  5. E) shelf
Ver gabarito comentado

Resposta correta: D

Substantivos terminados em -f, como shelf, leaf e wolf, trocam essa letra por -ves no plural: shelf vira "shelves". Por isso "shelfs" e "shelfes" não existem em inglês. O singular "shelf" também não serve, porque o adjetivo "long" e a ideia de milhares de livros exigem o plural, e "shelve" é a forma de um verbo, não um substantivo plural.
