O acordo com Capio impediu o fechamento do hospital.

In the mid-1990s St Goran's was slated for closure. Then, in 1999, the Stockholm County Council struck a deal with Capio to take over the day-to-day operation of the hospital. In 2006 Capio was taken over by a group of private-equity firms led by Nordic Capital.
Tradução: Em meados da década de 1990 o hospital St Goran estava programado para ser fechado. Então, em 1999, o conselho de Estocolmo fechou um acordo com Capio para assumir a operação diária do hospital. Em 2006, a Capio foi assumida por um grupo de empresas privadas lideradas pela Nordic Capital. 

Segundo o trecho do segundo parágrafo inferimos que o item está correto.

A resposta encontra-se entre as linhas 12 a 17:

"In the mid-1990s St Goran’s was slated for closure. Then, in 1999, the Stockholm County Council struck a deal with Capio to take over the day-to-day operation of the hospital. In 2006 Capio was taken over by a group of private-equity firms led by Nordic Capital. Stockholm County Council recently extended Capio’s contract until 2021".

A idéia que o trecho em questão passa é a seguinte: O hospital estava previsto para fechar em meados da década de 90 do século passado. O Conselho do Condado de Estocolmo fechou um acordo com a Capio em 1999 , e esta passou a controlar o hospital. Em  2006, a Capio foi adquirida por um grupo de empresas comandadas pela Nordic Capital. O Conselho extendeu o contrato com a Capio até 2021.

Gabarito: Correto

Spot on. In the mid 1990s St Goran's was slated for closure, which means that the hospital was in jeopardy of closing down and had its lifespan extended by a deal struck by the government to have a privately run company take over the struggling health institution and get it back up on feet and running again.

O enunciado repete o que está em L13, que o hospital ia fechar quando Capio Inc. assumiu comando.

Sabendo a expressão "take over" (assumir o controle), daria para acertar a questão.

Certo.

Texto Saint Goran’s hospital is one of the glories of the Swedish welfare state. It is also a laboratory for applying business principles to the public sector. The hospital is run by a private company, Capio (…) 

St Goran’s gets nearly all its money from the state. But behind the scenes it has led a revolution in the relationship between government and business. In the mid-1990s St Goran’s was slated for closure. Then, in 1999, the Stockholm County Council struck a deal with Capio to take over the day-to-day operation of the hospital. 

Questão The deal made with Capio prevented the hospital from being closed.

De acordo com o texto, em meados da década de 90, o hospital estava fadado a fechar as portas. Assim, em 1999, foi firmado um acordo com Capio para assumir as operações do hospital (take over the day-to-day operation of the hospital).

• strike a deal: firmar um acordo

• take over: assumir o controle

• day-to-day: rotineiro, diário
