Questão

Alexis, 7 years old and in first grade, always got home from school around 2:05 p.m. When she hadn’t arrived by 2:55 on a Friday in May 2002, her mother, Ayanna Patterson, began to worry. At 3, Patterson ran to the school in a panic. “That’s when I found out that my baby never made it,” Patterson told USA TODAY. “She never made it to school.” The story of Alexis’ disappearance started with a massive search for the little girl and sympathy for her family, but that quickly changed as her parents became suspects. Over the years, there have been conspiracy theories and false leads and cases of mistaken identity. Still, her mom has never given up hope that Alexis will come home again someday. In Season 4 of Unsolved, we work to get to the bottom of what really happened to Alexis, what efforts were made to find [...] why so many missing Black kids in America are never found. Available in: https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/investigations/2023/04/18/unsolved-season. According to the text, it is correct to say that Alexis: (UFPR 2024)

1. A) disappeared on her way home.
2. B) was found after a long-year search.
3. C) is waiting for her mother to pick her up at school.
4. D) is a missing American Black girl.

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa D

Resolução passo a passo

1. Leia o texto com atenção. Alexis é uma menina de 7 anos que estava no primeiro ano. Sua mãe dá o depoimento de que a filha nunca chegou à escola e, até o momento do texto, não há notícia de que ela tenha sido encontrada. Passo 2: A ideia central é que Alexis está desaparecida há anos, sem que a família tenha perdido a esperança de vê-la voltar. Passo 3: Ao comparar com as alternativas, a D afirma que ela é uma menina negra americana desaparecida. O texto fala de Alexis como caso de desaparecimento nos Estados Unidos e a inclui no grupo de crianças negras americanas desaparecidas que nunca são encontradas, o que torna a afirmação correta. Passo 4: A alternativa A está errada porque o texto diz que ela nunca chegou à escola, então o desaparecimento ocorreu no trajeto para a escola, e não no caminho de volta para casa. Passo 5: A alternativa B está errada porque Alexis nunca foi encontrada, e a busca não terminou com seu reencontro. Passo 6: A alternativa C está errada porque Alexis não está esperando ser buscada na escola; ela é a criança que desapareceu e não foi localizada. Conclusão: a resposta correta é a D, que coincide com o gabarito oficial.

💡 Dica: Leia atentamente o texto para compreender os fatos sobre Alexis.
