✅ Resposta correta: alternativa C

Resolução passo a passo

1. A questão pede os dois sentidos da palavra 'bark' que aparecem nas duas frases do enunciado, e não os exemplos citados pela turma. Passo 2: Na frase 1, 'The dog began to bark when it saw the cat', 'bark' é o latido, o som que o cachorro faz ao ver o gato. Passo 3: Na frase 2, 'The bark of the tree was rough', 'bark' é a casca, a camada externa do tronco da árvore, que é rugosa. Passo 4: Logo, os dois sentidos são 'the sound a dog makes' e 'the outer covering of a tree', que corresponde à alternativa C. Passo 5: Por que as outras estão erradas: A, D e B usam peixe, música ou comando, que são sentidos citados pela turma e não aparecem nas frases; E mistura o latido com o peixe, e o peixe não aparece em nenhuma frase. Passo 6: Concluindo, o gabarito oficial C está correto, pois apenas ele reúne os dois sentidos presentes nas duas frases.

💡 Dica: Considere o contexto da conversa para identificar os significados.
