Questão

Last week, a student described her weekend plans in a class newsletter. She walked through the neighborhood on Saturday morning and baked chocolate muffins in her kitchen. In the afternoon, she visited the local museum and smiled at the colorful exhibits. Later that day, she cooked spaghetti for dinner and watched a documentary with her brother. On Sunday, she walked again to the community garden and baked fresh bread. Then she visited her grandparents and smiled as she enjoyed their homemade jam. She even cooked pancakes for breakfast before heading home. Based on the text, identify the verb whose -ed ending is pronounced /?d/.

1. A) cooked
2. B) walked
3. C) smiled
4. D) visited
5. E) baked

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa D

Resolução passo a passo

1. Interpretei o símbolo /?d/ como o som /ɪd/, que é a pronúncia silábica do -ed (como em wanted). Essa pronúncia ocorre apenas quando o verbo termina em som de t ou d.
2. Recordo as regras do -ed. Após sons surdos (como p, k, f, s, ch), o -ed soa /t/. Após sons sonoros (como b, g, l, m, n, v, z), soa /d/. Somente após t ou d soa /ɪd/.
3. Analiso cada verbo. Cooked termina em k, que é surdo, logo soa /kt/ e não /ɪd/. Walked também termina em k, soando /kt/. Smiled termina em l, que é sonoro, logo soa /ld/ e não /ɪd/. Baked termina em k, soando /kt/.
4. Visited vem de visit, cuja base termina em t. Por isso o -ed é pronunciado como /ɪd/ (vi-zi-tid), tornando-se uma sílaba a mais.
5. Conclusão: a alternativa correta é D, visited, que coincide com o gabarito oficial. Cooked, walked, smiled e baked estão erradas porque o -ed desses verbos não forma sílaba extra, sendo pronunciado como /t/ ou /d/.

💡 Dica: Observe o som final do verbo antes de acrescentar -ed.
