Questão

What happens when the sky refuses to cooperate? The Riverfront Astronomy Club has planned a stargazing night for this Saturday. The building manager confirmed the terrace booking from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m., and a volunteer will bring two telescopes. However, the weather app shows about a 75% chance of heavy cloud cover at 7 p.m., with a small chance of clearer spots later in the evening. To avoid wasting the trip, the club also asked to keep an indoor classroom available for a short talk about constellations. The final decision about staying outside or moving indoors will be made shortly before the activity begins, after checking the sky. Analyze the text and identify the message that best matches the club’s plans and the level of possibility about changing locations.

1. A) We are meeting at 7 p.m. on the terrace, but we might cancel because the terrace has not been reserved.
2. B) We will meet at 7 p.m. on the terrace, but we will watch the stars there even if the clouds stay heavy.
3. C) We are meeting at 7 p.m. on the terrace, but we might move indoors if the clouds are still heavy at that time.
4. D) We are going to meet at 7 p.m. on the terrace, but we will move indoors if the clouds are still heavy at that time.
5. E) We might meet at 7 p.m. on the terrace, but we will move indoors if the clouds are still heavy at that time.

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa C

Resolução passo a passo

1. Identifique o que é certo no plano. O texto diz que o gabinete do prédio confirmou a reserva do terraço das 19h às 21h30 e que um voluntário levará dois telescópios, então o encontro no terraço às 19h está garantido: usamos 'we are meeting'. Passo 2: Identifique o que é incerto. A previsão mostra cerca de 75% de chance de nuvens carregadas às 19h, e a decisão de ficar fora ou entrar só será tomada pouco antes, após checar o céu. Logo, a mudança para a sala interna é apenas possível, não certa: usamos 'might move indoors', com a condição 'if the clouds are still heavy at that time'. Passo 3: Compare com as alternativas. A alternativa C combina exatamente o encontro confirmado no terraço ('we are meeting') com a possibilidade condicionada de mudança ('we might move indoors if the clouds are still heavy'). Passo 4: Por que as outras estão erradas. A diz que o terraço não foi reservado, o que contradiz a confirmação do gabinete. B ignora a condição e afirma que observarão as estrelas mesmo com nuvens carregadas, o que o texto não diz. D transforma a possibilidade em certeza ao usar 'will move indoors', quando o texto fala em chance de 75% e decisão ainda não tomada. E trata o encontro confirmado no terraço como incerto ('might meet'), quando a reserva está confirmada. Gabarito oficial C confirmado.

💡 Dica: Leia atentamente o texto para entender as condições e a decisão do clube.
