Pets: pronome relativo em oração explicativa (B1)

Living with an animal changes daily routines. Studies in several countries suggest that people who have a pet visit the doctor less often and feel less lonely, especially after retirement. Dogs, ___ were domesticated more than fifteen thousand years ago, read human faces surprisingly well and react to our voices. Cats came later and kept more independence. Of course, a pet is also a responsibility: vaccines, food and veterinary visits cost money every month. Anyone who cannot guarantee that care should probably wait, because an abandoned animal pays a very high price.

Assinale a alternativa que completa corretamente a lacuna do texto.

  1. A) that
  2. B) who
  3. C) what
  4. D) whose
  5. E) which
Ver gabarito comentado

Resposta correta: E

A oração está entre vírgulas, ou seja, é explicativa (non-defining), e nesse tipo de oração o pronome relativo para animais e coisas é obrigatoriamente "which". "That" jamais pode ser usado em orações relativas explicativas separadas por vírgulas. "Who" se refere a pessoas, "what" não funciona como pronome relativo depois de um substantivo e "whose" indicaria posse, exigindo um substantivo logo em seguida.
