Gabarito: a)

Vamos analisar as opções para substituir "nears" na frase "As the plane nears the runway":

- "follows" significa "segue", que não tem o mesmo sentido de se aproximar fisicamente de algo.
- "approaches" significa "aproxima-se", que é sinônimo de "nears".
- "draws near" também significa "aproxima-se".
- "moves towards" quer dizer "move-se em direção a", que é parecido com "nears".
- "comes close to" significa "fica perto de", também equivalente a "nears".

Portanto, a única palavra que não pode substituir "nears" nesse contexto é "follows".

Read the text below to answer the question.

How octopuses taste things by touching

Octopus arms have minds of their own. Each of these eight supple yet powerful limbs can explore the seafloor in search of prey, snatching crabs from hiding spots without direction from the octopus brain. But how each arm can tell what its grasping has remained a mystery.
Now, researchers have identified specialized cells not seen in other animals that allow octopuses to taste with their arms. Embedded in the suckers, these cells enable the arms to do double duty of touch and taste by detecting chemicals produced by many aquatic creatures. This may help an arm quickly distinguish food from rocks or poisonous prey, Harvard University molecular biologist Nicholas Bellono and his colleagues report online October 29 in Cell.
The findings provide another clue about the unique evolutionary path octopuses have taken toward intelligence. Instead of being concentrated in the brain, two-thirds of the nerve cells in an octopus are distributed among the arms, allowing the flexible appendages to operate semiindependently.

(Adapted from: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/octopus-taste-touch-arm-suckers).
In the text, the word octopus means, in Portuguese:
- a) Água-viva.
- b) Tubarão.
- c) Polvo.
- d) Lula.
