Questão

At 10:00, the librarians were arranging the exhibits. The curator was not writing the labels then; she was checking the room. Later, she wrote the labels. According to the record, choose the alternative that correctly asks about the action in progress and reports the curator's negative action with an affirmative answer.

1. A) Were the librarians arranging the exhibits while the curator was not writing the labels? Yes, they were.
2. B) Did the librarians arrange the exhibits while the curator was not writing the labels? Yes, they did.
3. C) Were the librarians arranging the exhibits while the curator did not write the labels? Yes, they were.
4. D) Were the librarians arranging the exhibits while the curator was not writing the labels? No, they were not.
5. E) Were the librarians arranging the exhibits while the curator was writing the labels? Yes, they were.

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa A

Resolução passo a passo

1. Identifique a ação em andamento. O registro diz que às 10:00 os bibliotecários estavam arrumando as exposições, então a pergunta deve usar o passado contínuo (were arranging). Passo 2: Identifique a ação negativa da curadora. O registro diz que ela não estava escrevendo as etiquetas naquele momento, ou seja, was not writing, também no passado contínuo. Passo 3: Verifique a resposta. Como os bibliotecários de fato estavam arrumando as exposições enquanto a curadora não escrevia as etiquetas, a resposta afirmativa é Yes, they were. Passo 4: Compare com as alternativas. A alternativa A reúne tudo isso: were arranging, was not writing e Yes, they were. Por que as outras estão erradas: B usa did arrange (passado simples), que indica ação concluída e não ação em andamento; C usa did not write (passado simples) para a ação da curadora, quando o registro pede o passado contínuo; D dá a resposta No, they were not, que contradiz o registro; E afirma que a curadora estava escrevendo as etiquetas, o que o registro nega. Conclusão: o gabarito A está correto e coincide com a minha resolução.
