Soal 5
What is the text about?
A. The marketing sales for international networks.
B. The promotion of Boeing B777-300 Extended Range.
C. Jakarta – London route in a wide-bodied Boeing B777.
D. The launching of Garuda’s service from Jakarta to London.
E. The purpose of developing economic, business, and social activities.
Answer & Analysis
Correct answer: D
Main reasoning: The first sentence states that Garuda Indonesia “begins its new flight service on Monday morning.” The text then gives supporting details about the route (Jakarta–London via Amsterdam), aircraft type, facilities, and flight frequency. This overall focus matches the launching of Garuda’s service from Jakarta to London.
Option analysis:
A. Too narrow and unclear; the text is not mainly about “marketing sales,” but about starting a new flight service.
B. Not the focus; Boeing type is mentioned as a detail, not the main topic.
C. Close, but the main emphasis is the beginning/launch of the service, not only describing the route and aircraft.
D. Correct; it announces the start of a new Garuda flight service (Jakarta–London).
E. This is one stated purpose, but not the main topic of the whole text.
Logic note: Announcing a new service (launch) is \( \gt \) its supporting details (aircraft, facilities, purpose).
Soal 6
From the text, we imply the opening Jakarta – London route will ... the relationship between UK and Indonesia in many financial sector.
A. decline
B. increase
C. subtract
D. eliminate
E. deteriorate
Answer & Analysis
Correct answer: B
Main reasoning: The text says the opening of the route “will further develop economics, business, social and tourism activities between Indonesia and UK.” If activities develop, the relationship becomes stronger, meaning it will increase.
Option analysis:
A. Opposite of “further develop.”
B. Correct; “further develop” implies improvement and growth, so the relationship increases.
C. Not logical in this context; “subtract” does not fit relationship development.
D. Opposite meaning; eliminate means remove.
E. Opposite meaning; deteriorate means become worse.
Logic note: “Develop” implies growth, so increase is \( \gt \) decrease-type options.

The key idea is the purpose/aim: developing the relationship in several sectors. The Amsterdam stop is only an added detail.
Option analysis:
A. A reporting detail (who said it), not the paragraph’s main idea.
B. That is in paragraph \( 1 \), not the focus of paragraph \( 2 \).
C. Too narrow; paragraph \( 2 \) mentions multiple sectors, not only tourism.
D. Mentioned, but it is a minor detail compared to the broader purpose of developing activities.
E. Correct; it summarizes the paragraph’s main message about developing relations/activities across sectors.

Barcelona: Lionel Messi preferred to focus on winning trophies rather than attempting to better the \( 73 \) goals he scored for Barcelona last season, when he spoke at a news conference on Wednesday.
The world player of the year rattled in an unprecedented tally in all competitions in the last campaign, helping Pep Guardiola and his four-year tenure as coach with another \( 4 \) trophies to add to the \( 10 \) he had already won.
“I’m not looking to beat my tally of goals, that is not my objective,” Messi said. “I want to try and develop as a player and to give more to the team. I hope I still have margin to continue improving. My objective is to win more titles.”
Real Madrid and Chelsea denied Barca the major prizes last year, Jose Mourinho’s side winning La Liga and Chelsea knocking them out of the Champions League in the semi-finals on their way to a final victory over Bayern Munich.
“I hope we can get back to winning everything again,” he added.
“We know it is very difficult to do, but I am still hurting from losing the semi-final against Chelsea with the penalty I missed, and La Liga with the defeat to Madrid at the Nou Camp.” (News : Sport)
Soal 8
The text is about ....
A. a final victory over Bayern Munich
B. Barcelona, the major prize last year
C. Messi’s ambition to win more titles
D. the defeat to Real Madrid at the Nou Camp
E. the match between Real Madrid and Chelsea
Answer and Detailed Analysis
Answer: C. Messi’s ambition to win more titles
Detailed reasoning: Messi clearly states his focus is not beating his goal tally but winning trophies: “My objective is to win more titles.” Other sentences support this by describing his previous goals (\( 73 \)) and the trophies context, but the main point is his ambition to win titles.
Option-by-option analysis:
A. a final victory over Bayern Munich → Mentioned only as part of Chelsea’s path, not the main focus.
B. Barcelona, the major prize last year → The text says Barca were denied major prizes, so this is not the central topic.
C. Messi’s ambition to win more titles → Correct; directly stated and repeated in meaning.
D. the defeat to Real Madrid at the Nou Camp → A detail of disappointment, not the overall topic.
E. the match between Real Madrid and Chelsea → Not discussed as the main issue; only referenced indirectly.
LaTeX note (required symbols): Winning trophies is \( \gt \) beating the \( 73 \)-goal tally as Messi’s priority in the text.
Soal 9
Why did Chelsea deny Barca major prizes last year?
A. Chelsea didn’t win in the championship because of Barca’s competence and luck.
B. Real Madrid and Chelsea worried to Barca to become the championship.
C. Barca won the championship because of suicide goal.
D. Real Madrid had draw with Barca in this competition.
E. Barca neither won in champion league and La Liga.
Answer and Detailed Analysis
Answer: E. Barca neither won in champion league and La Liga.
Detailed reasoning: The text explains that Chelsea “knock[ed] them out of the Champions League in the semi-finals,” while Real Madrid’s side “winn[ing] La Liga.” Therefore, Barca did not win the Champions League and did not win La Liga, meaning they missed major prizes.
Option-by-option analysis:
A. Chelsea didn’t win because of Barca’s competence and luck → Not stated; the text highlights Barca’s failures, not Chelsea failing.
B. worried to Barca → Not stated and unclear.
C. suicide goal → Not mentioned.
D. had draw → Not mentioned; the text mentions defeat to Madrid at Nou Camp.
E. Barca neither won Champions League nor La Liga → Matches the text’s explanation of how Barca were denied prizes.
LaTeX note (required symbols): Being knocked out in the semi-finals is \( \lt \) winning the Champions League.

A. Messi and Pep. Guardiola had made Barcelona an unbeatable team of the world
B. Bayern Munchen and Real Madrid were the two teams who defeated Barcelona
C. Pep. Guardiola coached Barcelona for four years and won \( 10 \) trophies
D. the only team which can beat Barcelona is Chelsea from England
E. Barcelona won in champion league and La Liga
Answer and Detailed Analysis
Answer: C. Pep. Guardiola coached Barcelona for four years and won \( 10 \) trophies
Detailed reasoning: The text says Pep Guardiola had a “four-year tenure as coach” and mentions “another \( 4 \) trophies to add to the \( 10 \) he had already won.” This supports the idea that he coached for four years and had won \( 10 \) trophies (at least) as stated in the text.
Option-by-option analysis:
A. Unbeatable team → Contradicted by “denied Barca the major prizes” and being knocked out.
B. Bayern and Real defeated Barcelona → Bayern is mentioned as Chelsea’s final opponent, not as defeating Barca.
C. Four years and \( 10 \) trophies → Best supported by the sentence containing those exact details.
D. Only Chelsea can beat Barcelona → Not true; Real Madrid also denied Barca in La Liga.
E. Barca won Champions League and La Liga → Opposite of what the text says.
