Sport: particípios em orações reduzidas (B2)

___ that broadcasting income would rise indefinitely, several national federations signed spending commitments in the last decade that they are now unable to meet. Television money has not disappeared, but it has fragmented: audiences moved to streaming platforms, rights were sold in smaller packages, and the guaranteed sums written into budgets stopped arriving. The consequences fall unevenly. Elite competitions absorb the shock, while regional programmes, women's leagues and disability sport are cut first, because they generate the least revenue and have the fewest people defending them. Sports economists argue that governing bodies should be required to publish reserves in the same way as any other organisation handling public subsidy. Athletes, who have no say in these contracts and short careers in which to recover, carry most of the risk.

Assinale a alternativa que completa corretamente a lacuna do texto.

  1. A) Assuming
  2. B) Assumed
  3. C) To assume
  4. D) Assume
  5. E) To be assumed
Ver gabarito comentado

Resposta correta: A

A oração reduzida tem sentido ativo, pois quem supôs foram as federações, sujeito da oração principal; usa-se então o particípio presente terminado em -ing. "Assumed" e "To be assumed" trariam sentido passivo, o que exigiria que as federações fossem supostas por alguém, algo sem sentido aqui. "To assume" indicaria finalidade, como se as federações tivessem assinado contratos com o objetivo de supor algo. "Assume" é forma de imperativo ou de presente simples e não pode iniciar uma oração reduzida.
