Tex-Mex Cuisine

Tex-Mex is a well-known cuisine in the United States, although many people are not certain what it actually is. One fact that everyone agrees on is that it is a style of cooking from the southern state of Texas. It combines Texan ingredients with Mexican recipes, because the state has a large population from south of the border. The combination makes a tasty, exciting type of home cooking that is popular all over the state.

One of the most popular dishes is the enchilada. It is a type of corn tortilla which contains chicken or melted cheese, with plenty of onions. There are usually some beans or rice with this dish. Some Tex-Mex restaurants serve enchiladas with three sauces in red, white, and green, the colors of the Mexican flag.

Along with enchiladas, which are soft, there are also tacos. These are hard, crispy pieces of corn which are fried in oil. Cooks then stuff them with beef in a rich tomato sauce, as well as onions and cheese. As with many Tex-Mex dishes, there aren’t any rules for eating them, except that it is best to use your hands. They are often messy to eat because they are full of sauce and cheese. You can put almost anything in them, which is why this versatile Mexican dish is now popular all over the US.

Comentários

• Análise das afirmações:

  I- They -> Terceira Pessoa do Plural no Discurso. Utilizado como sujeito, assim como: I, You, He, She, It, We e You.

  O uso dos pronomes, fazendo referência a algum referente, mesmo o falante, sofre a alteração para que não haja confusão no entendimento de quem pratica ou sofre a ação.

  Me, You, Him, Her, It, Us, You, Them -> Em resumo, usados após os verbos.

  II - Actually: falso cognato. Quer dizer "em verdade", "na realidade", dependendo do contexto. Muito cuidados, pois "nowadays" significa "nos dias de hoje" (uma das interpretações), podendo causar dessa incerteza, da qual a banca teve como objetivo causar.

  III - Correto. "The most" indicando que o adjetivo está sendo elevado ao grau superlativo de comparação. Note como fica fácil perceber: "one of the most..." -> "Um dos maiores, dos mais, das maiores......"

  I e III, portanto, estão corretas.

  D

• d-

  The object pronouns are me, you, him, her, us, them, it and whom. Any pronoun at the receiving end of an action in the sentence is an object and treated as objective case.
