1What is the primary communicative objective and characteristic discourse style of a 'texto expositivo-explicativo' (expository-explanatory text)?
A.To persuade the reader through emotional appeals and subjective aesthetic impressions
B.To convey objective, structured information clearly to explain a phenomenon, concept, or process to the reader
C.To narrate fictional events through a sequence of chronological actions driven by imaginary characters
D.To establish formal legal decrees and impose administrative penalties on civil institutions
Explanation: A 'texto expositivo-explicativo' aims primarily to transmit knowledge and explain concepts or phenomena in an objective, logically structured manner. It typically uses clear informative language, present indicative verbs, passive or impersonal constructions, and logical connectors.
2In the canonical macrostructure of an argumentative text ('texto argumentativo'), what is the primary function of the 'tese' (thesis)?
A.To summarize incidental biographical background about the author's personal life
B.To present the central proposition or viewpoint that the author intends to defend through evidence and reasoning
C.To list contradictory historical anecdotes without taking any identifiable stance
D.To provide an exhaustive glossary defining every technical term used in the text
Explanation: The 'tese' is the core assertion or viewpoint that the author formulates and undertakes to defend throughout the argumentative text. The rest of the text provides arguments, evidence, counter-argumentation, and a concluding synthesis supporting this central claim.
3Which of the following best distinguishes an 'artigo de opinião' (opinion article) from an objective news report ('notícia') in journalistic discourse?
A.The opinion article is signed by an author who expresses a subjective perspective and defends an explicit viewpoint on a current topic
B.The opinion article is strictly anonymous and must never contain personal pronouns or modalizing adverbs
C.The news report focuses exclusively on future speculative events rather than verifiable factual occurrences
D.The opinion article is always written in verse and follows rigid metric scansion patterns
Explanation: An 'artigo de opinião' is a signed journalistic-argumentative piece in which the author assumes personal responsibility for analyzing a topical issue from a subjective, persuasive standpoint. In contrast, a 'notícia' strives for objective, factual reporting without overt authorial stance.
4What is the defining characteristic of a 'crónica' as cultivated in Angolan and Lusophone journalism and literature?
A.It is an exhaustive statistical treatise presenting quantitative demographic data without narrative elements
B.It is a hybrid literary-journalistic text offering short, sensitive, often humorous or satirical reflections inspired by everyday urban and social life
C.It is a legally binding judicial report submitted exclusively to court magistrates
D.It is an epic mythological poem dedicated solely to ancient Greco-Roman deities
Explanation: A 'crónica' occupies the boundary between journalism and creative literature, using everyday events, social vignettes, humor, irony, and poetic sensibility to engage the reader in brief reflections on daily urban life and human nature.
5In dramatic texts ('texto dramático'), what is the precise function of 'didascálias' (stage directions / texto secundário)?
A.To record the main dialogue spoken aloud by the characters on stage
B.To provide instructions on staging, actors' gestures, movements, tone of voice, lighting, and scenery
C.To present the publisher's commercial sales catalog and ISBN registration details
D.To recite rhymed choral eulogies at the conclusion of every theatrical performance
Explanation: In drama, 'didascálias' (or texto secundário) are instructions written by the playwright—usually in italics or brackets—indicating setting, character actions, movements, facial expressions, tone, and technical staging details.
6In textual linguistics, what cohesive mechanism occurs when a pronoun or lexical item refers back to an antecedent that appeared earlier in the text?
A.Catáfora
B.Anáfora
C.Pleonasmo vicioso
D.Zeugma
Explanation: 'Anáfora' is the cohesive process of referring back to an entity, concept, or word previously mentioned in the discourse (the antecedent), ensuring continuity and thematic progression.
7Consider the sentence: 'Todos sabiam **isto**: que a educação transforma uma nação.' Which cohesive device is exemplified by the demonstrative pronoun 'isto'?
A.Catáfora, because 'isto' anticipates the information explained in the subsequent clause
B.Anáfora, because 'isto' recalls an antecedent mentioned in a previous paragraph
C.Elipse, because the main verb of the sentence has been completely omitted
D.Hipérbato, because the normal syntactic order of subject and verb has been reversed
Explanation: 'Isto' functions cataforically here because it points forward to announce content ('que a educação transforma uma nação') that will be stated immediately after in the sentence.
8Which of the following sentences illustrates cohesion through 'elipse' (grammatical ellipsis)?
A.Manuel estuda no Huambo e Teresa [estuda] em Benguela.
B.O professor chegou muito atrasado porque o trânsito estava congestionado.
C.Viriato da Cruz escreveu poesias inesquecíveis durante a sua juventude.
D.Luanda é a capital política e económica de Angola.
Explanation: In 'Manuel estuda no Huambo e Teresa em Benguela', the verb 'estuda' is omitted in the second clause through ellipsis (specifically zeugma) because it is easily retrieved from the first clause, avoiding redundant repetition.
9In formal Portuguese discourse, what logical inter-sentential relationship is established by the connective 'por conseguinte'?
A.Opposition or contrast (adversidade)
B.Logical consequence or conclusion (conclusão/consequência)
C.Temporal condition (temporalidade condicional)
D.Direct spatial comparison (comparação locativa)
Explanation: 'Por conseguinte' is a formal conclusive/consecutive connector synonymous with 'portanto', 'logo', or 'por isso', indicating that the following statement is a direct logical deduction or result of what preceded.
10In text linguistics, what characterizes 'progressão temática linear' (linear thematic progression)?
A.The theme (known topic) remains identical across all sentences while predicates vary randomly
B.The rheme (new information) introduced in one sentence becomes the theme (starting topic) of the immediately following sentence
C.All sentences begin with negative conjunctions without introducing new rhemes
D.The paragraph alternates unpredictably between distinct unrelated themes without cohesive links
Explanation: In linear thematic progression (progressão linear de Danes), the rheme (new information, R1) of sentence 1 becomes the theme (given topic, T2) of sentence 2, whose rheme (R2) in turn becomes the theme (T3) of sentence 3, creating a chained progression.
