(AFA - 2010)
Rosana Fisher works at an outdoor activities centre on the west coast of Scotland. She teaches mountain climbing, scuba diving and hang-gliding. She's talking to some young people who've just arrived at the centre:
I - 'You can't do any of the activities unless you're with an instructor.'
II - 'We won't let you start an activity if you don't have the correct equipment.'
III - 'You can't go scuba diving unless you've done the training course.'
IV - 'Remember you can't leave the centre unless you say where you're going.'

Mark the option which shows another way to rewrite the conditional sentences above, correctly.
I - You can do none of the activities if you don't be with an instructor.
II - We will not let you start an activity unless you have the correct equipment.
III - You cannot going scuba diving if you haven't done the training course.
IV - Remember you can't leave the centre if you don't say where you go.
I, II and III.
II and IV.
I, II and IV.
III and IV.
Gabarito:
II and IV.
I (original) - 'You can't do any of the activities unless you're with an instructor.'
I (reescrita) - You can do none of the activities if you don't be with an instructor.
A reescrita está incorreta. A construção if you don't be está errada, o certo seria if you aren't.
II (original) - 'We won't let you start an activity if you don't have the correct equipment.'
II (reescrita) - We will not let you start an activity unless you have the correct equipment.
A reescrita está correta.
III (original) - 'You can't go scuba diving unless you've done the training course.'
III (reescrita) - You cannot going scuba diving if you haven't done the training course.
A reescrita está incorreta. A forma do gerúndio, going, não deve ser usada nesse caso, sendo o correto, portanto, go.
IV (original) - 'Remember you can't leave the centre unless you say where you're going.'
IV (reescrita) - Remember you can't leave the centre if you don't say where you go.
A reescrita está correta.
Assim, já que as reescritas corretas são as presentes em II e IV, a alternativa a ser assinalada é a de letra B.
