Questão

Why do some small towns preserve their cultural heritage better than others? In Elderville, an annual folk festival draws more than 300 residents each spring. Local volunteers manage every aspect: they curate musical performances, offer workshops in traditional instruments, and teach cooking classes that showcase family recipes passed down for generations. The festival supports artisans by providing booths for handcrafted goods and invites musicians to share songs that reflect the town’s history. By celebrating traditions collectively, Elderville strengthens community bonds and encourages younger generations to learn about their roots. Identify the sentence that correctly combines the following two sentences using an appropriate relative pronoun: "The festival is organized by volunteers. The volunteers love traditional music."

1. A) The festival is organized by volunteers, who loves traditional music.
2. B) The festival is organized by volunteers which love traditional music.
3. C) The festival is organized by volunteers who love traditional music.
4. D) The festival is organized by volunteers that thing love traditional music.
5. E) The festival is organized by volunteers whose love traditional music.

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa C

Resolução passo a passo

1. A tarefa pede que duas frases sejam combinadas por meio de um pronome relativo adequado. A primeira frase fala dos voluntários ("volunteers"), que são pessoas, e a segunda diz que esses voluntários gostam de música tradicional ("love traditional music").
2. Para se referir a pessoas, o pronome relativo correto em inglês é "who" (ou "that", em contextos restritivos informais). Assim, a combinação natural é "The festival is organized by volunteers who love traditional music", em que "who" substitui o sujeito "The volunteers" da segunda frase.
3. Verificando a concordância, o verbo "love" está na forma plural correta, concordando com o sujeito "volunteers" que o pronome retoma.
4. Por que as outras estão erradas:
5. A) Usa "who" corretamente, mas o verbo "loves" não concorda com o plural "volunteers".
6. B) "which" se refere a coisas, não a pessoas, e não é o pronome adequado aqui.
7. D) "thing" é uma palavra estranha e sem função nesta frase, tornando-a gramaticalmente incorreta.
8. E) "whose" indica posse e exigiria um substantivo depois (por exemplo, "whose love..." precisaria de um elemento como "members" ou "love for music"), além de a frase ficar incompleta com o verbo "love" sem sujeito adequado.
9. Portanto, a alternativa C é a única que combina corretamente as duas frases, com pronome relativo apropriado para pessoas e concordância verbal correta, coincidindo com o gabarito oficial.

💡 Dica: Preste atenção ao uso correto do pronome relativo e concordância verbal.
