Why do some trails feel safer than others? A travel blogger wrote about three routes in a mountain park. She noted that the forest path was quieter than the river trail and that the river trail was less crowded than the canyon route. She added that the canyon route, with its steep walls and narrow ledges, was the most dangerous of all. Finally, she mentioned that the forest path was the longest, but the canyon route took the shortest time to complete. Analise o texto-base e identifique a sentença que apresenta corretamente a forma superlativa do adjetivo “dangerous”.

1. A) She added that the canyon route, with its steep walls and narrow ledges, was the most dangerous of all.
2. B) She noted that the forest path was quieter than the river trail.
3. C) She noted that the river trail was less crowded than the canyon route.
4. D) She mentioned that the canyon route took the shortest time to complete.
5. E) She mentioned that the forest path was the longest.

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa A

Resolução passo a passo

1. A questão pede a sentença que apresenta corretamente a forma superlativa do adjetivo "dangerous" (perigoso). Para isso, é preciso localizar no texto uma frase em que o adjetivo aparece no grau superlativo, isto é, indicando que algo possui a maior intensidade entre um conjunto de elementos.
2. Em inglês, adjetivos longos, como "dangerous" (três ou mais sílabas), formam o superlativo com a estrutura "the most" + adjetivo, e não com a terminação "-est". Assim, a forma correta é "the most dangerous".
3. Na alternativa A, a frase "the canyon route ... was the most dangerous of all" apresenta exatamente essa estrutura (the most + dangerous) com a expressão "of all", que indica comparação com todo o conjunto de trilhas. Logo, esta é a alternativa correta, o que coincide com o gabarito oficial.
4. Por que as outras estão erradas:
5. - B: usa o comparativo "quieter than" (mais tranquila que), não o superlativo nem o adjetivo "dangerous".
6. - C: usa o comparativo de inferioridade "less crowded than" (menos lotada que), com o adjetivo "crowded", não "dangerous".
7. - D: traz o superlativo "the shortest", mas do adjetivo "short" (curto), e não do adjetivo "dangerous".
8. - E: traz o superlativo "the longest", mas do adjetivo "long" (longo), e não do adjetivo "dangerous".
9. Conclusão: a sentença que apresenta corretamente o superlativo de "dangerous" é a A, "the most dangerous of all".

💡 Dica: Leia atentamente o texto e identifique a forma superlativa correta do adjetivo.
