The relationship between English and Portuguese includes "false friends" and words with similar sounds but different meanings, which can lead to comprehension errors. Concerning these linguistic traps, mark the CORRECT alternative.

Alternativa A:
The English term "novel" is frequently used in academic texts to refer to a "novela" or a soap opera broadcast on television, following the direct translation rules adopted by bilingual dictionaries.
Alternativa B:
The word "parents" is a perfect cognate, meaning "parentes" in Portuguese, and it should be used in formal reports to refer to the entire extended family of a student in the context of school meetings.
Alternativa C:
Words with similar sounds, such as "push" and "puxe," are considered synonyms, as the phonetic similarity guarantees that the action to be performed is identical in both linguistic systems.
Alternativa D:
False cognates, also known as false friends, are words that have a similar spelling in both languages but possess different meanings, such as "actually," which means "na verdade" in English, not "atualmente."
