Question

O texto III refere-se a questão A Forced Kiss, and a Reckoning With
Sexism in Spain1

In the wake of a nonconsensual kiss
pressed on Jennifer Hermoso, a star player of the
Spanish women's soccer team, by the president
of Spain’s soccer federation, Luis Rubiales, a
significant national conversation has been
sparked in Spain about feminism, equality, and
abuse. The incident highlights the clash between
deeply ingrained traditions of machismo and
Spain's more recent progressivism on genderrelated matters.

The unwarranted kiss by Rubiales on
Hermoso's lips has become symbolic of the
generational and cultural divide between
traditional machismo and the more modern push
for gender equality. The incident has led to
widespread condemnation, even within
conservative circles. This event has been referred
to by some as Spain’s version of the #MeToo
movement.

Spanish prosecutors have initiated a
preliminary investigation into whether Rubiales
could be charged with a sexual aggression crime.
The Royal Spanish Football Federation, led by
Rubiales, has faced calls for his resignation due
to the controversy.

In a politically charged environment, where
the far-right's anti-gender identity stance was
rejected in recent elections, Spain's feminist
movement has gained momentum. Leading
politicians, cultural figures, and voices within
soccer culture have expressed support for
Hermoso and condemned Rubiales, highlighting
Spain's shift towards gender equality.

The incident has triggered a broader
reflection on the country's entrenched soccer
culture and sexism, prompting discussions about
the need for change. Many see this moment as
an opportunity for Spain to address and transform
the deeply ingrained sexism within maledominated institutions.

Alternativa [B] Spanish prosecutors initiated an
investigation, stating that Rubiales could be
charged with a sexual aggression crime. Alternativa correta: B

A questão em análise aborda o discurso direto e indireto (ou reported speech) em Inglês. Essa é uma área importante porque muitas vezes nos deparamos com a necessidade de reportar o que alguém disse, especialmente em contextos formais como o de notícias e investigações.

No texto fornecido, temos a seguinte frase que precisa ser convertida para o discurso indireto:
"Spanish prosecutors have initiated a preliminary investigation into whether Rubiales could be charged with a sexual aggression crime."

Primeiro, vamos entender a construção do discurso indireto:

O discurso direto reproduz exatamente as palavras de alguém, usando aspas.
  O discurso indireto parafraseia o que foi dito, ajustando pronomes, tempos verbais e outras partes da sentença.

Vamos analisar cada alternativa:

Alternativa B: "Spanish prosecutors initiated an investigation, stating that Rubiales could be charged with a sexual aggression crime."
Esta é a alternativa correta porque converte corretamente a sentença para o discurso indireto. Mantém o sentido original, ajustando o tempo verbal de "have initiated" para "initiated" e mantendo o verbo modal "could".

Alternativas incorretas:

Alternativa A: "Spanish prosecutors have said, 'We are investigating whether Rubiales could be charged with a sexual aggression crime'."
Esta alternativa está em discurso direto e não em discurso indireto, portanto, não é a resposta correta.

Alternativa C: "Spanish prosecutors said 'Rubiales will be charged with a sexual aggression crime'."
Essa alternativa altera o verbo modal "could" para "will", mudando significativamente o sentido da frase original. O verbo "will" indica certeza, enquanto "could" indica possibilidade.

Alternativa D: "Spanish prosecutors stated, 'Rubiales will be charged with a sexual aggression crime'."
Similar à alternativa C, esta opção também muda o verbo modal "could" para "will", alterando o significado original da frase.

Alternativa E: "Spanish prosecutors declared 'Rubiales was charged with a sexual aggression crime'."
Esta alternativa muda o verbo modal "could" para "was", que denota um fato concluído no passado, o que é incorreto em relação ao texto original.

Entender e aplicar corretamente o discurso indireto é fundamental para preservar o significado original das declarações ao reportá-las. Preste sempre atenção em como os tempos verbais e os modais devem ser ajustados.
