Fuvest 1977: o que significa “a teacher's range”

"Television has often been an object of despise and mistrust, and has been considered guilty of preventing children from doing their homework. However, educational TV can help to extend a gifted teacher's range beyond a single classroom."

"a teacher's range" significa:

  1. A) the extent of his influence;
  2. B) his position in society;
  3. C) his professional life;
  4. D) his impression of his students;
  5. E) his devotion to his work.

Resposta correta: A

O próprio contexto define a palavra: “extend a gifted teacher's range beyond a single classroom” opõe uma sala só a muitas salas, ou seja, fala de até onde o professor chega. Por isso a resposta é A, “the extent of his influence”. B (“posição na sociedade”) e C (“vida profissional”) são tentadoras porque também falam do professor, mas nenhuma das duas é algo que se estenda “beyond a single classroom”; o texto não trata de status nem de carreira. E confunde alcance com empenho: “range” mede quanto ele atinge, não quanto ele se dedica. A Fuvest não publicou o gabarito desta prova; esta resposta é a leitura do nosso time, não a oficial.
