Klingon to Dothraki: Invented languages gain popularity
- The idea of invented languages is not new. People have been trying to create new tongues
- for a long time. One of the most famous examples is Esperanto, created by Ludwik Zamenhof
- in 1887 which he hoped would become __ globally spoken unifying language. The fact that it
- is based on 16 very simple rules and took words from languages already present makes it very
- easy to learn. This was a conscious decision by Zamenhof who hoped that if everyone spoke
- one language, there would be fewer wars and conflicts.
- So far, none of the existing constructed languages has achieved a large number of
- speakers. Klingon, the invented language of Star Trek has around 20-30 speakers. Na’vi, the
- language created for the movie “Avatar” has one fluent speaker, 10 intermediate speakers,
- and over forty novices. Dothraki, which was crafted specifically for __ series Game of Thrones,
- boasts seven intermediate speakers and around a hundred novices. For now, Garadálava has
- exactly one speaker: Fynn Schlemminger himself.
- However Esperanto is a notable exception: it’s estimated that the language has around
- some 1,000 native speakers, and many parents teach it to their children. TV series, movies,
- books, and especially the Internet have given invented languages a chance like never before.
- According to the BBC, Esperanto, which was created almost exactly 100 years ago, is currently
- experiencing a boost, mostly thanks to the language learning app Duolingo, and a highly
- engaged online community. Wikipedia is also available in this language.
- With the amount of time and effort it takes to learn a new language, it is rather unlikely
- that __ invented tongue will achieve world domination in the same way English has. But it is
- clear that there is rising interest in creating new languages. “Yes, there might be more of them
- in the future, or more people will try their hand at it,” said Carpenter.

A alternativa D é a correta. Vamos entender o porquê, analisando cada par de palavras fornecido na questão.
1. 'Conscious' – deliberate
No contexto em que "conscious" é usado, significa algo feito com intenção ou propósito, o que é sinônimo de "deliberate". Portanto, essas palavras podem ser consideradas sinônimos. Assim, a resposta para este par é S (sinônimo).
2. 'Notable' – remarkable
As palavras "notable" e "remarkable" têm significados muito próximos. Ambas referem-se a algo digno de nota ou que se destaca. Portanto, neste contexto, elas também são sinônimos. A resposta para este par é S (sinônimo).
3. 'Rather' – absolutely
O termo "rather" geralmente é usado para indicar uma preferência ou contraste suave, enquanto "absolutely" significa completamente ou de maneira definitiva. Os significados são bastante distintos, tornando-os não sinônimos. A resposta correta para este par é N (não sinônimo).
Portanto, a sequência correta é: S – S – N, que corresponde à alternativa D.
