Choose the correct option to complete the paragraph below.

Is an autonomous ship a 'ship' in the eyes of the law?

Different defmitions of 'ship' appear in different statutes and conventions, and it has often fallen to judges to decide if a floating object is, or is not, a 'ship'. ______________ , none of the defmitions of'ship' requires that the floating object be manned, generally simply requiring that it be used or be capable of being used in navigation. Whether this is by remote control or fully autonomous would not appear to be a problem in terms of the legal definition of a 'ship'. It appears probable,________________ , that autonomous ships are likely to fali within the legal definition of 'ship' and so will have to comply with the relevant laws and conventions ______________ the laws themselves might require some modification.

(Abridged from SEAWAYS -The International Journal o f the Nautical Inslitute. Dec/2017).

  Definições diferentes de "navio" aparecem em diferentes estatutos e convenções, e muitas vezes cabe aos juízes decidir se um objeto flutuante é ou não um "navio". No entanto, nenhuma das definições de navio exige que o objeto flutuante seja tripulado, geralmente exigindo simplesmente que seja usado ou capaz de ser usado na navegação. Se isso é feito por controle remoto ou totalmente autônomo, não parece ser um problema em termos da definição legal de "navio". Parece provável, portanto, que navios autônomos provavelmente falhem dentro da definição legal de 'navio' e, portanto, terão de cumprir as leis e convenções relevantes, embora as próprias leis possam exigir alguma modificação.

We’re all looking forward to have a few days’ holiday together.

In the context above, there is mistake related to:

• A. An adverbial phrase.
• B. An infinitive form.
• C. A determiner.
• D. Gerund use.

Gabarito: B

Comentários

• We've done all right in those, and actually, I'm really looking forward to having more group discussions in our college classes. 

• Foward é preposição, logo devemos usar gerúndio.

• Ao meu ver tem 2 erros.

  1. Look Forward to - o look não pode ter ing
  2. Look Forward to pede verbo com ing, portanto seria 'We’re all look forward to having a few days’ holiday together.'

  Os advérbios ever e never se referem a um momento não identificado anterior ao presente (Have you ever visited Berlin?). "Ever" e "never" são sempre inseridos antes do verbo principal (no "past participle"). "Ever" é utilizado:

  Have you ever been to England?

  Has she ever met the Prime Minister?

QUEEN - WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS

I’ve paid my dues

Time after time

I’ve done my sentence

And we’ll keep on fighting ‘til the end

We are the champions

We are the champions

No time for losers

‘Cause we are the champions of the world

An adverbial is a word (an adverb), phrase, or clause which modifies (changes, restricts or adds to the meaning of) a verb. An adverbial can be a noun phrase (we met that afternoon), a prepositional phrase (we met in the cafe), or a clause (we met because we needed to talk) as well as an adverb, but always functions to modify the meaning of a verb. A sentence can contain just one adverbial or several. 

The wrong alternative is the letter:

• A. Some adverbs have the same form as adjectives.Adjective AdverbLouise caught the fast train. The train was going quite fast. We didn't have a long wait. We didn't have to wait long.
  
• B. Adverbials are typically used to talk about:
  * where something happens (place): I put my bag on the floor. * when something happens (time): The rain lasted all night. * the way in which someone does something or something happens or exists (manner):
  You‟re acting as if you were still a teenager.
• C. The position of an adverbial depends on what it modifies. It can modify a word or phrase or a whole clause. Its position also depends on what type of adverbial it is and whether it is a single word or a phrase. When an adverbial modifies a verb or a whole clause, there are three main places we can put it.
  Front: Really, I can't say. Mid: I can't really say. End: I can't say, really.
  Sometimes we can also put an adverbial after the subject: I really can't say.
  
• D. In The shop on the corner is closed., the adverbial modifies the noun.
• E. Adverbials of place and time always go in end position.

Gabarito: E

Comentários

• e-

  Putting an adverb that tells us when at the end of a sentence is a neutral position, but these adverbs can be put in other positions to give a different emphasis. All adverbs that tell us when can be placed at the beginning of the sentence to emphasize the time element. Some can also be put before the main verb in formal writing, while others cannot occupy that position.

  Examples

     Later Goldilocks ate some porridge. (the time is important)

     Goldilocks later ate some porridge. (this is more formal, like a policeman's report)

     Goldilocks ate some porridge later. (this is neutral, no particular emphasis)
