In the context of environmental preservation, awareness of the importance of recycling solid waste has become an increasingly present issue in society. The campaign 'Less Waste, More Life', for example, uses communication strategies to sensitize people. In an advertisement for this campaign, the following sentence is presented: 'Recycling plastic, metal, and paper generates less pollution and more job opportunities.' Considering the role of verbs in structuring the meaning of actions in the text, identify the function of the verbs 'recycling' and 'generates' in the grammaticalization process of the advertisement and how they contribute to persuading the interlocutor about the importance of recycling practice.
a.
The presence of the verb 'recycling' in the subjunctive form indicates a hypothetical possibility of recycling, and the verb 'generates' in the conditional form shows that the effects of recycling would only be valid in a specific future situation.
b.
The verbs 'recycling' and 'generates' both indicate simultaneous actions, showing that recycling and the generation of less pollution are processes that occur simultaneously.
c.
The verbal form 'recycling' in the past participle emphasizes a completed action, and the verb 'generates' in the imperative suggests a direct order for recycling, increasing the urgency of the practice.
d.
The verb 'recycling' in the gerund form is expressing a continuous action, while the verb 'generates' in the plural form indicates the multiplicity of negative effects of recycling.
e.
The verb 'recycling' in the infinitive form indicates the action that the advertisement wants the interlocutor to perform, while the verb 'generates' in the singular form shows the positive effects of recycling, contributing to persuading about the importance of recycling practice.
