REFERS TO QUESTION


The Literary Influences of Superstar Musician David Bowie

BY JOHN O'CONNELL ON 10/31/19 AT 5:00 AM EDT


David Bowie was a pop star for most of his career from the 1960s until his death in 2016. He was known for his flamboyant style, songwriting and the ability to artistically turn on a dime. But Bowie, who died of cancer at 69, was more than a multi-platinum rock and roller. He was also one of the more literate composers in the business.

So much so, in fact, that in conjunction with a career retrospective in 2013 at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, Bowie issued a list of the one hundred books he considered the most important and influential. British music columnist John O'Connell linked this list to Bowie's prolific music. The result? A book called Bowie's Bookshelf out this month from Gallery Books.

William S. Burroughs first made the link between Bowie's lyrics and T. S. Eliot's poetry. In a Rolling Stone interview, Burroughs asked if Hunky Dory's "Eight Line Poem" had been influenced by Eliot's "The Hollow Men." Bowie's reply: "Never read him." But Bowie was definitely exposed to Eliot's influence. "Goodnight Ladies" on Transformer, the album Bowie produced for Lou Reed in 1972, is a riff on the end of the second section, "A Game of Chess," from Eliot's poem "The Waste Land." Eliot, for his part, is deliberately quoting Ophelia's "Good night, sweet ladies" speech from Hamlet. Eliot's method established a new protocol for artistic theft—the modern poet in dialogue with his or her predecessors. Bowie, too, was candid about how much he took from other artists. "You can't steal from a thief," he said when LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy admitted to stealing from Bowie's songs.

Essa questão aborda o assunto das Question tags.

As question tags são usadas pela língua inglesa no final das frases para questionar ou confirmar alguma informação. É preciso sempre observar a oração principal e analisar seu tempo verbal para poder concordar com a próxima frase. Seu uso segue as seguintes regras:

  • Se for afirmação, a question tag será uma pergunta negativa.
  • Se for negação, a question tag será uma pergunta afirmativa.

Exemplo:

  • You saw him, didn’t you?
  • Você o viu, não viu?

Voltando ao enunciado, temos:

Qual opção tem uma tag question que completa a frase a seguir corretamente?

“David Bowie era uma estrela pop, ________________”

Sabendo que a primeira oração é afirmativa, a segunda deve ser negativa, portanto a resposta correta é "ele não era?", que em inglês fica "wasn't he?"

A) was he? - incorreta, pois a pergunta está no afirmativo

B) wasn´t he? - Correta

C) was he. - Incorreta, pois além de ser afirmativa, falta o ponto de interrogação

D) he wasn´t. - Incorreta - falta o ponto de interrogação e o sujeito deve vir depois do verbo nas question tag

E) he wasn´t? - Incorreta, pois o sujeito deve vir depois do verbo nas question tag

Gabarito: B
