Death Metal Eco-Baron Rewilds Irish Estate
Randal Plunkett, the 21st Baron of Dunsany, strides out of his Irish castle in a T-shirt bearing the name of death metal band "Cannibal Corpse" in bloody lettering.
In the distance, a russet-coloured stag appears for a moment, before dissolving into the 750 acres (300 hectares) of ancestral estate Plunkett has surrendered to the wilderness -- almost half of his lands.
"I felt a sort of sense of duty towards the environment here," said Plunkett, perched on a decaying tree trunk sprouting a clutch of mushrooms.
"I'm a caretaker of this estate for this generation and the estate is not just the castle, it's also the land but it's also the environment," the aristocrat told AFP, his mane of shoulder-length hair rippling in the breeze.
Eight years ago, death metal fan Plunkett, whose family have presided over Dunsany Castle northwest of Dublin for nine centuries, began his "radical" rewilding project.
The 38-year-old vegan, an unlikely successor to ancestors depicted in sober portraits lining the walls of the grey stone castle, evicted livestock and dismissed lawnmowers to allow nature to take its course.
Now, the results are plain. The ultra-rare pine marten has been spotted. Otters and red deer thrive.
Skies are jammed with birds: buzzards, red kites, peregrine falcons, sparrowhawks, kestrels and snipes.
Plunkett says a woodpecker has been sighted in the area for the first time in a century.
Beyond the castle crenellations, the lawn is transformed into a swirling morass of 23 species of grass, fizzing with insect life.
Plunkett lends a hand here and there -- planting 2,500 trees last year was no small feat -- but mostly he is hands-off.
"As I watched it, I began to understand what the land was doing," he said after trudging across a field of knotted undergrowth in a faux leather jacket.
"It became a rewilding project," he said, as two Jack Russell terriers named Beavis and Butt-head gambol around his vegan-friendly Doc Martens boots.

Fill in the blanks CORRECTLY and respectively:
I. The definite article "the" is generally omitted before names of individual mountains and lakes, but it is required before names of mountain ranges, oceans, and geographic regions like "the Middle East."
II. The indefinite article "an" must be used before words starting with the letter "u" regardless of the phonetic realization, to ensure the graphic stability of the noun phrase in academic publications.
III. Nouns referring to social institutions, such as "school," "prison," or "hospital," take no article when the sentence refers to the primary purpose for which the institution exists.
Está correto o que se afirma em:
(__)The relative pronoun "whom" is used in formal registers to refer to the object of a verb or preposition, while "who" is typically used for the subject.
(__)Reflexive pronouns, such as "himself" or "ourselves", can be used with an emphatic function to stress that the subject performed the action without help.
(__)The definite article "the" must be used before names of individual lakes and mountains in academic writing to ensure the correct determination of the noun.
(__)Possessive adjectives like "their" and "her" function as substitutes for the noun, eliminating the need to express the possessed object in the sentence.
Now, choose the CORRECT alternative with the sequence from top to bottom:

(__)Em 'Man is a social animal', o uso do 'zero article' é obrigatório, pois refere-se à espécie humana de forma genérica.
(__)Na frase 'I went to the prison to visit my client', o uso do artigo definido indica que o falante está indo ao local físico, e não necessariamente na condição de prisioneiro.
(__)A sentença 'The tiger is in danger of becoming extinct' está incorreta, pois generalizações com animais no singular exigem o artigo indefinido 'A tiger'.

Acerca do uso dos artigos em inglês, marque V, para as afirmativas verdadeiras, e F, para as falsas:
(__)O artigo indefinido "an" é usado antes de palavras que começam com som de vogal, independentemente da letra (e.g., *an hour*, *an umbrella*), enquanto "a" é usado antes de palavras com som de consoante (e.g., *a university*, *a car*).
(__)O artigo definido "the" é usado para especificar um substantivo que já é conhecido pelo leitor/ouvinte ou que é único em seu contexto (e.g., *The sun is hot*).
(__)Diferente do português, o artigo definido "the" geralmente não é usado antes de substantivos abstratos usados em sentido geral (e.g., *Love is important*, e não *The love is important*) ou nomes próprios de pessoas (e.g., *Mary lives here*, e não *The Mary lives here*).
(__)O artigo "a" é sempre usado antes de substantivos plurais para indicar generalização (e.g., *a books are expensive*).
