Questão

The beach was already full of volunteers when the organizer turned on a small speaker. Daniel, a 7th-grade student, was helping at an international beach clean-up with visitors who spoke English. Some people were chatting, so he did not hear every word clearly, but he caught the main idea: “Thanks for coming! Please wear gloves when you pick up trash. Put sharp objects, like broken glass, in the red bucket. Plastic bottles go in the big blue bag. And please rinse any container with leftover juice or food before you drop it in the plastic bag, so it doesn’t smell and it won’t attract insects.” Daniel did not know the word “rinse”, but he used what he already knows about cleaning and recycling to understand the instruction. Analyze the announcement and use your prior knowledge about clean-up events to infer the meaning of the word “rinse” in this context. What does “rinse” mean here?

1. A) It means to throw it away immediately.
2. B) It means to paint it with a safety color.
3. C) It means to cut it into small pieces.
4. D) It means to wash it quickly with water.
5. E) It means to close it tightly with a cap.

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa D

Resolução passo a passo

1. Leia o trecho que contém a palavra desconhecida. O anúncio pede para 'rinse any container with leftover juice or food before you drop it in the plastic bag', ou seja, enxaguar qualquer recipiente que tenha suco ou comida antes de jogá-lo no saco plástico.
2. Observe o motivo dado no próprio texto: 'so it doesn't smell and it won't attract insects'. Para evitar mau cheiro e a atração de insetos, é preciso remover os resíduos de suco e comida, e isso se faz com água.
3. Use o conhecimento sobre limpeza e reciclagem. Em campanhas de limpeza, recipientes plásticos sujos são lavados ou enxaguados antes da reciclagem, o que faz sentido com a ideia de retirar restos de alimentos.
4. Conclusão. 'Rinse' significa enxaguar, isto é, lavar rapidamente com água. Portanto a alternativa correta é a D.
5. Por que as outras estão erradas. A) jogar fora imediatamente não remove o resíduo, pelo contrário, ignora a instrução de limpeza. B) pintar com cor de segurança não tem relação com limpeza. C) cortar em pedaços não elimina o suco ou a comida e não está ligado ao motivo do cheiro. E) fechar com tampa não remove nada e a instrução fala em preparar antes de descartar, não em tampar.

💡 Dica: Use o contexto do anúncio e seu conhecimento prévio sobre limpeza para inferir o significado de 'rinse'.
