Prova de 2017: Universidade Estadual do Ceará (UECE) — questões com gabarito

Sabe-se que o pretérito mais-que-perfeito do indicativo é empregado quando se quer mencionar um passado que ocorreu antes de outro passado. Atente ao emprego desse tempo verbal no excerto abaixo e ao que se diz em seguida.

“Luciana quis aproximar-se das pessoas grandes, mas lembrou-se do que lhe tinha acontecido na véspera. Andara com mamãe pela cidade, percorrera diversas ruas, satisfeita. Num lugar feio e escorregadio, onde a água da chuva empoçava, resistira, acuara e caíra no chão, sentara-se na lama, esperneando e berrando. Em casa, antes de tirar-lhe a camisa suja, mamãe lhe infligira três palmadas enérgicas. Por quê? Luciana passara o dia tentando reconciliar-se com o ser poderoso que lhe magoara as nádegas.” (linhas 10- 21)

I. Há, no início do excerto transcrito, formas do pretérito perfeito do indicativo.

II. Tinha acontecido é uma locução verbal que configura o mais-que-perfeito composto, equivalendo, portanto, à forma simples, acontecera.

III. Das formas do pretérito perfeito, a que vai determinar o emprego do pretérito-mais-que-perfeito, no excerto transcrito (andara, percorrera, resistira, acuara, caíra e sentara) é lembrou. Todas essas ações ocorreram antes da lembrança, do contrário não poderiam ser lembradas.

Está correto o que se diz em

Atente ao que se diz sobre as orações do seguinte excerto: “Ouvindo rumor na porta da frente e os passos conhecidos de tio Severino, Luciana ergueu-se estouvada, saiu do corredor, entrou na sala, parou indecisa, esperando que a chamassem. Ninguém reparou nela”. (linhas 1-5)

I. A primeira oração, construída com o verbo ouvir no gerúndio, pode ser reescrita da seguinte maneira: (Quando ouviu rumor na porta da frente e os passos conhecidos de tio Severino, Luciana...).

II. Os verbos empregados no pretérito perfeito do indicativo sugerem que as ações de Luciana (ergueu-se, saiu, entrou, parou) foram percebidas pelo narrador depois de concluídas.

III. Embora sem um conectivo que evidencie uma relação semântica entre as últimas orações do trecho, pode-se depreender um sentido de adição (e esperou) e de oposição (chamassem, mas), ligando-as.

      As growth slows in wealthy countries, Western food companies are aggressively expanding in developing nations, contributing to obesity and health problems.

      FORTALEZA, Brazil — Children’s squeals rang through the muggy morning air as a woman pushed a gleaming white cart along pitted, trash-strewn streets. She was making deliveries to some of the poorest households in this seaside city, bringing pudding, cookies and other packaged foods to the customers on her sales route.

      Celene da Silva, 29, is one of thousands of door-to-door vendors for Nestlé, helping the world’s largest packaged food conglomerate expand its reach into a quarter-million households in Brazil’s farthestflung corners.

      As she dropped off variety packs of Chandelle pudding, Kit-Kats and Mucilon infant cereal, there was something striking about her customers: Many were visibly overweight, even small children.

      She gestured to a home along her route and shook her head, recalling how its patriarch, a morbidly obese man, died the previous week. “He ate a piece of cake and died in his sleep,” she said.

      Mrs. da Silva, who herself weighs more than 200 pounds, recently discovered that she had high blood pressure, a condition she acknowledges is probably tied to her weakness for fried chicken and the Coca-Cola she drinks with every meal, breakfast included.

      Nestlé’s direct-sales army in Brazil is part of a broader transformation of the food system that is delivering Western-style processed food and sugary drinks to the most isolated pockets of Latin America, Africa and Asia. As their growth slows in the wealthiest countries, multinational food companies like Nestlé, PepsiCo and General Mills have been aggressively expanding their presence in developing nations, unleashing a marketing juggernaut that is upending traditional diets from Brazil to Ghana to India.

      A New York Times examination of corporate records, epidemiological studies and government reports — as well as interviews with scores of nutritionists and health experts around the world — reveals a sea change in the way food is produced, distributed and advertised across much of the globe. The shift, many public health experts say, is contributing to a new epidemic of diabetes and heart disease, chronic illnesses that are fed by soaring rates of obesity in places that struggled with hunger and malnutrition just a generation ago.

      The new reality is captured by a single, stark fact: Across the world, more people are now obese than underweight. At the same time, scientists say, the growing availability of high-calorie, nutrient-poor foods is generating a new type of malnutrition, one in which a growing number of people are both overweight and undernourished.

      “The prevailing story is that this is the best of all possible worlds — cheap food, widely available. If you don’t think about it too hard, it makes sense,” said Anthony Winson, who studies the political economics of nutrition at the University of Guelph in Ontario. A closer look, however, reveals a much different story, he said. “To put it in stark terms: The diet is killing us.”

      Even critics of processed food acknowledge that there are multiple factors in the rise of obesity, including genetics, urbanization, growing incomes and more sedentary lives. Nestlé executives say their products have helped alleviate hunger, provided crucial nutrients, and that the company has squeezed salt, fat and sugar from thousands of items to make them healthier. But Sean Westcott, head of food research and development at Nestlé, conceded obesity has been an unexpected side effect of making inexpensive processed food more widely available.

      “We didn’t expect what the impact would be,” he said.

      Part of the problem, he added, is a natural tendency for people to overeat as they can afford more food. Nestlé, he said, strives to educate consumers about proper portion size and to make and market foods that balance “pleasure and nutrition.”

      There are now more than 700 million obese people worldwide, 108 million of them children, according to research published recently in The New England Journal of Medicine. The prevalence of obesity has doubled in 73 countries since 1980, contributing to four million premature deaths, the study found.
