Respostas
Explicação:
Observe o exemplo da manchete: Minister Norman Baker wants end to UK animal tests
O verbo da frase é o verbo “to want” (querer) e está conjugado na terceira pessoa do singular (he/she/it) do Simple Present.
Para formar as flexões de terceira pessoa do singular (he/she/it) no Simple Present, temos como regra geral o acréscimo de –s na forma infinitiva do verbo, sem o “to”. (Exemplo: to want >wants).
Dependendo da terminação do verbo, pode ser necessário acrescentar ou retirar mais letras. (Exemplo: to party > parties).
Para todas as outras pessoas (I, you, we e they), a flexão no Simple Present corresponde ao verbo no infinitivo sem o “to”. (Exemplos: to want > want; to party > party.)
Tendo em conta o enunciado do exercício (seguir a regra gramatical de conjugação de verbos, de acordo com o exemplo da manchete), devemos preencher a lacuna optando por um verbo também no Simple Present, conjugado na terceira pessoa através do acréscimo do “-s”.
Assim sendo, a alternativa correta é a letra d) pursues.
“Pursues” é a flexão de terceira pessoa do singular (he/she/it) do verbo “to pursue”.
She pursues her dignity at any price = Ela mantém a dignidade dela a qualquer preço.
