I Can See Clearly Now
by Jimmy Cliff
I can see clearly now the rain is gone.
I can see all obstacles in my way.
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind.
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day.
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day.
Oh, yes I can make it now the pain is gone.
All of the bad feelings have disappeared.
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for.
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day.
Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies.
Look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies.
I can see clearly now the rain is gone.
I can see all obstacles in my way.
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for.

Answer 1

Nos primeiros versos da música "I can see clearly now", do Jimmy Cliff, a palavra em destaque "can", expressa nas frases uma possibilidade, que nos versos específicos, expressa a habilidade de ver. Ou seja, a alternativa correta para essa questão é a letra b).

Nos versos “I can see clearly now the rain is gone" e "I can see all obstacles in my way", o músico descreve a capacidade que ele tem de poder ver que agora, a chuva passou, e que consegue ver todos os obstáculos em seu caminho.

Logo após, ele canta "gone are the dark clouds that had me blind" e "it’s gonna be a bright sunshine day", ou seja, ele comenta que após conseguir ver as coisas, também afirma que as nuvens negras que o mantinham cego se foram, e que então, o dia será ensolarado.
