Teco is a penguin that now lives in the Aquarium of Guarujá. He was found on a beach in São Sebastião by a fisherman who took him home. A neighbor saw the fisherman arriving, approached him and asked what he was going to do with the animal. Without hesitating, the fisherman said that he found that “duck” on the beach and that he was going to cook it for lunch. Alarmed, the neighbor told him that he couldn't ______________ the animal, because it wasn't a mallard at all: it was a penguin!

Question 1 - The three underlined verbs in the following sentences are in noun form. Check the sentence where the verb is in the infinitive form:
( ) "He was found on a beach in São Sebastião […]"
( ) “A neighbor saw the fisherman coming […]”
( ) “[…] and asked what he was going to to do with the animal."
Question 2 - In the period “Without hesitation, the fisherman said that he found that “duck” on the beach and that he was going to cook it for lunch.”, the verb in the infinitive “hesitate” could be replaced by:
( ) to fear
( ) to plan
( ) hesitate
Question 3 - In the context above, the phrase "Without hesitating" plays an adverbial function because it modifies the meaning:
( ) of the verb “said”.
( ) of the verb “found”.
( ) of the verb “ia”.
Question 4 – Taking into account the context of the news above, the blank indicated must be filled with the infinitive verb:
( ) to cook
( ) clean
( ) take along
Question 5 - The verb indicated in the previous question is:
( ) indirect transitive because it required a complement with a preposition.
( ) direct transitive because it required a complement without a preposition.
( ) intransitive because it did not require a complement.
