Subject : Mount Kelud

Hello Alviana,

I send you this e-mail to let you know that I’m enjoying a great vacation with my friends on Mount Kelud, Kediri. This is a very amazing place.

We went to Kediri by bus from school at \( 7 \) a.m and arrived there at \( 10.30 \) a.m. Before we reached the mountain, we had to stop at the local bus station and changed into local transportation of a smaller car. The view was wonderful along our journey to the mountain. It took \( 15 \) minutes to reach the foot of mountain from the bus station.

There were a cave and more amazing sceneries. We walked around and took pictures there. We also bought some durians and they were very delicious.

I hope you’ll get here someday.
That’s all for now. Please pass my greeting to your parents. See you.

Love,
Kartika Putri

Analisa tiap opsi:

A. Tidak tepat, Alviana bukan pelaku perjalanan; Alviana penerima e-mail.

B. Tidak tepat, tidak ada keluhan “missing a friend”, justru bercerita senang berlibur.

D. Kurang tepat, pemandangan memang disebut, tetapi itu hanya bagian dari pengalaman keseluruhan.

5. How did the writer and friends explore the cave?

A. Hire a local transportation.
B. By bicycle.
C. By bus.
D. On foot.
Jawaban & Analisa Soal 5

Jawaban: D

Analisa detail: Teks menyatakan: “We walked around and took pictures there.” Ini menunjukkan cara mereka mengeksplor area (termasuk gua dan pemandangan) adalah dengan berjalan kaki.

Analisa tiap opsi:

A. Tidak tepat untuk “explore the cave”; transportasi lokal disebut untuk menuju gunung, bukan cara mengeksplor gua.

B. Tidak tepat, tidak ada sepeda di teks.

C. Tidak tepat, bus digunakan untuk perjalanan dari sekolah ke Kediri, bukan untuk mengeksplor gua.

D. Tepat, karena eksplorasi dilakukan dengan berjalan (“walked around”).
