35 Questões de Construção de identidades no mundo globalizado

In a school project in Recife, students compare food produced near the city with food transported from distant farms. The longer routes require more fuel and release more greenhouse gases. Food grown near the city travels shorter distances, so choosing it can lower emissions from transportation. The project notes that this choice may also support nearby farmers, but it does not guarantee lower prices or better taste; its central environmental point concerns transport emissions. Based on the text, which option best identifies its main argument about choosing local food?

1. A) Transporting food releases greenhouse gases.
2. B) Local food travels shorter distances.
3. C) Choosing local food may support nearby farmers.
4. D) Choosing local food guarantees lower prices.
5. E) Choosing local food can lower transportation-related emissions.

In a Brazilian public school, students from different cultural backgrounds created a weekly exchange project. They shared stories, food and music, and worked together on a neighborhood recycling campaign. Before the project, 62% of surveyed students said they felt comfortable cooperating with classmates from different cultural groups. After three months, the percentage rose to 81%. Participation in school-community activities also increased from 38% to 56%. The project coordinator evaluated its guiding statement — “Embracing cultural differences leads to stronger communities” — according to two criteria: whether it encouraged cooperation and whether its results could be observed in the school community. Based on the text and the criteria used by the coordinator, which evaluation of the statement is best supported by the evidence?

1. A) It is limited because only the project coordinator reported positive results.
2. B) It is effective because it connects inclusion with measurable cooperation.
3. C) It is irrelevant because the project focused on recycling rather than culture.
4. D) It is ineffective because participation decreased after the project.
5. E) It is unclear because the survey measured comfort rather than cooperation.
