The best arrangement of the sentences is ...

A. \( 4 - 2 - 3 - 6 - 1 - 5 \)

B. \( 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 - 6 - 5 \)

C. \( 4 - 2 - 6 - 5 - 1 - 3 \)

D. \( 4 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 6 - 5 \)

E. \( 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 5 - 6 \)

Answer & Analysis

Correct answer: B

Main reasoning: A good paragraph usually starts with a general introduction, then an overview, and then details in a logical sequence. Sentence (4) sets the time (“Last summer”) and introduces the holiday, so it should come first. Sentence (3) gives an overview of the places visited (Cleveland, Los Angeles, New York), so it naturally follows (4). After the overview, the details should match the order of the cities listed: Cleveland (2), Los Angeles (1), and New York (5). Sentence (6) must come right after (1) because it explains what happened specifically in Hollywood, which is mentioned in (1). Sentence (5) begins with “Lastly,” so it should be the final sentence.

Option analysis:

A. Incorrect because (3) is an overview and should come before city details, not after (2). Also, (6) should follow (1), not come before it.

B. Correct because it follows the pattern: introduction (4) → overview (3) → details by city (2, 1, 6) → closing “Lastly” (5).

C. Incorrect because (3) is an overview and should not be placed at the end; it should appear near the beginning.

D. Incorrect because it jumps to Los Angeles (1) before completing Cleveland (2), while the overview in (3) lists Cleveland first.

E. Incorrect because (6) explains Hollywood and should immediately follow (1). Putting (6) after (5) breaks the “Lastly” ending.

Logic note: A coherent flow (general → specific → conclusion) is \( \gt \) a random jump between overview and details.

Soal 33

The best word for blank \( 33 \) is ...

A. adventure

B. chance

C. risk

D. treatment

E. threat

Answer & Analysis

Correct answer: A

Main reasoning: The phrase “my perfect ... abroad” needs a noun that naturally collocates with “abroad” and matches a positive travel experience. “Adventure abroad” is a common and suitable phrase for an enjoyable time overseas.

Option analysis:

A. Correct: “adventure abroad” fits travel context and positive tone.

B. “Chance abroad” is awkward; “chance” usually needs a clearer object (chance to study/work).

C. “Risk abroad” contradicts the positive mood (“perfect ending”).

D. “Treatment abroad” relates to medical context, not travel memories with friends.

E. “Threat abroad” is negative and does not fit the paragraph’s emotions.

Logic note: Positive tone is \( \gt \) negative tone for matching “perfect ending.”


Soal 34

The best word for blank \( 34 \) is ...

A. performed

B. expressed

C. practiced

D. explained

E. said

Answer & Analysis

Correct answer: C

Main reasoning: The phrase “... Spanish with” strongly suggests language learning activity. The natural collocation is “practice a language with someone,” so “practiced” is the best fit.

Option analysis:

A. “Performed Spanish with” is unnatural; “perform” is for music/drama.

B. “Expressed Spanish with” is incorrect collocation.

C. Correct: “practiced Spanish with” is natural and clear.

D. “Explained Spanish with” is illogical; you explain something to someone, not “with” them.

E. “Said Spanish with” is not a correct phrase for learning a language.

Logic note: Correct collocation is \( \gt \) literal-but-awkward word choice.


Soal 35

The best word for blank \( 35 \) is ...

A. wonder

B. wondering

C. wonderful

D. wonderfully

E. wonderfulness

Answer & Analysis

Correct answer: C

Main reasoning: The blank modifies the noun “roommates,” so it must be an adjective. “Wonderful” is the correct adjective form and matches the affectionate tone of saying good-bye.

Option analysis:

A. Noun; cannot directly modify “roommates” as an adjective here.

B. Participle; does not fit the intended meaning.

C. Correct adjective to describe roommates positively.

D. Adverb; adverbs do not modify nouns like “roommates.”

E. Noun; “wonderfulness roommates” is ungrammatical.

Logic note: Adjective form is \( \gt \) noun/adverb forms when describing a noun directly.
