TEXT III
On Children – Kalil Gibran
And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said,
Speak to us of Children.
05 And he said:
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you and yet they belong not to
10 you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you
15 cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not make them like
you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows
20 are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and
He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift
and far.
Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;
25 For even He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the
bow that is stable.

Resolução comentada
Os pais abrigam o corpo dos filhos, mas não podem impor sua vontade ao espírito deles.
O trecho diz que os pais podem abrigar os corpos, mas as almas vivem no futuro, que eles não podem visitar. Os pais, mesmo sendo parentes biológicos, não podem impor suas vontades aos filhos.
Análise das alternativas
A está errada porque os filhos não são propriedade dos pais. B está errada porque o texto não fala de geração "diferente" ou estranha. D está errada porque o trecho não compara oportunidades nem fala de sonhar mais.
Referência: Gibran, "On Children"; interpretação de texto poético.
