The Parintins Folklore Festival in Amazonas announced that Boi Caprichoso won its 23rd title in 2018—against 31 for its rival, Boi Garantido. Since the end of the event, I haven't stopped singing two songs I learned at the Bumbódromo (the arena where the spectacle takes place). I alternate between "my love, I am happy, my country is blue," obviously from the blue ox, Caprichoso; and "the corral turned red, the ideology turned red," from the red ox, Garantido. This alternation would be forbidden in Parintins, a city so divided between the oxen's supporters. In Parintins, you have to take a side. There are those who try to escape and say they are "garanchoso," with whom I identified, but these are viewed with a certain disdain.
The appropriation of elements such as rivalry, competitiveness, cheering, and war cries by the Parintins festival highlights the

Analysis of the Text about the Parintins Festival
The correct answer is option A. D) The connection between folkloric expression and sport.
1. The "Sportification" of a Folkloric Manifestation
The text describes the Parintins Festival using a set of elements and language that are characteristic of the world of sports. The question asks to identify what the appropriation of these elements reveals.
The elements mentioned are:
- Rivalry and Competitiveness: The event is not just a presentation, but a direct competition between two sides, with a count of titles ("23rd title — against the opponent's 31"). This mirrors the logic of a sporting championship. * Fans: The text explicitly mentions "oxen's cheering sections" and the need to "take a side," describing a social division identical to the rivalry between football teams in a city. * War cries: The songs mentioned function as chants from fans, exalting the color and identity of their "team" ("my country is blue" / "the corral turned red").
The combination of these elements — competition, organized fan groups, and chants of support — constitutes a process of "sportification," in which a folkloric cultural manifestation adopts characteristics and structures from the world of sports to organize and present itself.
