3a Questão
In which alternative the phrasal verb is INSEPARABLE?
Explicação:
INSEPARABLE PHRASAL VERBS always remain together. It makes no difference if a noun or pronoun is
used.
NOTE:
a) All phrasal verbs containing more than one particle are inseparable.
I've put up with the situation for more than two years.
b) Separable or inseparable phrasal verbs? Some dictionaries tell you when phrasal verbs are separable. If
a dictionary writes "look (something) up", you know that the phrasal verb "look up" is separable, and you
can say "look something up" and "look up something". It's a good idea to write "something/somebody" as
appropriate in your vocabulary book when you learn a new phrasal verb, like this:
get up
break down
put something/somebody off
turn sthg/sby down
This tells you whether the verb needs a direct object (and wh

A particle along with a verb in a phrasal verb forms a single semantic unit. A
particle combined with a verb produces a new meaning different from the
verb's meaning by itself. Prepositions do not change the meanings of their
proceeding verbs and are independent of them.

followed by an inversion.
"I am not into hip hop.""Neither am I." (Or: "Nor am I.")

previous negative clause or sentence:

to indicate that the ideas expressed in the two clauses represent two alternative choices of action.

No one but Bert remembered to bring a notebook to class. (Everyone forgot to bring a notebook,
with the exception of Bert.)
Amanda never gets tough, but she still commands a lot of respect.
YET (exception) - The word YET functions sometimes as an adverb and has several meanings: in
addition ("yet another cause of trouble" or "a simple yet noble woman"), even ("yet more expensive"), still
("he is yet a novice"), eventually ("they may yet win"), and so soon as now ("he's not here yet").
The word yet seems to carry an element of distinctiveness that but can seldom register.
OR (alternative)
1. To indicate a negative condition: We didn't know if we should risk driving through the deep water, or
get out and swim.
2. To further elaborate on the first clause: English Mistakes Welcome is the best room on Paltalk, or so the

Maria tried to read a novel in French, _________ it was too difficult.
The waiter was not very nice, _________the food was delicious.
Explicação:
FOR (reason)
It is also used to join clauses in a cause and effect relationship and indicates a reason
why (or cause) something happens. Thus, "for" is similar in meaning to "because," "as,"
or "since." However, "because," usually suggests that the reason is the most important
part of the idea: "I got rid of my television because it was destroying my brain
ells." "As" and "since" are usually used to show that the reason why something
happened is not as important as the main clause, or that the reason is well-known
already: "As you have a television and I don't, how about I come to your house to watch
the NBA playoffs?" "For" is usually used to indicate that the reason is an afterthought, an
idea that emerges once the first idea is stated.
I hated listening to her talk, for she spoke in a high nasal voice.
She refuses to admit she hates her boss, for she dislikes conflict with anyone.
Some people regard the conjunction for as rather highfalutin and literary, and it does
tend to add a bit of weightiness to the text. Beginning a sentence with the conjunction
"for" is probably not a good idea, except when you're singing "For he's a jolly good
fellow. "For" has serious sequential implications and in its use the order of thoughts is
more important than it is, say, with because or since. Its function is to introduce the
reason for the preceding clause:
John thought he had a good chance to get the job, for his father was on the
company's board of trustees.
Most of the visitors were happy just sitting around in the shade, for it had been
a long, dusty journey on the train.
