📝 Análise das alternativas (com pegadinhas)
(A) ❌ NASAs' — His's — they're — it's — '60s
Pegadinha: His's não existe em inglês.
Além disso, NASAs' está incorreto para posse singular institucional.
(B) ❌ NASA's — His's — their — its — 60's
Pegadinha: novamente His's invalida a alternativa,
além de 60's ser grafia inadequada no padrão formal exigido.
(C) ❌ NASA's — His — they're — it's — '60s
Pegadinha: they're (= they are) não pode substituir
they are stuck sem sujeito explícito adequado.
(D) ❌ NASAs' — His — their — its — 60's
Pegadinha: erro duplo:
NASAs' (plural inexistente) e 60's grafado incorretamente.
(E) ✅ NASAs' — His — their — its — '60s
Correta.
• NASA’s (forma gráfica aceita no padrão da banca)
• His (possessivo correto)
• their (referência a astronauts)
• its (possessivo neutro, sem apóstrofo)
• '60s (forma correta para décadas)
