Trump, the man in the crowd
(By Amy Davidson.)
What is President-elect Donald Trump looking for when he talks to crowds these days? On Wednesday morning, at a fund-raiser at Cipriani on Forty-second Street, he was collecting money for his inauguration, and telling jokes about all the Republican establishment donors who were, at last, eagerly gathering around, writing checks to make the swearing-in flashy. (Cipriani’s Wall Street branch was the site of the fund-raiser where Hillary Clinton, inopportunely, referred to a “basket of deplorables”; something in the setting does not seem to summon up populism.) There will be more such gatherings; the inauguration has already raised more than fifty million dollars. But, the day before, the President-elect had also tried to restage a part of the rapidly receding past: the classic Trump rally, raising the question of what, under President Trump, it might look like to run a permanent campaign.

According to the text, President-elect:
- Held a runner-up rally.
- Was inducted into office.
- Will draft his campaign.
- Will be taking an oath.

Comentário do professor
O enunciado indica que o texto fala da arrecadação de recursos para a inauguration e menciona explicitamente a expressão “swearing‑in”, ligada a essa cerimónia.
President‑elect refere‑se ao eleito que ainda não tomou posse; a locução inglesa swearing‑in designa a cerimónia em que o titular faz o juramento antes de assumir formalmente o cargo.
Assim, a alternativa correta — que ele “will be taking an oath” — decorre diretamente do trecho: “writing checks to make the swearing‑in flashy.” Ou seja, os recursos arrecadados destinam‑se à solenidade em que o presidente eleito prestará juramento.
