Answer:

C. Portugal had established a colony in Brazil in the past.

Explanation:

   The Portuguese language arrived on Brazilian territory aboard Portuguese ships in the 16th century to join the Tupi-Guarani language family, especially Tupinambá, one of the Tupi dialects. The Indians, subjugated or acculturated, taught the dialect to Europeans who later began to communicate in this “general language” - Tupinambá. In 1694, the general language reigned in the then Portuguese colony, with characteristics of literary language, as the missionaries translated sacred pieces, prayers and hymns into catechesis.

   With the arrival of the Yoruba language (Nigeria) and Quimbundo (Angola), through slaves brought from Africa, and with new settlers, the Portuguese Court wanted to ensure a greater political presence. One of the first measures he adopted, then, was to oblige the teaching of the Portuguese language to the Indigenous.

   In 1759, a charter extended the Directory Law: it made the use of Portuguese as an official language mandatory throughout the Brazilian territory. Therefore, over two centuries, Brazil obliterated the tupinambá for the benefit of Portuguese.

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

A population density map is used to define as a map that shows the presence of a number of the population existing in any particular area. It directly reflects the dispersion of people that are mainly affected by environmental factors. This includes the variable amount of natural resources present in that area, the type of climate prevailing, the topography of the area and the availability of water resources.

On the other hand, the places which are highly elevated, lack of resources and extreme cold and hot climate are comprised of a lesser population.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
