42Which of the following is most supported by the information in the article?A Obesity is Qatar's most serious health problem.B Some evidence shows that obesity is a bigger problem in Qatar than in any other Middle Eastern country.C In recent years, obesity rates in Qatar have increased by 34 percent for men and by 45 percent for women.D For many years, Qatari officials deliberately ignored the country's epidemic of obesity.E If Qatar had a colder climate, it would not have an obesity problem.

Answer 1

Olá,

De acordo com o Parágrafo 5 (abaixo) a obesidade é um problema considerável também em outros países do oriente médio, embora no Catar os índices seja mais alarmantes, logo alternativa:

C In recent years, obesity rates in Qatar have increased by 34 percent for men and by 45 percent for women.

Parágrafo 5:

Obesity is a touchy subject in the emirate. Data from the International Association for the Study of Obesity shows that Qatar has the highest obesity rates in the Middle East. About 34 percent of Qatar's men and 45 percent of its women are obese, defined as a body mass index of more than 30.

Errata - Como podem ver no comentário do usuário LucaPooka a resposta acima está incorreta, já que na alternativa há a afirmação de que os índices de obesidade cresceram esta porcentagem nos últimos anos, entretanto o texto afirma que esses são os índices gerais. Logo a alternativa correta é a B.

Obrigada LucaPooka pela correção!
