The Boy Who Lived
Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn't hold with such nonsense.
Mr. Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings, which made drills. He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did have a very large mustache. Mrs. Dursley was thin and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck, which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over garden fences, spying on the neighbors. The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere.
The Dursleys had everything they wanted, but they also had a secret, and their greatest fear was that somebody would discover it. They didn't think they could bear it if anyone found out about the Potters. Mrs. Potter was Mrs. Dursley's sister, but they hadn't met for several years; in fact, Mrs. Dursley pretended she didn't have a sister, because her sister and her good-for-nothing husband were as unDursleyish as it was possible to be. The Dursleys shuddered to think what the neighbors would say if the Potters arrived in the street. The Dursleys knew that the Potters had a small son, too, but they had never even seen him. This boy was another good reason for keeping the Potters away; they didn't want Dudley mixing with a child like that.

Vamos na fé.
Questão de interpretação de texto, porém, como o texto é bem longo, uma dica é ler primeiro as alternativas, para depois partir somente localizando as palavras/informações que aparecem nelas e que nos ajudariam a responder a questão.
No caso desta, o candidato precisava encontrar a alternativa incorreta. Vamos à questão:
De acordo com o texto, qual das seguintes informações é FALSA:
A) Incorreta - The Dursleys were proud to be ordinary.
Tradução: Os Dursleys tinham orgulho de serem comuns.
Correta, como podemos ver na primeira frase do texto:
Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal
O Sr. e a Sra. Dursley, do número quatro, Rua dos Alfeneiros, orgulhavam-se de dizer que eram perfeitamente normais.
B) Incorreta - The Dursleys and the Potters do not have a lot in common.
Tradução: Os Dursleys e os Potters não têm muito em comum.
Correta, como podemos ver no último parágrafo:
Mrs. Dursley pretended she didn't have a sister, because her sister and her good-for-nothing husband were as unDursleyish as it was possible to be.
A sra. Dursley fingia que não tinha irmã, porque sua irmã e seu marido imprestável eram tão pouco dursleys quanto era possível ser.
C) Incorreta - Mrs. Dursley and Mrs. Potter do not have a good relationship.
Tradução: Sra. Dursley e Sra. Potter não têm um bom relacionamento.
Correto, como diz o último parágrafo:
Mrs. Dursley pretended she didn't have a sister
Sra. Dursley fingiu que não tinha uma irmã
D) Correta - Mrs. Dursley and Mrs. Potter have seen each other for several years.
Tradução: A Sra. Dursley e a Sra. Potter se viam há vários anos.
Essa frase está incorreta, pois no último parágrafo temos:
A Sra. Potter era irmã da Sra. Dursley, mas elas não se encontravam há vários anos;
E) Incorreta - The Dursleys ignored the existence of the Potters.
Tradução: Os Dursleys ignoraram a existência dos Potters.
Sim, a Sra. Dursley fingia que não tinha irmã, como vemos nos trechos acima.
Gabarito: D
