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.” According to the text, (Mackenzie 2017)

1. A) Chuck’s CDs were sent into space and were a huge success there.

4. D) The Rolling Stones heard that Chuck Berry was not only a brilliant guitarist but also a great craftsman.
5. E) Chuck’s song structures were as simple as they seemed to be.

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa B

Resolução passo a passo

1. Leia o texto com atenção. O enunciado pede o que é dito de acordo com o texto, então a resposta deve ser uma informação presente ou claramente sugerida pelo texto. Passo 2: O trecho chave é o que diz que Berry pegou lanchonetes de hambúrguer abertas a noite toda, homens de olhos castanhos e Fords V-8 e os transformou em poesia americana. Isso indica que ele conseguia transformar assuntos muito variados em música, o que corresponde à alternativa B. Passo 3: A alternativa A está errada porque o texto fala de discos de fonógrafo (phonograph records) enviados nas sondas Voyager, não de CDs, e não diz que tiveram sucesso no espaço. Passo 4: A alternativa C está errada porque o texto diz que a sonda Voyager levou 'Johnny B. Goode' em 1977, mas não diz que o riff foi tocado pela primeira vez nesse ano; além disso, 'Maybellene' é uma música citada na lista de clássicos, sem data de primeira execução. Passo 5: A alternativa D está errada no detalhe, pois os Rolling Stones não 'ouviram' que Berry era mestre artesão; eles publicaram uma declaração, e nela afirmam que, acima de tudo, ele era um mestre artesão como compositor, o que inverte a ênfase da frase. Passo 6: A alternativa E está errada porque o texto diz que as músicas são 'deceptivamente simples' (enganosamente simples), ou seja, parecem simples, mas não são tão simples quanto aparentam. Passo 7: Conclusão: a alternativa B é a melhor resposta, e coincide com o gabarito oficial. Observação: a alternativa B usa a expressão 'quase qualquer assunto', uma generalização a partir de exemplos específicos do texto, mas é a leitura mais fiel do trecho entre as cinco opções.

💡 Dica: Leia atentamente o texto para responder as perguntas.
