equivalência com a palavra surpreendentemente, desta forma, um
adverbio de modo (geralmente formado pelo sufixo LY) em inglês”.
Resposta Correta: A
50. The plane landed very ___________, as if it were very light.

a) seldom
b) slowly
c) only

MUDE SUA VIDA!
