The following text refers to questions 12 and 13. Chuck Berry, rock ‘n’ roll pioneer, dead at 90 By Ralph Ellis, Todd Leopold and Tony Marco, CNN Updated 0212 GMT (1012 HKT) March 19, 2017 (CNN) Chuck Berry, a music pioneer often called “the Father of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” died Saturday at his home outside St. Louis, his verified Facebook page said. He was 90. A post on the St. Charles County police Facebook page said officers responded to a medical emergency at the residence around 12:40 p.m. (1:40 p.m. ET) Saturday and found an unresponsive man inside. Resuscitation efforts failed. “The St. Charles County Police Department sadly confirms the death of Charles Edward Anderson Berry Sr., better known as legendary musician Chuck Berry.” A musical legend Berry wrote and recorded “Johnny B. Goode” and “Sweet Little Sixteen” -- songs every garage band and fledgling guitarist had to learn if they wanted to enter the rock ‘n’ roll fellowship. Berry took all-night hamburger stands, brown-eyed handsome men and V-8 Fords and turned them into the stuff of American poetry. By doing so, he gave rise to followers beyond number, bar-band disciples of the electric guitar, who carried his musical message to the far corners of the Earth. Some of his most famous followers praised him on social media. Bruce Springsteen tweeted: “Chuck Berry was rock’s greatest practitioner, guitarist, and the greatest pure rock ‘n’ roll writer who ever lived.” Chuck Berry was rock’s greatest practitioner, guitarist, and the greatest pure rock ‘n’ roll writer who ever lived. The Rolling Stones posted on their website: “The Rolling Stones are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Chuck Berry. He was a true pioneer of rock ‘n’ roll and a massive influence on us. Chuck was not only a brilliant guitarist, singer and performer, but most importantly, he was a master craftsman as a songwriter. His songs will live forever.” But it was perhaps John Lennon -- who died in 1980 -- who put it most succinctly. “If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it ‘Chuck Berry.’” The list of Berry’s classics is as well-known as his distinctive, chiming “Chuck Berry riff”: “Maybellene.” “Around and Around.” “Brown-Eyed Handsome Man.” “School Days.” “Memphis.” “Nadine.” “No Particular Place to Go.” They were deceptively simple tunes, many constructed with simple chord progressions and classic verse-chorus-verse formats, but their hearts could be as big as teenage hopes on a Saturday night. His music even went into outer space. When the two Voyager spacecrafts were launched in 1977, each was accompanied on its journey to the outer reaches of the solar system by a phonograph record that contained sounds of Earth -- including “Johnny B. Goode.” The alternative which lists only words used as adjectives in the text is (Mackenzie 2017)

1. A) well-known, simple, phonograph, pure.
2. B) chord, massive, launched, unresponsive.
3. C) big, succinctly, saddened, handsome.
4. D) brown-eyed, perhaps, master, system.
5. E) followers, medical, Saturday, solar.

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa A

Resolução passo a passo

1. A pergunta pede a alternativa em que todas as palavras aparecem no texto como adjetivos. Adjetivo é a palavra que qualifica um substantivo (ex.: simple tunes, pure rock, unresponsive man). Advérbio modifica verbo, adjetivo ou outro advérbio (ex.: succinctly, perhaps). Particípio verbal usado como verbo na voz passiva (were launched) não é adjetivo. Substantivo nomeia seres, coisas ou ideias (followers, system).
2. Analisando a alternativa A: well-known aparece em 'as well-known as his distinctive' e qualifica a lista de clássicos; simple aparece em 'deceptively simple tunes', qualificando as músicas; pure aparece em 'pure rock n roll writer', qualificando o compositor; phonograph aparece em 'phonograph record', onde funciona como modificador do substantivo record, sendo o único caso em que a palavra precede outro substantivo como qualificador. Portanto, todas as palavras da alternativa A funcionam como adjetivos ou modificadores adjetivais no texto. Esta é a alternativa correta.
3. Alternativa B: chord aparece em 'chord progressions' como modificador de substantivo, mas massive ('a massive influence') e unresponsive ('an unresponsive man') são adjetivos; launched é verbo no passado em 'were launched'. Por isso a alternativa não serve, pois contém um verbo.
4. Alternativa C: succinctly é advérbio, pois aparece em 'put it most succinctly' e modifica o verbo put; por isso a alternativa é descartada, mesmo que big, saddened e handsome sejam adjetivos.
5. Alternativa D: perhaps é advérbio em 'perhaps the one who put it most succinctly'; master é modificador de craftsman; system aparece em 'solar system' como substantivo. A presença de advérbio e substantivo invalida a alternativa.
6. Alternativa E: followers é substantivo (quem segue, seguidores), e Saturday é substantivo, embora funcione como modificador em 'Saturday night'. Medical e solar são adjetivos, mas a presença de followers, que é substantivo, invalida a alternativa.
7. Conclusão: somente a alternativa A contém palavras que, no texto, funcionam como adjetivos, por isso a resposta é a letra A.

💡 Dica: Leia atentamente o texto para identificar palavras usadas como adjetivos.
