A girls' cricket team from a school in Chennai, India, reached the final of a regional tournament last weekend. Before the match, the team's coach spoke to local reporters. She said that the team was ready for the final. She told them that the players had trained every morning for two months. One reporter asked her if she was nervous. "Not at all," she answered. "I trust my players." The team won the final by 25 runs.
(Notícia fictícia)
Na notícia, o trecho "She said that the team was ready for the final" corresponde, no discurso direto, à seguinte fala da treinadora:
A"The team was ready for the final."
B"The team is ready for the final."✓ correta
C"The team will be ready for the final."
D"The team has been ready for the final."
E"The team were ready for the final yesterday."
Resposta correta: alternativa B
💡 Explicação
A alternativa B está correta: no discurso indireto, o presente da fala original (is) costuma recuar para o passado (was) depois de "said". Como a treinadora falou antes do jogo, ela disse "The team is ready". A alternativa A repete a forma do discurso indireto, sem desfazer o recuo do tempo verbal.Questão enviada por Equipe Canetinha ao banco público do Canetinha.
