Questão

Lost water bottles and wallets are common during the Riverside Night Market, so the organizers prepared a small “Lost & Found” sign in English for visitors. Because the sign must fit on one board, the volunteer translator tries to reduce the number of lines without changing the message. Draft for the sign: “Lost something? Go to the Information Desk near Gate 2. Ask for Mrs. Patel. Her notebook has the list of reported items. Show a photo of your item if you have one.” The organizers want one sentence that links the information about Mrs. Patel and the notebook clearly, using a relative pronoun. Consider the draft sign. Identify the sentence that best replaces the two sentences about Mrs. Patel, keeping the meaning and using a relative pronoun correctly.

1. A) Ask for Mrs. Patel, who notebook has the list of reported items.
2. B) Ask for Mrs. Patel, whose notebook has the list of reported items.
3. C) Ask for Mrs. Patel, which notebook has the list of reported items.
4. D) Ask for Mrs. Patel, whose notebook have the list of reported items.
5. E) Ask for Mrs. Patel, that notebook has the list of reported items.

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa B

Resolução passo a passo

1. O objetivo é juntar duas frases em uma só, usando um pronome relativo, sem mudar o sentido. As frases originais são: "Ask for Mrs. Patel." e "Her notebook has the list of reported items."
2. A palavra "her" (seu/sua, dela) indica posse. Para unir as duas ideias, precisamos de um pronome relativo que expresse posse, ou seja, que signifique "cujo/cuja". Em inglês, esse pronome é "whose".
3. Assim, a frase correta fica: "Ask for Mrs. Patel, whose notebook has the list of reported items." (Alternativa B). O verbo "has" concorda com o sujeito singular "notebook", e a frase mantém o sentido original.
4. Por que as outras estão erradas:
5. - A: "who" é pronome relativo de pessoa, mas "who notebook" não tem sentido gramatical, pois falta o possessivo correto.
6. - C: "which" refere-se a coisas e não expressa posse; "which notebook" não une corretamente as ideias.
7. - D: "whose" está correto, mas "have" não concorda com o sujeito singular "notebook", devendo ser "has".
8. - E: "that" não expressa posse, então "that notebook" apenas repetiria um demonstrativo e não indicaria que o caderno pertence a Mrs. Patel.
9. Conclusão: a alternativa B é a única que usa o pronome relativo de posse e mantém a concordância verbal, preservando o significado do aviso.

💡 Dica: Identifique o uso correto do pronome relativo possessivo para ligar as informações.
