Sadiq Khan vs. Donald Trump

    The most important political event of recent weeks was not the emergence of Donald J. Trump as the presumptive presidential nominee of the Republican Party but the election of Sadiq Khan, the Muslim son of a London bus driver, as mayor of London.
  Trump has not won any kind of political office yet, but Khan, the Labour Party candidate, crushed Zac Goldsmith, a Conservative, to take charge of one of the world’s great cities, a vibrant metropolis where every tongue is heard. In his victory, a triumph over the slurs that tried to tie him to Islamist extremism, Khan stood up for openness against isolationism, integration against confrontation, opportunity for all against racism and misogyny. He was the anti-Trump. Before the election, Khan said “I’m a Londoner, I’m a European, I’m British, I’m English, I’m of Islamic faith, of Asian origin, of Pakistani heritage, a dad, a husband”.
    The world of the 21st century is going to be shaped by such elided, many-faceted identities and by the booming cities that celebrate diversity, not by some bullying, brash, bigoted, “America first” white dude who wants to build walls. It is worth noting that under the ban on Muslim noncitizens entering the country that Trump proposes, Khan would not be allowed to visit the United States. To use one of Trump’s favorite phrases, this would be a “complete and total disaster”.
    Khan’s election is important because it gives the lie to the facile trope that Europe is being taken over by jihadi Islamists. It underscores the fact that terrorist acts hide a million quiet success stories among European Muslim communities. One of seven children of a Pakistani immigrant family, Khan grew up in public housing and went on to become a human rights lawyer and government minister. He won more than 1.3 million votes in the London election, a personal mandate unsurpassed by any politician in British history. His election is important because the most effective voices against Islamist terrorism come from Muslims, and Khan has been prepared to speak out. After the Paris attacks last year, he said in a speech that Muslims had a “special role” to play in countering the terrorism, “not because we are more responsible than others, as some have wrongly claimed, but because we can be more effective at tackling extremism than anyone else”.
    Trump as a politician is a product of American fear and anger above all. In the past several weeks, a U.C. Berkeley student has been escorted off a Southwest Airlines flight because he was heard speaking Arabic, and an olive-skinned, curly haired Italian Ivy League economist was taken off an American Airlines flight because he was spotted scribbling mathematical calculations that his seatmate found suspicious. When Trump declares, “America First will be the major and overriding theme of my administration,” the rest of the world hears an angry nation flexing its muscles.
    Khan has argued that greater integration is essential and “too many British Muslims grow up without really knowing anyone from a different background”.
    Put together an egotist, a bully, immense power and you have a dangerous brew that could put civilization at risk. Those small fingers would have access to the nuclear codes if Trump was elected. In this context, Sadiq Khan’s victory is reassuring because he represents currents in the world — toward global identity and integration — that will prove stronger over time than the tribalism and nativism of Trump.

Alternativa correta: B - one of the characters accomplished a deed.

Vamos entender a questão e analisar cada alternativa. O texto discute dois personagens principais: Sadiq Khan e Donald Trump, destacando as conquistas de Khan e contrastando sua postura com a de Trump.

A questão pede para identificar uma afirmação verdadeira sobre o texto. Vamos examinar a alternativa correta e as incorretas:

Alternativa B - one of the characters accomplished a deed.

Esta alternativa é correta porque Sadiq Khan realizou um feito significativo: ele foi eleito prefeito de Londres, superando preconceitos e promovendo valores de integração e diversidade. Isso é uma "realização" ou "deed" no contexto do texto.

Alternativa A - America First will be Trump’s backup aim.

Esta alternativa é incorreta porque "America First" não é um objetivo secundário (backup aim) para Trump; na verdade, é o tema principal da sua administração, conforme mencionado no texto.

Alternativa C - Khan’s ruled out the rebuke of Islamic State.

Esta alternativa é incorreta porque o texto não menciona que Khan rejeitou a crítica ao Estado Islâmico. Pelo contrário, ele é apresentado como uma figura que se posiciona fortemente contra o extremismo.

Alternativa D - Muslims intend to set up religious extremism.

Esta alternativa é totalmente incorreta e vai contra a mensagem do texto. O texto destaca que a eleição de Khan refuta a ideia simplista de que os muçulmanos estão tentando estabelecer o extremismo religioso. Khan é mostrado como um exemplo de sucesso e integração, contrário ao extremismo.

Portanto, a alternativa B é a que melhor reflete a informação apresentada no texto.
