Questão

Dark clouds are moving over the community square, but the sound check is already planned. Ana, 14, is posting updates about a charity concert to collect food donations. In the group chat, the band writes: “Van confirmed. See you at 5:00 p.m.” The community center has the stage reserved from 4:30 p.m., and volunteers are setting the chairs right now. While walking outside, Ana notices the wind getting stronger and the flags bending. She also checks a weather app, which shows a rain icon around 6:00 p.m. Ana wants to add one sentence to her post that clearly mentions the band’s fixed arrival time and warns people about the most likely weather, so they can prepare. Analyze Ana’s situation in the text. Identify the sentence that best fits her update by using future forms for an arrangement and a prediction.

1. A) The band is arriving at 5:00, and it’s going to rain later, so bring a jacket.
2. B) The band will arrive at 5:00, and it will rain later, so bring a jacket.
3. C) The band will arrive at 5:00, and it’s going to rain later, so bring a jacket.
4. D) The band is going to arrive at 5:00, and it will rain later, so bring a jacket.
5. E) The band arrives at 5:00, and it’s raining later, so bring a jacket.

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa A

Resolução passo a passo

1. Identifique as duas ideias que a frase precisa expressar. A primeira é a chegada da banda às 5:00, que já está combinada e confirmada ("Van confirmed. See you at 5:00 p.m."). Para um compromisso fixo e já organizado, o inglês usa o presente contínuo com valor de futuro: "The band is arriving at 5:00". A segunda ideia é a previsão de chuva, baseada em evidências visíveis agora (nuvens escuras, vento forte, bandeiras se movendo e o ícone de chuva no aplicativo). Para previsões apoiadas em sinais presentes, usa-se "going to": "it's going to rain later". Passo 2: Verifique se a alternativa A combina as duas formas corretamente. Ela traz "is arriving" para o compromisso e "it's going to rain" para a previsão baseada em evidências, além de "bring a jacket" como aviso prático. Passo 3: Compare com o gabarito oficial, que é A. Concordo com ele, e a análise acima confirma a escolha. Passo 4: Explique por que as outras estão erradas. B usa "will arrive" para um compromisso já marcado, o que soa como decisão espontânea e não como arranjo fixo. C inverte o uso: "will arrive" para o compromisso e "going to rain" para a previsão. D usa "is going to arrive", que é possível, mas a previsão com "will rain" ignora a evidência visível que pede "going to". E usa "arrives" no presente simples, reservado a horários de tabela, e "is raining later", que descreve a chuva acontecendo agora e não no futuro.

💡 Dica: Identifique a forma correta do futuro para planos e previsões no contexto dado.
