Questão

When the city council announced a new bike lane along Riverside Avenue, the discussion quickly moved beyond traffic rules. Supporters said the lane would give teenagers and workers a safer way to travel, reduce air pollution, and make short trips faster than sitting in traffic. One local shop owner added that cyclists often stop more easily than drivers, which can increase sales. Opponents replied that the street is already narrow and that removing one car lane could create longer jams during rush hour. They also argued that not everyone can ride a bike because of age, distance, or physical condition. In response, supporters pointed out that the project does not replace buses or walking paths; it only offers another option for people who want a different form of transport. Analyze the text and identify the statement that best strengthens the supporters' point of view.

1. A) It shows that the project would remove one car lane from the avenue.
2. B) It shows that the street is already narrow and could create longer jams during rush hour.
3. C) It shows that not everyone can ride a bike because of age, distance, or physical condition.
4. D) It shows that the discussion moved beyond traffic rules and became a debate about city life.
5. E) It shows that the bike lane offers another travel option without replacing buses or walking paths.

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa E

Resolução passo a passo

1. Identifique o ponto de vista dos apoiadores (supporters): a ciclovia traria um meio de transporte mais seguro, menos poluição e viagens curtas mais rápidas, e não substituiria ônibus ou calçadas.
2. Procure a alternativa que reforça diretamente esse argumento. A alternativa E afirma que a ciclovia oferece mais uma opção de deslocamento sem substituir ônibus ou caminhos para pedestres, o que responde à objeção dos opositores e fortalece a posição dos apoiadores.
3. Verifique as demais alternativas. A alternativa A descreve uma consequência que os opositores temem, e não um argumento a favor. A alternativa B repete a objeção dos opositores sobre congestionamentos, enfraquecendo a posição dos apoiadores. A alternativa C reforça a objeção de que nem todos podem andar de bicicleta, também contrária aos apoiadores. A alternativa D apenas descreve que a discussão ampliou-se, sem apoiar nenhum lado.
4. Conclusão: a alternativa correta é a E, que coincide com o gabarito oficial.

💡 Dica: Identifique a posição dos apoiadores e escolha a informação que mais reforça seus argumentos.
