PRÁTICA COM QUESTÕES OFICIAIS
Questão 37 (1º exame) da FUVEST 2000
Texto-base das questões 34 a 40 · V
The Sydney Olympics – billed as the Green Games – open in exactly 64 weeks, on 15 September 2000. In bidding for the Games, the Sydney delegates promised that theirs would be the most environmentally-friendly Games ever. But there are growing doubts that Sydney will deliver on its promises, even though Australia holds a commanding lead in the race to develop key environmentally-friendly technologies.
The biggest single obstacle to the Green Games is the site itself. The land around Homebush Bay, in western Sydney, was an industrial graveyard previously used by chemical giants such as ICI and Union Carbide – infamous for the Bhopal plant leak on 3 December 1984 that poisoned thousands in India.
Their legacy was toxic waste in unmarked sites. The bodies associated with the bid knew about this, and saw the Games as a way to clean up the mess and create a new community. Thus Sydney’s bid document featured a glorious artist’s impression of a ceremonial entrance on the waterfront, where, beneath fluttering bunting, Olympic athletes and grandees arrive from downtown on eco-friendly water taxis. It was, says Murray Hogarth, environmental correspondent of the Sydney Morning Herald, “an absolutely key facet of the bid”.

Resolução comentada
O trecho "theirs would be the most environmentally-friendly Games ever" traz o pronome possessivo theirs (= their Games, "os Jogos deles"). A pergunta pede, portanto, o elemento "Games" possuído pelos delegados, e isso se faz com whose + substantivo: Whose Games...?
Depois, é preciso montar a pergunta com a estrutura correta:
- Em perguntas com objeto interrogativo, usa-se o auxiliar did e o verbo volta à forma base: the delegates promised vira did the delegates promise.
- A ordem fica: palavra interrogativa + auxiliar + sujeito + verbo: Whose Games did the Sydney delegates promise...?
- O restante, that would be the most environmentally-friendly Games ever, completa a frase.
As demais alternativas erram: (A) e (E) mantêm promised sem inverter com o auxiliar; (B) e (C) usam who, que pergunta por pessoa, e não pelos Jogos. Além disso, (C) tem sujeito indefinido e não preserva o sentido original.
A alternativa D é a única com whose e com a estrutura interrogativa correta.
Alternativa D.
Por que as outras alternativas estão erradas
- AUsa whose, mas não coloca o auxiliar did e mantém promised, ficando sem a estrutura de pergunta.
- BWho pergunta por pessoa, mas o que se quer saber é de quem são os Jogos (theirs).
- CWho did promise pergunta pelo sujeito de forma incorreta e perde a informação sobre os delegados de Sydney.
- EWhich Games não corresponde a theirs e a frase não tem auxiliar nem inversão.
Assunto: Tempos verbais e verbos modais.
