Mark the FALSE idea from the text:
Text 2
Green sea turtle
Green sea turtles spend most of their lives
underwater, where they can rest for up to five hours at a
time before coming up for air. When active, they typically
alternate between being underwater for a few minutes and
coming up to the surface to breathe air for a few seconds.
Green sea turtles are also known to sunbathe on land.Unlike most other sea turtles, adult green sea turtles eat a
primarily plant-based diet consisting of seaweed and sea
grass. Scientists believe these green foods give the sea
turtle’s fat its green color. The shell of the green sea turtle
is usually shades of a brown or olive color.

Gabarito comentado
Resposta correta: D
Tema central: leitura e interpretação de um texto informativo curto. A prova exige identificar qual enunciado contraria a informação explícita do texto — habilidade básica em reading comprehension: localizar informação, reconhecer equivalência lexical e atenção a quantificadores (most, usually, primarily).
Resumo teórico rápido: Em textos informativos, a resposta certa para perguntas do tipo "marque a ideia falsa" é a afirmação que contradiz diretamente o que o texto afirma. Procure por palavras-chave no enunciado que correspondam a trechos do texto; trocas de sentido (por exemplo, afirmar cor diferente da apresentada) normalmente indicam a alternativa falsa.
Justificativa da alternativa D (por que é falsa): O texto afirma que "The shell of the green sea turtle is usually shades of a brown or olive color." Ou seja, o casco é geralmente marrom ou oliva. A alternativa D diz que "The shell of the green turtle is green", o que contradiz textualmente a informação. Portanto D é a falsa.
Análise das demais alternativas (por que são verdadeiras segundo o texto):
A) "Underwater is where the green turtles live more than half of their lives." — O texto diz que they "spend most of their lives underwater". "Most" significa mais da metade; portanto a ideia é verdadeira.
B) "Usually a green turtle alternates between being underwater and up to the surface." — Corresponde ao trecho that they "typically alternate between being underwater for a few minutes and coming up to the surface to breathe". A alternativa é uma paráfrase correta.
C) "The diet of a green turtle in adult life is composed by seaweed and sea grass." — O texto afirma que adults eat a "primarily plant-based diet consisting of seaweed and sea grass". Alternativa verdadeira.
E) "Scientists say that the fat of a green turtle is green because of the kind of food it eats." — O texto: "Scientists believe these green foods give the sea turtle’s fat its green color." Equivalente, logo verdadeira.
Dicas de estratégia para provas: leia primeiro a pergunta; sublinhe palavras-chave no texto; compare literalmente com as alternativas — cuidado com palavras que mudam o sentido (always, never, most, usually). Em "falso/verdadeiro" prefira o confronto direto com o texto, não suposições externas.
Fonte de apoio: trecho baseado em National Geographic Kids (informação citada no enunciado).
