Questão

On Saturday morning, a community fair opened next to the bus station in a small Brazilian town. The stalls sold fruit, books, used clothes, and homemade snacks. Several signs were written in English, even though the sellers were local. One banner said “Outlet Weekend” above a rack of discounted shirts. Another poster announced “Food Truck Zone” near the snack area. A third stand used the word “Kids” to mark toys and games for children. People who passed by stopped to read the signs and understand what each space offered. Some visitors had never studied English, but they could still guess the meaning of the words from the products, the prices, and the place where each expression appeared. In the end, the English words helped the fair look modern and also gave clues about what was being sold. Analyze the text and identify the meaning of the expression “Outlet Weekend” in this fair context.

1. A) A weekend with food sold in trucks
2. B) A weekend with cheaper items for sale
3. C) A weekend with items made only outside Brazil
4. D) A weekend with toys and games for children
5. E) A weekend with products delivered to homes

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa B

Resolução passo a passo

1. Leia o texto com atenção ao contexto em que a expressão aparece. O enunciado diz que “Outlet Weekend” está acima de “um rack de camisetas com desconto”, ou seja, a expressão está ligada a produtos vendidos com redução de preço.
2. Observe que o texto diz que os visitantes podiam adivinhar o significado das palavras pelos produtos, pelos preços e pelo lugar onde a expressão aparecia. Aqui, o lugar é a arara de camisetas e o indicador é a palavra “discounted”, que significa com desconto.
3. Assim, “Outlet Weekend” significa um fim de semana de venda de itens mais baratos, que corresponde à alternativa B. Outlet, no uso comum, indica loja ou ponto de venda de produtos com preços reduzidos.
4. Por que as outras estão erradas: A fala de comida em food trucks, que aparece em outro cartaz (“Food Truck Zone”). C menciona fabricação fora do Brasil, algo que o texto não diz. D refere-se aos brinquedos marcados com “Kids”. E fala de entrega em domicílio, que não aparece no texto.
5. Conclusão: a alternativa correta é a B, e coincide com o gabarito oficial.

💡 Dica: Use the context clues in the text to infer the meaning of 'Outlet Weekend'.
