NFL Supports Fight Against Breast Cancer
The National Football League (NFL) is joining the American
Cancer Society (ACS) to raise awareness about the
importance of breast screenings and to raise money to help
fight breast cancer.
NFL players, coaches and referees will wear pink during the
month of October to remind women about the importance of
getting mammograms and clinical breast exams to find
breast cancer early, when it’s easier to treat. The program,
A Crucial Catch: Annual Screening Saves Lives, is timed to
coincide with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The American Cancer Society recommends women 40 and
older have a mammogram and clinical breast exam every
year, and younger women have clinical breast exams
periodically as well.
Hats, wristbands and other apparel worn at NFL games, and
special footballs and pink coins will be auctioned off and
proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society. Fans
attending games are encouraged to wear pink.
The NFL also has a Web page where clubs and fans can
register teams to participate in the American Cancer Society
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. This
noncompetitive, inspirational event raises awareness and
funds to help end breast cancer by finding cures and
supporting programs and services for all people facing the
disease.
Additionally, the Society’s advocacy affiliate, the American
Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN), is
participating in Crucial Catch by encouraging Congress to
allocate more funding for cancer research.

Gabarito comentado
C
Célia MontalvãoMonitor com apoio de IA
Gabarito: E
Fundamento decisivo: O trecho decisivo é “Fans attending games are encouraged to wear pink.”: ele indica incentivo aos fãs presentes aos jogos, não obrigação universal, nem item específico, uniforme ou roupa feminina; por isso a alternativa correta é a que melhor preserva esse sentido recomendatório, a E.
Tema central: incentivo aos fãs
Análise das alternativas
A
Errada
Está errada porque transforma a menção a “Hats, wristbands and other apparel worn at NFL games...” em uma lista cumulativa do que cada fã usará. O texto apenas menciona itens ligados à campanha e aos jogos; não afirma que todo fã usará chapéu, pulseira e outros itens ao mesmo tempo.
B
Errada
Está errada porque mistura dois planos distintos do texto: jogadores, técnicos e árbitros “will wear pink”, enquanto os fãs presentes aos jogos apenas “are encouraged to wear pink”. A alternativa ainda universaliza “every football fan”, quando o texto restringe a referência a “fans attending games”.
C
Errada
Está errada porque introduz um elemento inexistente no texto: uso de “football player’s uniform” pelos fãs. O enunciado não fala em uniforme de jogador; fala apenas em usar rosa.
D
Errada
Está errada porque acrescenta “women’s clothes” sem apoio textual. O trecho relevante diz apenas “wear pink”, isto é, usar rosa; não há qualquer especificação de roupa feminina.
E
Certa
A alternativa E é a que mais se ajusta ao trecho decisivo “Fans attending games are encouraged to wear pink.”. O texto permite concluir que os fãs, ao comparecerem aos jogos, são incentivados a usar rosa. Isso sustenta a referência a pink clothes and other apparel at games e preserva o caráter não absoluto da informação. Embora “if possible” não apareça literalmente, essa formulação aproxima o sentido recomendatório de “encouraged to”, sem transformar o enunciado em imposição.
Pegadinha da questão
A banca explora a confusão entre recomendação e obrigação: o texto diz que os fãs que vão aos jogos são encorajados a usar rosa, mas várias alternativas distorcem isso para uso universal, item específico, uniforme ou roupa feminina.
Dica para questões semelhantes
- Em reading comprehension, diferencie verbos de recomendação como “encouraged to” de afirmações categóricas como “will wear”.
- Cheque o referente exato do grupo mencionado: “fans attending games” não equivale automaticamente a “every football fan”.
- Quando o texto diz “wear pink”, não acrescente sozinho tipo de roupa, gênero da vestimenta ou uniforme se isso não estiver expresso.
