Soal 16
Tia : You look so sad. What has happened to you?
Mia : My mother was angry because I came home late last night.
Tia : Don't be sad. You'd better ask for her apology and admit that you've done a mistake.
From the dialogue we know that Tia gives … to Mia.
A. an idea
B. advice
C. an opinion
D. a surprise
E. information
Answer & Analysis
Correct Answer: B (advice)
Key clue: The expression “You’d better …” is a common form used to give advice/recommendation about what someone should do.
A Less accurate. An “idea” can be suggested, but the dialogue uses a clear advice marker (“You’d better”).
B Correct. Tia recommends an action to solve Mia’s problem.
C Incorrect. An opinion would be a judgment (e.g., “I think your mother is right”), not a recommendation.
D Incorrect. No surprising event is given.
E Incorrect. Information is factual data; Tia is guiding Mia’s action.
Language note: The phrase “ask for her apology” is unusual in natural English (it sounds like asking the mother to apologize). The intended meaning is likely “apologize to her / ask for her forgiveness.” However, the question asks the function of the utterance, and it is still clearly advice.
Soal 17
Ana : What did you buy at the grocery store yesterday?
Anto : What did you say?
Ana : I wanted to know what you … at the grocery store yesterday.
A. buy
B. would buy
C. had to buy
D. had bought
E. have bought
Answer & Analysis
Correct Answer: D (had bought)
Grammar focus: This is an indirect question with a past reporting verb: “I wanted to know …” The original direct question is “What did you buy yesterday?” In reported/indirect form, the tense typically shifts one step back: did buy → had bought.
A Incorrect. Simple present does not match “yesterday” and the past reporting verb.
B Incorrect. “Would buy” refers to future-in-the-past or conditional meaning, not a completed action yesterday.
C Incorrect meaning. “Had to buy” means obligation, not what he actually bought.
D Correct. “I wanted to know what you had bought yesterday.” fits reported speech pattern.
E Incorrect. Present perfect does not fit with “yesterday” (a definite past time).
Soal 18
Dito : Excuse me, …?
Dian : Oh, of course. Here it is!
A. Can you help me
B. Could you do this me
C. Could you do me a favor
D. May I borrow your dictionary
E. Would you mind opening the door
Answer & Analysis
Correct Answer: D (May I borrow your dictionary)
Key clue: Dian replies, “Here it is!” This indicates she is handing an object to Dito immediately. The only option that clearly requests an object that can be handed over is “May I borrow your dictionary.”
A Incorrect. Too general; it does not explain “Here it is!” (an object being given).
B Incorrect grammar (“do this me” is incorrect).
C Incorrect. Still too general; it does not match the object handover response.
D Correct. A dictionary can be handed immediately: “Oh, of course. Here it is!”
E Incorrect. If it were about opening the door, the response would be an action, not “Here it is!”
Soal 19
Mia : Mother, I've got a scholarship from Monash University in Australia.
Mother : Thank God. It's really unbelievable!
The underlined expression shows …
A. anxiety
B. surprise
C. pleasure
D. uncertainty
E. satisfaction
Answer & Analysis
Correct Answer: B (surprise)
Key meaning: “It’s really unbelievable!” is an exclamation showing the speaker finds the news hard to believe because it is unexpected/amazing. This is a classic marker of surprise (pleasant surprise).
A Incorrect. Anxiety involves worry/fear, not amazement.
B Correct. “Unbelievable” signals astonishment/surprise.
C Possible emotionally, but the underlined words specifically indicate amazement rather than simple pleasure.
D Incorrect. Uncertainty is doubt about facts; here it is an exclamation of amazement, not confusion.
E Less accurate. Satisfaction is contentment; the phrase is stronger and more about surprise.

The underlined utterance expresses …
A. denial
B. refusal
C. pleasure
D. approval
E. disagreement
Answer & Analysis
Correct Answer: B (refusal)
Key meaning: “I’d like to, but …” is a polite pattern used to decline an invitation while showing willingness. The speaker cannot join because she already has another plan.
A Incorrect. Denial means rejecting an accusation/statement, not declining an invitation.
B Correct. It is a polite refusal to join the play.
C Incorrect. Pleasure would be expressed without the “but” declining part.
D Incorrect. Approval means agreeing/supporting; here she does not accept the invitation.
E Incorrect. Disagreement is about opposing opinions, not declining due to schedule.
