Questão

Volunteers are preparing a pop-up reading corner at a neighborhood health center. The coordinator has received 48 children's books and enough drinking water for the afternoon. However, several shelves must be moved before visitors arrive. Each volunteer will carry boxes, and the coordinator needs to know the number of boxes each person can move and the time each person can remain. To avoid waste, the final notice should ask for help with moving, state that extra water is unnecessary, and collect those two pieces of information in clear English. Four versions of the notice were proposed. Evaluate the proposed notices using the situation in the text. Which version uses the quantifiers accurately and communicates the coordinator's needs?

1. A) We need some volunteers to move shelves. We do not need any more water. How many boxes can you carry? How much time can you stay?
2. B) We need any volunteers to move shelves. We do not need any more water. How many boxes can you carry? How much time can you stay?
3. C) We need much volunteers to move shelves. We do not need any more water. How many boxes can you carry? How much time can you stay?
4. D) We need some volunteers to move shelves. We do not need any more water. How many boxes can you carry? How many time can you stay?
5. E) We need some volunteers to move shelves. We do not need any more water. How much boxes can you carry? How much time can you stay?

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa A

Resolução passo a passo

1. Identifique o que o texto pede. O coordenador precisa de ajuda com a mudança das estantes (substantivo contável, volunteers), não quer mais água (water, incontável) e quer saber quantas caixas (boxes, contável) e quanto tempo (time, incontável) cada pessoa pode ficar. Passo 2: Analise o uso de some em 'We need some volunteers'. Some é usado em frases afirmativas com substantivos contáveis no plural, e indica uma quantidade não especificada de voluntários, o que é adequado. Passo 3: Analise 'We do not need any more water'. Any é o quantificador correto em frases negativas com substantivos incontáveis, como water, e a negação transmite que a água extra é desnecessária. Passo 4: Analise as perguntas. How many é usado com substantivos contáveis, então 'How many boxes can you carry?' está correto. How much é usado com substantivos incontáveis, e time aqui se refere ao tempo de permanência, então 'How much time can you stay?' está correto. Passo 5: Conclusão. A alternativa A é a única que usa todos os quantificadores corretamente e comunica as três necessidades do coordenador, e coincide com o gabarito. Por que as outras estão erradas: B usa any em frase afirmativa, o que soa incorreto; C usa much com volunteers, que é contável; D usa how many com time, que é incontável; E usa how much com boxes, que é contável.

💡 Dica: Analise o texto e compare as versões para identificar o uso correto dos quantificadores.
