Soluções para a tarefa
Olá!
O texto é bem comprido mas a resposta a essa questão esta nesse parágrafo:
Promoters of the L.A. concerts said the gross for the evening would exceed $ 275,000 if the Stones filled the 18,000 seats in the Forum both shows. Similar grosses, on a per show basis, were expected throughout the tour, with the Stones getting guarantees of $ 25,000 a concert and up, against take home percentages running close to $ 60,000.
“Can the Rolling Stones actually need all that money?” Gleason asked. “If they really dig the black musicians as much as every note they play and every syllable they utter indicates, is it possible to take out a show with, say, Ike and Tina and some of the older men like Howlin’ Wolf and let them share in the loot?
How much can the Stones take back to Merrie England after taxes, anyway? How much must the British manager and the American manager and the agency rake off the top?
Analisando o texto sabemos que a alternativa correta é:
b) whether the Stones do need all the money mentioned for their concert tickets is debatable.
Porque, os Stones receberem muito dinheiro por causa dos ingressos dos concertos, embora figuras como essas não sejam incomuns para visitas de grupo dessa magnitude, elas trouxeram fortes críticas de Ralph Gleason no San Francisco Chronicle.
