Comentários

• Análise das alternativas:
  
  Letters A, C and D are not correct because they do not present the meaning of the underlined words. The word showed comes from the verb to show and it means to be visible; presented comes from the verb to present and it means something was revealed; participated comes from the verb to participate and it means someone is taking part of something.
  
  As alternativas A, C e D não estão corretas pois elas não apresentam o significado da palavra sublinhada. A palavra showed vem do verbo to show e significa que algo está visível; presented vem do verbo to present e significa que algo foi revelado; participated vem do verbo to participate e significa que alguém está fazendo parte de algo.
  
  Gabarito do professor: Letra B
  
  Letter B is correct because the word happened has the same meaning of the underlined word. Took palce (to take place - infinitive) means that something happened in a given place, and happened (to happen - infinitive) has the same meaning. 
  
  A letra B está  correta pois a palavra happened apresenta o mesmo significado da palavra sublinhada. Took place (to take place - infinitivo) é usado para sinalizar que algo aconteceu em determinado lugar, e happened (to happen - infinitivo) tem o mesmo sentido.
