Read the text and answer questions 39 to 42.

Jellyfish are not really fish. They are invertebrate animals. This means that unlike fish or people, they have no backbones. In fact, they have no bones at all.

Jellyfish have stomachs and mouths, but no heads. They have nervous systems for sensing the world around them, but no brains. They are made almost entirely of water, which is why you can look through them.

Some jellyfish can glow in darkness by making their own light. The light is made by a chemical reaction inside the jellyfish. Scientists believe jellyfish glow for several reasons. For example, they may glow to scare away predators or to attract animals they like to eat.

Most jellyfish live in salt water, apart from a few types that live in fresh water. Jellyfish are found in oceans and seas all over the world. They live in warm, tropical seas and in icy waters near the North and South poles.


39. Which one creates Jellyfish’s light?

A.White blood.
B.Nervous system.
C.Chemical reaction.
D.Salt water.
Jawaban & Analisis

Kunci: C

Analisis inti: Teks menyatakan secara langsung: “The light is made by a chemical reaction inside the jellyfish.” Jadi penyebab cahaya adalah reaksi kimia.

A (White blood): Tidak ada pembahasan tentang darah. Selain itu, teks menekankan ubur-ubur hampir seluruhnya air dan tidak menyebut “white blood”.

B (Nervous system): Sistem saraf disebut untuk “sensing the world around them”, bukan untuk membuat cahaya.

C (Chemical reaction): Paling tepat karena disebut sebagai proses pembuat cahaya di dalam ubur-ubur.

D (Salt water): Air asin disebut sebagai habitat (“Most jellyfish live in salt water”), bukan penyebab cahaya.


40. Based on the text, we know that ….

A.they belong to invertebrate animals.
B.they have heads like other animals.
C.their brain helps them find the food.
D.they cannot live in fresh water.
Jawaban & Analisis

Kunci: A

Analisis inti: Kalimat awal teks menyebut tegas: “They are invertebrate animals.” Maka kita tahu ubur-ubur termasuk hewan invertebrata.

A (they belong to invertebrate animals): Sesuai pernyataan eksplisit pada paragraf 1.

B (they have heads like other animals): Bertentangan dengan paragraf 2: “but no heads.”

C (their brain helps them find the food): Bertentangan dengan paragraf 2: “but no brains.”

D (they cannot live in fresh water): Salah karena paragraf 4 menyatakan ada beberapa jenis yang hidup di air tawar (“a few types that live in fresh water”).


41. What is the text about?

A.Jellyfish.
B.Kinds of all fish.
C.All invertebrate animals.
D.Some kinds of sea animals.
Jawaban & Analisis

Kunci: A

Analisis inti: Seluruh paragraf membahas ubur-ubur: ciri (tidak bertulang, tidak berkepala, tidak berotak), kemampuan bercahaya, dan habitatnya. Jadi topiknya adalah “Jellyfish”.

A (Jellyfish): Tepat karena semua informasi berpusat pada ubur-ubur.

B (Kinds of all fish): Tidak tepat karena teks justru membuka dengan “Jellyfish are not really fish.”

C (All invertebrate animals): Terlalu luas. Teks hanya memakai “invertebrate” untuk menjelaskan ubur-ubur, bukan membahas semua invertebrata.

D (Some kinds of sea animals): Masih terlalu umum. Fokus spesifiknya hanya ubur-ubur (bukan beberapa hewan laut).


42. “Some jellyfish can glow in darkness by making their own light.” (paragraph 3)

The word “glow” in the sentence means ….

A.move
B.produce
C.appear
Jawaban & Analisis

Kunci: B

Analisis inti: Kalimatnya menjelaskan “glow” dengan frasa “by making their own light.” Artinya “glow” berkaitan dengan menghasilkan/membuat cahaya. Dari pilihan yang ada, yang paling mendekati adalah “produce”.

A (move): “Move” berarti bergerak, tidak terkait “making their own light”.

B (produce): Paling tepat karena sesuai makna “menghasilkan/membuat” cahaya.

C (appear): “Appear” berarti tampak/muncul, tetapi inti makna “glow” di teks adalah membuat cahaya, bukan sekadar “muncul”.

The following text is for questions number 43 to 45.

Announcement

Based on the Approval Letter of the Governor of Bank Indonesia no. 13/108/KEP.GBI/2011 on 29 December 2011, we are pleased to announce that effective from 12 January 2012,

PT Saphire Bank

PT Bank Diamond Indonesia

The name change reflects the shareholding increase of Saphire Group Limited from 85% to 99% in PT Bank Diamond Indonesia as well as our strong and continuing support to Indonesia’s economic growth.

Jakarta, 12 January 2012

Board of Directors
PT Bank Diamond Indonesia


43. Why does the bank change its name? Because ....

A.
they commited to support Indonesian economic growth
B.
there are some changes in shareholding
C.
the governor of Bank Indonesia request it
D.
they already announce it to the public
Jawaban & Analisis Nomor 43

Jawaban: B. there are some changes in shareholding

Alasan utama: Teks menyebutkan sebabnya secara eksplisit: “The name change reflects the shareholding increase ... from 85% to 99% ...”. Jadi perubahan nama terjadi karena kenaikan/perubahan kepemilikan saham.

Analisis tiap opsi:

A. they commited to support Indonesian economic growth → disebut sebagai dukungan, tetapi bukan sebab utama yang dinyatakan paling tegas.

B. there are some changes in shareholding → tepat, sesuai kalimat kunci tentang shareholding increase.

C. the governor of Bank Indonesia request it → hanya ada “Approval Letter”, bukan permintaan.

D. they already announce it to the public → ini tindakan, bukan alasan.


44. "The name change reflects the shareholding increase ...." The underlined word closest in meaning with ....

A.
mirrors
B.
shows
C.
makes
D.
improves
Jawaban & Analisis Nomor 44

Jawaban: B. shows

Alasan: reflects pada kalimat tersebut berarti menunjukkan/menggambarkan keterkaitan perubahan nama dengan kenaikan saham. Padanan paling tepat: shows.

Analisis tiap opsi:

A. mirrors → dekat makna, tetapi shows paling langsung untuk sinonim “reflects” di konteks ini.

B. shows → tepat (reflects = shows/indicates).

C. makes → tidak sepadan dengan “reflects”.

D. improves → makna berbeda.


45. The text above is about ....

A.
Bank Indonesia is closing a certain bank
B.
a change of a bank ownership
C.
a change of name of a bank
D.
an announcement of a bank bankruptcy
Jawaban & Analisis Nomor 45

Jawaban: C. a change of name of a bank

Alasan utama: Inti pengumuman: “PT Saphire Bank has changed its name to PT Bank Diamond Indonesia.” Jadi topiknya adalah perubahan nama bank.

Analisis tiap opsi:

A. Bank Indonesia is closing a certain bank → tidak ada info penutupan bank.

B. a change of a bank ownership → shareholding naik memang disebut, tetapi itu alasan; fokus teks tetap perubahan nama.

C. a change of name of a bank → paling sesuai dan menjadi inti pengumuman.

D. an announcement of a bank bankruptcy → tidak ada info bangkrut.
