In general, a planet is discovered by observing the sky. But with Neptune, it was different. The planet was located through mathematical calculations. Truth! Uranus did not exactly follow the orbit astronomers expected from their calculations. Result? Two mathematicians, even without knowing each other and working separately, proposed the position and mass of another planet, as yet unknown, which must somehow interfere with the orbit of Uranus. His indications were ignored, except for a young astronomer, who decided to look for the supposed planet. Thus, Neptune was discovered in 1846. The planet, which cannot be seen with the naked eye, has several rings, 13 moons and very fast winds, probably even faster than those on Saturn, reaching 2000 ____________ per hour, unique throughout the System Solar.

Question 1 - A word is proparoxytone when the stressed (strongest) syllable is the third to last syllable. Thus, we can state that there is a proparoxytone word in the excerpt:
( ) "In general, a planet is discovered by observing the sky."
( ) “[…] rings, 13 moons and very fast winds […]”
( ) “[…] something unique in the entire Solar System.”
Question 2 - Highlight the proparoxytone words that make up this part of the text:
"Uranus didn't exactly follow the orbit astronomers expected from their calculations."
Question 3 - The proparoxytone words highlighted above have in common the fact that they are:
( ) verbs
( ) adjectives
( ) nouns
Question 4 – In “[…] very fast winds, probably even faster than those of Saturn […]”, the term “more”:
( ) explains the meaning of the proparoxytone adjective “fast”.
( ) intensifies the meaning of the proparoxytone adjective “fast”.
( ) complements the meaning of the proparoxytone adjective “fast”.
Question 5 - The space indicated in the text must be filled with the word proparoxytone:
( ) “kilometers”.
( ) “kilometers”.
