TEXTO PARA A PRÓXIMA QUESTÃO:
MBA PROGRAMS
By Stephen Thewlis
If you ___( I )___ an international student seeking an MBA, why ___( II )___ the United States? Because American MBA programs are world renowned for giving students a leading edge in the business world through top-of-the-line education, diverse specialized programs, and unparalleled networking opportunities and resources.
There are over a thousand MBA programs in the U.S.A. You will find an array of options to fit just about any need - from specialized degrees to unique programs geared toward international students.
Most American business schools - regardless of the major focus - will train you in the principles of general business management, which is a combination of accounting, economics, finance, marketing and statistics, among other topics. American universities also offer a wealth of specialized MBA programs and classes to 1tailor your degree. Depending on your intended career goals, you'll find programs that offer a more focused approach, including business administration, finance, human resources, information technology, marketing, nonprofit administration, and more.
Adapted from Study in the U.S.A.
The alternative that contains the verbs which complete blanks I and II in their appropriate tense is:
were - had you considered
have been - can't you consider
can be - haven't you considered
are - should you consider
will be - don't you consider
Gabarito:
are - should you consider
If you ___( I )___ an international student seeking an MBA, why ___( II )___ the United States? (Se você _______ um estudante internacional buscando um MBA, porque _______ os Estados Unidos?)
Considerando a frase temos que observar que ela está indicando algo que está acontecendo no presente, especialmente pelo uso do "seeking" que, junto do verbo "to be" conjugado no presente "are" concordando com o 'you" forma o Present Continuous, que deve ser utilizado para preencher a lacuna I. Assim já temos o indicativo da letra D como correta. Porém, pensando na segunda lacuna o que temos seria o uso correto de um verbo na afirmativa, não na negativa, como vemos em todas as alternativas, exceto na letra D, então fica correto o uso do "should you consider", considerando também que o "should" indica uma possibilidade, algo em consonância com o sentido da frase, que fala sobre considerar os EUA caso você esteja procurando um MBA.
