In a critique of a theatrical play, the author comments on the actors' performance and the importance of body language to convey emotions on stage. Based on this context, identify in a sentence: (1) a linking verb that can be used, (2) a direct transitive verb, and (3) a verb that generates nominal transitivity. Justify your choices considering the syntactic functions of the terms related to the chosen verbs.

Consider the proposition 'If I like barbecue, then I like beer'. A proposition that is logically equivalent to it is:

Read the excerpt from a poem below and identify and justify the transitivity of the verbs and the classification of the highlighted terms: 'Time slips through my fingers, / And the longing for you overflows in tears. / The wind whispers in my ears, / And loneliness nestles in my chest.' Then, based on the analysis of the verses, identify a linking verb present in the poem, explaining its function in the sentence structure.

In the last panel, the verb form 'falei' is considered, in terms of transitivity:

the dissemination of information implies responsibility, and many do not pay attention to it.

Mark the sentence in which the highlighted term is not an indirect object.

To identify the indirect object in a sentence, it is necessary to analyze the structure of the verb-nominal predicate. The indirect object is a verbal complement that indicates to whom or for whom the action is performed. In the provided alternatives, we have: a) I compare the teacher's work with the most precious of treasures. (indirect object: "with the most precious of treasures") b) the dissemination of information implies responsibility, and many do not pay attention to it. (no indirect object) c) it is not up to you to express an opinion on what does not concern you. (indirect object: "to you") d) he promised a reward to the stars for the desired grace. (indirect object: "to the stars") The correct alternative is the one that does not have an indirect object. Therefore, the correct answer is "the dissemination of information implies responsibility, and many do not pay attention to it."
