READ THE PASSAGE CAREFULLY AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW.With its radiant color and plant-like shape, the sea anemone looks more like a flower than animal. More specifically, the sea anemone is formed quite like a flower for which is named, with body like a stem and tentacles like petals in brilliant shades; blue, pink, green and red. Its diameters vary from about six millimeters in some species to more than ninety centimeters in the giant verities of Australia. Like corals, hydras and jelly fish, sea anemones are coelenterates. They can move slowly, but more often they attach the lower part of their cylindrical bodies to rocks, shells or wharf pilings.
The upper and end of the sea anemone has a mouth surrounded by tentacles which the animal uses to capture its food. Stinging cells in the tentacles throw out tiny poison threads that paralyze other small sea animals. The tentacles then drag this prey into the sea anemone's mouth.The food is digested in the large inner body cavity. When disturbed, a sea anemone retracts its lump on a rock. Anemones may reproduce by forming eggs. dividing in half or developing buds that grow and break off as independent animals.

Detalhes da Resposta
It can be inferred from the passage that sea anemones are attached to stationary surfaces. The passage states that sea anemones can move slowly, but more often they attach the lower part of their cylindrical bodies to rocks, shells, or wharf pilings. This suggests that sea anemones are typically found attached to stationary objects rather than floating freely in the water.

Detalhes da Resposta
The author compares sea anemone's tentacles to "petals" of a flower. In the given passage, the author describes the sea anemone as having a body that is like a stem and tentacles that are like petals in brilliant shades of blue, pink, green, and red. The comparison of sea anemone's tentacles to petals of a flower is based on their shape and color. Just like the petals of a flower, the tentacles of a sea anemone are thin, elongated structures that extend outwards from the body of the organism. They also come in different vibrant colors, much like the petals of a flower. This comparison helps the reader to understand and visualize the appearance of the sea anemone.

Detalhes da Resposta
In "Sweet Sixteen," Bolaji Abdullahi notes that stereoscopic people should be corrected of their bad thinking. To explain this in simple terms, being stereoscopic means having a narrow and limited perspective on things, which often leads to making judgments and forming opinions based on preconceived notions or generalizations, rather than on actual knowledge or experience. Therefore, it is important to correct this kind of thinking by providing more information and educating individuals about different perspectives and experiences, as well as challenging their assumptions and biases. This can help them broaden their understanding and become more open-minded and accepting of diversity.

Pergunta 22 Relatório
It is high time we ........ seeing her
Detalhes da Resposta
"It is high time we stopped seeing her" would be the correct option. The phrase "it is high time" is an idiomatic expression that means that something should have happened already, and there is a sense of urgency for it to occur. The correct verb form to use after this phrase is the past simple form, which is "stopped" in this case. So, "It is high time we stopped seeing her" means that it is overdue for us to stop seeing her, and we need to do it now. The other options, "stop", "will stop", and "stops" are not grammatically correct after the phrase "it is high time" because they do not use the past simple form.

Detalhes da Resposta
The most appropriate option for this group is "monitors". The sentence states that the Ugandan AIDS Commission was set up by President Museveni to deal with the spread of the disease. The word "monitors" means to keep a close watch over something, which is exactly what the Ugandan AIDS Commission was created to do. The Commission's main role is to monitor the spread of HIV and AIDS in Uganda and to implement measures to prevent it from spreading further. The other options, "limits", "anticipates", and "increases", do not make sense in this context. The Ugandan AIDS Commission was not set up to limit or increase the spread of the disease, nor was it created to anticipate the spread of the disease.

The most appropriate option to complete the sentence is "didn't come out without challenges, however".
