🧭 1️⃣ Leitura orientada
A questão exige domínio da linha do tempo verbal. É necessário identificar:
• ação em progresso → Past Continuous
• fato pontual → Simple Past
• ação anterior a outra passada → Past Perfect
📝 2️⃣ Análise técnica das alternativas
(A) ❌ Incorreta.
Mistura tempos passados com Present Perfect (“have had”), que não se aplica a um contexto fechado no passado.
🚩 Pegadinha da banca: inserir tempo verbal incompatível com marcador temporal (“last Thursday”).
(B) ❌ Incorreta.
Usa was checking in com sujeito plural (“My husband and I”), além de manter have had, novamente inadequado.
🚩 Pegadinha da banca: erro de concordância + tempo verbal indevido.
(C) ✅ Correta.
✔ were checking in → ação em progresso
✔ realized → fato pontual
✔ had left → ação anterior ao “realized”
✔ had arrived / had → coerência temporal
✔ got / hurried / get on → sequência lógica de ações
🚫 Pegadinha evitada: linha do tempo respeitada do início ao fim.
(D) ❌ Incorreta.
Apresenta erro de concordância (“was checking in”) e forma verbal incoerente (“had hurried I got on”).
🚩 Pegadinha da banca: alternativa longa com erro estrutural escondido.
(E) ❌ Incorreta.
Usa had realized sem necessidade, pois não há outro evento passado anterior que justifique o Past Perfect nesse ponto.
🚩 Pegadinha da banca: uso excessivo de past perfect.
🚩 3️⃣ Armadilhas clássicas da banca
• Usar Present Perfect com marcadores de passado fechado
• Aplicar Past Perfect sem referência temporal clara
• Ignorar concordância verbal com sujeito composto
