Answer and Detailed Analysis
Answer: A. It changed its name to Softbank Telecom Corp.

Option-by-option analysis:
A. changed its name to Softbank Telecom Corp → Correct; stated directly.
B. built further relationship with Japan Telkom → The text mentions building relationship and trust with customers, not “with Japan Telkom” (Japan Telkom is the old name).
C. developed company infrastructure strength → Mentioned as an aim (“develop our company’s strength”), not as the event that happened on that date.
D. maximized digital business platform → “Digital platform” describes Softbank Group, but “maximized digital business platform” is not stated as the event.
E. changed the president and CEO → The text names the president and CEO but does not say he was changed.
LaTeX note (required symbols): The name-change statement is \( \gt \) the future aims in being tied to the exact date.
Soal 30
Softbank Group is ....
A. a technology & information company
B. the group synergies company
C. the logo design company
D. the contents company
E. Japan company
Answer and Detailed Analysis
Answer: A. a technology & information company
Detailed reasoning: The text says: “Softbank Group is a comprehensive I.T. network infrastructure, digital platform and content company.” This description fits a technology and information-based company most closely.
Option-by-option analysis:
A. a technology & information company → Correct; matches “I.T. network infrastructure” and “digital platform.”
B. the group synergies company → “Synergies” is an aim/strategy, not what the group “is.”
C. the logo design company → The logo design is mentioned as something used, not the group’s business.
D. the contents company → Content is part of it, but the text lists more than content; this is too narrow.
E. Japan company → The group is associated with Japan in context, but the question asks what it “is” (type of company), not its country.
LaTeX note (required symbols): “I.T. network infrastructure” relevance is \( \gt \) “logo design” relevance in defining Softbank Group.
Soal 31
Arrange the following sentences into the correct order!
Making a Telephone Call from a Public Telephone Box
\( 1 \). When the persons answer, this changes to the pay tool.
\( 2 \). If you want to continue the conversation you must insert another \( 10 \)p.
\( 3 \). Then dial the number.
\( 4 \). First make sure you have a coin of \( 10 \)p ready before you dial the number.
\( 5 \). After that you will hear the ringing tone.
\( 6 \). Insert the \( 10 \)p in the slot, and you can speak.
\( 7 \). Pick up the receiver and listen to a dialing tone.
The correct arrangement is ....
A. \( 7, 4, 6, 5, 3, 1, 2 \)
B. \( 6, 4, 7, 1, 5, 2, 3 \)
C. \( 4, 7, 3, 5, 1, 6, 2 \)
D. \( 7, 4, 3, 5, 6, 1, 2 \)
E. \( 6, 7, 4, 5, 3, 2, 1 \)
Answer and Detailed Analysis
Answer: D. \( 7, 4, 3, 5, 6, 1, 2 \)
Detailed reasoning: The logical sequence is: pick up the receiver to get a dialing tone, ensure you have the coin ready, dial the number, wait for ringing, then when it is answered you insert the coin so you can speak, then it changes to the pay mode, and if you want to continue you must insert another coin.
Step-by-step fit to the sentences:
Start: \( 7 \) (pick up receiver and listen to dialing tone) \( \rightarrow \) \( 4 \) (make sure you have \( 10 \)p ready) \( \rightarrow \) \( 3 \) (dial the number) \( \rightarrow \) \( 5 \) (hear ringing tone).
After answered: \( 6 \) (insert \( 10 \)p and speak) then \( 1 \) (changes to the pay tool) then \( 2 \) (insert another \( 10 \)p to continue).
Option-by-option analysis:
A. \( 7,4,6,... \) → Puts coin insertion before dialing/ringing; conflicts with having to dial first.
B. Starts with \( 6 \) → Inserting coin before picking up/dialing is illogical in this flow.
C. Starts with \( 4 \) → Having coin ready is good, but you should pick up and get dialing tone before dialing steps; also places \( 6 \) too late relative to \( 1 \).
D. \( 7,4,3,5,6,1,2 \) → Fully consistent step-by-step.
E. Starts with \( 6 \) and ends with \( 1 \) → Order conflicts with the meaning of “When the persons answer” in \( 1 \).
LaTeX note (required symbols): A correct procedural order is \( \gt \) any option that inserts \( 10 \)p before dialing.
Soal 32
Arrange the following sentences into the correct order!
\( 1 \). Her old, tired body could no longer resist the microbes ravaging her lungs.
\( 2 \). I was beside my mother when it happened.
\( 3 \). After she died I was grateful that her suffering was over.
\( 4 \). Our village was far in the mountains and there was neither sufficient food nor medicine.
\( 5 \). Mother finally died after suffering from serious illness.
The correct arrangement is ....
A. \( 5, 2, 1, 4, 3 \)
B. \( 3, 1, 2, 4, 5 \)
C. \( 2, 1, 4, 3, 5 \)
D. \( 5, 2, 1, 3, 4 \)
E. \( 4, 1, 5, 2, 3 \)
Answer and Detailed Analysis
Answer: A. \( 5, 2, 1, 4, 3 \)
Detailed reasoning: Sentence \( 5 \) gives the main event (mother died). Sentence \( 2 \) follows naturally because it refers to “when it happened” (the death). Sentence \( 1 \) explains the cause/condition (could no longer resist microbes). Sentence \( 4 \) provides background context (remote village, lack of food/medicine) which supports why the illness was severe and untreated. Sentence \( 3 \) is a concluding reflection that logically comes after the death.
Why each step fits:
\( 5 \) introduces the death event \( \rightarrow \) \( 2 \) places the narrator at the moment \( \rightarrow \) \( 1 \) explains the physical failure \( \rightarrow \) \( 4 \) adds situational hardship \( \rightarrow \) \( 3 \) closes with emotional reflection.
Option-by-option analysis:
A. \( 5,2,1,4,3 \) → Coherent: event \(\rightarrow\) witness \(\rightarrow\) cause \(\rightarrow\) background \(\rightarrow\) reflection.
B. Starts with \( 3 \) → Reflection comes after death, so it cannot start the story.
C. Ends with \( 5 \) → Death should occur before the “After she died...” reflection in \( 3 \).
D. Ends with \( 4 \) → Background is better placed before the final reflection.
E. \( 4,1,5,2,3 \) → Possible, but weaker: “when it happened” in \( 2 \) is more natural immediately after introducing the death in \( 5 \).
LaTeX note (required symbols): A reflection sentence belongs after the event \( \gt \) before it.
