  Bons estudos!

• Escolhi a letra A, mas achei essa parte "Is it at all possible for me to enroll as a foreign student ?" Muito estranha. Na verdade, achei o uso do AT ALL nessa posição muito estranha. Nem sei se tem alguma 100% correta para falar a verdade. 
• Questão sem alternativa correta. A letra A tem erros e/ou discordância, um deles é university com letra minúscula.

• sim tambem achei todas erradas
  

• Belíssima análise de Ticiana. Thank you!
