Questão

At the edge of the town, Mina found an old book with a torn blue cover inside her grandmother’s chest. The pages were yellow, and the letters looked small and careful, as if each sentence had been written to last for many years. That night, Mina read a story about a girl who crossed a dark forest to save her brother. At first, Mina thought the book was only old paper. But as she turned the pages, she imagined the voices, the fears, and the courage of the characters. In the morning, she placed the book on her desk and told her grandmother, “I want to read another story tonight.” Her grandmother smiled and said that some books carry memories from one generation to the next. Interpret the excerpt. What does Mina’s final decision show about her relationship with the book?

1. A) She prefers new books to the grandmother’s book.
2. B) She plans to return the book to the chest immediately.
3. C) She begins to value the stories it preserves.
4. D) She decides to repair the torn cover first.
5. E) She understands the story only as a school assignment.

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa C

Resolução passo a passo

1. Leia o trecho com atenção. Mina encontra um livro antigo, inicialmente acha que é apenas papel velho, mas, ao folhear, imagina vozes, medos e coragem dos personagens.
2. A decisão final de Mina aparece na fala: 'I want to read another story tonight', ou seja, ela quer ler outra história nessa mesma noite. Isso mostra que ela passou a valorizar o livro pelas histórias que ele guarda, e não pelo objeto em si.
3. Portanto, a alternativa correta é a C, 'She begins to value the stories it preserves' (ela começa a valorizar as histórias que ele preserva). Essa é a resposta que eu obtive ao resolver a questão antes de comparar com o gabarito, e ela coincide com o gabarito oficial.
4. Por que as outras estão erradas: A) o texto não compara livros novos com o antigo, e Mina não rejeita o livro da avó; B) ela pretende ler, não devolver o livro ao baú; D) não há menção a reparar a capa rasgada; E) ela se envolve com a história por prazer e imaginação, não como tarefa escolar.

💡 Dica: Leia o trecho atentamente e relacione a decisão de Mina com o significado do livro.
