TEXT V
Oh, I’ve just come from the land of the sun
From a war that must be won
In the name of truth
With our soldiers so brave
5 Your freedom we will save
With our rifles and grenades
And some help from God
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
10 I’ve got to go home
I’ve been so alone you see
You just can’t believe
The joy I did receive
When I finally got my leave
15 And I was going home
Oh, I flew through the sky
My convictions could not lie
For my country I would die
And I will see it soon
20 When I walked through the door
My wife she laid upon the floor
And with tears her eyes were sore
I did not know why
Then I looked into her hand
25 And I saw the telegram
Said that I was a brave, brave man
But that I was dead
(SUMMER, Bernard; GILBERT, Gillian; HOOK, Peter; MORRIS, Stephen. Lyrics to Love Vigilantes, performed by New Order, Low Life CD, track 1, Universal Music Publishing Group, 1986. Taken from https://lyricfind.com)

Resolução comentada
Corretas: II e III.
II: 'must be won', 'my leave' e 'I've got to go home' indicam que o soldado foi convocado, e o gabarito considera a afirmativa correta. III: a linha 4 ('With our soldiers so brave') é frase sem verbo, com partes da oração omitidas. I está errada porque a guerra segue em andamento. IV está errada porque 'have' é auxiliar padrão. V está errada porque 'convictions' é traduzido como 'convicções', logo não é falso cognato.
Análise das alternativas
A) Errada: I é falsa. B) Errada: I e V são falsas. D) Errada: IV é falsa.
