Soal 31
Agung : ... Send this letter today.
Secretary : Yes, Sir.
From the dialogue we know that Agung will have the letter ...
A. deliver
B. delivered
C. to deliver
D. to be delivering
E. delivering
Answer & Analysis
Correct answer: B
Main reasoning: Agung is giving an order to the secretary to send the letter. This implies Agung will not deliver it himself; he will cause someone else to do it. The correct causative pattern is “have + object + past participle”: “Agung will have the letter delivered.”
Option analysis:
A. Wrong form after “have the letter ...” because it would need “delivered” for the causative meaning.
B. Correct: “have the letter delivered” means arrange for the letter to be delivered.
C. Incorrect: “have the letter to deliver” does not match the intended meaning.
D. Incorrect and unnatural for this structure.
E. Incorrect: “have the letter delivering” is ungrammatical because the letter cannot deliver something.
Logic note: If Agung gives the order, the secretary does the action; Agung’s direct action is \( \lt \) implied.
Soal 32
Aldo : Did you attend the meeting last Monday?
Fery : I would if I had been invited.
The underlined utterance means ...
A. Fery didn't attend the meeting
B. Fery plans to attend the meeting
C. Fery knew about the meeting and he attended the meeting
D. Fery was not invited to the meeting but he came
E. Fery was invited to the meeting but he didn't come
Answer & Analysis
Correct answer: A
Main reasoning: “I would if I had been invited” is a conditional sentence showing an unreal past condition. It means: he did not attend because he was not invited. So the fact is he didn’t attend.
Option analysis:
A. Correct: he did not attend (because he was not invited).
B. Incorrect: it refers to the past meeting, not a plan.
C. Incorrect: it implies he did not attend.
D. Incorrect: it implies he would have come, but he didn’t.
E. Incorrect: the condition shows he was not invited.
Logic note: “If I had been invited” is unreal, so the real situation is “not invited”; reality is \( \gt \) the hypothetical.
Soal 33
Sherly : Bills of smoke from the forest fires in Jambi, Riau and West Kalimantan are becoming thicker and thicker. They have harmful effects on our health and daily activities.
Raissa : That's right. I think the government ... people to understand the value of forests and stop their bad habits.
The best completion is ...
A. educated
B. have educated
C. are educating
D. would educate
E. should have educated
Answer & Analysis
Correct answer: C
Main reasoning: The situation is happening now (“are becoming thicker and thicker”), and Raissa expresses what the government should be doing as an ongoing action to address the problem. The best fit among the choices is the present continuous: “are educating.”
Option analysis:
A. Simple past suggests the action is finished in the past, not suitable for an ongoing problem.
B. Present perfect is possible in some contexts, but “have educated people” sounds like the education is already completed; the problem is still continuing.
C. Correct: “are educating people” matches an ongoing effort to change habits.
D. Conditional “would” needs a condition; none is given.
E. “Should have” criticizes past failure; the utterance sounds more like a current/ongoing suggestion rather than regret about the past.
Logic note: An ongoing crisis needs ongoing action; ongoing action is \( \gt \) completed past action here.

THE RED CROSS
The Red Cross is an international organization that helps the sick, the hungry and the ...(54). It has its headquarters at Geneva in Switzerland. Its symbol is a red cross on a white flag.
The Red Cross was founded by Henry Dunant in 1863 after he had seen the terrible suffering of ...(55) soldiers. The organization helps the wounded of all armies. It does not take sides. Today it is based in more than 70 countries and ...(56) soldiers and civilians all over the world.
Soal 34
The best word for blank \( 54 \) is ...
A. victims
B. accident
C. screaming
D. suffering
E. soldiers
Answer & Analysis
Correct answer: A
Main reasoning: The structure “helps the sick, the hungry and the ...” requires a plural noun referring to people. “Victims” fits naturally as a group of people who need help. The other options are grammatically or logically unsuitable.
Option analysis:
A. Correct: “the victims” is a natural parallel to “the sick” and “the hungry.”
B. “Accident” is an event, not a group of people.
C. “Screaming” is an action, not a category of people.
D. “Suffering” is a condition, not a group of people (unless “the suffering” is used differently).
E. “Soldiers” can be helped, but the first paragraph is general about humanitarian aid, and “soldiers” is too specific (and appears in the next paragraph).
Logic note: Parallel list items should match in form; people-groups are \( \gt \) events/actions for this blank.
Soal 35
The best word for blank \( 55 \) is ...
A. dead
B. killed
C. damaged
D. destroyed
E. wounded
Answer & Analysis
Correct answer: E
Main reasoning: The next sentence says “The organization helps the wounded of all armies.” This directly supports that Henry Dunant saw the suffering of “wounded soldiers.” The word “wounded” also fits the humanitarian context.
Option analysis:
A. “Dead soldiers” cannot be helped in the same way; the focus is care for the living wounded.
B. Similar to A; “killed soldiers” is not consistent with helping the wounded.
C. “Damaged soldiers” is not the natural collocation.
D. “Destroyed soldiers” is incorrect usage.
E. Correct: it matches the following sentence and the Red Cross mission.
Logic note: Direct textual support is \( \gt \) unsupported word choices.
Soal 36
The best word for blank \( 56 \) is ...
A. cares for
B. looks for
C. asks for
D. helps for
E. gives for
Answer & Analysis
Correct answer: A
Main reasoning: The sentence needs a verb phrase that fits: “... and ___ soldiers and civilians all over the world.” “Cares for” is grammatical and matches the humanitarian mission of the Red Cross. The others are incorrect in meaning or grammar (especially “helps for” and “gives for”).
Option analysis:
A. Correct: “cares for” means looks after/provides care, appropriate for Red Cross work.
B. “Looks for” means searches for, not the intended meaning.
C. “Asks for” means requests, incorrect here.
D. Ungrammatical; we say “helps,” not “helps for.”
E. Ungrammatical; “gives for” does not fit this structure.
Logic note: Correct collocation and grammar are \( \gt \) incorrect preposition use.
Extra note: In Soal 53, the smoke is “thicker and thicker,” so urgency is \( \gt \) delay in response.
