Which word is a synonym for evaluations in the text?

Question

Military Officers Face a New Evaluation     Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is leading important changes following recent scandals involving high-ranking officers. This is part of training and development programs for generals and admirals. They will include new courses to train the security detail, executive staffs and even the spouses of senior officers.     Saying he was disturbed about the misconduct issues, General Dempsey said that evaluations of top officers needed to go beyond the traditional assessment of professional performance by superior officers alone. He said that he had decided the changes were necessary “to assess both competence and character in a richer way”.      “You can have someone of incredible character who can’t lead their way out of a forward operating base because they don’t have the competence to understand the application of military power, and that doesn’t do me any good”, General Dempsey said. “Conversely, you can have someone who is intensely competent in the skills of the profession, but doesn’t live a life of character. And that doesn’t do me any good.”       General Dempsey said that regular professional reviews would be transformed from top-down assessments to the kind of “360-degree performance evaluation”, which includes feedback from subordinates, peers and superiors. For the new training programs, he said that while it may be impossible to prevent infractions, “most officers need to be reminded of the rules and regulations on a routine basis”.      Teams of inspectors will observe and review the procedures of commanders and their staffs. The inspections will not be punitive, but will provide a “periodic opportunity for general officers to understand whether, from an institutional perspective, we think they are inside or outside the white lines”, he said. In addition, new programs will be instituted to ensure that a commander’s staff, and a spouse, are fully aware of military regulations.      “In my 39 years in the military, I have learned that you are not a profession just because you say you are. You have to earn it and re-earn it and re-evaluate it from time to time”, General Dempsey said.Adapted from www.nytimes.com/2013/04/14/us

Alternativa [D] Assessments. Alternativa Correta: D - Assessments

O tema central da questão é a identificação do sinônimo adequado para a palavra evaluations no contexto do texto apresentado. A compreensão de sinônimos é crucial para a interpretação de textos, especialmente em contextos como concursos públicos, onde uma ampla gama de vocabulário pode ser utilizada.

No texto, a palavra evaluations refere-se ao processo de avaliar o desempenho dos oficiais militares, indo além das avaliações tradicionais para incluir feedback de diferentes perspectivas. Portanto, um sinônimo adequado para evaluations é assessments, que também significa a análise ou avaliação de algo.

Justificativa para a Alternativa Correta:

- D - Assessments: Esta alternativa é a correta porque "assessments" e "evaluations" são usados de forma intercambiável no inglês para descrever processos de avaliação detalhada, análise crítica ou julgamento.

Análise das Alternativas Incorretas:

- A - Applications: "Applications" refere-se a solicitações, candidatos ou o uso de algo em uma determinada tarefa, que não se alinha semanticamente com "evaluations".

- B - Regulations: "Regulations" são normas ou regras que regem um processo ou comportamento, não um processo de avaliação.

- C - Infractions: "Infractions" refere-se a violações de regras ou leis, o que não tem relação com o processo de avaliação.

- E - Procedures: "Procedures" são etapas ou métodos de executar algo, não um sinônimo de avaliação.
