Why do old phones often remain in drawers when a small repair could make them useful again? At the Riverside Youth Center, a group of teenagers noticed that many neighbors threw away devices with broken screens or weak batteries. They invited a local technician to teach basic repair skills during a Saturday workshop. First, visitors learned how to check a charger and clean a phone port safely. Then, the teenagers helped them compare the cost of a small repair with the cost of a new device. Some visitors decided to fix their phones; others donated unused chargers to the center. By the end of the day, the group had collected ideas for another workshop. They wanted people to see that keeping a device longer can be a practical choice. Analyze how the three paragraphs develop one idea. Identify the paragraph that could be added to create a coherent ending for the text.

1. A) The next workshop could reach more neighbors by sharing repair skills and inviting them to bring devices for longer use.
2. B) The next workshop could tell the complete history of mobile phones before any visitor examines a device.
3. C) The next workshop could encourage everyone to replace repaired phones with newer models as soon as possible.
4. D) The next workshop could limit attendance to people who already know how to repair devices.
5. E) The next workshop could ask volunteers to discuss their favorite games instead of helping visitors with repairs.

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa A

Resolução passo a passo

1. O texto desenvolve uma única ideia: manter aparelhos em uso por mais tempo, por meio de pequenos reparos, é uma escolha prática. O primeiro parágrafo apresenta o problema (aparelhos com defeitos simples são descartados). O segundo mostra a ação concreta (oficina com ensino de reparos e comparação de custos). O terceiro conclui que o grupo quer que as pessoas percebam que manter o aparelho por mais tempo é uma escolha prática.
2. Um final coerente deve continuar essa linha, ou seja, falar de alcançar mais vizinhos, compartilhar habilidades de reparo e incentivar o uso prolongado dos aparelhos. A alternativa A faz exatamente isso, retomando a oficina e o objetivo de manter os dispositivos em uso.
3. As outras alternativas estão erradas. B desvia o foco para a história dos celulares, sem relação com o reparo e o uso prolongado. C contradiz a ideia do texto, pois incentiva trocar os aparelhos por modelos novos em vez de consertá-los. D restringe a oficina a quem já sabe consertar, o que vai contra o objetivo de ensinar e atingir a comunidade. E troca o tema dos reparos por jogos, rompendo totalmente a coerência com o texto.
4. Conclusão: a resposta correta é a alternativa A, que concorda com o gabarito oficial.

💡 Dica: Identifique a ideia central e a função de cada parágrafo no texto.
