    In a nutshell, police officers maintain law and order, protect the general public, investigate crimes and prevent criminal activity from happening.
    If you become a police officer, your career will be all about crime prevention, prosecution and punishment. Policing is such a varied career path that you could find yourself doing all kinds of activities.
    You might be responsible for preventing heinous crimes and stopping dangerous criminal groups, such as organised crime syndicates. Alternatively, you might be working to diminish anti-social behaviour, or you might be taking part in counter-terrorism activities.
    Moreover, you might be responsible for investigating crimes against people and their property, or maintaining public peace and order at large events, public gatherings and protests.
     At all times, police officers must make sure their actions comply with current legislation. Consequently, police officers must keep up to date with the latest developments in crime detection and prevention.

Enunciado: In the last sentence of the text, the phrase “keep up to date with” means to meet the deadline.

Texto: At all times, police officers must make sure their actions comply with current legislation. Consequently, police officers must keep up to date with the latest developments in crime detection and prevention.

(Em todos os momentos, os policiais devem zelar em suas ações estão em conformidade com a legislação corrente. Consequentemente, policiais devem se manter atualizados com os últimos desenvolvimentos na detecção e prevenção de crime.

Reescritura: Consequentemente, policiais devem conhecer o prazo com os últimos desenvolvimentos na detecção e prevenção de crime.

gab.: Errado!

(E)

Na última frase do texto, o phrasal verb “keep up to date with” significa “manter-se atualizado” e não tem relação com “to meet the deadline”, que significa “encontrar o prazo final”, “o prazo de entrega final”. Portanto, item incorreto.

Estratégia

i'll keep you posted

keep up to date ~ manter-se atualizado/ se manter atualizado

to meet the deadline ~ terminar algo dentro de um determinado prazo.

Logo, (E).

Bastava lembrar do seriado Keep up with the Kardashians. rs

​keep someone up to date (with​/​on something) -> to  someone of all the most   and  in a .

up to date: having the most recent information, or using the newest methods or tools.

A banca pretendia confundir o candidato com a palavra "date", para fazer alguma assimulação de "data" com prazo.
