From space, astronaut sounds the alarm about climate crisis

The Associated Press

A French astronaut has used a video call from space to sound the alarm about worsening repercussions from climate change that he can see ______ the International Space Station.

Entire regions of Earth in flames. Storms trailing destruction in their wake. And the haunting fragility of humanity’s only home floating like a blue — but also tarnished — pearl in the vastness of space.

Through the portholes ______ the International Space Station, French astronaut Thomas Pesquet has an arresting view of global warming’s repercussions. He used a video call from space to sound the alarm Thursday, as negotiators, government officials and activists continued meeting at a U.N. climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland.

“We see the pollution of rivers, atmospheric pollution, things like that.”

“We saw entire regions burning from the space station, ______ Canada, in California,” he said. “We saw all of California covered ______ a cloud of smoke and flames with the naked eye from 400 kilometers (250 miles) up.”

Resolução comentada

Plural irregular é aquele que não se forma simplesmente acrescentando -s ou -es ao singular. Vamos testar cada palavra do texto:

  1. change → changes: regular, só acrescenta -s.
  2. climate → climates: regular.
  3. crisis → crises: irregular. É um termo de origem grega, em que -is vira -es (pronuncia-se /ˈkraɪsiːz/). O mesmo ocorre com analysis → analyses e thesis → theses.
  4. pearl → pearls: regular.

Só crisis tem plural irregular, e ela aparece no título do texto (climate crisis).

Alternativa C.

Por que as outras alternativas estão erradas

  • Achange forma o plural de modo regular, changes.
  • Bclimate forma o plural de modo regular, climates.
  • Dpearl forma o plural de modo regular, pearls.
