Luís Alves de Lima e Silva foi enviado ao Maranhão para combater a Balaiada, pacificou a região e retomou a vila de Caxias, recebendo o título de Barão de Caxias. Depois vieram os títulos de Conde, Marquês e Duque. A está errada: Caxias do Sul não originou o título. B é inventada. D é incorreta, pois a Guerra do Paraguai ocorreu depois do início da progressão nobiliárquica. E é incorreta, pois as Revoltas Liberais de 1842 renderam outros reconhecimentos, não o título de Barão. Referência: História do Brasil Império: Período Regencial, Balaiada. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível Guerra de 1982 entre Argentina e Inglaterra pela soberania das Malvinas. O conflito opôs a Argentina, governada pela junta militar, ao Reino Unido, de Margaret Thatcher, pela soberania do arquipélago. O Reino Unido venceu. A e D envolvem o Chile e disputas que não geraram essa guerra (Beagle quase causou conflito em 1978). B erra ao citar Ronald Reagan, pois a premiê era Thatcher. C erra ao incluir o Chile como beligerante. Referência: História contemporânea da América Latina: Guerra das Malvinas (1982). Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível Exploração no Sul e povoamento no Norte. As colônias do Sul (Virgínia, Carolinas, Geórgia) eram de exploração, com plantations, latifúndio e trabalho escravo para exportação. As do Norte (Nova Inglaterra) eram de povoamento, com pequenas propriedades, comércio e manufaturas. B inverte a localização. C, D e E usam critérios geográficos (litoral/interior, Leste/Oeste) que não correspondem à divisão clássica entre colônias de exploração e povoamento. Referência: História da América: colonização inglesa. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível A vacinação obrigatória de 1904 era contra a varíola. A Revolta da Vacina, no governo Rodrigues Alves, foi desencadeada pela lei que tornou obrigatória a vacina contra a varíola, conduzida por Oswaldo Cruz. A população reagiu à forma autoritária da campanha. Peste bubônica e febre amarela foram combatidas com outras medidas (extermínio de ratos e mosquitos), não com vacina obrigatória na revolta. A gripe espanhola é de 1918. Meningite não foi o motivo. Referência: História do Brasil: Primeira República, Revolta da Vacina (1904). Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível 'Is set to be' indica algo planejado, com prazo até 2028. 'Is set to be transformed by 2028' indica que a conversão está prevista para ocorrer até 2028. Assim, a atração pode abrir antes de 2028, o que é compatível com 'by'. B e D excluem abertura antes de 2028, mas 'by 2028' significa 'até'. C nega a abertura em 2028, contrariando o plano. E ('must') expressa obrigação, que o texto não afirma. Referência: Expressão 'be set to' e preposição 'by' para prazos. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível 'Actually' equivale a 'as a matter of fact'. 'Actually' introduz uma informação que reforça ou esclarece o que foi dito, sentido de 'na verdade'. 'As a matter of fact' tem exatamente esse valor. 'Recently' significa recentemente, falso amigo comum com 'actually'. 'For instance' introduz exemplo. 'In my view' indica opinião. 'Nonetheless' indica oposição, que não cabe aqui. Referência: Falsos cognatos e conectivos: actually = as a matter of fact. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível Os túneis tiveram usos diferentes ao longo do tempo. O texto informa que os túneis foram construídos como abrigos antiaéreos, tornaram-se sede de espionagem em 1944 e centro secreto de comunicações na Guerra Fria. Portanto, tiveram diferentes finalidades ao longo dos anos. A é falsa, pois haverá tecnologia moderna e adaptação. B não tem base no texto: o texto apenas compara o número de visitantes com o London Eye. C é falsa, pois os túneis nunca foram usados como abrigo. D é falsa, pois ingressos custarão mais de £30. Referência: Interpretação de texto: compreensão global. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível 'Bold' significa ousado, sem medo de correr riscos. Em 'a bold journey to digitize its classrooms', 'bold' qualifica uma iniciativa ousada e arriscada, de quem não tem receio de arriscar. Isso corresponde a 'not afraid of taking risks'. B (impossível de superar), D (ligado a um plano secreto) e E (prejudicial ou ilegal) não têm relação com o sentido de 'bold'. C é o oposto do significado correto. Referência: Vocabulário em contexto: adjetivo 'bold'. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível 'These challenges' retoma queda de aprendizado em telas e distrações dos dispositivos. Os parágrafos 2 e 3 apresentam os desafios: dificuldade de concentração e retenção ao usar telas, e distrações por jogos e navegação na web. A alternativa C resume ambos. A fala de aulas entediantes e lição de casa, o que não está no texto. B menciona custo dos aparelhos para os pais, ausente no texto. D diz que professores não estão preparados, sem apoio no texto. E trata o investimento de €104 milhões como desafio, mas ele é a solução adotada. Referência: Interpretação de texto: referência textual. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível 'While' como conjunção de concessão (1) e de simultaneidade (2). Em (1), 'while technology has its advantages, traditional methods are vital' expressa concessão (embora). Em (2), 'rebuild skills while continuing to use digital tools' expressa simultaneidade (enquanto). A mesma palavra, 'while', serve para as duas lacunas. 'And' e 'but' não funcionam em (1) após 'that' com a ideia de concessão e não encaixam com o gerúndio em (2) de modo coerente. 'Where' indica lugar e 'how' indica modo, que não cabem em nenhuma das lacunas. Referência: Conjunções em inglês: while (concessão e tempo). Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível Gabarito disponível Auxiliares em perguntas: does (3ª pessoa singular), are (they, plural), is (the iris), does (it). (1) 'What does Worldcoin gain' exige 'does' com sujeito singular na 3ª pessoa. (2) 'What are they planning' é presente contínuo com sujeito plural, logo 'are'. (3) 'Why is the iris so important' usa o verbo to be com sujeito singular. (4) 'How does it affect' usa 'does' com 'it'. A, B e D trazem 'do' com sujeito singular (Worldcoin) ou 'is' com 'they', ou 'do/are' fora da concordância. C erra em (2), pois 'do they planning' é incorreto: com o verbo no gerúndio exige-se 'are'. Referência: Gramática da língua inglesa: formação de perguntas com do/does e to be. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível O texto afirma que voz, impressão digital e íris são dados biométricos. No terceiro parágrafo, o texto diz que dados biométricos incluem traços de identificação como voz, impressão digital e íris. Isso confirma a alternativa B. A) O texto fala de cabines em shoppings, e não de escanear em casa e enviar por e-mail. C) França e Brasil impuseram proibições, e não estão apenas estudando a legalidade. D) O texto diz que muitas pessoas deram permissão sem perceber. E) A íris em filmes de ficção é o que já é realidade, e o texto não diz que será usada em filmes. B) está correta. Referência: Texto 'A New Trend in Cryptocurrency: Selling Your Iris'. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível 'Statelessness' é substantivo (sufixo -ness). O sufixo -ness forma substantivos abstratos a partir de adjetivos, como em 'stateless' → 'statelessness'. No texto a palavra aparece como núcleo de objeto ('prevent and end statelessness'). A) 'Stateless' é o adjetivo, não 'statelessness'. B) Não há sufixo -ly de advérbio. C) Não é artigo. E) Não é conjunção. D) está correta. Referência: Formação de palavras em inglês: sufixo -ness. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível 'Sitting exams' em inglês britânico significa 'taking exams'. 'To sit an exam' significa fazer uma prova. Por isso o sinônimo de 'sitting' nessa frase é 'taking'. A) paying (pagando), B) making (fazendo, no sentido de criar), D) standing (ficando em pé) e E) failing (reprovando) não têm o sentido de realizar uma prova. C) está correta. Referência: Vocabulário em contexto: phrasal/colocação 'sit an exam'. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível O texto sugere que há mais de 4,4 milhões de apátridas e que a apatridia se perpetua entre gerações. II está correta porque o texto diz que o número real é 'substantially higher'. IV está correta: se a criança não obtém nacionalidade, fica apátrida, o que perpetua a situação entre gerações, ou seja, um círculo vicioso. I está errada: o ACNUR defende direitos e previne a apatridia, mas o texto não diz que ajuda a mudar de país. III está errada: aceitam empregos informais por falta de alternativa legal, não por não terem conta bancária. V está errada: a maioria dos refugiados tem nacionalidade. B) está correta. Referência: Texto 'Stateless People' (UNHCR). Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos.EsPCEx — Concurso de Admissão 2025 — Provas de Matemática, Geografia, História e Inglês (2º dia) — Modelo D

