Questão

“Could a visitor misunderstand this alert?” asks Lina, a volunteer on HarborLink, a neighborhood app used by residents and tourists. Her first post reads: “?? 2nite: high tide and strong winds. Pls move bikes from Zone B b4 8. DM @HarborHelp 4 support. #StaySafe” The app can automatically translate complete words, but it does not expand shortened forms. During a test, one visitor asks whether “2nite” means now or later, while another thinks that “DM” means writing in the shared feed. Lina needs a new post that remains brief but gives the same instructions to people who may not know these digital forms. Analyze the digital expressions and the users’ reactions. Select the revised post that best keeps the original instructions while reducing possible misunderstandings.

1. A) Tonight: high tide and strong winds. Ask @HarborHelp to move bicycles from Zone B before 8 p.m. Send a private message.
2. B) Tonight: high tide and strong winds. Move bicycles to Zone B before 8 p.m. Send a private message to @HarborHelp.
3. C) Tonight: high tide and strong winds. Move bicycles from Zone B at 8 p.m. Post a message to @HarborHelp for support.
4. D) Tonight: high tide and strong winds. Move bicycles from Zone B before 8 p.m. Tag @HarborHelp in a public post for support.
5. E) Tonight: high tide and strong winds. Move bicycles from Zone B before 8 p.m. Send a private message to @HarborHelp for support.

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa E

Resolução passo a passo

1. Identifique as expressões digitais do post original. '2nite' significa 'tonight' (esta noite), não 'now' nem 'later'. 'b4' significa 'before' (antes de), 'Pls' significa 'please' (por favor), '4' significa 'for' (para) e 'DM' significa 'direct message', ou seja, mensagem privada, e não post no feed compartilhado.
2. Liste as instruções que devem ser mantidas: (a) esta noite há maré alta e ventos fortes; (b) os moradores devem retirar as bicicletas da Zona B antes das 8; (c) para apoio, deve-se enviar mensagem privada ao @HarborHelp.
3. Compare as alternativas com essas instruções. A alternativa E mantém tudo: 'Tonight' substitui '2nite', 'before 8 p.m.' substitui 'b4 8', 'Move bicycles from Zone B' preserva a direção correta da ação e 'Send a private message to @HarborHelp for support' substitui 'DM @HarborHelp 4 support' sem ambiguidade.
4. Por que as outras estão erradas. A: inverte quem age, pedindo ao @HarborHelp que mova as bicicletas, em vez dos moradores. B: troca 'from' por 'to', o que indica levar as bicicletas para a Zona B, e omite a finalidade de apoio. C: troca 'before 8' por 'at 8 p.m.', alterando o prazo, e sugere post público, quando a instrução original é mensagem privada. D: sugere marcar o @HarborHelp em post público, o que contradiz a orientação de mensagem privada e reproduz a confusão sobre o uso do feed compartilhado.
5. Conclusão. A alternativa E é a única que reduz as ambiguidades sem alterar as instruções originais, por isso é a resposta correta, coincidindo com o gabarito oficial.

💡 Dica: Analise o significado das expressões digitais e escolha a versão mais clara e breve.
