Resolução comentada
Interpretação do texto sobre o ataque a Pearl Harbor.
O texto diz que houve uma primeira onda de ataque e, uma hora e meia depois, uma segunda, tudo em cerca de duas horas. Portanto, a base naval sofreu dois ataques em cerca de duas horas.
Análise das alternativas
A está errada: o texto fala em 'servicemen and women', ou seja, homens e mulheres mortos. B inverte os lados, pois o Japão atacou os EUA. C está errada: 183 + 170 = 353 aeronaves, e não 358.
