The first Sunday of Enem 2025 brought five images in the Humanities test that candidates need to decode to solve the questions. Professor Pedro Lopez, Assessment Supervisor at SAS Educação, explains each one and what students are expected to interpret.
- The Bible, Fernanda Montenegro and Rita Lee: Find out what happened in Enem 2025
- Writing enemy: The census showed that Brazil is aging rapidly and that the population will begin to shrink in 2042
One question on urban geography provided an aerial photograph of the waterfront of Salvador.
– The test asked about the process of urban verticalization, and it was necessary to learn about the process that was happening there in the city – explains Lopez.

Another question had a cartoon about an electric car, problematizing the use of this technology.
– This cartoon pointed out a contradiction in the way alternative technology was used – notes the professor.

The question, as an illustration of the painting “Piazzetta and the Library,” by the Italian artist Luca Carlevarigis, was a historical question about Europe in the period from the Middle Ages to the modern era. “I addressed the role of the gun in this context,” Lopez says.

Another question that had a picture table was the agricultural geography question.
– The student needs to analyze the scenario and the data provided and point out the factor that contributed to placing Brazil in this scenario of global production and export of agricultural commodities – the professor analyzes.

Finally, the question regarding satellite images of fires, with an environmental theme, requires the candidate to indicate a geographic feature that shows the spatial distribution of fire outbreaks.
