1. Collectively, read the following statement:

A group of people decided to go camping near a virgin beach, so they took water, coffee, sugar, table salt, and some food. A heat wave surprised them on the beach, so, after a while, one of the members showed symptoms of dehydration. Water did not improve their condition and, furthermore, there was little left. Someone proposed preparing a hydrating drink based on electrolytes, like those sold in stores or pharmacies. However, no one knew what electrolytes were, nor did they have a signal to communicate and ask someone about them or look for them on the internet. They only remembered that those drinks had a sweet taste and were called electrolytes in the TV ads. So, they immediately proceeded to put some sugar in the water bottle and made the dehydrated person drink from it. To everyone's surprise, the person did not feel better, so they cancelled their tour to take this person to the hospital.
