Questão

After a week of cloudy nights, the Riverside Astronomy Club met to organize its next skywatch. The leader checked the weather app and said the group was going to meet on Friday at 8 p.m. if the sky stayed clear. Two students planned to bring binoculars, and another one said she would prepare a short guide about the Moon. The club also noticed that the wind might be strong near the river, so they could move the activity to the school yard if needed. By the end of the meeting, everyone agreed that the event would probably attract more visitors than last month, because the planets would be easier to see. Identify the sentence that best expresses the club’s future plan mentioned in the text.

1. A) The club meets on Friday at 8 p.m. if the sky stays clear.
2. B) The club had met on Friday at 8 p.m. if the sky stayed clear.
3. C) The club may meet on Friday at 8 p.m. if the sky stays clear.
4. D) The club is meeting on Friday at 8 p.m. if the sky stays clear.
5. E) The club is going to meet on Friday at 8 p.m. if the sky stays clear.

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa E

Resolução passo a passo

1. O texto diz que o líder 'said the group was going to meet on Friday at 8 p.m. if the sky stayed clear'. Essa é a expressão de plano futuro: 'was going to' (futuro no passado, relatado) corresponde a 'is going to' no discurso direto, indicando intenção já decidida para a sexta-feira.
2. Verifico a forma verbal da alternativa correta. 'The club is going to meet on Friday at 8 p.m. if the sky stays clear' mantém o sentido de plano futuro, com o condicional 'if the sky stays clear' coerente com a condição do texto.
3. Por que as outras estão erradas:
4. A) 'meets' é presente simples, usado para horários fixos ou rotinas, e não expressa o plano específico descrito.
5. B) 'had met' é passado perfeito, indicando um evento já concluído, incompatível com um plano futuro.
6. C) 'may meet' expressa possibilidade incerta, enquanto o texto fala de um plano decidido.
7. D) 'is meeting' é presente contínuo, que pode indicar futuro, mas aqui a construção não aparece no texto como plano relatado; a forma 'is going to' é a que espelha exatamente a fala do líder.
8. Conclusão: a alternativa E é a que melhor expressa o plano futuro do clube, conforme o gabarito oficial.

💡 Dica: Leia o texto atentamente e identifique a frase que expressa o plano futuro do clube.
