How World Leaders Reacted to Trump at the U.N.
By SOMINI SENGUPTA and MEGAN SPECIA SEPT. 23, 2017
He was called a “giant gold Goliath” and a “rogue newcomer.” But in a few corners the remarks made by President
Trump at the United Nations were described as “courageous” and “gratifying.”
Throughout the week, Mr. Trump’s first address to the General Assembly drew many direct and indirect swipes, from
allies and rivals alike, and sparse support.
While the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, attacked Mr. Trump from afar — calling him a “dotard” in a statement on
North Korean national television — others used their platforms at the United Nations to respond.
Some leaders were more subtle than others.
Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe’s 93-year-old president, took aim at Mr. Trump during his own speech on Thursday. Mr.
Mugabe mocked Mr. Trump as a “giant gold Goliath” and said other nations were “embarrassed if not frightened” by his
statements about North Korea.
“Are we having a return of Goliath to our midst, who threatens the extinction of other countries?” Mr. Mugabe asked.
Some responded with applause to his reference to the biblical character who threatened the Israelites before being slain
by the young shepherd David, who would become king.
Mr. Mugabe then went on to address Mr. Trump directly, telling him to “blow your trumpet in a musical way towards the
values of unity, peace, cooperation, togetherness and dialogue which we have always stood for.”
During his speech, Mr. Trump notably omitted any talk of climate change, seen as one of the most pressing issues
for many world leaders.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada received the longest applause during his General Assembly speech on
Thursday after an implicit dig at Mr. Trump.
“There is no country on the planet that can walk away from the challenge and reality of climate change,” Mr.
Trudeau said, referring to Mr. Trump’s plans to pull out of the Paris climate accord.

Gabarito comentado
Tema central da questão: Voz Ativa e Voz Passiva (Active and Passive Voice) em Inglês. O objetivo é transformar uma frase da voz ativa para a voz passiva, mantendo o sentido e regras gramaticais corretas.
Conceitos essenciais: Na voz ativa, o sujeito realiza a ação (Mr. Trump omitted any talk of climate change). Na voz passiva, o foco passa para o objeto que sofre a ação (Any talk of climate change was omitted by Mr. Trump).
Procedimento para transformação:
- Identifique o objeto direto da frase ativa e torne-o o sujeito da passiva.
- Use o verbo to be no mesmo tempo do verbo original (aqui, was para o passado simples).
- Adicione o particípio passado do verbo principal (omitted).
- Inclua o agente da ação com by, caso seja necessário (by Mr. Trump).
- Mantenha advérbios na posição correta (notably).
Análise da alternativa correta:
A) Any talk of climate change was notably omitted by Mr. Trump.
Segue fielmente todas as etapas, mantendo tempo verbal (passado), concordância, ordem e significado da sentença.
Por que as demais alternativas estão erradas?
- B) Usa were (plural), mas o sujeito é singular (any talk). Além disso, not omitted inverte o sentido.
- C) Utiliza is (presente), porém o verbo original está no passado (omitted).
- D) Novamente flexão plural (are) para sujeito singular e tempo verbal no presente, ambos incompatíveis.
Dica de prova: Sempre verifique o tempo verbal e a concordância sujeito-verbo ao transformar frases para a voz passiva. Fique atento a detalhes sutis, como a troca de tempo verbal, número do verbo ou sentido invertido nas alternativas.
A compreensão sólida da voz ativa/passiva é crucial em concursos, pois além de gramática, avalia sua capacidade de interpretar e reescrever informações.
