Texto 1
The fact that so few African Americans write science fiction is
perplexing since they, in a very real sense, inhabit a sci-fi nightmare
in which unseen but no less palpable acts of intolerance frustrate
their movement; official histories undo what has been done;
and technology is too often brought to bear on black bodies.
Moreover, the sublegitimate status of science fiction in literature
mirrors the subaltern position to which blacks have been relegated
throughout American history. The notion of Afrofuturism gives
rise to a troubling antinomy: can a community whose past has
been deliberately rubbed out, and whose energies have been
consumed by the search for legible traces of its history, imagine
possible futures?
(Adaptado de DERY, M. Black to the future: interviews with Samuel R. Delany, Greg Tate,
and Tricia Rose. In: ___. (Ed.) The Discourse of cyberculture. Durham; London: Duke
University Press, p. 179-222, 1994.)

“Parable of the Talents” (Octavia E. Butler)
“To survive, Let the past Teach you-- Past customs, Struggles, Leaders and thinkers. Let These Help you. Let them inspire you, Warn you, Give you strength. But beware: God is Change. Past is past. What was Cannot Come again. To survive, know the past. Let it touch you. Then let The past Go.”
(BUTLER, Octavia E. Parable of the Talents. New York, Durham and London: Open Road, 1998.)
O texto 2 toca em um aspecto central do afrofuturismo e remete ao tema do questionamento do texto 1. Assim, pode-se dizer que o poema reconhece que

Images generated with artificial intelligence (AI) are often not faithful representations of reality. The chart illustrates the level of disparity between a realistic representation of race and gender in various professions and the images generated by AI. The center line in this graph means equal representation. In one case, AI-generated images exclusively represented a certain profession as being held by white males, even though it is actually held by a range of men, women, white, and non-white people. In another case, although more than half of the people holding this position self-identified as white, AI represented it as being held solely by women who were primarily non-white.

Over the last two decades, technology companies and
policymakers warned of a “digital divide” in which poor
children could fall behind their more affluent peers without
equal access to technology. Today, with widespread internet
access and smartphone ownership, the gap has narrowed
sharply.
But with less fanfare a different division has appeared:
Across the country, poor children and adolescents are
participating far less in sports and fitness activities than more
affluent youngsters are. Call it the physical divide. Data from
multiple sources reveal a significant gap in sports participation
by income level.
A combination of factors is responsible. Spending cuts
and changing priorities at some public schools have curtailed
physical education classes and organized sports. At the same
time, privatized youth sports have become a multibilliondollar enterprise offering new opportunities — at least for
families that can afford hundreds to thousands of dollars each
season for club-team fees, uniforms, equipment, travel to
tournaments and private coaching.
“What’s happened as sports has become privatized is
that it has become the haves and have-nots,” said Jon
Solomon, editorial director for the Aspen Institute Sports and
Society Program. “Particularly for low-income kids, if they
don’t have access to sports within the school setting, where
are they going to get their physical activity?” Mr. Solomon
said. “The answer is nowhere.”

Vincent van Gogh. Salvador Dalí. Frida Kahlo. Casual perusers
of ads everywhere would be forgiven for thinking that art
galleries are enjoying some sort of golden age. The truth is less
exciting, more expensive and certainly more depressing. For
this is no ordinary art on offer; this art is “immersive”, the
latest lovechild of TikTok and enterprising warehouse
landlords. The first problem with immersive art? It's not
actually very immersive. A common trope of “immersive”
retrospectives is to recreate original pieces using gimmicky
tech. But merely aiming a projector at a blank canvas doesn’t
do much in the way of sensory stimulation. My favourite
element of an “immersive” show I have been to was their
faithful recreation of Van Gogh’s bedroom. An ambitious feat,
executed with some furniture and, of course, mutilated
pastiches of his paintings. While projectors, surround sound
and uncomfortably wacky seating are mainstays of immersive
art, there are also the VR headsets. But many exhibitions don’t
even include these with the standard ticket, so my return to
reality has twice been accompanied by an usher brandishing
a credit card machine. Sometimes these installations are so
banal and depthless, visitors have often walked through
installations entirely oblivious to whatever is happening
around them. Despite the fixation “immersive experiences”
have with novelty, the products of their labours are
remarkably similar: disappointing light shows punctuated by a
few gamified set pieces.

Consider the following propositions for
rephrasing the sentence If Galois and his
predecessors had not been obsessed with
understanding the conditions under which
an equation can be solved by radicals,
humanity’s discovery of group theory
would have been greatly delayed (l. 48-53).
I - Had Galois and his predecessors not been obsessed with understanding the conditions under which an equation can be solved by radicals, humanity’s discovery of group theory would have been greatly delayed.
II - Humanity’s discovery of group theory would have been greatly delayed had Galois and his predecessors not been obsessed with understanding the conditions under which an equation can be solved by radicals.
III- Had Galois and his predecessors been obsessed with understanding the conditions under which an equation can be solved by radicals, humanity´s discovery of group theory would not have been greatly delayed.
If applied to the text, which one(s) would be correct and keep the original meaning?

Consider the statements below.
I - By using the phrase philosophical conundrum of the highest order (l. 07-08), the author expresses ethical issues related to the relationship between mathematics and physics.
II - By stating that Mathematics is not some disembodied version of the ultimate truth (l. 18-19), the author states mathematics is fallible just like the other social sciences.
III- By using the term unequivocal (l. 42), the author states that the importance of mathematics is not under question regardless of whether people agree on its importance.
Which ones are correct according to the text?
