As questões 75 a 78 referem-se ao texto a seguir. In recent years there have been suggestions that, instead of raising sheep, Australia should be raising kangaroos, which (unlike sheep) are native Australian species that are adapted to Australian plants and climates. It is claimed that the soft paws of kangaroos are less damaging to soil than are the hard hooves of sheep. Kangaroo meat is lean, healthy, and (in my opinion) absolutely delicious. In addition to their meat, kangaroos yield valuable hides1. All of those points are cited as arguments to support replacing sheep herding with kangaroo ranching. However, that proposal faces real obstacles, both biological and cultural ones. Unlike sheep, kangaroos are not herd animals that will docilely obey one shepherd and a dog, or that can be rounded up and marched obediently up ramps into trucks for shipment to the slaughterhouse. Instead, kangaroo ranchers have to hire hunters to chase down and shoot their kangaroos one by one. Further problems with kangaroos are their mobility and ability to jump fences: if you invest in promoting growth of a kangaroo population on your property, and if your kangaroos perceive some inducement to move (such as rain falling somewhere else), your valuable crop of kangaroos may end up 30 miles away on somebody else's property. Kangaroo meat is accepted in Germany and some is exported there, but the sale of kangaroo meat faces cultural obstacles elsewhere. For Australians, kangaroo meat has little appeal, and they continue to prefer their more traditional types of meat, especially lamb and beef. Many Australian animal welfare advocates oppose kangaroo harvesting, not taking into consideration the fact that living conditions and slaughter methods are much crueler for domestic sheep and cattle than for wild kangaroos. The U.S. explicitly forbids the importation of kangaroo meat because we find the beasts cute, and because a congressman's wife heard that kangaroos are endangered. Some kangaroo species are indeed endangered, but ironically the species actually harvested for meat are abundant pest animals in Australia. (DIAMOND, J.Collapse.New York: Penguin, 2005.

Olá! Bom vamos lá!


Temos um texto que nos conta resumidamente a história de Russel, o filosofo, que conseguiu escrever livros , trabalhou em Cambridge com matemática, e ainda conseguiu ganhar um premio Nobel, pois os livros que escreveu acabou deixando ele famoso, depois ainda temos sobre algumas outras atividades que ele fez e participou.

Sendo assim conseguimos deduzir que ele abandonou a carreira na universidade por conta da escrita, ou seja, temos como alternativa correta a letra C  " he wanted to have more time to write" , ou seja ele queria mas tempo para se dedicar a escrita.
