A Foreign Language: English

About one hundred years ago many educated people learned and spoke French when they met people.................... other countries. Today most people speak English when they meet foreigners. It has become the new international language. There are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak English as a first language. Why is this?
There are many reasons why English has become so popular. One............... them is that English has become the language of business. Another important reason is that popular American culture (like movies, music, and McDonald’s) has quickly spread throughout the world. It has brought its language it.
Is it good that English has spread all parts of the world so quickly? I don’t know. It’s important to have a language that the people of the earth have in common. Our world has become very global and we need to communicate with one another. On the other hand, English is a fairly complicated language to learn and it brings its culture with it. Do we really need that? 
Scientists have already tried to create an artificial language that isn’t too difficult and doesn’t include any one group’s culture. It is called Esperanto. But it hasn’t become popular. But maybe the popularity of English won’t last that long either. Who knows? There are more people in the world who speak Chinese than any other language. Maybe someday Chinese will be the new international language.

A alternativa correta é: B - T – F – T – T

Vamos analisar cada item e entender as razões para a escolha dessa alternativa:

1. "The words in bold in the text can be classified, respectively, as: 'them' object pronoun; 'Our' possessive adjective; 'we' subject pronoun."

Essa afirmação é VERDADEIRA. O pronome "them" é um object pronoun (pronome oblíquo); "Our" é um possessive adjective (adjetivo possessivo); e "we" é um subject pronoun (pronome sujeito).

2. "The affirmative form of the following sentence: 'But it hasn’t become popular.' is 'But it has became popular.'

Essa afirmação é FALSA. A forma afirmativa correta seria "But it has become popular." O verbo "become" no presente perfeito é irregular e não muda para "became."

3. "The infinitive forms of the following verbs: ‘spoke’, ‘brought’ and ‘spread’, are: ‘speak’, ‘bring’, and ‘spread’."

Essa afirmação é VERDADEIRA. A forma infinitiva dos verbos apresentados é corretamente identificada: "speak" (falar), "bring" (trazer) e "spread" (espalhar).

4. "In the sentence: 'But maybe the popularity of English won’t last that long either.', the underlined word is being used in the simple future."

Essa afirmação é VERDADEIRA. A palavra sublinhada "won’t" é a contração de "will not" e está sendo usada no tempo futuro simples.

As demais alternativas apresentam erros que já foram explicados nos itens acima:

A - T – T – T – T — A segunda afirmação é falsa, portanto essa alternativa está incorreta.

C - T – F – F – T — A terceira afirmação é verdadeira, então essa alternativa está incorreta.

D - F – T – F – F — A primeira e a terceira afirmações são verdadeiras, portanto essa alternativa está incorreta.

E - F – F – T – T — A primeira é verdadeira e a terceira é verdadeira, tornando essa alternativa incorreta.
