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 The author thinks that always being on social media may reduce the holiness of intimate experiences and she exemplifies that by describing her attitude (UECE 2020)

Resolução passo a passo

1. Identifique o que a questão pede. A pergunta quer a situação que a autora usa como exemplo de como o uso constante de redes sociais diminui a santidade das experiências íntimas.
2. Localize a passagem certa do texto. A autora conta que, ao morrer seu avô Charles Shaw, em vez de dedicar tempo para lamentar em particular ao lado de quem mais o amava, ela postou rapidamente um longo tributo para os seguidores no Twitter.
3. Relacione o exemplo ao argumento. Essa atitude mostra exatamente o problema apontado: o impulso de tornar uma experiência íntima pública, em vez de vivê-la com privacidade e profundidade.
4. Analise as alternativas erradas. A alternativa A (nascimento do filho) não aparece no texto como exemplo do argumento. A alternativa C (casamento da melhor amiga) também não é mencionada. A alternativa D (aniversário da avó) não aparece no texto e troca o avô pela avó.
5. Conclusão. A alternativa correta é a B, que coincide com o gabarito oficial.
