Questão
Living in a big city in California is ______ living in a small town, but the best is to live near one of the great beaches. The state's capital is Sacramento, but other cities are ______ Sacramento.

Identifique a sequência correta de palavras que preenche corretamente as lacunas do texto.
Alternativas
A) more beautiful - better - more famous than - as big as.
B) as big as - more beautiful - better - more famous than.
C) more famous - as big as - more beautiful than - better than.
D) better than - more famous than - as big as - more beautiful.
Explicação
Vamos preencher as lacunas observando o sentido e a gramática (comparativos e igualdade):
-
“Living in a big city in California is ______ living in a small town” Aqui há uma comparação direta entre duas formas de viver. A construção mais natural é comparativo com “than”: “better than” (melhor do que). → fica: “is better than living in a small town”
-
“but other cities are ______ Sacramento.” Agora compara “outras cidades” com Sacramento em termos de fama (não tamanho). A estrutura correta é “more famous than”. → fica: “other cities are more famous than Sacramento.”
-
“San Diego is not ______ Los Angeles” A expressão “is not ___” indica comparação de igualdade/semelhança, e a forma correta é “as + adjetivo + as”. Pelo sentido, trata-se de tamanho: → fica: “San Diego is not as big as Los Angeles”
-
“but many people think it is ______.” Depois de dizer que não é tão grande quanto, o texto diz que muitos acham que é “____”. O adjetivo que encaixa bem é “more beautiful” (mais bonita), sem “than” porque não está comparando explicitamente com algo ali (fica subentendido “mais bonita”). → fica: “many people think it is more beautiful.”
Sequência: better than – more famous than – as big as – more beautiful.
Alternativa correta: (D).
