Questão 4Petrobras·Diversas·2010Inglês

Nick Owen believes that

Astricter environmental regulations will impose even more restrictions on the already heavy challenges in oil supply.Bmore demand for oil will certainly not interfere with the current support for ecological programs to reduce carbon emissions.Cfurther investments in newly found oil reserves will be the only alternative to help maintain future energy stability in the world.Dshifting to fuel production from tar sands can reduce the oil problems, since tar sands are more abundant and less expensive to drill.Ethe exploration of lower grade resources seems to be the best solution to conform to the environmental policies in favor of low carbon emissions.

Questão 5Petrobras·Diversas·2010Inglês

According to the text, extracting oil from the Canadian tar sands

Acan be harmful to the environment because it generates an additional demand for oil.Brequires unconventional drilling methods that cause lower impact on the nation's carbon footprint.Cis not feasible since it will require non-conventional financing to make up for the lower output rates.Dproduces higher carbon emissions resulting from both the extraction and the deployment of fuel from this source.Ehas not been authorized since Canada's governmental authorities have passed strict laws against the exploration of such reserves.

Questão 6Petrobras·Diversas·2010Inglês

Dr. Oliver Inderwildi supports all of the following statements EXCEPT

AAlternative energy sources, like hydrogen, are still not foreseen as productive in the immediate future.BIt is illusory to believe that the production of alternative fuels will make up for the decline in oil supply.CThere is enough soil available in the world for the production of agricultural products to meet the needs of both food and energy.DIt is more advisable to start using energy more efficiently than to depend on alternative solutions that are not yet entirely developed.EUsing electricity for transportation and reducing the dependence on oil are unripe strategies that still have a minor impact in the current scenario.

Questão 7Petrobras·Diversas·2010Inglês

In the text, 'contradictory estimates of oil reserve data available in the public domain.' (lines 38-39) refers to the fact that

Athe figures on the probable amount of remaining oil in reserves known have been inaccurately announcedBresearchers in the Smith School have reached conclusions on the use of energy alternatives that confirm the opinion of political leaders.Coil reserves estimates should be readjusted to indicate that around twelve hundred billion barrels are available for consumption.Dpolitical and financial concerns have led to the announcement of precise data on oil production available to the public.Eonly 850-900 billion barrels will be produced by the middle of the current decade.

Questão 8Petrobras·Diversas·2010Inglês
