The history of modern-day soccer was established in 1863. In October 1863, eleven representatives
from London clubs and schools met at the Freemason’s Tavern to set up common fundamental rules
to control the matches amongst themselves. The outcome of this meeting was the formation of the
Football Association. In December 1863, the Rugby Football and Football Association finally split as
the supporters of the Rugby School rules walked in.
- A)up
- B)to
- C)amongst
- D)outcome
- E)in
Resposta:
A alternativa correta é E)
O termo cujo emprego está incorreto é "in". Na frase "the supporters of the Rugby School rules walked in", o verbo "walked" exige a preposição "out" para formar o phrasal verb "walked out", que significa "sair abruptamente" ou "abandonar". O uso de "in" altera completamente o sentido, tornando a construção gramaticalmente inadequada para o contexto, que descreve uma separação entre as associações de rugby e futebol.
Os demais termos estão empregados corretamente: "set up" (estabelecer), "to" (para, indicando finalidade), "amongst" (entre, no sentido de entre grupos) e "outcome" (resultado) estão semanticamente e gramaticalmente apropriados no texto.
