QUESTÃO 02
(ENEM/2020) Finally, Aisha finished with her customer and asked what colour Ifemelu wanted for her hair attachments.
“Colour four.” “Not good colour,” Aisha said promptly. “Colour four.”
“Not good colour,” Aisha said promptly.
“That’s what I use.”
“It look dirty. You don’t want colour one?”
“Colour one it too black. It looks fake,” Ifemelu said,
loosening her headwrap. “Sometimes I use colour two, but colour four is closest to my natural colour.” […] She touched Ifemelu’s hair. “Why you don’t have relaxer?” “I like my hair the way God made it.” “But how do you comb it? Hard to comb,” Aisha said. Ifemelu had brought her own comb. She gently combed her hair, dense, soft and tightly coiled, until it framed her head like a halo. “It’s not hard to comb if you moisturize it properly,” she said, slipping into the coaxing tone of the proselytizer that she used whenever she was trying to convince other black women about the merits of wearing their hair natural. Aisha snorted; she clearly could not understand why anybody would choose to suffer through combing natural hair, plucked a little attachment from the pile on the table ad began deftly to twist.

A pet is certainly a great friend. After a difficult day, pet owners quite literally feel the love. In fact, for nearly 25 years, research has shown that living with pets provides certain health benefits. Pets help lower blood pressure and lessen anxiety. They boost our immunity. They can even help you get dates. Allergy Fighters: A growing number of studies have suggested that kids growing up in a home with “furred animals” will have less risk of allergies and asthma. Date Magnets: Dogs are great for making love connections. Forget internet matchmaking – a dog is a natural conversation starter. Dogs for the Aged: Walking a dog or just caring for a pet – for elderly people who are able – can provide exercise and companionship. Good for Mind and Soul: Like any enjoyable activity, playing with a dog can elevate levels of serotonin and dopamine – nerve transmitters that are known to have pleasurable and calming properties. Good for the Heart: Heart attack patients who have pets survive longer than those without, according to several studies.

QUESTÃO 10
(ENEM/2016-adapted) Read the following text.
BOGOF is used as a noun as in ‘There are some great bogofs on at the supermarket’ ou an adjective, usually with a word such as ‘offer’ or ‘deal’ — ‘there are some great bogof offers in store’.
When you combine the first letters of the words in a phrase or the name of an organisation, you have an acronym. Acronyms are spoken as a word so NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organisation) is not pronounced N-A-T-O. We say NATO. Bogof, when said out loud, is quite comical for a native speaker, as it sounds like an insult, ‘Bog off!’, meaning go away, leave me alone, slightly childish and a little old-fashioned.
BOGOF is the best-known of the supermarket marketing strategies. The concept was first imported from the USA during the 1970s recession, when the food prices were very high. It came back into fashion in the late 1990s, led by big supermarket chains trying to gain a competitive advantage over each other. Consumers were attracted by the idea that they could get something for nothing. Who could possibly say ‘no’?
Considerando-se as informações do texto, a expressão “bogof” é usada para
(A) anunciar mercadorias em promoção. (B) pedir para uma pessoa se retirar. (C) comprar produtos fora de moda. (D) indicar recessão na economia. (E) chamar alguém em voz alta.
