Football: preposição dependente em registro formal (C1)

Football's peculiar power is that it organises loyalty around something with no obvious content. A club is not a set of players, who change every few seasons; nor a stadium, which can be demolished; nor a set of colours, which can be sold. It is a continuity that supporters agree to recognise, and that agreement has proved remarkably resistant to the commercial forces reshaping everything around it. Ownership has moved offshore, kick-off times follow broadcast markets in other hemispheres, and ticket prices have quietly excluded the neighbourhoods that built the tradition. Sociologists observe that the conditions most conducive ___ this kind of collective identity are precisely those the modern game is dismantling: proximity, repetition, and a shared sense that the institution belongs to nobody in particular. Supporter trusts and fan ownership models are an attempt to write that intuition into company law. Whether sentiment can survive being formalised is a question the game has not yet had to answer.

  1. A) for

  5. E) in
Ver gabarito comentado

Resposta correta: D

O adjetivo "conducive" pertence ao grupo de adjetivos de registro formal que regem obrigatoriamente a preposição "to", como em "conducive to growth". Trata-se de uma regência fixa, não deduzível pelo sentido, e nenhuma das outras preposições é registrada com esse adjetivo. "For" e "of" seriam esperados com adjetivos de outra classe, como "responsible for" ou "typical of", mas não aqui. "With" e "in" produzem combinações inexistentes e tornariam o sintagma agramatical, ainda que o sentido geral do período permanecesse recuperável pelo contexto.
