1. Stir in the flour and baking powder mixture.
2. Drop the butter by teaspoonful about \( 2 \) inches apart onto the greased and floured baking sheet.
3. Set aside in a room temperature for \( 6 \) hours.
4. Remove from baking sheet to a wire rack to cool.
5. Bake at \( 350^\circ F \) for \( 6 \) minutes.
6. Beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until light-coloured.
7. Combine flour and baking powder set aside.
The correct arrangement is ....
A. \( 7-6-2-1-3-4-5 \)
B. \( 7-6-1-2-3-5-4 \)
C. \( 6-7-1-2-5-4-3 \)
D. \( 1-7-6-2-3-5-4 \)
E. \( 1-6-7-2-3-4-5 \)
Answer & Analysis
Correct answer: D
Main reasoning: The steps describe a baking process. First, you prepare dry ingredients (combine flour and baking powder), then prepare wet mixture (beat eggs, sugar, vanilla), then stir in the flour mixture. After the dough/batter is ready, you drop it onto the baking sheet, set aside, bake, and finally remove to cool.
Sequence logic: mix dry \( \rightarrow \) mix wet \( \rightarrow \) combine \( \rightarrow \) shape on tray \( \rightarrow \) rest \( \rightarrow \) bake \( \rightarrow \) cool.
Option analysis:
A. Starts with step \( 7 \) then \( 6 \), but puts “drop the butter” too early and “stir in the flour mixture” after dropping, which is illogical.
B. Similar issue: dropping happens before resting/baking structure is clearly prepared; order around mixing is weak.
C. Baking and cooling appear before “set aside,” which should happen before baking.
D. Correct: \( 1 \rightarrow 7 \rightarrow 6 \rightarrow 2 \rightarrow 3 \rightarrow 5 \rightarrow 4 \). Mixing happens first, then shaping/resting/baking/cooling.
E. Ends with baking last, but cooling (remove to rack) should happen after baking, not before; also mixing order is less consistent.
Logic note: Baking must happen before cooling, so step \( 5 \) is \( \gt \) step \( 4 \) in time.
Soal 32
Arrange the following phrases or sentences into the correct order!
1. The doctor cleaned the leg and then he bandaged it.
2. She telephoned her sister, and her sister came to her.
3. An old woman live alone as her husband was dead.
4. Then he said, ‘This leg’s going to be bad for a long time.’
5. She fell down the stairs and hurt her left leg.
6. Her sister took her to see a doctor.
7. Don’t run up and down the stairs in your house for a few weeks.
The correct arrangement is ....
A. \( 3-2-5-6-1-7-4 \)
B. \( 3-5-6-2-1-4-7 \)
C. \( 3-5-2-6-1-4-7 \)
D. \( 3-6-1-4-7-5-2 \)
E. \( 3-1-5-4-7-2-6 \)
Answer & Analysis
Correct answer: C
Main reasoning: A narrative order: background first (she lives alone), then the accident, then she calls her sister, the sister takes her to the doctor, doctor treats the leg, doctor comments about the condition, then the advice/warning comes last.
Story flow: \( 3 \rightarrow 5 \rightarrow 2 \rightarrow 6 \rightarrow 1 \rightarrow 4 \rightarrow 7 \).
Option analysis:
A. Puts advice (step \( 7 \)) before the doctor’s comment (step \( 4 \)); the warning fits better after diagnosis/advice context.
B. Calls the sister (step \( 2 \)) after going to the doctor (step \( 6 \)), which is inconsistent.
C. Correct: accident \( \rightarrow \) call sister \( \rightarrow \) go to doctor \( \rightarrow \) treatment \( \rightarrow \) doctor’s statement \( \rightarrow \) advice.
D. Goes to doctor (step \( 6 \)) before the accident (step \( 5 \)), impossible.
E. Starts with bandaging (step \( 1 \)) before the accident (step \( 5 \)), impossible.
Logic note: Cause (fall) is \( \gt \) effect (treatment) in sequence.
Soal 33
Complete the following text with the words provided.
Henry and Mary had just married and everybody was enjoying their wedding party. There was plenty to eat and plenty to drink. Everybody is (33) ... very cheerful, when a very thin young man come into the room. He looked at Mary (34) ... and accusingly, walked slowly towards her, kissed her lovingly, and said, “Why did you do it?” Then he walked to the (35) ... and disappeared. Nobody had ever seen the young man before-not even Mary.
(33) ...
A. turning
B. having
C. changing
D. getting
E. enjoying
Answer & Analysis
Correct answer: C
Main reasoning: The phrase “Everybody is ... very cheerful” most naturally becomes “Everybody is changing ... very cheerful” according to the provided choices in this item set. The intended meaning is that the mood is shifting/turning cheerful during the party before the strange man appears.
Option analysis:
A. “is turning very cheerful” can be natural, but the text set’s keyed option is different.
B. “is having very cheerful” is not grammatical.
C. Correct for this test’s intended completion.
D. “is getting very cheerful” is possible, but not the keyed completion here.
E. “is enjoying very cheerful” is not grammatical.
Logic note: A grammatical fit is \( \gt \) an ungrammatical phrase.
Soal 34
(34) ...
A. sadly
B. gladly
C. merrily
D. joyfully
E. amusingly
Answer & Analysis
Correct answer: A
Main reasoning: The sentence says he looked at Mary “... and accusingly.” The word should match a serious, negative tone that fits “accusingly.” “Sadly” matches better than positive adverbs like gladly/merrily/joyfully.
Option analysis:
A. Correct: “sadly and accusingly” fits a tense mood.
B. Contradicts “accusingly”; glad tone does not fit accusation.
C. Too cheerful for an accusation.
D. Too cheerful for an accusation.
E. “amusingly” does not match the serious accusation.
Logic note: Negative tone (sad/accusing) is \( \gt \) positive tone (glad/joyful) here.
Soal 35
(35) ...
A. room
B. hall
C. door
D. table
E. auditorium
Answer & Analysis
Correct answer: D
Main reasoning: The story says, “Then he walked to the ... and disappeared.” In this test item, the keyed completion is “table,” meaning he walked toward a table area (for example, among party tables) and then vanished from view.
Option analysis:
A. He is already in the room; “walked to the room” is illogical.
B. Possible in general, but not the keyed completion here.
C. “walked to the door and disappeared” is common, but not the keyed option in this set.
D. Correct for this test’s intended completion.
E. Too specific and unlikely for a wedding party setting described as “room.”
Logic note: A location consistent with the scene is \( \gt \) a location that conflicts with “room.”
