Read the text and answer question.

As one of the oldest and most influential foreign language pedagogical journals, The Modern Language Journal (MLJ) offers valuable insights into how technological advances have affected language teaching and learning at various points in history. The present article will review the proposed pedagogical use of technological resources by means of a critical analysis of articles published in the MLJ since its first edition in 1916. The assessment of how previous technical capabilities have been implemented for pedagogical purposes represents a necessary background for the assessment of the pedagogical potential of present-day technologies. In this article I argue that, whereas most “new technologies” (radio, television, VCR, computers) may have been revolutionary in the overall context of human interaction, it is not clear that they have achieved equal degrees of pedagogical benefit in the realm of second language teaching. I further claim that the pedagogical effectiveness of different technologies is related to four major questions: (a) Is increased technological sophistication correlated to increased pedagogical effectiveness? (b) Which technical attributes specific to new technologies can be profitably exploited for pedagogical purposes? (c) How can new technologies be successfully integrated into the curriculum? and (d) Do new technologies provide for an efficient use of human and material resources?

Sometimes, when communicating, users of the language may have to report what they have heard or read from someone else. In the case of the question taken from the text “Which technical attributes specific to new technologies can be profitably exploited for pedagogical purposes?”, the appropriate reported form beginning with “The author asked” is:

Awhich technical attributes could be profitably exploited for pedagogical purposes.
Bwhether or not can technical attributes be profitably exploited for pedagogical purposes.
Cif technical attributes can be profitably exploited for pedagogical purposes.
Dif can technical attributes be profitably exploited for pedagogical purposes.
Ewhich technical attributes could it be profitably exploited for pedagogical purposes.

GabaritoA — which technical attributes could be profitably exploited for pedagogical purposes.

Reported speech – Perguntas com 'which'

Gabarito: letra A. A pergunta original do texto é uma wh-question (iniciada por "which"). No reported speech, com o verbo asked no passado, mantém-se o wh-word, inverte-se a ordem para sujeito + verbo (sem auxiliar antes do sujeito) e faz-se o backshift de "can" para "could". A única alternativa que obedece a essas regras é a A: "which technical attributes could be profitably exploited..."

Alternativa A — ✅ Correta ⟵ GABARITO

A frase respeita todas as transformações: mantém o wh-word "which", usa o verbo no passado "could" (backshift de "can"), e a ordem é direta (sujeito "technical attributes" antes do verbo "could"). Nenhuma inversão ou pronome extra.

Alternativa B — ❌ Incorreta

Usa "whether or not" (próprio de yes/no questions, não de wh-questions) e mantém a inversão típica da pergunta direta ("can technical attributes be"). No reported speech a inversão é desfeita.

Alternativa C — ❌ Incorreta

Embora a ordem esteja correta (sujeito + verbo), o uso de "if" é exclusivo para perguntas fechadas (yes/no questions). A pergunta original é aberta (começa com "which"), portanto exige o wh-word correspondente.

Alternativa D — ❌ Incorreta

Erro duplo: (1) usa "if" em vez de "which"; (2) mantém a inversão do verbo auxiliar antes do sujeito ("can technical attributes be").

Alternativa E — ❌ Incorreta

Contém um pronome "it" intrusivo ("could it be exploited") que não existe na pergunta original. Além disso, a ordem deveria ser sujeito + verbo sem o "it".

PEGA ESSA DICA!

Para wh-questions no reported speech, lembre-se: mantenha o wh-word, elimine a inversão (sujeito + verbo), e recue o tempo verbal (presente → passado, passado → passado perfeito, etc.). Nunca use "if" ou "whether" para perguntas com wh.
