    DATA

    • DATA

    • DADOS DE INFORMAÇÃO

    • DIA

    Correct Answer
    A. DADOS DE INFORMAÇÃO
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "DADOS DE INFORMAÇÃO" because the given information consists of the word "DATA" repeated twice, followed by "DADOS DE INFORMAÇÃO" and "DIA". Since "DADOS DE INFORMAÇÃO" is the only option that matches this pattern and is also in the same language, it is the most appropriate answer.

    TAX

    • TAXA

    • IMPOSTO

    • TÁXI

    Correct Answer
    A. IMPOSTO
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "IMPOSTO" because it is the only word in the given options that means "tax" in Portuguese. "TAX" and "TÁXI" are similar in spelling but have different meanings, and "TAXA" means "fee" rather than "tax." Therefore, "IMPOSTO" is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

    PUSH

    • EMPURRAR

    • PUXAR

    • PULAR

    Correct Answer

    MOISTURE

    • UMIDADE

    • MISTURA

    • MESTRADO

    Correct Answer
    A. UMIDADE
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "UMIDADE" because it is the Portuguese translation of the word "MOISTURE". The other options - "MISTURA" means "mixture" and "MESTRADO" means "master's degree" - are not related to the concept of moisture. Therefore, "UMIDADE" is the most appropriate translation in this context.

    • CARNE DE PORCO

    • BIFE

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The given word "BEEF" translates to "CARNE DE GADO" in Portuguese. "CARNE DE GADO" means beef in Portuguese. "CARNE DE PORCO" means pork, and "BIFE" means steak. Therefore, the correct translation of "BEEF" in Portuguese is "CARNE DE GADO".

    • PRIVATIVO

    • PRIVADA

    • PARTICULAR

    EDUCATED

    • EDUCADO

    • EDUCAÇÃO

    • INSTRUÍDO

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The word "INSTRUÍDO" is the correct answer because it is the Portuguese translation of the English word "EDUCATED." The other options, "EDUCADO" and "EDUCAÇÃO," are also related to education but do not directly translate to "EDUCATED." "INSTRUÍDO" specifically means someone who has received instruction or education, making it the most suitable option.

    Rate this question:

    PASTA

    • PASTA DE DENTE

    • MASSA (ALIMENTO)

    • PASTA PARA GUARDAR PAPÉIS

    Correct Answer
    A. MASSA (ALIMENTO)
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "massa (alimento)" because pasta is a type of food made from wheat flour and water, typically in the form of long, thin strings or tubes. It is a staple food in Italian cuisine and is commonly used in dishes such as spaghetti, lasagna, and macaroni and cheese. The other options listed are not related to food but instead refer to toothpaste (pasta de dente) and a folder for storing papers (pasta para guardar papéis).

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    LAMP

    • LÂMPADA

    • LUMINÁRIA

    • LAMPARINA

    Correct Answer
    A. LUMINÁRIA
    Explanation
    The word "LAMP" is translated to Portuguese as "LUMINÁRIA". The other options, "LÂMPADA" and "LAMPARINA" are also Portuguese words that refer to different types of lamps, but they are not the exact translation of "LAMP". "LUMINÁRIA" is the most appropriate translation as it refers to a general type of lamp or lighting fixture, which encompasses the meaning of "LAMP".

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    COSTUME

    • FANTASIA (ROUPA)

    • COSTUME

    • COSTUMEIRO

    Correct Answer
    A. FANTASIA (ROUPA)
    Explanation
    The word "fantasia" in Portuguese means "costume" or "disguise." In this context, it specifically refers to a costume that one wears for a special occasion or event. The word "roupa" means "clothing" in Portuguese. Therefore, "fantasia (roupa)" can be translated as "costume (clothing)" in English, indicating that it refers to the attire or outfit worn as a costume. "Costume" and "costumeiro" are related words but do not specifically refer to the concept of dressing up for a special occasion.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    LIBRARY

    • LIVRARIA

    • LIVRO

    • BIBLIOTECA

    Correct Answer
    A. BIBLIOTECA
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "BIBLIOTECA" because all the other words listed are related to books or reading materials, while "BIBLIOTECA" specifically refers to a library. A library is a place where books are stored and made available for borrowing or reference, making it the most appropriate term in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 13.

