For example, when you see a red traffic light, it means 'stop'. With that in mind, I want you to tell me: what is a symbol and what is the difference between verbal and non-verbal language? Give an example of a symbol and explain why it is important for communication.

Considering the presented excerpt and the work as a whole, evaluate the role of noun determiners in characterizing the characters and creating expectations in the reader. Explain how the use of determiners can influence the reader's interpretation of the social and emotional context of the characters. To answer this question, you must integrate knowledge about the function of noun determiners with an understanding of the historical and cultural context in which the work was written, demonstrating a critical view of the impact of these elements on the construction of the text's meaning.

Anonymous leaves thrown into the wind of sensationalism, which lead the public to alarming news, full of sensationalism and lack of foundation or proper investigation. Faced with an evil that society suffers, generated by the relative truths that the press ends up erroneously disseminating, turning into an uncontrollable power. This is the portrait of a press that is more driven by passion than reason, that does not care about informing, but manipulates, distorts facts deliberately or irresponsibly. (Unknown author) Based on the excerpt above, answer: a) The author criticizes the press, indicated by the expressions 'Anonymous leaves thrown into the wind of sensationalism' and 'relative truths that the press ends up erroneously disseminating', which suggest manipulation of information. b) The media influences public opinion, being able to educate and raise awareness about relevant issues, but also manipulate and distort facts. Responsibility and transparency in coverage are essential, as well as educating the public to critically analyze the information received.
