JAKARTA - When the government announced the liquidation of 16 banks last Saturday, many people are surprised as they did not expect their bank to be on the list. Others were still trying to come to terms with the fact that they had lost their jobs.

"I heard ... on the radio that 16 banks were liquidated, that's why I came there, to check whether I could still withdraw my money," said Prapto, who claimed to have a deposit in one of the liquidated banks on Jl, Thamrin. But he said he couldn't get it as it was Saturday and most banks do not operate.

The headquarters of some of the liquidated banks, such as Bank Pacific and Bank Industry look calm, with only a few people coming and going Several people called the 'Observer' last Saturday afternoon to find out which banks had been liquidated.

Ninyoman Moena, a noted banking analyst told the 'Observer' it is a normal reaction for people to panic when hearing such things, but, she said, the government must certainly have anticipated the situation. "I think the monetary authority must have been prepared this time, as the announcement of the liquidation of Bank Summa in 1992," Moena said referring to the guarantee by the government to pas depositors in two weeks on November, 13, 1977 and the naming of-the will handle the pay outs.

When announcing the liquidations last Saturday, Bank Indonesia assured depositors they would get their money back. Those who had less than Rp 20 million would get all their money on November 13, while those who had over Rp 20 million would get up to Rp 20 million in the first stage with the remainder being paid later.

The President Director of Bank IFI Harry Rachmadi said yesterday that the liquidation of sixteen banks would certainly have an impact in the community, as some people may lose their jobs; To minimize the impact of the liquidations, it is important to accelerate the process. Rachmadi said that the decision could also be a "shock therapy" for Indonesian banks. "Bank owners can no longer, do as they want when operating their own banks," he said. He also said that some members of the public should have anticipated this, as the press had earlier reported the likely liquidation of some ailing banks following the currency turmoil that hit the country in July this year.


Soal 30

The article is about ...

A. liquidation of 16 banks

B. a shock therapy for banks

C. people's reaction about liquidated banks

D. the loss of money deposited in the liquidated banks

E. the impact of liquidated bank on the employees

Jawaban & Analisa

Jawaban: C. people's reaction about liquidated banks

Alasan utama: Paragraf awal menekankan respons masyarakat: “many people are surprised… Others… come to terms… lost their jobs.” Lalu ada contoh reaksi individu (Prapto) yang mengecek uangnya, suasana kantor bank yang “look calm”, orang-orang menelepon media untuk memastikan bank mana yang dilikuidasi, serta penjelasan analis bahwa panik adalah reaksi normal. Informasi tentang pengembalian uang dan dampak kebijakan tetap ada, tetapi konteks besarnya adalah reaksi publik terhadap likuidasi tersebut.

Analisis opsi:

A. liquidation of 16 banks → Ini memang peristiwa pemicu, tetapi isi artikel tidak hanya “mengumumkan likuidasi”; fokusnya banyak pada respons/reaksi dan konsekuensinya di masyarakat.

B. a shock therapy for banks → “Shock therapy” hanya muncul di bagian akhir sebagai salah satu dampak/tujuan, bukan ide utama keseluruhan artikel.

C. people's reaction about liquidated banks → Paling luas dan paling sesuai: banyak detail narasi membahas keterkejutan, kepanikan, pengecekan dana, dan komentar analis tentang reaksi publik.

D. the loss of money deposited in the liquidated banks → Artikel justru menyatakan ada jaminan pengembalian (“assured depositors they would get their money back”), jadi bukan fokus “kehilangan uang”.

E. the impact of liquidated bank on the employees → Dampak ke pekerjaan disebut, tetapi hanya salah satu aspek; artikel tidak khusus membahas karyawan saja.


Soal 31

The main idea of paragraph 4 is ...

A. some banks are assigned to handle the pay outs

B. the governments has anticipated the people's reaction

C. the government guarantees to pay depositors by certain banks

D. Bank Summa was liquidated in 1992

E. Ninyoman Moena is a noted banking analyst

Jawaban & Analisa

Jawaban: B. the governments has anticipated the people's reaction

Alasan utama: Inti paragraf 4 adalah pernyataan analis bahwa panik itu normal, namun pemerintah “must certainly have anticipated the situation,” dan otoritas moneter “must have been prepared.” Detail lain (contoh kasus Bank Summa, jaminan pemerintah, mekanisme pay out) dipakai sebagai dukungan bahwa pemerintah seharusnya sudah siap.

Analisis opsi:

A. some banks are assigned to handle the pay outs → Ini detail tambahan di akhir paragraf (tentang penanganan pay out), bukan gagasan utama.

