Question

NADIA COMANECI
One of the most popular and exciting gymnasts to compete in the Olympic Games
was the Romanian Nadia Comaneci. Fourteen-year-old Nadia burst on the Olympic
scene when she competed in 1976 in Montreal against Olga Korbut, the great young
Russian gymnast. Olga had won two gold medals in the 1972 Olympics, and she was
going to try to repeat her victories in 1976. As Nadia watched, Olga approached the
uneven parallel bars, leaped up, caught hold of one bar, and began her routine. She
flipped, twisted, and turned. The crowd cheered, and the judges awarded Olga a
score of 9.90. It would take almost a perfect, score of 10.00 to beat Olga. Nadia was
next. She jumped and grabbed the lower bar. She performed an incredible series of
whirls and spins. She made a dazzling dismount, and stood straight as an arrow. The
crowd applauded Nadia wildly. The judges were astonished by Nadia's performance
and gave her a perfect score of 10.00! It was the first perfect gymnastic score in the
history of the Olympic Games. Nadia won three gold medals and one silver in
Montreal. Even with her perfect scores, however, she could not be called the greatest
of all women gymnasts. That honour belongs to Larissa Latynina of the former
Soviet Union, who, in three Olympics - 1956, 1960 and 1964 -wo n nine gold, five
silver, and three bronze medals.

Por favor me ajudem

Answer 1

Resposta:

1. b)

2. e)

3. c)

Explicação:

1. O texto diz que Nadia foi a primeira ginasta a atingir a nota máxima (10,00) em uma olimpíada, em 1976 em Montreal:

"It was the first perfect gymnastic score in the

history of the Olympic Games."

"Foi a primeira pontuação perfeita na ginástica na história dos jogos olímpicos." Isso vai de acordo com a letra b:

b) no gymnast had ever achieved a maximum score at the Olympics. (nenhum ginasta havia conseguido antes a pontuação máxima nas Olimpíadas).

2. O texto diz que, apesar desta nota máxima, Nadia não é considerada a maior ginasta da história, mas sim Larissa Latynina:

" Even with her perfect scores, however, she could not be called the greatest of all women gymnasts. That honour belongs to Larissa Latynina of the former

Soviet Union..." (Mesmo com suas pontuações perfeitas, no entanto, ela não pode ser chamada de a maior ginasta feminina de todos os tempos. Essa honra pertence à Larissa Latynina, da antiga União Soviética...).

3. Como diz no texto (statement, uma afirmação), a ginasta russa Olga Korbut estava indo repetir em 1976 as duas medalhas de ouro que conseguiu em 1972.isso está no trecho abaixo:

"Olga had won two gold medals in the 1972 Olympics, and she was going to try to repeat her victories in 1976." (Olga havia vencido duas medalhas de ouro nas Olimpíadas de 1972, e estava indo tentar repetir suas vitórias em 1976."

Isso é o que diz, em outras palavras, a alternativa c):

c) Olga Korbut was hoping to win more gold medals in 1976.

(Olga Korbut estava esperando vencer mais medalhas de ouro em 1976).
