Portuguese activity, aimed at second-year high school students, explores the verbal Regency. When one term has the meaning completed by another, the ruling relationship is established. Are we going to analyze verbs and their complements to understand verbal rulership? So, answer the varied and challenging questions posed based on the text To transform your city, plant a tree! It is present on the NGO portal SOS Atlantic Forest Foundation and was written by Kelly De Marchi.

Our cities need trees, which, in addition to offering us their shade, bring us countless benefits. More trees contribute to an improvement in the urban microclimate, helping to reduce temperature and air pollution. They increase soil permeability and retain rainwater, preventing landslides, erosion and flooding. They act as a barrier against wind, noise and light. From the point of view of regional biodiversity, they are still fundamental for the environmental balance, serving as housing and food for small species, birds, insects and microorganisms. In addition, of course, to the psychological well-being of traveling through a beautiful wooded area.
With so many advantages, we can say that if you want to transform your environment, whether in the countryside or in the city, in a place with better quality of life, one option is to start by planting a tree. But, of course, you need to follow some tips to ensure the success of the endeavor.
The first step is to choose where you want to plant the tree. In the city, this is a process that requires prior knowledge of the characteristics of the species so that it does not damage to the plant or public equipment, such as electrical wiring and breakage of the sidewalk by roots, among others. Basically, species must allow sunlight, coexist with lighting networks, keep adequate distance from the houses and be small, with shallow roots, such as the cherry tree. On the other hand, open areas without vegetation can receive trees of different sizes, growth speed and profile.
Research and prioritize native tree species in your region – environmental agencies and seedling nurseries are usually good sources for this information. Try to choose a species that is viable to care for and find out about aspects such as frequency of watering and the need for pruning.
It is also essential to verify the need for authorization to plant in the chosen location. The best option is to seek guidance from the city hall, environment department or other agency responsible for the issue in your municipality.
[…] The message remains: planting and caring for _______ a tree is another great way to exercise social and environmental citizenship and contribute _______ to a more sustainable environment.

Question 1 - Underline the "a" that works as a preposition, necessary for the conduction of a verb:
“More trees contribute to an improvement in the urban microclimate, helping to reduce temperature and air pollution.”
Question 2 - In the segment “[…] there is no damage to the plant or public equipment […]”, the regent term (the verb “occur”) required two types of complements (without preposition and with preposition). Therefore, this verb is:
a) connection
b) intransitive
c) direct transitive
d) direct and indirect transitive
Question 3 - In the passage “[…] far beyond offering us […]”, the preposition is implicit in the term “us”. Check the alternative in which it was correctly explained:

a) a hypothesis of the author of the text.
b) an order of the author of the text.
c) a certainty of the author of the text.
d) a recommendation by the author of the text.
Question 6 – Pay attention to the verbs and then fill in the spaces indicated with the necessary prepositions for the regency:
