Gabarito

Comentário do professor

A alternativa correta emprega formas verbais e estruturas coerentes com o contexto. coming aparece no present continuous em "is coming under pressure" — expressão idiomática: come under pressure = estar sob pressão.

pledged é passado simples: "Boris Johnson promised", seguido de would para indicar futuro na oração subordinada em discurso passado ("benefits would rise").

hadn't integra o past perfect passivo em "hadn't yet been made", marcando ação anterior a outra no passado.

want está no presente simples com o sujeito we ("we want to make sure"). trying funciona como gerúndio após a locução negativa "are not about", indicando a ideia de "não estar tentando ajudar...".

asked é particípio usado para introduzir a pergunta (reporting verb em forma de particípio). making é gerúndio após welcome ("welcome making her views public"). Finalmente, look integra a expressão fixa "I look forward to", no presente simples.
