Perguntas
Respondem-se a ouvir. Se erras, dizemos-te em que momento está.
Why does B reject the word mandate?
Response volume does not establish support — B distingue participação de apoio: houve muitas respostas, mas também objeções à proposta tal como estava.
Support for more shade does not imply support for removing the market ___.
stalls — O exemplo contrapõe um objetivo partilhado, mais sombra, e uma medida concreta, retirar as bancas do mercado.
B accuses the report writers of deliberately excluding dissent.
False — B nega expressamente essa acusação: I’m not alleging that. O problema pode resultar do método sem intenção de ocultar.
What publication approach does B recommend?
Comments plus a more precise summary — B propõe ambas as camadas: comentários sem dados identificativos e resumo que separe prioridades partilhadas de meios discutidos.
B treats the online form’s convenience as proof of equal access.
False — B diz precisamente que a conveniência para os organizadores não demonstra igualdade de acesso e propõe ouvir quem não conseguiu responder.
A concludes that the report should begin a process of ___.
deliberation — A termina com starting point for deliberation: o relatório inicia o debate, não apresenta uma decisão prévia como resultado da consulta.

Abre-a quando já tiveres tentado: lê-la antes transforma isto numa leitura.
A The consultation attracted more responses than any previous one. I'd call that a mandate for the square's redesign.
B I'd call it engagement. A mandate implies support, and plenty of respondents objected to the proposal as it stood.
A Fair enough. But even the objections suggest people regard the square as important.
B Certainly. My concern is the report's phrase broad agreement. It compresses quite different positions into something that sounds settled.
A We grouped comments by theme to make them manageable. Nobody deliberately excluded dissent.
B I'm not alleging that. A method can flatten disagreement without anyone intending it. Support for more shade, for example, doesn't amount to support for removing the market stalls.
A Then should we abandon the summary and publish every comment?
B Publish the comments with identifying details removed, but keep a summary that distinguishes shared priorities from disputed means. Readers need both.
A And acknowledge which groups we may have missed?
B Yes. An online form was convenient, but convenience for us isn't evidence of equal access. The next meeting should test whether the apparent consensus survives when people who couldn't complete the form can speak.
A So the report is a starting point for deliberation, rather than the decision dressed up as a finding.
