TEXT 2
Gabriel García Márquez was a Literary Giant
With a Passion for Journalism
By Karla Zabludovsky Friday, April 18,2014
The late Gabriel García Márquez holds a special place in the hearts of journalists.
Like Charles Dickens, Mark Twain and Ernest Hemingway — or contemporaries like Pete Hamill and Tom Wolfe — García Márquez, a titan of 20th century literature, honed his writing skills as a reporter
before he became a celebrated novelist.
Even as his literary star rose, García Márquez, known colloquially across Latin America as Gabo, spoke proudly, tenderly and frequently about journalism.
“Those who are self-taught are avid and quick, and during those bygone times, we were that to a great extent in order to keep paving the way for the best profession in the world… as we ourselves called
it,” said García Márquez during a speech about journalism at the 52nd Assembly of the Inter American Press Association in 1996.

The underlined words in the passage are
- A)adjectives.
- B)adverbs.
- C)nouns.
- D)prepositions.
- E)verbs.
Resposta:
A alternativa correta é B)
As palavras sublinhadas no texto - proudly, tenderly e frequently - são advérbios (adverbs).
Podemos identificar isso pela função que exercem na frase: elas modificam o verbo "spoke", descrevendo como Gabriel García Márquez falava sobre jornalismo. "Proudly" (orgulhosamente) indica o modo, "tenderly" (carinhosamente) qualifica a maneira e "frequently" (frequentemente) expressa a frequência da ação.
Os advérbios em inglês frequentemente terminam com o sufixo "-ly", o que é uma característica marcante dessas três palavras.
