Assinale a alternativa que completa corretamente a lacuna do texto.

  1. A) are
  2. B) am
  3. C) be
  4. D) being
  5. E) is
Ver gabarito comentado

Resposta correta: E

O sujeito "São Paulo" é singular e equivale a "it", por isso o verbo to be no presente deve ser "is". "Are" acompanha sujeitos no plural, como "the buildings" mais adiante no texto, e "am" só combina com "I". "Be" e "being" são formas não conjugadas e não podem funcionar sozinhas como verbo de uma frase afirmativa.
