Questão

Maya wrote about a trip last Friday: “I went to the bus station at 6 p.m. I met my brother on the platform, and we waited there because the bus was late. The driver changed the route, but we arrived at the museum before 7 p.m.” Read Maya’s report and choose the sentence that correctly summarizes her experience, using the past tense, time expressions, and connectors.

1. A) Maya went to the bus station at 6 p.m., met her brother on the platform, and waited there, but they arrived at the museum because the bus was late before 7 p.m.
2. B) Maya went to the bus station on 6 p.m., met her brother at the platform, and waited there because the bus was late, but they arrived at the museum before 7 p.m.
3. C) Maya went to the bus station at 6 p.m., met her brother on the platform, and waited there because the bus were late, but they arrived at the museum before 7 p.m.
4. D) Maya went to the bus station at 6 p.m., met her brother on the platform, and waited there because the bus was late, but they arrived at the museum before 7 p.m.
5. E) Maya goes to the bus station at 6 p.m., met her brother on the platform, and waited there because the bus was late, but they arrived at the museum before 7 p.m.

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa D

Resolução passo a passo

1. Resolvi a questão lendo o relato de Maya e identificando os fatos: ela foi à rodoviária às 18h ("at 6 p.m."), encontrou o irmão na plataforma ("on the platform"), esperaram porque o ônibus atrasou ("because the bus was late") e chegaram ao museu antes das 19h ("before 7 p.m."). Todos os fatos estão no passado, e o enunciado pede o passado, expressões de tempo e conectores.
2. A alternativa D cobre todos esses fatos com a estrutura correta: "went" (passado de go), "at 6 p.m." (expressão de hora exata), "on the platform" (preposição correta), "met" e "waited" no passado, "because the bus was late" (conector de causa com verbo to be no passado, singular, concordando com "the bus") e "but" (conector de contraste), seguido de "before 7 p.m." para a chegada ao museu. Portanto, D é a resposta correta, o que coincide com o gabarito oficial.
3. Por que as outras estão erradas:
4. A: o conector "because" foi colocado na oração errada, pois sugere que chegaram ao museu por causa do atraso, o que inverte o sentido do relato.
5. B: "on 6 p.m." usa a preposição errada para horas, que deve ser "at", e "at the platform" é menos natural que "on the platform".
6. C: "the bus were late" usa o verbo no plural, quando o sujeito "the bus" é singular.
7. E: "goes" está no presente, enquanto o relato todo está no passado, e "met" fica inconsistente com esse tempo verbal.
8. Não identifiquei nenhuma dúvida relevante. A única diferença entre D e as demais está na correção gramatical e no sentido causal, que aparecem claramente no enunciado.

💡 Dica: Leia atentamente o texto e identifique a frase que usa corretamente os tempos verbais e conectores.
