TEXT II
Count on Me – Bruno Mars
If you ever find yourself stuck¹ in the middle of the sea,
I’ll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can’t see,
I’ll be the light to guide you
5 Find out² what we’re made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
You can count on me like one, two, three
I’ll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like
10 Four, three, two
And you’ll be there
Cause that’s what friends are supposed to do
Oh yeah

Resolução comentada
Referência do pronome 'it' na linha 9.
No verso 'I know when I need it I can count on you', 'it' retoma a ajuda que o amigo oferece nos versos anteriores ('help our friends in need', 'I'll be there'). Portanto, 'it' refere-se à ajuda do amigo.
Análise das alternativas
A) 'A friend in need' é uma pessoa, e 'it' não se refere a pessoas. C) A contagem 'one, two, three' é figurada, e não há calculadora. D) 'Himself' seria um pronome reflexivo e não equivale a 'it'.
Referência: Reference words / pronouns.
