Essa questão está testando o conhecimento sobre expressões idiomáticas em inglês, especialmente aquelas relacionadas a recursos que se esgotam ou diminuem ao longo do tempo. É importante entender o sentido de cada expressão para escolher a que faz sentido no contexto da frase. "Fobbed off" significa enganar ou despachar alguém com desculpas. "Warded off" é afastar ou evitar algo negativo, como doenças ou problemas. "Bulked out" quer dizer aumentar o volume ou a massa de algo. "Petered out" significa diminuir gradualmente até desaparecer ou acabar completamente. "Marked out" refere-se a marcar ou delimitar um espaço. Como o contexto fala de recursos que se acabaram, a expressão correta é "petered out". Portanto, a frase completa fica: "Unfortunately, the city council had to stop the construction of the community centre as their resources petered out.". Gabarito: d.

The role of pronunciation in non-native language teaching has been in a state of constant change. In the earlier approaches, foreign language pronunciation was either the result of exposure to the target language or of approaches which used complex sets of drills and repetitions. As suggested, to a large extent, the importance of pronunciation has always been determined by ideology and intuition rather than by research. Teachers have intuitively decided which features have the greatest effect on clarity and which are learnable in a classroom setting. Saito claims that while the morphological and syntactical levels of languages are taught in contextualized meaningful exercises, pronunciation practice is decontextualized due to the use of drills and repetition.
Pronunciation is one of the aspects of language both native and non-native teachers of English are not keen on teaching, and a lack of adequate teacher training results in an intuitive use of available materials and techniques. Setting pedagogical goals must be based on knowledge of pronunciation issues. Unqualified teachers may have misconceptions about phonological phenomena, cannot evaluate or use teaching materials accurately, and do not set realistic goals when teaching pronunciation. Furthermore, even teaching materials do not reflect the conclusions of current research, and they can be perceived as boring; however, Baker argues that teachers who complete a pronunciation course have, and apply, a wider range of pronunciation activities in their classrooms.

Identical twins go on separate vegan and meat diets to see difference they make to body

In 2021, a set of identical twins took part in an experiment that involved one going vegan while the other consumed meat to see which of these two diets is (1)________. The diets are complete polar opposites, but which one is being (2) ________ to your body?

Well, explorers Hugo and Ross Turner decided to put the plant-based and omnivore diets to the test to see which was better - with Hugo ditching meat and dairy and Ross sticking to a diet that included meat, dairy and fish. The twins took part in the Kings College London study over a 12-week period (3) ________ the same number of calories each day as well as carrying out the same gym training.

Hugo admitted that the switch to a plant-based diet hadn't been easy, but he eventually ended up feeling more energetic. "I was on the vegan diet and it really does take a hit on your body. I was now having to eat fruit and nuts and alternatives that didn't have any dairy in them - and so that meant I was eating a lot more wholesome food, which meant that my sugar levels were a lot satiated during the day. I felt like I had more energy."

On the other hand, Ross' meat-eating journey was a little different. As he said, his gym performance was 'up and down a little bit more'. He added that on some days of the challenge he felt 'very energetic' and on others he would have 'huge lulls'.

By the end of the 12-week study, the men found that the differences between the two diets weren't very significant, after all.

New Al System could prevent vessel collisions by reducing dependence on ship Captain

Researchers at Texas A&M University have created an intelligent Al system that can help prevent accidents and collisions at sea. Named 'Ship Collision Avoidance of Machine Learning and Radar Technology for Stationary Entities and Avoidance', or SMART-SEA, the platform works to decrease the dependence on ship captains.

The project team was led by Dr Mirjan Fürth, an assistant professor of ocean engineering, who was awarded a contract by the US Department of the Interior (DOI) and the US Department of Energy (DOE) through the Ocean Energy Safety Institute (OESI). It is not completely an autonomous system, rather it provides 'a human-in-theloop', who gives real-time instructions based on maritime traffic,weather and other factors.

This makes navigation safer and easier for the crew, transiting crucial or dangerous waterways by providing additional information and instructions. Collisions between vessels and accidents like ships hitting stationary structures like rigs or lighthouses are becoming common, and most are caused by human error. This Al system will help eliminate that, stated the project team.

Massive vessels have a lot of forward momentum that their shipping distances are measured in miles rather than metres. They also turn very slowly, meaning that any collision has to factor in this slow movement while also adjusting for sensor time lags, ocean current impacts and several other factors.

The Al system has been developed keeping all the above-mentioned factors in mind and is extremely accurate. The research team also said that the system combines raw radar imaging data with machine learning, enabling it to identify moving objects even in bad weather with limited visibility.

The machine learning algorithm detects stationary objects as well from a large distance. The system uses computational fluid dynamics models and machine learning, which have been previously trained on vessel motions, the team added. The system does all of this while complying with International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS).
