The world is changing
Posted on April 4, 2020 by Sandy Millin
The title of this week’s post is inspired by this cartoon from Michael Leunig which appeared on my Facebook stream this week:
Man: The world is changing.
Duck: It's always changing.
Man: Our lives are in danger. We are in lockdown.
Duck: Life is always dangerous. We were never free.
Man: Many of us could die.
Duck: We all get our turn.
Man: Nobody knows what's going to happen.
Duck: Nobody ever knows. This makes life interesting.
Man: We don't know what to believe anymore.
Duck: Keep an open mind. This also makes life interesting.
Man: We are living in strange times.
Duck: Were we not living in strange times?

🟨 QUESTÃO 11
The duck from the comic strip thinks life is
(A) as capricious as it can be.
(B) as easy as it has always been.
(C) only difficult for those who don’t believe.
(D) harder for people without positive perspective.
Gabarito: A
📜 RITO B3GE™
🧭 1️⃣ Leitura orientada
O pato assume uma visão filosófica da existência, afirmando que a vida sempre foi incerta, perigosa e imprevisível — e exatamente por isso, interessante.
🔎 2️⃣ Análise técnica das alternativas
(A) as capricious as it can be. ✅
🚩 Pegadinha lexical: “capricious” significa imprevisível, volátil.
A fala do pato reforça que a vida nunca foi estável ou controlável.
(B) as easy as it has always been. ❌
🚩 Pegadinha por suavização: o pato não diz que a vida é fácil,
mas que sempre foi perigosa.
(C) only difficult for those who don’t believe. ❌
🚩 Pegadinha ideológica: o texto não menciona fé ou crença
como critério de dificuldade.
(D) harder for people without positive perspective. ❌
🚩 Pegadinha interpretativa: embora o pato seja positivo,
ele não afirma que a vida seja objetivamente mais difícil para pessimistas.
🧠 3️⃣ Resumo B3GE™ Master
A resposta correta depende de reconhecer o tom existencial do pato: a vida é instável por natureza — e aceitar isso é parte da experiência humana.
