Questão

“Can you rewrite this message before we post it?” the market coordinator asked a volunteer who speaks English. During a crowded street market, Rosa found a phone on a bench. She handed it to Marcos, who answered a call from the owner, Ms. Green, a tourist. Marcos walked to the information tent and returned the phone when Ms. Green arrived. After checking the screen lock, Ms. Green smiled and thanked Marcos and Rosa for helping. The coordinator’s draft for the community board was written fast and sounds confusing to English speakers because of the pronouns: “Rosa and me found Ms. Green’s phone, and Marcos returned it to she; she thanked he and we.” The volunteer must keep the same meaning but make the pronouns correct. Analyze the draft sentence in the text and choose the revision that best keeps its meaning while using subject and object pronouns correctly.

1. A) Rosa and me found Ms. Green’s phone, and Marcos returned it to she; she thanked he and we.
2. B) Rosa and me found Ms. Green’s phone, and Marcos returned it to her; she thanked him and us.
3. C) Rosa and I found Ms. Green’s phone, and Marcos returned it to her; she thanked him and us.
4. D) Rosa and I found Ms. Green’s phone, and Marcos returned it to her; she thanked he and we.
5. E) Rosa and I found Ms. Green’s phone, and Marcos returned it to she; she thanked him and us.

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa C

Resolução passo a passo

1. Resolvi a questão identificando o que o rascunho errou. Em 'Rosa and me found', 'me' é pronome objeto e não pode ser sujeito; o correto é 'I'. Em 'returned it to she', após a preposição 'to' usa-se pronome objeto, 'her'. Em 'she thanked he and we', o objeto de 'thanked' deve ser 'him' e 'us', não 'he' e 'we'. Passo 2: Reescrevendo a frase com os pronomes corretos, temos: 'Rosa and I found Ms. Green's phone, and Marcos returned it to her; she thanked him and us.' O sentido é mantido: Rosa e eu achamos o celular, Marcos o devolveu para ela, e ela agradeceu a ele e a nós. Passo 3: Verifiquei cada pronome. 'I' é sujeito coordenado com 'Rosa'; 'her' é objeto após 'to'; 'she' é sujeito da segunda oração e refere-se a Ms. Green; 'him' e 'us' são objetos do verbo 'thanked'. Passo 4: Comparando com o gabarito oficial, C é a alternativa correta, e coincide com minha conclusão. Passo 5: Por que as outras estão erradas: A mantém todos os pronomes incorretos; B usa 'me' como sujeito, embora acerte 'her', 'him' e 'us'; D acerta 'I' e 'her', mas usa 'he' e 'we' como objetos; E usa 'she' após 'to', embora acerte 'I', 'him' e 'us'.

💡 Dica: Identifique os pronomes sujeitos e objetos corretos para manter o sentido.
