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

Gabarito: D
Fundamento decisivo: O critério decisivo é a leitura literal do trecho “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.”; os elementos “women 40 and older ... every year” e “younger women ... as well” mostram que a recomendação preventiva alcança também as mulheres mais jovens, o que sustenta o gabarito D.
Tema central: recomendação preventiva por faixa etária
Análise das alternativas
A
Errada
Incorreta porque o texto não compara a probabilidade de câncer de mama entre mulheres de 40 anos ou mais e mulheres mais jovens.
B
Errada
Incorreta porque o texto afirma “every year”, isto é, exame anual, e não exame semestral.
C
Errada
Incorreta porque o texto não diz que mulheres de 40 anos ou mais precisam cuidar mais da saúde do que as mais jovens; apenas apresenta recomendações preventivas distintas.
D
Certa
A alternativa D é a única compatível com o texto: ele informa que mulheres de 40 anos ou mais devem fazer mamografia e exame clínico anualmente e que mulheres mais jovens também devem fazer exames clínicos periodicamente. Assim, ambas as faixas etárias devem estar atentas ao câncer de mama.
E
Errada
Incorreta porque o texto não menciona mulheres que tiveram câncer aconselhando mulheres que nunca tiveram a doença.
Pegadinha da questão
A questão pode induzir a ignorar o valor aditivo de “as well” e a trocar “every year” por uma frequência diferente da expressa no texto.
Dica para questões semelhantes
- Leia com atenção conectores como “as well”, pois eles ampliam a informação para além do primeiro grupo citado.
- Em questões de leitura, mantenha a frequência exatamente como aparece no texto.
- Não transforme recomendação preventiva em comparação de risco se o texto não fizer essa comparação.
