your first suggestion is certainly an improvement. the second may be better, however i chose some dramatical style on this sentence - unlike "total" and "opposition [oposição]", by changing the order of the two words, because our brain immediately captures the meaning right from "caso [in case (literally)]". However an far more important principle arises here: be as short as possible; since "ele [he]" can be removed therefore it must be removed. i'll send the corrected file.
