The following text is for questions 11 and 12.

I have a Hamster named Scruffy. I got him from a pet shop in the mall. I named him Scruffy, because he always scratched his cage.

Since the first time I got Scruffy, I have fallen in love with him. He is a nice hamster. I put a wheel on his cage. He loves to exercise with it. He often sleeps all day and runs on his wheel all night. That is the one I don't like. It makes me feel lonely when he sleeps all the time. But I can’t do anything because I know that hamsters are nocturnal.

I spend my spare time with Scruffy. I talk about anything to him. I feel that he could understand me.

One day, I got confused because I lost my bicycle key. I tried to find it every where, but I couldn’t find it. I got tired and sat on my bed. I talked to Scruffy. Suddenly he jumped back and forth many times. When I opened his cage he ran quickly under my bed and he came up bringing my bicycle key. I was very surprised. This made me feel sure that Scruffy understood my words.

11. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. Scruffy was nocturnal. B. Scruffy slept all the time.
C. The writer exercised Scruffy. D. The hamster found the lost key.
Jawaban & Analisa Nomor 11

Jawaban benar: D

Analisa:

Paragraf terakhir berisi kejadian inti: penulis kehilangan kunci sepeda, lalu Scruffy berlari ke bawah tempat tidur dan kembali membawa kunci itu. Jadi gagasan utama paragraf terakhir adalah hamster tersebut menemukan/mengembalikan kunci yang hilang.

A. Salah, “nocturnal” dibahas pada paragraf sebelumnya, bukan inti paragraf terakhir.

B. Salah, itu juga informasi dari paragraf sebelumnya.

C. Salah, paragraf terakhir fokus pada peristiwa menemukan kunci, bukan aktivitas olahraga.

D. Benar, paling mewakili isi paragraf terakhir.

12. What does the writer do with Scruffy in his spare time?

A. Talks to him. B. Exercises with him.
C. Sleeps together all day. D. Gives him a bicycle ride.
Jawaban & Analisa Nomor 12

Jawaban benar: A

Analisa:

Di teks tertulis jelas: “I spend my spare time with Scruffy. I talk about anything to him.” Maka kegiatan penulis saat waktu luang adalah berbicara dengan Scruffy.

A. Benar, sesuai kalimat “I talk about anything to him.”

B. Kurang tepat, yang berolahraga dengan roda adalah Scruffy (“He loves to exercise with it”), bukan penulis berolahraga bersama.

C. Salah, penulis justru tidak suka Scruffy tidur sepanjang hari.

D. Salah, tidak ada bagian yang menyebut naik sepeda bersama hamster.
