Leaving words out

Ellipsis means leaving words out. Instead of repeating a noun phrase, we can use a pronoun or we can leave the pronoun out. Instead of repeating a verb phrase, we can use a substitution form or leave the substitution form out. We usually use ellipsis instead of repeating words before nouns in phrases joined by and, but, or. We can also use ellipsis after a comma in a list.

(adapted from YULE, George. Oxford Practice Grammar. Pearson: 2001, p.106)

The smile lingered for a moment or two than the smile disappeared and the smile was replaced by a dark stare.

Vamos analisar a questão e entender o conceito de elipse, que se refere a omissão de palavras que são subentendidas no contexto.

A alternativa correta é B.

Agora, vamos justificar as alternativas.

Alternativa B: Correta

Esta alternativa utiliza a elipse de maneira eficaz ao omitir palavras desnecessárias, mantendo o sentido original do texto:

"He put the money on the table and sat down" - O pronome "he" é omitido após a conjunção "and".
"She could take his money if she wanted to" - A frase omite a repetição da ação "take his money".
"The smile lingered for a moment or two than disappeared and was replaced by a dark stare" - Aqui, a frase eliminou a repetição desnecessária de "the smile".

Alternativa A: Incorreta

Embora haja algumas omissões, ela ainda mantém repetições desnecessárias:

"Sat in his hot clothes" - Omitiu o pronome "he", o que torna a frase gramaticalmente incorreta.
"The smile lingered for a moment or two than disappeared and the smile was replaced" - A repetição "the smile" é mantida.

Alternativa C: Incorreta

Ela contém omissões inadequadas e repetições:

"He put the money on the table and he sat down" - Mantém o pronome "he" desnecessariamente.
"He sat in his hot clothes felt heavy" - A omissão do "and" torna a frase incorreta.
"The smile lingered for a moment or two than it disappeared and the smile was replaced" - Mantém repetição desnecessária.

Alternativa D: Incorreta

Apesar de serem feitas algumas elipses, ela ainda contém repetições:

"He put the money on the table and sat down" - Correto.
"The smile lingered for a moment or two than the smile disappeared" - Mantém a repetição "the smile".

Entender o uso adequado da elipse envolve a habilidade de identificar palavras que podem ser omitidas para evitar redundâncias sem perder o sentido original do texto. Isso é crucial para a construção de frases mais econômicas e elegantes.
