I thought subscribing to the online social network would open up new frontiers of creativity by enabling me to exchange views and insights with like-minded people.

Anyway, I thought it 5 was easier to leave (Facebook) than argue with her”, says Alice. Although the decline sounds bad for Facebook, the network is still growing in South America and Asia and will likely cross the billion-user mark in the next year.

Para montar a ordem correta, é importante prestar atenção na ordem cronológica dos acontecimentos, e não a ordem em que é contado no texto.

Primeiramente, Ghonim organizou o protesto no facebook. Dessa forma, a primeira figura é a letra "c".

Depois, Ghonim foi preso, logo após o primeiro protesto. Assim, a segunda figura é a letra "b".

Após, o presidente egípcio MUubarak se demitiu do poder. Portanto, a terceira figura é a letra "d".

Por fim, após ser solto, Ghonim disse que o sucesso da revolução foi por causa do Facebook, onde o movimento foi organizado. Assim, a última figura é a letra "a".

Portanto, a ordem correta é: c - b - d - a.


Alternativa correta: B.
