According to text II, mark the correct alternative.

Alternativa A: In the sentence “Water security is the gossamer that
links together the web of food” (lines 1 and 2), the word
“gossamer” can be correctly replaced by source with
no difference in meaning.
Alternativa B: The sentence “The volatility in food prices in 2008
should be treated as an early warning sign of what is to
come.” (lines 9 and 10) is in the passive voice. In the
active voice, it can be written like this: As an early
warning sign of what is to come should treat the
volatility in food prices in 2008.
Alternativa C: In the fragment “over the past 50 years or so” (lines 15
and 16), the expression “or so” means in an accurate
manner.
Alternativa D: In the sentence “This set of regional challenges
becomes a fast-approaching global crisis” (lines 23 and
24), the word “crisis” is in its singular form. In fact, in its
plural form, it will show the same spelling.
Alternativa E: The word “stark”, in the sentence “The financial crisis
gives us a stark warning” (lines 42 and 43), implies that
the financial crisis gives us a complete warning.
