The Unexpected Life Lesson I Learned from Moving to NYC – by Sarah Max

 

In three days, I’ll be packing my bags to leave New York City for California. Now, to be clear, I am not a scorned ex-lover of the city, fed up with the noise, the stalled subways, or the stench of baking trash. I’m not running out of here in a huff, throwing my fist up at the bike messenger that side swiped me or the cab driver that laid on the horn as I crossed the street with a walk sign.

Gabarito

B

Comentário do professor

A autora escreve "I am not a scorned ex-lover of the city", deixando claro que sua partida não nasce de ressentimento ou desprezo pela cidade.

O adjetivo scorned transmite ideia de rejeição, desprezo ou humilhação. Em português, pode ser entendido como "desprezada" ou "ridicularizada".

Assim, a alternativa correta relaciona esse sentido a ridiculed, que corresponde à noção de alguém tratado com desdém ou zombaria.

Portanto, a frase afirma que ela não é uma ex-amante ridicularizada da cidade, tornando a alternativa B a escolha correta.
