🟨 The following text is reference to questions 89 and 90.
A tiny surgical robot in residence at the International Space Station completed its first surgery demo in zero gravity on Saturday. The robot, known as spaceMIRA – which stands for Miniaturized In Vivo Robotic Assistant – performed several operations on simulated tissue at the orbiting laboratory while remotely operated by multiple-area surgeons from approximately 250 miles (400 kilometers) below in Lincoln, Nebraska.
The milestone is a step forward in developing technology that could have implications not just for successful long-term human space travel, where surgical emergencies could happen, but also for establishing access to medical care in remote areas on Earth, such as in rural areas or military battlefields.
The US goal of pushing exploration deeper into space includes the possibility of journeys that could take years – a round-trip to Mars, for example, could take about two years to complete, according to NASA.
The demonstration on Saturday called for the remote surgeon to control the robots’ hands to provide tension to the simulated tissue – made of rubber bands – and use the other hand to dissect the elastic tissue with scissors. A total of six surgeons performed remote tests with the robot, and each demonstration – dissecting the correct piece of tissue under pressure, a common surgical task, was considered successful.
One of the challenges when attempting to control a robot in space from Earth is latency, or the delay between the time the command is sent and the time the robot receives IT. The delay was about 0.85 of a second, said Dr. Michael Jobst, a colorectal surgeon who was part of the demonstration with spaceMIRA on Saturday.

🟨 QUESTÃO 89.
Based on the information presented in the text, which is the main characteristic of the robot spaceMIRA?
🄰 It is a remotely controlled robot that has completed its first surgery on board the International Space Station.
🄱 It is an oversized robotic assistant that performed its first simulated operation on human tissue in space.
🄲 It is remotely controlled by a team of colorectal surgeons that were in the International Space Station.
🄳 It has rubber bands that allow more precision and fewer seconds of delay in performing the command given.
🄴 It is part of a NASA project that will take about two years to make a trip around Mars.
Gabarito: 🄰
🧭 1️⃣ Leitura orientada
O texto enfatiza duas ideias centrais: o controle remoto do robô e o fato de ele ter realizado sua primeira demonstração cirúrgica a bordo da Estação Espacial Internacional.
📝 2️⃣ Análise técnica das alternativas
(A) ✅ Correta.
Resume com precisão as duas características centrais do texto:
o robô é remotamente controlado
e completou sua primeira cirurgia demonstrativa
na Estação Espacial Internacional.
🚩 Pegadinha evitada: leitura global do texto.
(B) ❌ Incorreta.
O texto afirma que o robô é tiny,
e não oversized,
além de não mencionar tecido humano real.
🚩 Pegadinha da banca: distorção de adjetivo.
(C) ❌ Incorreta.
Os cirurgiões estavam na Terra,
não na Estação Espacial Internacional.
🚩 Pegadinha da banca: erro de localização.
(D) ❌ Incorreta.
As borrachas eram parte do tecido simulado,
não um recurso do robô para reduzir a latência.
🚩 Pegadinha da banca: confundir material com função.
(E) ❌ Incorreta.
A menção a Marte refere-se a desafios futuros da exploração espacial,
não à característica principal do robô.
🚩 Pegadinha da banca: informação periférica.
🚩 3️⃣ Armadilhas clássicas da UFPR
• Focar em detalhes secundários do texto
• Confundir local do robô com local dos médicos
• Ignorar adjetivos qualificadores essenciais
🧠 4️⃣ Resumo B3GE™ Master
✔ Robô cirúrgico de pequeno porte
✔ Controle remoto a partir da Terra
✔ Primeira demonstração bem-sucedida no espaço
🔎 Gabarito confirmado: (A)
