B. Gunung Tujuh Lake in Jambi.

C. Volcanic lakes in Jambi.

D. Steep forest slopes in Jambi.

Answer & Analysis

Answer: B. Gunung Tujuh Lake in Jambi.

Option-by-option analysis:

A. Amazing tourist resorts in Jambi → Too broad; the text focuses on one lake.

B. Gunung Tujuh Lake in Jambi → Correct; it is the main topic throughout.

C. Volcanic lakes in Jambi → Too general; only one volcanic lake is described.

D. Steep forest slopes in Jambi → Only one supporting detail, not the main topic.

E. Waterfalls in Jambi → Mentioned briefly, not the main topic.

LaTeX note (required symbols): The focus on Gunung Tujuh Lake is \( \gt \) the focus on waterfalls in the text.


Soal 13

The main idea of the text is that ...

A. Gunung Tujuh Lake is a beautiful tourist resort

B. the location of Gunung Tujuh Lake is difficult to reach

C. Gunung Tujuh Lake is the only lake in Sumatra

D. tourists from Southeast Asia visit this beautiful lake

E. the animals are more attractive than the lake itself

Answer & Analysis

Answer: A. Gunung Tujuh Lake is a beautiful tourist resort

Detailed reasoning: From the start, the text calls it “an amazing tourist place to visit” and ends by saying it is “really beautiful with a spectacular scenery.” The rest of the information supports why it is attractive (surroundings, volcanic status, highest in Southeast Asia, waterfalls, animals).

Option-by-option analysis:

A. beautiful tourist resort → Correct; matches the opening and closing evaluations plus supporting details.

B. difficult to reach → Mentioned (climb/walk), but not the central message.

C. the only lake in Sumatra → Not stated; false.

D. tourists from Southeast Asia visit → Not stated; “highest in Southeast Asia” refers to the lake, not visitors.

E. animals more attractive → Not stated; animals are only an additional attraction.

LaTeX note (required symbols): The text’s praise of the scenery is \( \gt \) its emphasis on access difficulty.

A. The lake is 3 km long.

B. Gunung Tujuh Lake is not a volcanic lake.

C. Gunung Tujuh Lake is 4.5 km away from Sungai Penuh.

D. There are steep forest slopes and seven mountains around the lake.

E. Siamangs are the only animals that can be found in Gunung Tujuh Lake.

Answer & Analysis

Answer: D. There are steep forest slopes and seven mountains around the lake.

Detailed reasoning: The text explicitly states: “The lake is surrounded by steep forest slopes and seven mountains.” This directly matches option D.

Option-by-option analysis:

A. The lake is 3 km long → False; 3 km is the width, while the length is 4.5 km.

B. not a volcanic lake → False; it says “It is a volcanic lake.”

C. 4.5 km away from Sungai Penuh → False; the text says about 50 km from Sungai Penuh, and 4 km is the climbing distance.

D. steep slopes and seven mountains → True; stated directly.

E. only siamangs → False; elephants and birds are also mentioned.

LaTeX note (required symbols): The distance \( 50 \) km is \( \gt \) \( 4 \) km, showing the 4 km is only the final walk/climb.


Soal 15

"Gunung Tujuh Lake is really beautiful with a spectacular scenery." The underlined word means ...

A. amusing

B. remarkable

C. lovely

D. pretty

E. touching

Answer & Analysis

Answer: B. remarkable

Detailed reasoning: “Spectacular” means very impressive, striking, or remarkable. Among the options, “remarkable” is the closest meaning. “Lovely/pretty” are positive but weaker; “amusing” and “touching” shift the meaning.

Option-by-option analysis:

A. amusing → Related to humor; not suitable for scenery description here.

B. remarkable → Correct; closest to “spectacular.”

C. lovely → Positive but not as strong as “spectacular.”

D. pretty → Too mild; “spectacular” is stronger.

E. touching → Emotional reaction; not the main meaning of “spectacular.”

LaTeX note (required symbols): “Spectacular” is \( \gt \) “pretty” in strength of meaning.


Soal 16

"The lake is surrounded by steep ..." The underlined word means almost ...

A. vertical

B. broad

C. deep

D. high

E. large

Answer & Analysis

Answer: A. vertical

Detailed reasoning: “Steep” describes a slope that rises sharply, close to vertical. Among the options, “vertical” is the nearest meaning. “High” describes height, not the sharpness of a slope.

Option-by-option analysis:

A. vertical → Correct; closest to a very sharp slope.

B. broad → About width, unrelated.

C. deep → About depth, unrelated.

D. high → Not the same as steep; steep refers to angle/gradient.

E. large → Size, unrelated.

LaTeX note (required symbols): A steep slope has an angle \( \gt \) a gentle slope.
