The following text is for questions \(1\) to \(3\).

Announcement Due to extreme weather, our school is closing \(4\) hours earlier, at \(11.00\) a.m. If you pick up your child, please be at school no later than \(10.30\) a.m. Buses will follow their normal routes. |
\(1\). Why will the school be closing earlier?
| A. | There are fewer school activities. |
| B. | There is a threat of terrible weather. |
| C. | Parents want to pick up their children soon. |
| D. | School buses have new routes and schedules. |
Jawaban & Analisa
Jawaban: B
Analisa detail:
A. Tidak didukung teks. Pengumuman tidak menyebut kegiatan sekolah berkurang.
B. Tepat. Alasan penutupan lebih awal dinyatakan langsung: “Due to extreme weather…”. Ini berarti ada ancaman/cuaca buruk yang menjadi penyebab utama.
C. Terbalik sebab-akibat. Orang tua diminta menjemput lebih awal karena sekolah tutup lebih cepat, bukan sekolah tutup karena orang tua ingin menjemput.
D. Salah. Teks justru menyatakan “Buses will follow their normal routes”, artinya rute bus tetap normal.
\(2\). What time will classes be over?
| A. | \(10.30\) a.m. |
| B. | \(11.00\) a.m. |
| C. | \(03.00\) p.m. |
| D. | \(04.00\) p.m. |
Jawaban & Analisa
Jawaban: B
Analisa detail:
A. \(10.30\) a.m. adalah batas waktu orang tua harus sudah di sekolah (“no later than \(10.30\) a.m.”), bukan waktu kelas selesai.
B. Tepat. Pengumuman menyebut sekolah tutup lebih awal “at \(11.00\) a.m.” sehingga kelas berakhir pada waktu itu.
C. Tidak ada pada teks. Ini hanya pilihan pengecoh.
D. Tidak ada pada teks. Ini juga pengecoh.
\(3\). “Due to extreme weather, …” The underlined word is closest in meaning to ….
| A. | mild |
| B. | warm |
| C. | pleasant |
| D. | severe |
Jawaban & Analisa
Jawaban: D
Analisa detail:
A. “Mild” berarti ringan/lembut, berlawanan dengan “extreme”.
B. “Warm” berarti hangat, bukan tingkat keparahan cuaca.
C. “Pleasant” berarti menyenangkan, berlawanan konteks karena sekolah justru tutup lebih awal.
D. Tepat. “Extreme” dalam konteks cuaca berarti sangat parah/berat, paling dekat dengan “severe”.

L5 Sumatra Street Amsterdam, Netherland. \(24\) January \(2016\) Dear Edo, Thanks for your letter. How’s everything going? The school here has begun and I miss my summer. I spent my summer holiday at a camp. There was nothing interesting at home so I went to the beach with friends. We had a wonderful time there. We played volleyball, went swimming, and sunbathed. We had various programmes at the beach camp. I met a lot of friends there. Well, I want to know about your summer holiday, too. Tell me about it. I am looking forward to your reply. Best wishes, Julia |
\(4\). Why was Julia happy at the beach?
| A. | She met Edo at the beach camp. |
| B. | There was nothing to do at home. |
| C. | She did many activities at the beach. |
| D. | She planned many programmes at the beach. |
Jawaban & Analisa
Jawaban: C
Analisa detail:
A. Salah. Teks menyebut Julia menulis kepada Edo dan “I met a lot of friends there”, bukan bertemu Edo.
B. Itu alasan Julia pergi ke pantai (“There was nothing interesting at home”), tetapi bukan inti yang menunjukkan ia bahagia di pantai.
C. Tepat. Julia bahagia karena banyak kegiatan: “We played volleyball, went swimming, and sunbathed.” Ini menunjukkan aktivitas beragam dan menyenangkan.
D. Tidak didukung. Teks mengatakan “We had various programmes…”, bukan Julia yang merencanakan program-program itu.
\(5\). From the text above we can conclude that Julia ….
| A. | had a holiday with Edo |
| B. | spent her holiday at home |
| C. | enjoyed her summer holiday |
| D. | asked Edo to spend a holiday together |
Jawaban & Analisa
Jawaban: C
Analisa detail:
A. Salah. Julia pergi ke pantai “with friends”, bukan dengan Edo.
B. Salah. Justru disebut “There was nothing interesting at home so I went to the beach…”.
C. Tepat. Indikatornya jelas: “We had a wonderful time there.” dan daftar aktivitas menyenangkan, menunjukkan ia menikmati liburan.
D. Tidak tepat. Julia meminta Edo bercerita tentang liburannya (“Tell me about it”), bukan mengajak liburan bersama.
