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.

Beach erosion is generally the result of what physical process?
Paladinen [302]

The correct answer is - B) wave erosion.

The beach erosion is a direct result of the wave action on the coastline. The waves are very powerful when it comes to erosion, and this is because they have big power, and also the chemical components of the water that are very effective too.

The sheer power of the waves contributes to the direct breaking of the rocks into smaller pieces over time, while the water itself, is reacting with the rocks on a chemical level and slowly decomposes them. As the rocks are getting smaller and smaller because of the erosion, the tiny fractions of sand particles are forming the beaches along the coastlines.
