Text I


   Despite the tricky and life-threatening relationship between Paleolithic humans and the megafauna that comprised so much of their environment, twentieth-century scholars tended to claim cave art as evidence of an unalloyed triumph for our species. It was a “great spiritual symbol,” of a time when “man had just emerged from a purely zoological existence, when instead of being dominated by animals, he began to dominate them.” But the child-like and highly stylized stick figures found in caves do not radiate triumph. By the standards of our own time, they are excessively self-effacing and, compared to the animals portrayed around them, pathetically weak.

   While twentieth-century archeologists tended to solemnize prehistoric art as “magico-religious” or “shamanic,” today’s more secular viewers sometimes detect a vein of sheer silliness. India’s Mesolithic rock art portrays few human stick figures; those that are portrayed have been described by modern viewers as “comical,” “animalized” and “grotesque.” As Judith Thurman wrote about the artists, “despite their penchant for naturalism, rarely did they choose to depict human beings, and then did so with a crudeness that smacks of mockery.”

   But who are they mocking, other than themselves and, by extension, their distant descendants, ourselves? Of course, our reactions to Paleolithic art may bear no connection to the intentions or feelings of the artists. Yet there are reasons to believe that Paleolithic people had a sense of humor not all that dissimilar from our own.

A afirmação está CORRETA.

A última frase é: "Yet there are reasons to believe that Paleolithic people had a sense of humor not all that dissimilar from our own."

Se fosse inserida uma vírgula imediatamente após o primeiro "that", a frase ficaria assim: "Yet there are reasons to believe that, Paleolithic people had a sense of humor not all that dissimilar from our own."

Essa modificação tornaria a frase gramaticalmente incorreta porque a vírgula interromperia de maneira inadequada a conexão entre a conjunção subordinativa "that" e o restante da oração subordinada ("Paleolithic people had a sense of humor..."). Na gramática inglesa, vírgulas não devem separar conjunções subordinativas (como "that") de suas orações dependentes.

A inserção de uma vírgula após o primeiro "that" torna a frase gramaticalmente incorreta. Portanto, a afirmação está CORRETA.

no meu raciocínio o That iria concordar com a frase anterior e a Paleolítico iria iniciar uma nova frase, alterando os sentidos, porém mantendo a correção gramatical......
