Karina's teacher asked the class to write an essay about the zoo they visited. Karina is having difficulties using the words that represent the sounds she heard and the things she saw. She wants to describe a bird that sang a lot, but she doesn't know if she should use the sound 'piu' or 'piiiu' to represent the singing. Additionally, she also remembers an animal that 'snored' and 'grunted', and she is not sure which words to use. Based on the knowledge about representing sounds with words, what would be the correct way for Karina to use these words in her essay, considering the rules of the Portuguese language?

To describe the bird's singing at the zoo, Karina should use the word 'piiiu', as it indicates a prolonged or more complex singing, which fits better with what she heard. To describe the sound of the animal that 'snored', she should use the verb 'snored', which is associated with a more continuous and heavy sound. For the sound 'grunted', she should use that word if the animal's sound was rougher and shorter.

To describe the bird's singing, Karina can use both 'piu' and 'piiiu', as they are synonyms and can be used interchangeably.

Karina should opt for 'piu' to describe the bird's singing, as 'piiiu' is a regional variation that is not considered standard in the Portuguese language.

The verb 'snored' is more appropriate to describe the sound of a bird, as 'grunt' is a sound associated only with large animals.

Instead of 'piiiu', Karina can use 'piu' for the bird's singing, since 'piu' is the most common form accepted by the rules of the Portuguese language.
