Questão

that the company had deleted some of them without telling them. Last year, customers of Funimation, an anime streaming service that was acquired by another company, discovered that the titles they had purchased from Funimation would not be ported over to the new platform. Video game and music fans have reported similar frustrations. If online chatter is any indication, a class-action lawsuit against Prime would have some takers. Reacting to the news of the suit, someone on Reddit described buying the director’s cut of Aliens from Prime; after watching it for 10 years, “I went to my purchased movies in the Amazon app and it is now gone. No explanation and no recourse.” “Happened to me,” another person wrote. “Bought the original Battlestar Galactica series. Now it’s gone.” (Amazon did not respond to my request for comment at the time of publication.) Disappointment with streaming’s limitations are a major reason that many pop culture fans have, in recent years, returned to a format long thought dying: physical media. Like vinyl records, which have had an unexpected renaissance, film discs and other seemingly old-school technologies have been embraced in recent years by a small but passionate segment of film and TV buffs. Earlier this year, the first new physical video store in many years opened in New York. In particular, movie fans have rediscovered Blu-rays, which debuted in 2006 as a higher-definition successor to DVDs, as well as their new and even higher-definition sibling, the 4K UHD, which has become the gold-standard for “home cinema” enthusiasts. I’m one of those physical-media fans. I have about 400 movies on disc, mostly Blu-rays, hidden in a cabinet beneath my TV. In the age of streaming, some of my friends think I’m deranged. But the films look great, don’t need the internet to watch and – most importantly – never disappear. From: https://www.theguardian.com/2025/aug/27/ According to the author, because of constraints related to streamings as reported in the text, what seemed to be an improbable thing is happening now: the revival of physical media. Mentioned as an example is the opening of (UECE 2026)

1. A) video stores in London and New York.
2. B) fancy video stores in London lately.
3. C) a new video store in New York this year.
4. D) vinyl record stores all over New York.

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa C

Resolução passo a passo

1. O texto afirma que, diante das limitações do streaming (como perder filmes comprados sem explicação), fãs voltaram a um formato que se pensava morto: a mídia física. Essa é a 'coisa improvável' que está acontecendo agora.
2. Como exemplo dessa retomada, o autor cita: 'Earlier this year, the first new physical video store in many years opened in New York.' Logo, o exemplo é a abertura de uma nova loja de vídeo física em Nova York neste ano.
3. Analisando as alternativas: a alternativa C traz exatamente isso (uma nova loja de vídeo em Nova York este ano), por isso está correta e coincide com o gabarito.
4. A alternativa A está errada porque menciona lojas em Londres, cidade que o texto não cita como exemplo, e fala em 'video stores' no plural, quando o texto fala de uma única loja nova. A alternativa B está errada porque fala de lojas 'fancy' em Londres, algo que não aparece no texto. A alternativa D está errada porque menciona lojas de discos de vinil, enquanto o texto cita a renascença do vinil apenas como comparação, não como exemplo do que foi aberto.

💡 Dica: Leia o texto atentamente para identificar o motivo da volta da mídia física.
