Why do commuters bring reusable water bottles to the office every day? A recent survey shows that environmental awareness has grown, encouraging more people to reduce plastic waste. Respondents reported feeling greater happiness when they made eco-friendly choices. Some mentioned their happiness increased because they saved money and helped the planet. Others noted that careless disposal of plastic harms wildlife. The survey highlights that kindness toward nature can boost overall wellness. Analyze the text and identify the word that forms a noun from the adjective 'happy' by adding the suffix '-ness'.

1. A) unhappy
2. B) careless
3. C) unhappiness
4. D) happiness
5. E) happily

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa D

Resolução passo a passo

1. A questão pede a palavra que forma um substantivo a partir do adjetivo 'happy' (feliz) pelo sufixo '-ness'. Passo 2: Na regra de formação, o 'y' final de 'happy' vira 'i' antes do sufixo, e assim se obtém 'happiness' (felicidade). Passo 3: A palavra aparece no próprio texto, em 'greater happiness', o que confirma a formação. Passo 4: Nas alternativas erradas, 'unhappy' (A) é adjetivo que significa infeliz; 'careless' (B) é adjetivo que significa descuidado e não tem relação com 'happy'; 'unhappiness' (C) é substantivo, mas é formado a partir de 'unhappy' e não de 'happy'; 'happily' (E) é advérbio formado com o sufixo '-ly', não com '-ness'. Passo 5: Minha resolução chegou à alternativa D, igual ao gabarito oficial.

💡 Dica: Identifique o sufixo '-ness' que transforma adjetivo em substantivo.
