What will the skate park look like after the weekend? A notice on the community center’s board explains the next steps of a small renovation. “On Saturday, volunteers will paint the walls and clean the area. The repair team will work on the new ramps. If the weather stays dry, the work should move faster. We have ordered the wood and screws, and the delivery is expected on Friday afternoon. Because most materials are already here, there is a strong chance the ramps will be ready for use by Saturday evening, but delays can happen. Next month, we plan to add more lights near the entrance. Residents are invited to share ideas about what they would like to see in the park in the future.” Based on the notice, interpret the expression “there is a strong chance” and complete the sentence with the option that best matches its meaning: “The repair team ____ finish the ramps by Saturday evening.”

1. A) is planning to
2. B) might
3. C) is hoping to
4. D) is definitely going to
5. E) is likely to

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa E

Resolução passo a passo

1. Identifique o sentido da expressão 'there is a strong chance'. Ela significa que é muito provável que algo aconteça, sem ser garantido. Passo 2: Procure no aviso as informações que sustentam essa probabilidade. O material já está quase todo disponível, e a entrega de madeira e parafusos é esperada para sexta à tarde. Por isso, os ramps devem estar prontos no sábado à noite. Passo 3: Escolha a alternativa que expressa probabilidade alta. 'Is likely to' significa 'provavelmente vai', o que combina com 'strong chance'. Assim, a frase fica: The repair team is likely to finish the ramps by Saturday evening. Passo 4: Analise as alternativas erradas. A) 'is planning to' expressa intenção ou plano, não probabilidade. B) 'might' indica possibilidade fraca, menor que a chance forte descrita no aviso. C) 'is hoping to' expressa desejo, não uma estimativa baseada em fatos. D) 'is definitely going to' indica certeza total, o que contradiz a frase final do aviso, 'delays can happen'. Passo 5: Conclusão: o gabarito oficial E está correto.

💡 Dica: Analise o contexto para entender o significado da expressão.
