Consider the following text to answer the question.

 

Global temperatures in 2025 were slightly lower than in 2024 because of La Niña, a natural weather pattern that cools the Pacific Ocean.

 

Even so, 2025 became the third warmest year ever recorded. The last three years were the hottest in history, which shows a clear long-term warming trend. Scientists say today’s temperatures stay far above levels from before the heavy use of fossil fuels.

 

Experts explain that this warming happens mainly because people continue to release carbon emissions. Although some cooling came from natural causes, it didn’t stop the overall rise. Scientists warn that more heat records and stronger weather events will follow if emissions don’t fall quickly. Fires, floods, and heat waves have already affected many parts of the world.

 

Researchers say the science is very clear and not uncertain. Governments, companies, and individuals all play a role. People can vote, spend money carefully, and support cleaner energy. Reducing emissions soon can help slow warming and protect the planet.

In the excerpt “Even so, 2025 became the third warmest year ever recorded”, the cohesive expression “Even so” establishes a discourse relation characterized by:

  1. Additive reinforcement, intensifying previously presented statistical evidence.
  2. Inferential consolidation, synthetically deriving a conclusion from prior scientific observations.
  3. Exemplificatory specification, introducing a concrete illustration of a broader climatic trend.
  4. Concessive-adversative contrast, signaling that the subsequent statement remains valid despite the previously mentioned cooling effect.
  5. Direct causation, attributing the recorded temperature ranking to the immediate impact of La Niña.

Comentário do professor

"Even so" funciona como um marcador discursivo de concessão e contraste. A expressão equivale a "mesmo assim" ou "ainda assim" e introduz uma ideia que permanece válida apesar de um fato prévio que poderia impedir ou enfraquecer essa ideia.

No trecho, a frase anterior aponta um efeito de resfriamento causado por La Niña; "Even so" destaca que, apesar desse fator atenuante, o resultado (2025 ter sido o terceiro ano mais quente) se mantém. Esse uso cria uma ressalva e efeito de surpresa, reforçando que o aquecimento é robusto frente a variabilidade natural.

Portanto, a expressão estabelece claramente uma relação de contraste concessivo, justificando a alternativa correta.
