Questão 10

Text 1
COPENHAGEN — The Nordic countries regularly appear at the top of an annual list of the world’s happiest
nations, but their reputation as “happiness superpowers” masks the difficulties of a significant part of the
population, a new analysis shows. Finland, Norway, Denmark and Iceland led the 2018 ranking of the World
Happiness Report, and Sweden wasn’t far behind, placing ninth. But in the five Nordic countries, an average of
12.3 percent of the population is “struggling” or “suffering,” according to a report by the Nordic Council of Ministers
and the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen.
[...]
The report, based on research conducted from 2012 to 2016, asked people to assess their satisfaction with life on
a scale of zero to 10. Those who answered seven or higher were categorized as “thriving,” those who responded
five or six were classified as “struggling,” and those who said four or lower were deemed to be “suffering.” Most
respondents in the Nordic countries reported satisfaction of seven to nine.
The Nordic states have a sophisticated social net that means that young people face less pressure regarding
education, health or jobs than do many of their peers elsewhere. The countries have some of the world’s highest
taxes, but schools and hospitals are free, parental leave is generous, and unemployment benefits and care for the
elderly help those no longer working. But with that security and help come expectations to do well, and pressure to
be as happy as one’s peers.
[...]
The trends highlighted in the report appear to be backed up by various national studies conducted in the region. In
Sweden, the number of people with depression increased 20 percent in 10 years, the national board on health and
welfare said last year, a rise that was particularly pronounced among the young. In Denmark, people ages 16 to
24 are more lonely than are people in their grandparents’ generation, a national survey of 180,000 people
conducted this year by the Danish Health Authority showed.
Mr. Birkjaer of the Happiness Research Institute noted that a performance culture and the growing use of social
media contributed to depression, loneliness and stress.
“These problems are difficult to solve,” he said. “Let’s say social media are a major cause, then what do we do?
Ban them? Something else would come in their place.” [...]

Questão 11
TEXTO I – Children Produce Weaker Coronavirus Antibodies.
Children infected with the coronavirus produce weaker antibodies and fewer types of them than adults do,
suggesting they clear their infection much faster, according to a new study. Other studies have suggested that an
overly strong immune response may be to blame in people who get severely ill or die from Covid-19. A weaker
immune response in children may paradoxically indicate that they vanquish the virus before it has had a chance to
wreak havoc in the body, and may help explain why children are mostly spared severe symptoms of Covid, the
disease caused by the coronavirus. It may also show why they are less likely to spread the virus to others. “They
may be infectious for a shorter time,” said Donna Farber, an immunologist at Columbia University in New York
who led the study reported in the journal Nature Immunology. Having weaker and fewer antibodies does not mean
that children would be more at risk of re-infections, other experts said.
“You don’t really need a huge, overly robust immune response to maintain protections over some period of time,”
said Deepta Bhattacharya, an immunologist at the University of Arizona in Tucson. “I don’t know that I would be
especially worried that kids have a little bit lower antibody response.” The study looked at children’s antibody
levels at a single point in time, and was too small to provide insights into how the levels may vary with age. But it
could pose questions for certain antibody tests that may be missing children who have been infected.
Dr. Farber and her colleagues analyzed antibodies to the coronavirus in four groups of patients: 19 adult
convalescent plasma donors who had recovered from Covid without being hospitalized; 13 adults hospitalized with
acute respiratory distress syndrome resulting from severe Covid; 16 children hospitalized with multi-system
inflammatory syndrome, the rare condition affecting some infected children; and 31 infected children who did not
have the syndrome. About half of this last group of children had no symptoms at all.
Individuals in each group had antibodies, consistent with other studies showing that the vast majority of people
infected with the coronavirus mount a robust immune response. “This further emphasizes that this viral infection in
itself, and the immune response to this virus, is not that different from what we would expect” from any virus, said
Petter Brodin, an immunologist at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm. But the range of antibodies differed between
children and adults. The children made primarily one type of antibody, called IgG, that recognizes the spike
protein on the surface of the virus. Adults, by contrast, made several types of antibodies to the spike and other
viral proteins, and these antibodies were more powerful at neutralizing the virus.

Choose the correct grammatical class for the underlined word in the sentence below: “This further emphasizes
that this viral infection in itself, and the immune response to this virus, is not that different”.

A) Reflexive Pronoun
B) Relative Pronoun
C) Adjective Pronoun
D) Possessive Pronoun
E) It is not a pronoun
