According to the following text, what is the primary role of teachers in ESP courses?
While ESP teachers may have some understanding of the fields in which their students work, these teachers do not have to be knowledgeable in all of these fields. A degree in law or medicine is not required of teachers in ESP courses for lawyers or doctors. In ESP, teachers’ and students’ roles are different but complementary. Teachers are the language education specialists; they know (about) English in addition to having pedagogical skills. Students, on the other hand, have some knowledge of their professional field (generally in their first language) and usually have a real motivation to learn the language (e.g., communicate with clients, read a manual, be promoted). It is not possible to generalize, however, whether they know English.

Spain announces plans to ban social media for under -16s
Spain has become the latest European country to make plans to ban social media for children under the age of 16. The ban, which still needs parliamentary approval, is part of a raft of changes that include making company executives responsible for "illegal or harmful content" on their platforms.
Australia became the world's first country to bring in a ban last year, with others watching - and judging - its success. France, Denmark and Austria have also announced that they are considering their own national age limits.
The UK government has launched a consultation on whether to implement a ban for under-16s. Social media companies have argued that the bans would be ineffective, difficult to implement and could isolate vulnerable teenagers. Reddit is challenging Australia's ban in the High Court.
The new laws would also criminalise manipulating algorithms to amplify illegal content. The European Commission has launched an investigation into Grok [X's AI tool] over concerns it was used to create sexualised images of real people. The UK has announced its own investigation into Grok and on Tuesday in France, the offices of X were raided by the Paris prosecutor's cyber-crime unit as it looked into allegations of offences including unlawful data extraction and complicity in the possession of child pornography.
In response to the announcement, X owner Elon Musk labelled Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez as a "tyrant and traitor to the people of Spain". TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, Reddit, Discord and Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram have all been approached for comment. France has led the charge in Europe, with President Emmanuel Macron saying he wants a ban for under-15s in place by the start of the next school year in September.

Read the following passage from Passing, by Nella Larsen, and answer questions 35, 36 and 37.
Stepping out of the elevator that had brought her to the roof, she was led to a table just in front of a long window whose gently moving curtains suggested a cool breeze. It was, she thought, like being wafted upward on a magic carpet to another world, pleasant, quiet, and strangely remote from the sizzling one that she had left below.

In the advanced reading of scientific discourse, the ability to perform complex inferences is intrinsically linked to the decoding of specific verbal and nominal structures. Associate the linguistic features (Column I) with their respective inferential demands in the teaching-learning process (Column II):
Linguistic Analysis Support
"The crystallization of the liquid occurred rapidly."
"The results might indicate a potential failure."
"The data were collected over a six-month period."
Column I
1- Strategic Nominalization
2 - Epistemic Modality (Hedging)
3 - Passive Voice with Agent Omission
Column II
( ) Requires the reader to infer the author’s degree of caution and avoid interpreting hypotheses as absolute facts.
( ) Requires the reader to infer the objectivity of the report by focusing on the scientific process rather than the individual researcher.
( ) Requires the reader to infer complex relationships between processes that have been condensed into abstract noun phrases.

Analyze the structural and semantic organization of the complex nominal group: "The recently updated safety protocol guidelines."
I. The head of the phrase is "guidelines", which receives multiple levels of pre-modification, creating a high information density typical of Technical English (ESP).
II. The word "safety" functions as a noun adjunct, but it specifically modifies the compound unit "protocol guidelines", rather than just the word "protocol".
III. The adverbial-adjectival block "recently updated" establishes a temporal boundary that restricts the entire subsequent nominal chain.
Based on the principles of Nominal Groups, choose the correct option:

According to the reading strategies proposed by Grellet (1981), the process of inferencing is essential for a complete understanding of technical texts. When a reader encounters a sentence like "The algorithm's outputs were biased; consequently, the developers had to recalibrate the training set," the reader performs an inference by:
