Soal 26
Atik : When will your sister finish her "study"?
Mirna : I hope she ... by July next year.
The best completion is ...
A. will have graduated
B. has graduated
C. will graduate
D. is going to graduate
E. intends to graduate
Answer & Analysis
Correct answer: A
Main reasoning: The phrase “by July next year” indicates a deadline in the future. The action (graduating/finishing study) is expected to be completed before that future time. This requires the future perfect tense: “will have graduated.”
Option analysis:
A. Correct: future perfect fits “by + future time.”
B. Present perfect implies it is already completed now, not “next year.”
C. Simple future states it will happen, but it does not strongly emphasize completion before the deadline.
D. “Going to” expresses plan, but still less precise than future perfect for a “by” deadline.
E. “Intends” only shows intention; it does not guarantee completion by that time.
Logic note: Completion before a future deadline means time of graduation \( \lt \) July next year.
Soal 27
Niluh : I saw Sofyan come by bus this morning.
Andi : Where is his car?
Niluh : His car is out of order so he asked the mechanic to repair it.
From the dialogue we conclude that ...
A. Sofyan had repaired his car
B. Sofyan had his car repaired
C. the mechanic asked to repair the car
D. the mechanic asked Sofyan to repair the car
E. the mechanic and Sofyan repaired the car
Answer & Analysis
Correct answer: B
Main reasoning: The sentence “he asked the mechanic to repair it” shows that Sofyan arranged for someone else to fix his car. The causative form for this meaning is “have + object + past participle”: “Sofyan had his car repaired.”
Option analysis:
A. Incorrect meaning: it suggests Sofyan repaired the car himself.
B. Correct: it means he arranged for the mechanic to repair the car.
C. Wrong subject: the mechanic did not ask; Sofyan asked the mechanic.
D. Opposite direction of the request.
E. Not stated; there is no teamwork mentioned.
Logic note: “Ask the mechanic” indicates the mechanic performs the action, so Sofyan’s direct repair involvement is \( \lt \) implied.
Soal 28
Mr. Anwar : Are you pleased that your son wants to be a dentist?
Mr. Rahman : No, not really. I wish my son became a manager of my shoe-store.
The underlined expression means that ...
A. Mr. Rahman's son is a manager.
B. Mr. Rahman wants his son to be a manager.
C. Mr. Rahman's son is running a shoe-store business.
D. Mr. Rahman's son was not a dentist.
E. Mr. Rahman's son was the manager of the shoe-store.
Answer & Analysis
Correct answer: B
Main reasoning: “I wish my son became ...” expresses an unreal or desired situation that is different from the current reality. Mr. Rahman is not pleased because his son wants to be a dentist; he prefers (wants) his son to become the manager of his shoe-store. Therefore, B matches the meaning.
Option analysis:
A. Incorrect: “I wish” implies he is not currently a manager.
B. Correct: it states Mr. Rahman’s preference/desire.
C. Not stated; being “manager” is different from “running the business.”
D. The dialogue says the son wants to be a dentist; it does not say he is not a dentist already, and this option misses the intended wish.
E. Incorrect: “I wish” does not mean he was the manager; it expresses a desire, not a past fact.
Logic note: A wish indicates reality is different; desired state is \( \gt \) current satisfaction for Mr. Rahman.
Soal 29
Jaya : Why are you still here? Didn't you tell me that you would go to Jakarta today?
Setiadi : I would have been in Jakarta if the bus had not got an accident.
The underlined utterance means ...
A. Setiadi is in Jakarta
B. Setiadi went to Jakarta
C. The bus was safe
D. Jaya went to Jakarta
E. The bus got an accident
Answer & Analysis
Correct answer: E
Main reasoning: The structure “would have been ... if ... had not ...” is a third conditional. It means the condition actually happened (the bus got an accident), so the result did not happen (he was not in Jakarta). Therefore, E is the correct interpretation.
Option analysis:
A. False: he is still here, not in Jakarta.
B. False: he did not go; it was prevented.
C. False: the bus was not safe because it had an accident.
D. Not mentioned.
E. Correct: the condition “had not got an accident” is unreal, so the real fact is the bus got an accident.
Logic note: In third conditional, stated “if not X” implies X happened; reality is \( \gt \) hypothetical.
Soal 30
Student 1 : Andi is late again.
Student 2 : He is never on time. I think he ... earlier.
The best completion is ...
A. could have woken
B. ought to wake
C. should have woken
D. might have woken
E. would have woken
Answer & Analysis
Correct answer: C
Main reasoning: The context is criticism about a past mistake (Andi is late). The correct modal form to express regret/advice about what he should have done earlier is “should have + past participle.” Thus, “should have woken (up) earlier” is the best choice.
Option analysis:
A. “Could have” indicates possibility/ability, not strong advice or criticism.
B. “Ought to wake” refers to present/future obligation, not past regret.
C. Correct: “should have woken” expresses past advice/criticism.
D. “Might have” expresses possibility, too weak for the strong judgment “He is never on time.”
E. “Would have” requires a condition; none is given.
Logic note: Past advice form is more precise; “should have” is \( \gt \) “might have” for expressing criticism.
