🟨 TEXTO 3
Oxfam stands for the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief. It was started in Oxford, England in 1942 in response to the European famine-related issues resulting from the Second World War.
Ten other countries worldwide, including the United States and Australia, have started chapters of Oxfam. They make up what is known as Oxfam International.
Oxfam America is dedicated to creating lasting solutions to hunger, poverty, and social injustice through long-term partnerships with poor communities around the world.
As a privately funded organization, we can speak with conviction and integrity as we challenge the structural barriers that foster conflict and human suffering and limit people from gaining the skills, resources, and power to become self-sufficient.
Oxfam implements various global projects that target areas particularly affected by hunger. The projects focus on developing self-sufficiency of the communities in which they are based, as opposed to merely providing relief in the form of food aid.

📝 2️⃣ Análise técnica das alternativas
(A) ❌ Incorreta — Oxfam and the projects.
🚩 Pegadinha da banca: puxar o referente para o sujeito
institucional do texto (Oxfam), ignorando a estrutura da frase.
O termo Oxfam não aparece no período analisado.
(B) ❌ Incorreta — the projects and food aid.
🚩 Pegadinha da banca: induzir o aluno a associar
they a food aid, que está próximo no texto,
mas é um substantivo não retomado pelo pronome.
(C) ❌ Incorreta — the communities and food aid.
🚩 Pegadinha da banca: acerto parcial.
In which realmente retoma the communities,
mas they jamais pode retomar food aid,
pois o pronome se refere a um núcleo plural ativo (projects).
(D) ❌ Incorreta — self-sufficiency and the communities.
🚩 Pegadinha da banca: confundir complemento abstrato
(self-sufficiency) com substantivo concreto locativo.
In which exige um referente de lugar ou base, não um conceito.
(E) ✅ Correta — the communities and the projects.
✔ In which retoma the communities
(local onde algo se baseia).
✔ They retoma the projects,
núcleo plural do sujeito da frase.
🚫 Pegadinha evitada: leitura apressada pela proximidade
das palavras.
