The following text is for questions number \(11\) to \(13\).
It was about 7.00 p.m. I was studying in my study when my brother, Yuda, suddenly vomitted.
My mother and I panicked, so we took him to the nearest clinic. When we arrived there, some nurses laid him on a strecher. They took him to the doctor’s room. Then the doctor asked some questions to my mother.
Finally, the doctor said that Yuda would be fine by dinner time. He told Yuda to eat nutritious food. The food had to contain carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. My mother looked very relieved because Yuda was not seriously ill.
\(11\). When did Yuda vomit?
| A. in the morning |
| B. in the afternoon |
| C. in the evening |
| D. after dinner |
Lihat Jawaban dan Analisis
Jawaban: C. in the evening
Analisis: Pada bacaan tertulis “It was about 7.00 p.m.” yang menunjukkan waktunya malam (evening). Jadi waktu Yuda muntah adalah in the evening.
\(12\). What did the doctor do after examined Yuda?
| A. He asked some questions to mother |
| B. He brought Yuda to the treatment room |
| C. He asked Yuda to eat nutritious food |
| D. He asked the nurse to lay him down |
Lihat Jawaban dan Analisis
Jawaban: C. He asked Yuda to eat nutritious food
Analisis: Setelah pemeriksaan, bacaan menyebutkan: “He told Yuda to eat nutritious food.” Jadi tindakan dokter setelah memeriksa Yuda adalah menyuruh Yuda makan makanan bergizi. Pilihan A terjadi sebelumnya (“Then the doctor asked some questions to my mother”), sedangkan B dan D tidak disebutkan.
\(13\). The main idea of the last paragraph is that ....
| A. Yuda will be fine |
| B. he has to eat good food |
| C. mother feels happy |
| D. Yuda need carbohydrates |
Lihat Jawaban dan Analisis
Jawaban: A. Yuda will be fine
Analisis: Kalimat pembuka paragraf terakhir menegaskan ide utama: “Finally, the doctor said that Yuda would be fine by dinner time.” Kalimat-kalimat berikutnya (tentang makanan bergizi dan ibu yang lega) hanya mendukung alasan bahwa Yuda tidak parah. Jadi gagasan utamanya adalah Yuda akan baik-baik saja.

14. “He gulped down the tea without realizing that it was very hot, …” (Paragraph 2)
The word it refers to ….
A. the tongue
B. the toast
C. the tea
D. the coffee
Jawaban & Analisa Soal 14
Jawaban: C
Analisa detail: Kata it muncul pada frasa “the tea … without realizing that it was very hot”. Rujukan kata ganti tersebut harus kembali ke kata benda yang baru saja disebut sebelum kata ganti muncul, yaitu “the tea”. Jadi, it merujuk pada “the tea”.
Analisa tiap opsi:
A. Tidak tepat, “the tongue” baru disebut setelahnya pada “it burnt his tongue”, dan yang “very hot” adalah minumannya, bukan lidah.
B. Tidak tepat, “the toast” tidak pernah disebut dalam teks.
C. Tepat, karena “the tea” adalah objek yang diminum dan dijelaskan “very hot”.
D. Tidak tepat, “the coffee” tidak pernah disebut dalam teks.
15. What happened with the boy when he got his breakfast?
A. His breakfast was not ready.
B. He did not prepare it.
C. He burned his toast.
D. He hurt his tongue.
Jawaban & Analisa Soal 15
Jawaban: D
Analisa detail: Saat sarapan, teks menyatakan: “He gulped down the tea … it was very hot, so it burnt his tongue.” Artinya kejadian yang dialami anak itu ketika sarapan adalah lidahnya terbakar/terluka karena teh yang sangat panas.
Analisa tiap opsi:
A. Tidak tepat, tidak ada informasi bahwa sarapannya belum siap.
B. Tidak tepat, teks tidak membahas siapa yang menyiapkan sarapan; yang diceritakan adalah ia meminum teh.
C. Tidak tepat, “toast” tidak disebut sama sekali dalam bacaan.
D. Tepat, karena dinyatakan eksplisit “it burnt his tongue”.
16. The text tells us about the boy’s ….
A. good day
B. lucky day
C. bad day
D. fine day
Jawaban & Analisa Soal 16
Jawaban: C
Analisa detail: Sejak awal bacaan disebutkan “the day was going to be unlucky day for him”, lalu beruntun terjadi hal buruk: ia terpeleset sabun, lidahnya terbakar oleh teh panas, dan ia ketinggalan bus sehingga akan terlambat dan dimarahi guru. Rangkaian peristiwa ini menunjukkan hari yang buruk.
Analisa tiap opsi:
A. Tidak tepat, isi cerita tidak menggambarkan hari yang baik; justru dipenuhi kejadian sial.
B. Tidak tepat, “unlucky day” disebutkan langsung, kebalikan dari “lucky”.
C. Tepat, karena tema utama adalah hari sial/kejadian buruk yang menimpa anak itu.
D. Tidak tepat, “fine day” bermakna hari baik/menyenangkan, bertentangan dengan isi cerita.