Secret WWII tunnels under London to become new tourist attraction
A vast network of secret underground tunnels beneath central London, constructed during World War II, is set to be transformed into a major tourist attraction by 2028. The London Tunnels project, led by Angus Murray, aims to convert the historic Kingsway Exchange Tunnels into an immersive venue that combines a museum, exhibition space, and entertainment area, commemorating the tunnels' role in British history. With an estimated cost of £120 million ($149 million), the project seeks to attract up to three million visitors annually. Tickets are expected to cost over £30 ($37), and the attraction could rival visitor numbers of landmarks like the London Eye, which draws more than three million visitors each year.
The Kingsway Exchange Tunnels were originally built as air-raid shelters during the German bombing campaigns of World War II and were completed in 1942. However, by then, the bombing campaigns had ended, and the tunnels were never used for their intended purpose. Actually, their true significance emerged only later. In 1944, they were repurposed as a spy headquarters where Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, worked for the Naval Intelligence Service. The tunnels' connection to espionage adds a unique allure to the planned attraction, inviting visitors to explore a world filled with history, mystery, and wartime secrets. Post-war, the tunnels were expanded and became a top-secret communication center during the Cold War.
The tunnels have remained largely inaccessible to the public since the 1980s. The project aims to offer an immersive experience that merges historical preservation with modern technology. The attraction is set to include high-resolution immersive screens, interactive activities, hundreds of speakers, and scent-emitting technology to engage visitors fully. "One of the most thrilling global destinations," said Murray, envisioning the project as offering a unique journey through London's wartime past.

