Nobel Peace Prize Awarded to Three Activist Women
More than 250 people were nominated for the prize this
year, and there had been speculation that the committee
would reward activists from the Middle East who used social
networking sites and other Internet platforms as they
challenged entrenched dictatorships.
But if the committee had singled out the Arab Spring, it
could have courted criticism that, far from rewarding efforts
toward peace, it had chosen a phenomenon whose final
outcome in Egypt and Tunisia is far from clear, and which
has provoked bloodletting and strife in Libya, Syria, Yemen
and Bahrain.
Mr. Jagland said the 2011 prize recognized those “who were
there long before the world’s media was there reporting.”
The announcement in the Norwegian capital followed
intense speculation that the prize would be awarded
variously to a figure from the Arab Spring, the European
Union or exclusively to Mrs. Johnson Sirleaf, 72, a Harvardeducated economist, who has often been cast as a pioneer
in African politics.
She was broadly perceived as a reformer and peacemaker
when she took office after several years in exile.
In Yemen, Ms. Karman has been widely known as a vocal
opponent of the pro-American regime of Mr. Saleh since
2007, leading a human rights advocacy group called
Women Journalists Without Chains. But it was only earlier
this year that her readiness to take to the streets inspired
thousands more in Yemen to do the same.
In Liberia, Ms. Gbowee, 39, was cited by the Nobel
committee for uniting Christian and Muslim women against
her country’s warlords. As head of the Women for Peace
movement, she was praised for mobilizing women “across
ethic and religious dividing lines to bring an end to the long
war” that had raged for years in Liberia until its end in 2003
and for ensuring “women’s participation in elections.”

Gabarito comentado
D
Daniel Barcellos Monitor com apoio de IA
Gabarito: A
Fundamento decisivo: A resposta decorre da identificação de informação explícita no trecho “Ms. Gbowee, 39, was cited by the Nobel committee for uniting Christian and Muslim women against her country’s warlords”: o elemento decisivo é “uniting Christian and Muslim women”, que corresponde à ideia de unir grupos de diferentes backgrounds religiosos, levando ao acerto da alternativa A.
Tema central: informação explícita no texto
Análise das alternativas
A
Certa
A alternativa A está correta porque parafraseia com fidelidade a informação central do excerto: Ms. Gbowee foi reconhecida por “uniting Christian and Muslim women against her country’s warlords”. O núcleo decisivo é o verbo “uniting”, reproduzido por “unite”, e a referência a “Christian and Muslim women”, que corresponde a grupos de backgrounds religiosos distintos. O apoio em “across ethic and religious dividing lines” reforça que a atuação consistiu em superar divisões religiosas, não em criar conflito entre elas.
B
Errada
Está errada porque inverte o fato textual. O texto diz que Ms. Gbowee uniu mulheres cristãs e muçulmanas “against her country’s warlords”; portanto, o alvo comum eram os warlords, não um grupo religioso contra o outro. Além disso, não há qualquer menção a luta por independência.
C
Errada
Está errada porque atribui atuação solitária a Ms. Gbowee. O excerto destaca mobilização coletiva: ela uniu mulheres cristãs e muçulmanas e foi elogiada por mobilizar mulheres “across ethic and religious dividing lines”. O texto não afirma que ela enfrentou os warlords sozinha.
D
Errada
Está errada porque confunde união em torno de uma causa comum com adoção de uma mesma fé. O texto fala em unir cristãs e muçulmanas contra os warlords, não em fazê-las compartilhar uma religião única. Não há no excerto qualquer dado sobre conversão ou fusão de crenças.
E
Errada
Está errada porque transforma resultado concreto em aspiração futura. O texto afirma que Ms. Gbowee foi elogiada por assegurar “women’s participation in elections”, isto é, por promover participação efetiva das mulheres nas eleições. Isso exclui a ideia de sufrágio como simples sonho a perseguir no futuro.
Pegadinha da questão
A banca explorou a confusão entre unir grupos religiosos para uma ação comum e colocá-los em confronto, além de tentar trocar atuação concreta por mudança de fé ou por promessa futura de direitos.
Dica para questões semelhantes
- Localize primeiro o trecho exato que contém o verbo da pergunta e compare esse verbo com o da alternativa.
- Leia o complemento da ação com atenção: em “against her country’s warlords”, ele define contra quem era a mobilização.
- Aceite paráfrase quando o sentido for equivalente, mesmo sem repetição literal, desde que o texto a sustente diretamente.
- Elimine alternativas que acrescentem elemento não mencionado no excerto, como independência, ação solitária, conversão religiosa ou futuro hipotético.
