disagree  airmailrpl: does not transmit the spirit of "Halterocopismo"...Levantamento de copo de chopp => Halterocopismo => a recognized sport in Brasil
16 hrs
  -> In the same respect as "going shopping" and "helping out with domestic chores", possible answers to the question, (A) and (C), are related to sport? In addition to that, there is no mention of "Halterocopismo" within the original Portuguese question!
