Flooding hits parts of Midwest, with evacuations in Michigan

    People living along two mid-Michigan lakes and parts of a river were evacuated Tuesday following several days of heavy rain that produced flooding and put pressure on dams in the area.

    Two Midland-area schools were opened for evacuees and more than 50 roads have been closed. The evacuations in Michigan followed days of heavy rains in parts of the Midwest that also brought flooding to Chicago and other parts of Illinois, as well as Ohio and other states.

“We were laying in bed when I heard sirens,” Jon St. Croix told the Midland Daily News. “A fire truck was driving around, broadcasting that (we needed) to evacuate. It’s a scary thing — you’re sleeping and awake to sirens.”

    St. Croix, 62, his wife and a next-door neighbor were among more than a dozen people sheltering in one of the schools. Their home was not flooded, but St. Croix said he had seen flooding in the area.

    Volunteers at the schools said about 120 vehicles were in the parking lots and about 30 people had been staying on cots inside, according to WNEM-TV.

Gabarito: D

Comentários

• Ao ler o texto, percebemos que podemos eliminar as alternativas da seguinte maneira:

  a) The schools were working despite the evacuations. -> Não. As escolas não estavam funcionando apesar da evacuação em massa e isso fica mais fácil de perceber associando alguns fatos, como, por exemplo: o homem que acordou com as sirenes. A sutileza estar em associar: acordar do sono (período noturno) e escolas funcionando (período diurno)

  b) Durante a noite, não houve avisos. Perceba que o modo como o homem acorda remete surpresa. Caso o aviso fosse dado, claramente não haveria tanto espanto.

  c) Não percebi a citações de mortes no texto. Caso alguém tenha percebido, por favor, comentar. O que analisei foi que muitos voluntários estiveram dispostos, o que é a lógica em uma situação como a abordada.

  d) Nosso gabarito. Reparamos que os residentes de várias áreas, incluindo as áreas que possuem os lagos, foram "obrigadas" a saírem de suas casas, por conta da tempestade.

  Gab: D
