## Enunciado

IX. Ascensão de Vasco da Gama

Os deuses da tormenta e os gigantes da terra
Suspendem de repente o ódio da sua guerra
E pasmam. Pelo vale onde se ascende aos céus
Surge um silêncio, e vai, da névoa ondeando os véus,
Primeiro um movimento e depois um assombro.
Ladeiam-no, ao durar, os medos, ombro a ombro,
E ao longe o rastro ruge em nuvens e clarões

Embaixo, onde a terra é, o pastor gela, e a flauta
Cai-lhe, e em êxtase vê, à luz de mil trovões,
O céu abrir o abismo à alma do Argonauta.

(PESSOA, Fernando. Mensagem. 2. ed. 1. reim. São
Paulo: Martin Claret, 2009. p. 47.)

- **A)** The mythology of the ancient world is a rich
 source of fantastic stories, and a fantastic story is
 a great start for a role-playing game. The story of
 Jason and the golden fleece is the basis of Rise of
 the Argonauts, the upcoming action RPG from
 Codemasters and Liquid Entertainment. The game
 will retell this classic tale with heavy-duty action
 game elements and an emphasis on storytelling
 and choices with consequences. (Available on: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/

- **B)** The modern version of the Argo, which ancient
 Greek myth says carried Jason and the Argonauts
 on their quest, is set to launch Saturday from the
 city of Volos, Greece, on its voyage through the
 waters of six countries, the Athens News Agency
 reported Friday. The ship is scheduled to
 complete its voyage on Aug. 12 in Venice, Italy.
 The new Argo follows the design specifications
 of ancient Greek penteconters, including a simple
 wooden sail and space for 25 rowers on each side. (UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL. Mythical ship

- **C)** “Before we start, can we get these guys some lunch?
 They look starved!” ![Imagem da alternativa C da questão de Inglês, PUC-GO 2011, Interpretação de texto | Reading comprehension](https://dicasdoenem.com.br/imagens/03/0305c703c5f50b5b4899860697e917dfffb1210deb234db7dd64362a77a0a89a.png)
- **D)** It’s a classic hero’s quest tale - a sort of ancient Greek
 mission impossible - in which the hero embarks on
 a sea voyage into an unknown land, with a great
 task to achieve. Jason’s journey was seen by the
 ancient Greeks as the first long-distance voyage
 ever undertaken. Historically, once the Greeks
 learned to sail into the Black Sea they embarked on
 a period of colonisation lasting some 3.000 years. (WOOD, Michael. Jason and the Golden Fleece.17 February
