Dentre as notícias da página, somente I. duas são de interesse para a área médica. II. duas estão relacionadas à área de transporte. III. uma trata de projetos sociais. Está(ão) correta(s)

  1. A) apenas a I.
  2. B) apenas a II.
  3. C) apenas a III.
  4. D) apenas I e III.
  5. E) todas.
Ver gabarito comentado

Resposta correta: D

A questão se resolve contando chamada por chamada. Há de fato duas de interesse médico (afirmação I): a das células mutantes, que “could help scientists understand how precancerous mutations arise”, e a do MIT Portugal, cuja biotecnologia vai “help treat patients with medical complications from abnormal protein breakdown”. A afirmação III também se confirma na primeira chamada, sobre a oficina de verão cujos projetos foram desenhados “to help improve the lives of millions of people living in the world’s developing countries” — debulhar milhete com roda de bicicleta e fazer tijolos de terra são projetos sociais. O que derruba as alternativas C e E é a afirmação II: transporte aparece em uma única chamada, a que fala em reduzir “the fuel consumption of new vehicles”. Quem marcou E costuma contar “Protection built to scale” como área médica, mas ela trata de armadura corporal para soldados, não de saúde. Correta, portanto, a letra D.
