61 –  (ESPM-2011/2-VESTIBULAR) Turning the third frame of the strip into the third conditional,we would have:

(A) “And if anything had been, by Golly, I would have beenready for it!”
(B) “And if anything happened, by Golly, I’d be ready for it!”
(C) “And if anything did, by Golly, I would be ready for it!”
(D) “And if anything had happened, by Golly, I’d be ready for it!”
(E) “And had anything happened, by Golly, I’d have been ready for it!”
  •   Gabarito E  
Turning the third frame of the strip into the third conditional,we would have:
Transformando o terceiro quadro da tira na terceira condicional, terĂ­amos:
(a) “And if anything had been, by Golly, I would have beenready for it!”
(b) “And if anything happened, by Golly, I’d be ready for it!”
(c) “And if anything did, by Golly, I would be ready for it!”
(d) “And if anything had happened, by Golly, I’d be ready for it!”
(e) “And had anything happened, by Golly, I’d have been ready for it!”

➭ Nas oraçÔes condicionais tipo 3:
1) A oração condicional "if" utiliza o "past perfect", e a oração principal utiliza o "perfect conditional".
2) Na tirinha, a IF-CLAUSE utiliza o verbo TO HAPPEN a MAIN-CLAUSE utiliza o verbo TO BE. Logo, a mesma sentença agora na 3ÂȘ condicional ficaria assim:
- “And if anything had happened, by Golly, I’d have been ready for it!”
➭ NOTAS IMPORTANTES: Segundo a banca, a resposta Ă© a alternativa (E). Entretanto, a questĂŁo deve ser anulada por dois motivos:
1) NĂŁo deveria ser omitida a conjunção IF na IF-CLAUSE da alternativa (E) dada como correta. 
2) O pronome "anything" nĂŁo pode ser posicionado entre o verbo auxiliar HAD e o PAST PERFECT na IF-CLAUSE da alternativa (E) dada como correta.

(C) somebody threw his jacket away on purpose.

(D) his room ought to be cleaner and tidier.

  •   Gabarito A  
Calvin seems to be very angry because:
Calvin parece estar muito zangado porque:
(A) he didn't expect his jacket to be in the closet.
>> ele nĂŁo esperava que sua jaqueta estivesse no armĂĄrio.
(B) he thought his favorite jacket had been stolen.
>> ele pensou que sua jaqueta favorita tinha sido roubada.
(C) somebody threw his jacket away on purpose.
>> alguĂ©m jogou sua jaqueta fora de propĂłsito.
(D) his room ought to be cleaner and tidier.
>> seu quarto deveria ser mais limpo e arrumado.
(E) no one helped him put on his clothes.
>> ninguĂ©m o ajudou a vestir suas roupas.

>> TRADUÇÃO:
[Where's my jacket? I've looked everywhere! Under the bed, over my chair... on the stairs, on the hall floor, in the kitchen... It's just not anywhere! Oh, here it is! Who put in the stupid closet?!?]
  • Where's my jacket?
  • Onde estĂĄ minha jaqueta?
  • I've looked everywhere! Under the bed, over my chair... 
  • Olhei em todos os lugares! Debaixo da cama, em cima da minha cadeira.
  • ...on the stairs, on the hall floor, in the kitchen... It's just not anywhere!
  • ... nas escadas, no chĂŁo do corredor, na cozinha ... Simplesmente nĂŁo estĂĄ em nenhum lugar!
  • Oh, here it is! Who put in the stupid closet?!?
  • Opa, aqui estĂĄ! Quem colocou no closet idiota?!?
>> IDEIA CONTEXTUAL:
  • A razĂŁo do aborrecimento do Calvin Ă© o fato de que, apĂłs ter vasculhado toda a casa em busca da jaqueta, ele foi encontrĂĄ-la dentro do "closet" (armĂĄrio), ironicamente o Ășltimo local onde esperava que ela estivesse.
