So here I am, upside down in a woman. Arms patiently crossed, waiting, waiting and wondering who I’m in,what I’m in for. My eyes close nostalgically when I remember how I once drifted in my translucent body bag, floated dreamily in the bubble of my thoughts through my private ocean in slowmotion somersaults, colliding gently against the transparent bounds of my confinement, the confiding membrane that vibrated with, even as it muffled, the voices of conspirators in a vile enterprise. That was in my careless youth. Now, fully inverted, not an inch of space to myself, knees crammed against belly, my thoughts as well as my head are fully engaged. I’ve no choice, my ear is pressed all day and night against the bloody walls. I listen, make mental notes, and I’m troubled. I’m hearing pillow talk of deadly intent and I’m terrified by what awaits me, by what might draw me in.
I’m immersed in abstractions, and only the proliferating relations between them create the illusion of a known world. When I hear “blue,” which I’ve never seen, I imagine some kind of mental event that’s fairly close to “green”—which I’ve never seen. I count myself an innocent, unburdened by allegiances and obligations, a free spirit, despite my meagre living room. No one to contradict or reprimand me, no name or previous address, no religion, no debts, no enemies. My appointment diary, if it existed, notes only my forthcoming birthday. I am, or I was, despite what the geneticists are now saying, a blank slate. 9But a slippery, porous slate no school-room or cottage roof could find use for, a slate that writes upon itself as it grows by the day and becomes less blank. I count myself an innocent, but it seems I’m party to a plot. My mother, bless her 10unceasing, loudly squelching heart, seems to be involved.
Consider these possible meanings of the word slate:
I. A piece of rock laminated into shingles, used for roofing or siding.
II. A tablet used for writing on.
III. A list of candidates for nomination or election.
Which of these can define the word slate as it is used on the second paragraph?
a) Only I.
b) Only II.
c) Only III.
d) Only I e II.
e) I, II e III.

O uso de I está em "a slippery, porous slate no school-room or cottage roof could find use for", que significa "uma ardósia escorregadia e porosa que não serviria para nenhum telhado de sala de aula ou casa de campo".
O uso de II está em "a slate that writes upon itself as it grows by the day and becomes less blank", que significa "uma lousa que escreve sobre si mesma à medida que cresce a cada dia e fica menos vazia".
Não há nada no sentido de III.
