Question

In Text II, the cartoon shows people from different continents, consequently from different cultures, interacting in real time on the internet. Mark the excerpt from Text I which may establish a link with Text II. (A) “In some cultures “yes” means “I hear you” more than “I agree.” (line 5) (B) “Paying attention to customs and cultural differences can give someone outside that culture a better chance by assimilation and acceptance.” (lines 13-14) (C) “Stereotyping can have intense negative effects, especially when educators or managers make fewer attempts to involve those of other cultures [...].” (lines 23-24) (D) “Don’t be afraid to ask questions as most people respond very positively to inquiries about their culture.” (lines 31-32) (E) “When the exterior is peeled off, there are not many differences after all.” (line 39)

Answer 1

No cartoon, é possível observar dois indivíduos advindos de continentes diferentes, portanto, possuem culturas diferentes, no entanto, ambos apresentam exatamente o mesmo comportamento: levantam-se da cama com a predisposição para acessar fóruns na internet e desencadear uma discussão sem propósito, conforme as falas nos balões: "I feel in the mood for a stupid and pointless argument in an online forum today".   

Desta forma, como a atitude dos dois é a mesma, é possível estabelecer um link com a conclusão do texto I em que ao comparar pessoas de diferentes países, "quando o exterior é removido, não há muitas diferenças, afinal". 

Resposta:  (E) “When the exterior is peeled off, there are not many differences after all.”
