In the ranking it's notable the activities of Telemar, privatized in 1998 and the state-owned Eletro


Explanation:
From your other question this seems to be the full sentence:

No ranking também se destacam as presenças da Telemar, privatizada em 1998, e da estatal Eletrobrás, ainda holding de importantes ativos na área de energia.

So in order to avoid placing the translated verb for "destacar" all the way at the end of the sentence in English after the subjects Telemar and Eletrobrás and their long winded descriptions, I woul rephrase it like this:

*****In the ranking it's notable the activities of Telemar, privatized in 1998 and the state-owned Eletrobrás.....*****

neutral  Georgia Morg (X): vocab OK but not grammatically correct; You can't say "it's notable the activities" in English IMHO

  -> You have a good point....but how would you rephrase this one without making it sound so contrived in English ? Suggestion ?
