Counterfeiters do not operate randomly. According to an investigation into the illegal medicine trade, they follow changes in consumers’ behavior and produce fake versions of medicines that are in high demand. They may imitate packages and labels, but they do not have authorization from the pharmaceutical companies whose products they copy. The investigation also found that these products are distributed through clandestine channels, rather than through the regular wholesale market. In addition, the World Health Organization does not certify such products, and a placebo is not necessarily a counterfeit medicine: the defining problem is the false presentation of the product and its origin.

4. D) utilizam placebo nos medicamentos.
5. E) estão sempre alertas à demanda do mercado.

Counterfeit medicines can enter the market through different points in the supply chain, putting patients at risk. To address this problem, the World Health Organization (WHO) coordinates the International Medical Products Anti-Counterfeiting Taskforce. The group brings together health authorities, customs services, police forces, pharmaceutical companies and other organizations. Its role is to monitor the supply of medicines, exchange information and issue alerts about possible irregularities. The WHO does not approve individual products, require a universal hologram or barcode, control the commercial price of medicines, or decide which new medicines may be launched. These responsibilities belong to national regulatory agencies and other authorities. Segundo o texto, para conter a venda de medicamentos falsificados, a Organização Mundial da Saúde

1. A) exige a identificação de todos os medicamentos por meio de um holograma e de um código de barras universais.
2. B) coordena uma força-tarefa internacional que reúne autoridades e acompanha a cadeia de fornecimento, emitindo alertas sobre possíveis irregularidades.

For decades, television advertising relied on a relatively stable arrangement: broadcasters offered a large, simultaneous audience, and companies bought specific amounts of airtime. The spread of cable channels, personal video recorders, online platforms and mobile devices disrupted that arrangement. Viewers could now choose when and where to watch content, skip commercials and receive advertisements selected according to their interests. In response, advertising agencies began combining television campaigns with digital strategies, interactive content and new forms of audience measurement. The purpose was not simply to produce shorter commercials, but to adapt advertising to a media environment in which attention was more fragmented and consumers had greater control over what they watched. Com base no texto, explique qual transformação ocorreu na indústria publicitária em razão das mudanças no ambiente tecnológico e midiático. Assinale a alternativa que expressa corretamente essa transformação.

1. A) deixou de comprar tempo na televisão devido ao aumento do custo por minuto.
2. B) foi forçada a se modificar em função das novas tecnologias.
3. C) aumentou sua audiência cativa por meio das plataformas digitais.
4. D) começou a privilegiar a forma em vez dos conteúdos divulgados.
5. E) passou a criar anúncios mais curtos.

People often speak of time as if it were both a healer and a destroyer. After a painful experience, the passing of time may reduce emotional suffering and help someone recover. At the same time, time gradually destroys living things, changes landscapes and makes every person older. These two effects do not occur because time chooses between them: healing and destruction are different consequences of its passage. In this sense, human beings perceive time through experiences that may seem opposed, even though both are produced by the same process. De acordo com o texto, considera-se contraditório, em relação à percepção humana do tempo,

1. A) seu movimento contínuo e efeitos variáveis.
2. B) sua presença coletiva e experiência individual.
3. C) seu poder de cura e destruição.
4. D) sua duração mensurável e lembrança subjetiva.
5. E) seu caráter natural e interpretação cultural.

In the United States, migrants who request asylum after entering the country do not automatically receive permission to stay. Their cases may take months or even years to be decided. During this period, applicants must present evidence that they face persecution in their home countries because of factors such as religion, political opinion, nationality, race, or membership in a particular social group. Even when applicants remain in the country while their cases are examined, a large proportion of asylum requests is eventually rejected. Therefore, entering the United States and filing an asylum application do not guarantee legal residence or permanent admission. Com base no texto, assinale a alternativa que apresenta uma característica do processo enfrentado, nos Estados Unidos, por migrantes que requerem asilo após ingressarem no país.

1. A) aguardam na fronteira, onde sua petição é avaliada.
2. B) são mais determinados a permanecer no país.
3. C) precisam comprovar sua idoneidade.
4. D) têm seu processo julgado com mais rapidez.
5. E) têm seu pedido negado com frequência.
