The X-Files is an American science fiction horror drama television series created by Chris Carter. The program originally aired from September 10, 1993 to May 19, 2002 on Fox, spanning nine seasons and 202 episodes. The series revolves around FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) investigating X-Files: marginalized, unsolved cases involving paranormal phenomena. Mulder believes in the existence of aliens and the paranormal while Scully, a skeptic, is assigned to make scientific analyses of Mulder’s discoveries to debunk his work and thus return him to mainstream cases. Early in the series, both agents become pawns in a larger conflict and come to trust only each other. They develop a close relationship, which begins as a platonic friendship, but becomes a romance by series end. In 2002 a movie was released with the following plot. When a group of women are abducted in the wintry hills of rural Virginia, the only clues to their disappearance are the grotesque human remains that begin to turn up in snow banks along the highway. With officials desperate for any lead, a disgraced priest’s questionable visions send local police on a wild goose chase and straight to a bizarre secret medical experiment that may or may not be connected to the women’s disappearance. It’s a case right out of The X-Files. But the FBI closed down its investigations into the paranormal years ago. And the best team for the job is ex-agents Fox Mulder and Dr. Dana Scully, who have no desire to revisit their dark past. Still, the truth of these horrific crimes is out there somewhere...and it will take Mulder and Scully to find it! This television 90´s series follows the adventures and lives of FBI agents investigating those cases that involve the paranormal or previously unsolved (especially by conventional means). FBI Special Agents Mulder, Scully, Doggett and Reyes work to uncover forces within the United States of America government that would violate people’s rights, alien creatures and monsters alike that attack and other mysteries.

Trata-se de questão envolvendo a capacidade de interpretação de texto do candidato, que deverá marcar a opção correta a respeito da frase “…while Scully, a skeptic, is assigned to make scientific analyses of Mulder's discoveries to debunk his work…".

Vejamos:

Alternativa A.
ERRADA. O adjetivo “skeptic" (cética) indica que Scully não acredita nas descobertas do agente Mulder. Chamamos de cética aquela que desconfia e questiona uma ideia ou crença.

Alternativa B.
ERRADA. Como vimos na análise da alternativa A, Scully não acreditava em Mulder. Ela tampouco buscava evidências para ajudá-lo; ela buscava meios de desmascará-lo (“debunk").

Alternativa C.
CORRETA. Scully acreditava na ciência e buscava, através de análises científicas, desacreditar o trabalho e as teorias de Mulder, provando que ele estava errado.

Alternativa D.
ERRADA. A expressão “a verdade estava lá fora" indica que a verdade está disponível para ser descoberta/encontrada. Scully não acredita nisso. Para ela, a verdade está na ciência.

GABARITO DO PROFESSOR: LETRA C.