Sweden Reintroduces Traditional Books in Schools After Digital-Only Education Experiment
In 2009, Sweden embarked on a bold journey to digitize its classrooms, aiming to revolutionize the way students learn. The government envisioned a future where computers and tablets would transform education into an interactive and accessible experience. By replacing traditional textbooks with digital alternatives, Sweden sought to make learning more dynamic and prepare students for the digital demands of the 21st century.
Despite the initial optimism, the digital transition did not deliver the anticipated results. Although Sweden maintained its high ranking in global education standards, studies and feedback from educators and parents revealed challenges. One significant issue was the decline in essential skills such as reading and writing. Teachers noticed that students struggled to concentrate and retain information when using screens compared to traditional paper-based learning methods.
Distractions from digital devices further compounded the problem. Lots of students get sidetracked by games or surfing the web during class instead of sticking to their studies. While computers and tablets were intended for learning, students often used them for gaming or browsing the internet during school hours, reducing classroom engagement.
Recognizing these challenges, Sweden has decided to reverse course. From 2022 to 2025, the government will invest €104 million to provide every student with paper textbooks for each subject. The decision reflects the government’s understanding that (1)_____ technology has its advantages, traditional teaching methods are vital for fostering critical thinking and comprehension skills.
“This move is about finding a balance,” said Education Minister Lena Johansson. “We’re not abandoning digital tools altogether, but we’re ensuring that they complement rather than replace the foundational aspects of learning.” By reinstating printed material, Sweden hopes to rebuild fundamental learning skills (2)_____ continuing to use digital tools where they can add value. The new approach aims to harmonize digital and traditional methods to create a more comprehensive educational experience.

Stateless People
Stateless people are not recognized as citizens by any country. UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) advocates for their rights and works to prevent and end statelessness globally. Millions of people around the world are denied the right to a nationality, which leaves them stateless. As a result, they may be unable to access other basic rights and services. They are also often at a higher risk of exploitation and abuse. At the end of June 2024, UNHCR’s statistical reporting counted 4.4 million stateless people. Given that most countries do not report statelessness data, the actual figure is believed to be substantially higher. Stateless people can be found in almost every country and in all regions of the world, and most live in the same country in which they were born.
Stateless people face a lifetime of missed opportunities and disappointment. When they are born, their parents may not be able to register their birth, obtain a birth certificate or other legal identity documents. Without this, they often cannot be enrolled in school. If they do manage to enter school and receive education, they may be barred from sitting formal exams to progress or enter university, unless they can prove their legal identity. As an adult, they may not be allowed to work legally, which leaves them at an increased risk of exploitation and abuse as they take low-paying and informal jobs. They often cannot access public services like health care. They also frequently cannot open a bank account, vote, get a passport to travel, buy a home or even get married. Stateless people cannot confer a nationality on their children. If the child is unable to obtain a nationality through either of their parents or from the country of birth, they will also end up stateless, perpetuating statelessness across generations.
What is the difference between a stateless person and a refugee? A stateless person is not considered a national of any country. A refugee is someone who has fled their country to escape conflict or persecution and has crossed an international border. While most refugees have a nationality, a person can be both stateless and a refugee. However, the majority of stateless people live within the country in which they were born and have never crossed an international border.

However, the majority of stateless people live within the country in which they were born and have never crossed an international border.

Stateless People
Stateless people are not recognized as citizens by any country. UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) advocates for their rights and works to prevent and end statelessness globally. Millions of people around the world are denied the right to a nationality, which leaves them stateless. As a result, they may be unable to access other basic rights and services. They are also often at a higher risk of exploitation and abuse. At the end of June 2024, UNHCR’s statistical reporting counted 4.4 million stateless people. Given that most countries do not report statelessness data, the actual figure is believed to be substantially higher. Stateless people can be found in almost every country and in all regions of the world, and most live in the same country in which they were born.
Stateless people face a lifetime of missed opportunities and disappointment. When they are born, their parents may not be able to register their birth, obtain a birth certificate or other legal identity documents. Without this, they often cannot be enrolled in school. If they do manage to enter school and receive education, they may be barred from sitting formal exams to progress or enter university, unless they can prove their legal identity. As an adult, they may not be allowed to work legally, which leaves them at an increased risk of exploitation and abuse as they take low-paying and informal jobs. They often cannot access public services like health care. They also frequently cannot open a bank account, vote, get a passport to travel, buy a home or even get married. Stateless people cannot confer a nationality on their children. If the child is unable to obtain a nationality through either of their parents or from the country of birth, they will also end up stateless, perpetuating statelessness across generations.
What is the difference between a stateless person and a refugee? A stateless person is not considered a national of any country. A refugee is someone who has fled their country to escape conflict or persecution and has crossed an international border. While most refugees have a nationality, a person can be both stateless and a refugee. However, the majority of stateless people live within the country in which they were born and have never crossed an international border.

No início do Século XX, a população do Rio de Janeiro enfrentava sérios problemas sociais e de saneamento, com frequentes epidemias que levavam milhares de pessoas à morte.
