Questão

How do you warn hundreds of people about a small change without sounding rude or confusing? Leila volunteers for a neighborhood website that posts short public announcements in English. Today, the city office emailed her this information: the Route 7 bus will not stop at Pine Street starting next week because the street will be closed for roadworks. The works are expected to last two weeks, and the nearest alternative stop is Oak Avenue, about a five-minute walk from Pine Street. Leila writes this draft for the website: “Starting next week the Line 7 bus will not stop at Pine Street because of road works, so like, if you need Pine Street just get off at Oak Avenue and walk 5 minutes, ok? Sorry!!!” Her editor answers: “Keep the key details, cut slang, and use two short sentences for publication.” Based on the text, identify the rewritten version of Leila’s draft that best follows the editor’s guidance for a final published announcement.

1. A) Starting next week, Route 7 will skip Pine Street due to roadworks for two weeks. We apologize for any inconvenience.
2. B) Route 7 will skip Pine Street because of roadworks. Walk from Oak Avenue sometime next week to reach Pine Street.
3. C) Starting next week, Route 7 will stop at Pine Street during roadworks for two weeks. Use the Oak Avenue stop instead.
4. D) Starting next week, Route 7 will skip Pine Street for two weeks due to roadworks. Use the Oak Avenue stop; it is a 5-minute walk.
5. E) Next week Route 7 won’t stop at Pine Street ’cause of road works, so just get off at Oak Ave and walk 5 mins, ok? Sorry!!!

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa D

Resolução passo a passo

1. Identifiquei as informações essenciais do rascunho de Leila: a linha 7 não para na Pine Street a partir da próxima semana, por causa de obras na via, por cerca de duas semanas; a parada alternativa é a Oak Avenue, a uns cinco minutos a pé. Passo 2: O editor pediu três coisas: manter os dados-chave, eliminar gírias e usar duas frases curtas. Passo 3: A alternativa D atende a tudo. A primeira frase, 'Starting next week, Route 7 will skip Pine Street for two weeks due to roadworks', mantém o período, a linha, a parada suspensa, a duração e o motivo. A segunda, 'Use the Oak Avenue stop; it is a 5-minute walk', indica a alternativa e a distância, sem gírias. Passo 4: Por que as outras estão erradas: A omite a parada alternativa da Oak Avenue, que é a informação mais útil para o passageiro. B não informa a duração de duas semanas e diz 'walk from Oak Avenue sometime next week', o que confunde o prazo das obras com o trajeto a pé. C afirma que a linha vai parar na Pine Street, o oposto do que foi comunicado. E mantém gírias e pontuação informal, como 'ain't', 'ca' cause', 'mins', 'ok?' e 'Sorry!!!', contrariando a orientação do editor. Passo 5: Concordo com o gabarito oficial, D.

💡 Dica: Identifique as instruções do editor e escolha a versão que mantém detalhes e é clara.