    • CONTEXTO

    • COMPETIÇÃO

    • CONTENTE

    Correct Answer
    A. COMPETIÇÃO

    • ATUALMENTE

    • ATIVAMENTE

    • NA VERDADE

    • CIGARRA (INSETO)

    • CIGARRO

    • CHARUTO

    Correct Answer
    A. CHARUTO
    Explanation
    The word "charuto" is the correct answer because it is the only word in the given list that is directly related to the word "cigar". "Charuto" is the Portuguese word for cigar, while "cigarrA" refers to a type of insect and "cigarro" is the Portuguese word for cigarette. Therefore, "charuto" is the most appropriate choice in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    COLLAR

    • COLAR

    • COLARINHO

    • COLA

    Correct Answer
    A. COLARINHO
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "COLARINHO" because it is the only word among the options that directly relates to "COLLAR". "COLARINHO" is the Portuguese word for "collar" and is the most appropriate choice that matches the given words. The other options, "COLAR" and "COLA", are related to "COLLAR" but do not specifically refer to a collar. Therefore, "COLARINHO" is the correct answer.

    • BALCÃO

    • BALCONISTA

    • SACADA

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "SACADA" because it is a Portuguese word that translates to "balcony" in English. The other options, "BALCÃO" and "BALCONISTA," also have similar meanings related to "balcony," but "SACADA" is the most accurate translation.

    Rate this question:

  • 18.

    • TECIDO

    • FÁBRICA

    • FABRICAR

    Correct Answer
    A. TECIDO
    Explanation
    The word "TECIDO" is the correct answer because it is the Portuguese translation of the English word "FABRIC". "TECIDO" refers to a material made by weaving or knitting threads together, which is the same concept as "FABRIC" in English. The other options, "FÁBRICA" and "FABRICAR", are related to the process of manufacturing or creating fabric, but they do not directly mean "FABRIC" itself.

    Rate this question:

  • 21.

    • PRETENDER

    • PREGUIÇA

    • FINGIR

    Correct Answer
    A. FINGIR
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "FINGIR" because it is the translation of the word "PRETEND" in Portuguese. "FINGIR" means to act or behave in a way that is not real or genuine. It is a verb that is commonly used to describe the action of pretending or feigning something. Therefore, "FINGIR" is the most suitable translation for "PRETEND" in this context.

    Rate this question:

    GRIP

    • GRIPE

    • AGARRAR FIRME

    • TOMAR

    Correct Answer
    A. AGARRAR FIRME
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "AGARRAR FIRME" because it is the translation of the word "GRIP" in Spanish. "AGARRAR" means "to grip" or "to grab" and "FIRME" means "firm" or "tight". Therefore, "AGARRAR FIRME" accurately represents the meaning of "GRIP" in Spanish.

    Rate this question:

    INJURY

    • INJÚRIA

    • INJUSTO

    • FERIMENTO

    Correct Answer

"INJÚRIA" means "insult" or "offense", "INJUSTO" means "unjust" or "unfair", and "FERIMENTO" means "injury" or "wound". Therefore, "FERIMENTO" is the most appropriate translation for "INJURY" in this context.

    EXQUISITE

    • REFINADO

    • AFINADO

    • EXQUISITO

    Correct Answer
    A. REFINADO
    Explanation
    The word "exquisite" means extremely beautiful, delicate, or finely made. The word "refinado" in Spanish also means refined or elegant, which is a synonym for exquisite. "Afinado" means tuned or adjusted, which is not related to the meaning of exquisite. "Exquisito" is the Spanish translation of exquisite, so it is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

    ARGUMENT

    • ARGUMENTO

    • AGITAR

    • DISCUSSÃO

    Correct Answer
    A. DISCUSSÃO
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "DISCUSSÃO" because it is the only word in the list that directly relates to the topic of the argument. "ARGUMENTO" means argument, but in the sense of a logical reasoning, not a disagreement. "AGITAR" means to shake or stir, which is unrelated to the topic. Therefore, "DISCUSSÃO" is the most appropriate word in this context.
