Questão

As sunset approaches, volunteers are preparing a neighborhood night market. A student will record short audio clips for visitors. The sound designer asks for one clip with three regular past verbs ending in the /t/ sound, so the words can follow the same beat. In the notes, the student reads that -ed is usually pronounced /t/ after a voiceless sound, /d/ after a voiced sound, and /id/ after verbs ending in /t/ or /d/. The recording must describe real tasks completed before the market opens, such as organizing materials, helping guests, and preparing the space. Create the requested audio line by selecting the sentence in which all three regular past verbs end with the /t/ sound.

1. A) The volunteer cleaned cups, packed boxes, and watched lanterns.
2. B) The volunteer wanted signs, carried bags, and filled bottles.
3. C) The volunteer called guests, opened gates, and played music.
4. D) The volunteer visited booths, needed help, and waited outside.
5. E) The volunteer washed cups, packed boxes, and watched lanterns.

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa E

Resolução passo a passo

1. Para cada verbo regular no passado, observe o último som antes do -ed. O -ed soa /t/ após som surdo (p, k, f, s, sh, ch), /d/ após som sonoro (vogais e consoantes como n, l, m, v, b, g, z) e /id/ após t ou d. Passo 2: Analise a alternativa E: washed termina em sh (som surdo), logo /t/; packed termina em k (surdo), logo /t/; watched termina em ch (surdo), logo /t/. Todos os três verbos terminam em /t/, então E é a alternativa correta e coincide com o gabarito oficial. Passo 3: Na alternativa A, cleaned termina em n (sonoro) e soa /d/, por isso ela falha, embora packed e watched estejam certos. Passo 4: Na alternativa B, wanted soa /id/, carried soa /d/ (após vogal sonora) e filled soa /d/ (após l sonoro); nenhum termina em /t/. Passo 5: Na alternativa C, called, opened e played terminam em som sonoro (l, n e vogal com d), todos soando /d/. Passo 6: Na alternativa D, visited, needed e waited terminam em t ou d, portanto soam /id/, e não /t/. Passo 7: Conclusão: apenas a sentença E atende ao pedido de três verbos regulares terminados no som /t/, cumprindo o roteiro do áudio sobre tarefas reais antes da abertura do mercado.

💡 Dica: Identifique a pronúncia do sufixo -ed conforme o som final do verbo.
