TSAR ALEXANDER II
By Mark Seaman
(Historical Note: Serfdom [servidão] was a feudal system where laborers known as serfs [servos] were legally bound to work a lord's estate, trading their freedom of movement and labor for protection and a small plot of land. They were not personal property like slaves, but they could not leave the land, often passing this involuntary, hereditary status to their children.)
Though he was known as “Alexander the Liberator” for having abolished serfdom in the Russian Empire in 1861, there were so many attempts to assassinate Tsar Alexander II that he developed a reputation as a one-man disaster area. To be anywhere in his vicinity was felt to be so hazardous [perigosa] that the citizens of St. Petersburg would not buy tickets for the opera unless they were given an assurance that the Tsar would not be attending the performance. Finally, in March 1881, the assassins succeeded. A bomb was thrown at the Imperial carriage and exploded, injuring a child and a Cossack guardsman but leaving the Tsar unharmed. Alexander ordered his carriage to stop and went to comfort the wounded man, but then a second bomb was flung. This time twenty spectators were killed and the Tsar was almost blown in half. He died about an hour later.
Adapted from the book The Rest is History.
According to the information in the article, which of the following probably most contributed to Alexander II's death on that day in March 1881?
- Alternativa A: The Tsar had neglected to bring along the standard number of guards to protect him and his entourage.
- Alternativa B: It was an unlucky coincidence that two different revolutionary factions had showed up to assassinate the Tsar.
- Alternativa C: Once again the Tsar and his family had trusted the wrong people.
- Alternativa D, a correta: The Tsar was concerned about the health of a member of his entourage.Resposta
- Alternativa E: This was the first time that bombs had been used to assassinate anyone in the Russian Empire.
O que a questão pede:
O que mais contribuiu para a morte de Alexandre II naquele dia de março de 1881.
Onde está no texto:
A primeira bomba explodiu, feriu uma criança e um guarda cossaco, e deixou o czar ileso. Alexandre mandou parar a carruagem e desceu para consolar o ferido. Foi aí que a segunda bomba o atingiu.
Por que é a letra D:
O czar se preocupou com a saúde de um membro da comitiva (o guarda cossaco ferido). Se não tivesse parado para socorrê-lo, provavelmente teria escapado, como escapou da primeira bomba. A preocupação com o ferido foi o que o expôs.
Por que as outras não:
- A fala de guardas a menos. O texto não diz quantos guardas havia.
- B fala de duas facções diferentes. O texto fala de duas bombas, não de dois grupos.
- C fala de confiar nas pessoas erradas. O texto não fala de traição.
- E diz que foi a primeira vez que se usaram bombas. O texto não diz isso.
A armadilha:
A letra B soa como uma explicação histórica e usa as duas bombas do texto, mas acrescenta os "dois grupos". O texto só conta que houve uma segunda bomba.
