Questão

Why did everyone suddenly look up at the speakers near the ceiling? Júlia was at a ferry terminal and heard an announcement in English. She did not understand every word, but she already knew some travel words like “ticket”, “gate” and “boarding”. This is what she caught: “Attention, passengers for the Island Ferry. The four fifteen departure is delayed by about twenty minutes because of strong wind. Please keep your ticket and move to Gate three. Boarding will begin as soon as the captain gives clearance. Thank you for your patience.” After listening, Júlia wants to do the right thing without asking anyone. Analyze the announcement and conclude what passengers should do next.

1. A) Go to Gate 2, because the ferry will depart earlier than planned.
2. B) Go to the ticket desk, because the 4:15 ferry was canceled.
3. C) Go to Gate 3, give your ticket back, and leave the terminal.
4. D) Go to Gate 1, because boarding has already started.
5. E) Go to Gate 3, keep your ticket, and wait for boarding.

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa E

Resolução passo a passo

1. O anúncio diz que a partida das 4h15 está atrasada em cerca de vinte minutos por causa do vento forte, e não cancelada nem antecipada.
2. As instruções para os passageiros são: manter o bilhete ("keep your ticket"), ir para o Gate 3 ("move to Gate three") e aguardar o embarque, que só começa quando o capitão liberar ("Boarding will begin as soon as the captain gives clearance").
3. Portanto, a alternativa correta é a E: ir ao Gate 3, guardar o bilhete e esperar o embarque.
4. A alternativa A está errada porque o anúncio fala de atraso, não de partida antecipada, e o portão indicado é o 3, não o 2.
5. A alternativa B está errada porque não há cancelamento da balsa; o anúncio apenas informa atraso.
6. A alternativa C está errada porque o passageiro deve manter o bilhete, não devolvê-lo, e não deve deixar o terminal.
7. A alternativa D está errada porque o embarque ainda não começou; ele só começará quando o capitão der a liberação, e o portão indicado é o 3, não o 1.
8. Concluindo, o gabarito oficial E está correto e coincide com a resolução feita de forma independente.

💡 Dica: Preste atenção às instruções do anúncio para entender o que os passageiros devem fazer.
