Brazilian Forces Claim Victory in Gang Haven
RIO DE JANEIRO - In a quick and decisive military operation, Brazilian security forces took control of this city’s most notorious slum on Sunday, celebrating victory over drug gangs after a weeklong battle.
In the early afternoon, the military police raised the flags of Brazil and Rio de Janeiro atop a building on the highest hill in the Alemão shantytown complex, providing a rare moment of happiness and celebration in a decades-long battle to rid this city’s violent slums of drug gangs.
An air of calm and relief swept through the neighborhood, as residents opened their windows and began walking the streets. Dozens of children ran from their houses in shorts and bikinis to jump into a swimming pool that used to belong to a gang leader. Residents congregated around televisions in bars and restaurants, cheering for the police as if they were cheering for their favorite soccer teams. “Now the community is ours,” Jovelino Ferreira, a 60-year-old pastor, said, his eyes filling with tears. “This time it will be different. We have to have faith. Many people who didn’t deserve have suffered here.”

Gabarito:
residents went to streets.
a) Alternativa correta. É possível conferir isso em "[...] as residents opened their windows and began walking the streets".
b) Alternativa incorreta. Isso é contradito em "Dozens of children ran from their houses in shorts and bikinis to jump into a swimming pool that used to belong to a gang leader".
c) Alternativa incorreta. O texto diz que "[...] a swimming pool that used to belong to a gang leader", ou seja, a piscina pertencia a ele, mas não se diz se ele a utilizava ou não.
d) Alternativa incorreta. O trecho "[...] cheering for the police as if they were cheering for their favorite soccer teams" compara a comemoração à torcida pelos times de futebol, mas é apenas uma comparação, já que eles estavam comemorando outra coisa.
e) Alternativa incorreta. Na declaração de Jovelino Ferreira, não são mencionadas rezas da população com ele.
