The sanctity of our most intimate experiences is also diminished. My grandfather Charles Shaw — a notable musician whose wisdoms and jazz scene tales I often shared on Twitter — passed away last year. Rather than take adequate time to privately mourn the loss of his giant influence in my life alongside those who loved him most, I quickly posted a lengthy tribute to him to my followers. At the time I thought, “How will they remember him if I don’t acknowledge his passing?” Perhaps at the root of this anxiety over being forgotten is an urgent question of how one ought to form a legacy; with the rise of automation, a widening wealth gap and an unstable political climate, it is easy to feel unimportant. It is almost as if the world is too big and we are much too small to excel in it in any meaningful way. We feel we need as many people as possible to witness our lives, so as not to be left out of a story that is being written too fast by people much more significant than ourselves. “The secret of a full life is to live and relate to others as if they might not be there tomorrow, as if you might not be there tomorrow,” the writer Anais Nin said. “This feeling has become a rarity, and rarer every day now that we have reached a hastier and more superficial rhythm, now that we believe we are in touch with a greater amount of people. This is the illusion which might cheat us of being in touch deeply with the one breathing next to us.” I think of those words and at once any fear of obscurity is eclipsed by much deeper ones — the fear of forgoing the sacred moments of life, of never learning to be completely alone, of not bearing witness to the incredible lives of those who surround me. I observe the world around me. It is big and moving fast. “What’s happening?” I think to myself. I’m just beginning to find out. From:www.nytimes.com/Oct. 1, 2019 As to the reasons that lead people to being so much on social media, the author raises the hypothesis that it might be related to a world in which people tend to feel (UECE 2020)

1. A) depressed on a daily basis.
2. B) unimportant as social beings.
3. C) tired of the long working hours.
4. D) too politically involved.

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa B

Resolução passo a passo

1. A pergunta pede a hipótese do autor sobre por que as pessoas passam tanto tempo nas redes sociais, segundo o texto. Passo 2: No segundo parágrafo, o autor diz que a ansiedade de ser esquecido talvez tenha raiz em uma questão urgente sobre como formar um legado, e que, com a automação, a desigualdade de renda e a instabilidade política, é fácil sentir-se sem importância ("it is easy to feel unimportant"). Passo 3: Ele complementa dizendo que o mundo parece grande demais e que somos pequenos demais para nele nos destacarmos, o que leva a querer que o máximo de pessoas testemunhe nossas vidas. Passo 4: Logo, a alternativa correta é a B, "unimportant as social beings" (sem importância como seres sociais), que corresponde à sensação de insignificância descrita pelo autor. Passo 5: A alternativa A está errada porque depressão diária não é mencionada no texto. A alternativa C está errada porque as longas jornadas de trabalho não são citadas como fator. A alternativa D está errada porque o envolvimento político é apenas um fator de instabilidade mencionado de passagem, e não a sensação central do autor. Passo 6: O gabarito oficial B está correto.

💡 Dica: Leia atentamente o texto e identifique a hipótese do autor sobre o comportamento nas redes sociais.
