Looking for a reusable water bottle for my backpack, I tested three models from a local store and wrote quick notes to post online. Breeze (plastic): 120 g; price: $6; keeps water cold for about 1 hour. Summit (aluminum): 200 g; price: $12; keeps water cold for about 6 hours. Frost (stainless steel): 320 g; price: $18; keeps water cold for about 10 hours. All three bottles have a screw cap and none of them leaked during a one-day test. For my routine, weight and price matter, but I also like drinks that stay cold during the afternoon. Based on the notes in the text, identify the sentence that correctly compares the bottles using comparative and superlative adjectives.

1. A) Summit is heavier than Frost, and it is the most expensive of the three.
2. B) Breeze is heavier than Summit, and it is the most expensive of the three.
3. C) Frost is heavier of Summit, and it is the expensivest of the three.
4. D) Frost is heavier than Summit, and it is the most expensive of the three.
5. E) Frost is more heavier than Summit, and it is the most expensive of the three.

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa D

Resolução passo a passo

1. Identifique os dados do texto. Breeze pesa 120 g e custa 6 dólares; Summit pesa 200 g e custa 12 dólares; Frost pesa 320 g e custa 18 dólares.
2. Compare os pesos. Como 320 é maior que 200, Frost é mais pesada que Summit. Para comparar dois itens, usa-se o adjetivo no comparativo de superioridade: heavier than (mais pesado do que).
3. Identifique o item mais caro entre os três. Frost custa 18 dólares, o maior preço, então ela é the most expensive of the three (a mais cara das três). Para adjetivos longos como expensive, usa-se most antes da forma, e não -est.
4. Confira a alternativa D: Frost is heavier than Summit, and it is the most expensive of the three. Ela está correta nos dois comparativos.
5. Analise as outras alternativas. A está errada porque Summit (200 g) é mais leve que Frost (320 g). B está errada porque Breeze (120 g) é mais leve que Summit (200 g) e é a mais barata, não a mais cara. C está errada porque usa 'heavier of' (a preposição correta é than) e 'expensivest', forma inexistente. E está errada porque 'more heavier' é uma dupla marcação de comparativo, já que heavier já é comparativo.
6. Conclusão. O gabarito oficial D está correto, e a análise independente confirma essa alternativa.

💡 Dica: Compare os adjetivos usando 'heavier than' e 'most expensive'.
