Submit
3. Read the magazine.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Leia a revista" because it translates to "Read the magazine" in English. The other options either have incorrect grammar or do not accurately convey the meaning of the original sentence.

Submit
4. Make lunch.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Faça o almoço" because it translates to "Make lunch" in English. The other options translate to "Make a snack," "Make dinner," and "Make the lunch" respectively, which do not accurately convey the meaning of the original phrase.

Submit
5. Learn with the lecture.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Aprenda com a palestra" because the phrase translates to "Learn from the lecture" in English. The other options either mean "Learn with the lecture" or "Learn from reading," which do not accurately capture the meaning of the phrase given.

Submit
6. Send your résumé.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Envie seu currículo" because the phrase "Send your résumé" is translated as "Envie seu currículo" in Portuguese. The other options provided are incorrect translations.

Submit
7. Wait for me at college.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Me espere na faculdade" because the sentence "Wait for me at college" implies that the speaker wants the other person to wait for them specifically at the college/university. The word "na" in Portuguese is used to indicate location, so "na faculdade" accurately conveys the intended meaning of waiting at the college. The other options ("no colégio" and "no colegial") refer to different educational levels and do not match the context of the sentence.

Submit
8. Win the contest.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Vença a competição" because it translates to "Win the competition" in English, which is the closest meaning to the original phrase "Win the contest." The other options do not accurately convey the intended meaning.

Submit
9. Bring your camera.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Traga sua câmera" because it is the correct translation of "Bring your camera" in Portuguese. "Traga" is the imperative form of the verb "trazer" which means "to bring" and "sua câmera" means "your camera".

Submit
10. Smoke your cigar in the balcony.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Fume seu charuto na sacada." The word "charuto" means cigar, and "na sacada" means on the balcony. Therefore, this sentence correctly translates to "Smoke your cigar on the balcony."

Submit
11. Choose the novel.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Escolha o romance" because it translates to "Choose the novel" in English. The other options either translate to "Choose the soap opera" or "Hurry to watch the soap opera," which are not the correct translations of the given phrase.

Submit
12. Write a legend.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Escreva uma lenda" because it directly translates to "Write a legend" in English. The given phrases "Escreva uma legenda" and "Leia a lenda" mean "Write a caption" and "Read the legend" respectively, which are not the same as the requested task of writing a legend.

Submit
13. Clean the lamp.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Limpe a luminária" because the sentence "Clean the lamp" is translated as "Limpe a luminária" in Portuguese. The other options do not accurately translate the phrase "Clean the lamp."

Submit
14. Meet the defendant.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Conheça o acusado" because it translates to "Meet the defendant" in English. The word "acusado" means "defendant" in Portuguese, which matches the context of the sentence. The other options, "defensor" and "defendido," mean "defender" and "defended" respectively, which do not accurately describe the person being introduced in the sentence.

Submit
15. Buy that exquisite fabric.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Compre aquele tecido refinado." This is because the word "exquisite" in the original sentence suggests that the fabric is of high quality and refined. The word "refinado" in the correct answer accurately translates to "refined," which conveys the same meaning as "exquisite." The other options ("Compre aquela fábrica esquisita" and "Compre aquele tecido esquisito") use the word "esquisito," which means "weird" or "strange," and does not accurately convey the intended meaning of the sentence.

Submit
16. Give me the baton.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Dê-me a batuta" because the word "batuta" means "baton" in Portuguese. The other options ("batata" means "potato", "batom" means "lipstick") do not make sense in the given context.

Submit
17. Let the carton on the table.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Deixe a caixa de papelão na mesa." This is because the phrase "carton on the table" is translated as "caixa de papelão na mesa" in Portuguese. The word "caixa de papelão" specifically refers to a cardboard box, which matches the meaning of "carton." Therefore, this is the most accurate translation given the context provided.