B. the governments has anticipated the people's reaction → Tepat: kalimat kuncinya menyatakan pemerintah pasti mengantisipasi situasi dan sudah siap.

C. the government guarantees to pay depositors by certain banks → Ada unsur jaminan, tetapi fungsinya sebagai bukti kesiapan/antisipasi, bukan pusat ide paragraf.

D. Bank Summa was liquidated in 1992 → Hanya contoh pembanding untuk menunjukkan pemerintah pernah mengalami situasi serupa.

E. Ninyoman Moena is a noted banking analyst → Ini fakta pengenal narasumber, bukan ide pokok paragraf.


Soal 32

Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the text?

A. The headquarters of the liquidated banks were crowded with people.

B. Bank Summa was one of the banks liquidated last Saturday.

C. The liquidated could be a shock therapy for Indonesian banks.

D. Harry Rachmadi said that there will be no impact of liquidation in the community.

E. The liquidated said that do not guarantee that the depositors can get back their deposits.

Jawaban & Analisa

Jawaban: C. The liquidated could be a shock therapy for Indonesian banks.

Alasan utama: Teks menyatakan Rachmadi mengatakan keputusan likuidasi “could also be a ‘shock therapy’ for Indonesian banks.” Itu membuat pernyataan C sesuai isi bacaan.

Analisis opsi:

A. ... were crowded with people → Salah, karena paragraf 3 justru mengatakan kantor pusat beberapa bank “look calm” dengan hanya sedikit orang.

B. Bank Summa was one of the banks liquidated last Saturday → Salah, Bank Summa disebut sebagai peristiwa tahun 1992 (pembanding), bukan bagian dari likuidasi “last Saturday”.

C. ... could be a shock therapy for Indonesian banks → Benar, ini dinyatakan eksplisit oleh Rachmadi.

D. ... there will be no impact ... → Kebalikan dari teks; Rachmadi mengatakan likuidasi “would certainly have an impact”.

E. ... do not guarantee depositors ... → Salah, karena Bank Indonesia “assured depositors they would get their money back.”


Soal 33

The pay out will be given to depositors in stages. This idea is stated in paragraph ...

A. 1

B. 3

C. 4

D. 5

E. 6

Jawaban & Analisa

Jawaban: D. 5

Alasan utama: Gagasan “dibayar bertahap” muncul jelas pada paragraf tentang skema pengembalian uang: “those who had over Rp 20 million would get up to Rp 20 million in the first stage with the remainder being paid later.” Itu adalah paragraf 5 pada wacana.

Catatan LaTeX sesuai instruksi: Skema tahap pertama untuk deposan besar dapat dipahami sebagai batas \( \le \) Rp 20 juta untuk pembayaran awal. Karena tanda \( \lt \) dan \( \gt \) wajib digunakan saat relevan, konteks teks menyebut “less than Rp 20 million” sebagai \( \lt \) Rp 20 juta, dan “over Rp 20 million” sebagai \( \gt \) Rp 20 juta.

Analisis opsi:

A. 1 → Paragraf 1 berisi reaksi awal masyarakat, bukan mekanisme pay out.

B. 3 → Paragraf 3 menggambarkan suasana kantor bank dan orang yang menelepon media.

C. 4 → Paragraf 4 berisi komentar analis tentang kepanikan dan kesiapan pemerintah, bukan tahap pembayaran yang sekarang.

D. 5 → Tepat: ada frasa “first stage… remainder… paid later” yang berarti bertahap.

E. 6 → Paragraf 6 membahas dampak likuidasi dan “shock therapy”, bukan rincian tahap pembayaran.


Soal 34

"... that's why I came here to check whether I could still withdraw my money, ..." (paragraph 2) The underlined word means ...

A. takeout

B. make known

C. giveaway

D. put back

E. make certain

Jawaban & Analisa

Jawaban: A. takeout

Alasan utama: Dalam konteks perbankan, “withdraw my money” berarti menarik/mengambil uang dari bank. Pilihan yang paling dekat maknanya adalah “take out” (ditulis pada opsi sebagai “takeout”). Opsi lain tidak sesuai konteks penarikan dana.

Analisis opsi:

A. takeout → Paling sesuai: mengambil/menarik keluar uang (keluar dari rekening/bank).

B. make known → Artinya “menginformasikan/mengumumkan”, tidak terkait mengambil uang.

C. giveaway → Artinya “memberikan gratis/menyumbangkan”, berlawanan dengan maksud menarik uang sendiri.

D. put back → Artinya “mengembalikan/menaruh kembali”, bukan mengambil.

E. make certain → Artinya “memastikan”, padahal kata yang digarisbawahi adalah tindakan mengambil uang, bukan memastikan.
