Dúvidas de leitores - 3

Boa tarde a todos.
Recebi, nestes 2 últimos dias, 4 pedidos de envio de gabarito de um exercício que criei aqui no blog em 2009 e até hoje recebe muitos acessos.

Bom, como já falei aqui, não gosto de postar gabaritos e esta será a única exceção, ou seja, não irei mais colocar gabaritos.
Parece uma frase meio ranzinza minha mas, pelo contrário, meu objetivo é, sempre, corrigir e explicar quaisquer dúvidas em exercícios. Entretanto, se a pessoa, já com a certeza de ter o gabarito, acerta uma questão sem muita convicção e passa adiante, ela pode, de fato, não ter assimilado bem aquele assunto. Isso acontece muito !
Façam os exercícios e não "chutem" respostas que eu corrijo e explico com prazer.

Eis o link do exercício:

E a correção:

Grupos de 3 linhas:
Primeira linha - Frase errada
Segunda - Certa
Terceira - Motivo
