They are part of a group classified as hymenoptera – a word that refers to their wings made of thin and delicate tissue. Wasps and ants also belong to this group, but bees have a special characteristic: they feed on the pollen and nectar of flowers. The proteins present in pollen and the sugar in nectar are important nutrients for them. But these insects are also fundamental for plants: they pollinate, that is, they help with their reproduction.

Question 1 – Identify the segment that contains an accented oxytone word:
( ) “They are part of a group classified as hymenoptera […]”
( ) “To this group also belong wasps and ants […]”
( ) “[…] they carry out pollination, that is, they help with their reproduction.”
Question 2 – State the reason for the accentuation of the oxytone in the segment identified above:
Question 3 – Complete the space with “has” or “have”:
“To this group, wasps and ants also belong, but bees ________ a special characteristic […]”
Question 4 – The word “characteristic” is emphasized because it is:
( ) proparoxytone.
( ) oxytone ending in “a”.
( ) paroxytone ending in diphthong.
Question 5 – Highlight the rule that justifies the accentuation of the word “pollen”:
( ) Oxytone ending in “n”.
( ) Paroxytone ending in “n”.
( ) Proparoxytone ending in “n”.
Question 6 – Why are the words “sugar” and “nectar” accented?
