As technology continues to reshape nearly every sector of society, it is also transforming police work in the 21º century. Law enforcement leaders can now count on an arsenal of high-tech systems and tools that are designed to enhance public safety, catch criminals and save lives. 
    One of their options is the use of biometrics. Police have been using fingerprints to identify people for over a century. Now, in addition to facial recognition and DNA, there is an ever-expanding array of biometric characteristics being utilized by law enforcement and the intelligence community. These include voice recognition, palmprints, wrist veins, iris recognition, and even heartbeats.
    With comprehensive electronic databases now in place to more effectively use DNA and other biometric data, even the use of fingerprints to identify suspects has gone high-tech. For example, a CNBC report explains how police in London can now use a mobile INK (Identity Not Known) biometrics device to scan a suspect's fingerprints and in many cases reveal their identity within 60 seconds.

Interpretação de expressão – "ever-expanding array"

✅ CERTO. A expressão "ever-expanding array" significa literalmente "um conjunto em constante expansão", indicando que a quantidade de características biométricas disponíveis para uso das forças policiais e da comunidade de inteligência nunca para de crescer. O próprio texto afirma que há "an ever-expanding array of biometric characteristics being utilized", o que corrobora a afirmação do item.

Trecho do texto:

"Now, in addition to facial recognition and DNA, there is an ever-expanding array of biometric characteristics being utilized by law enforcement and the intelligence community."

A palavra "ever" reforça a ideia de continuidade ("sempre"), e "expanding" significa "expandindo", "crescendo". Portanto, o item está correto ao afirmar que o número desses traços "never ceases to grow" (nunca cessa de crescer).

✅ CERTO.
