The following text is for questions 24 to 26.
Every year, there is an art programme in my school. It is conducted in the middle of the semester for \( 2 \) days. It is managed by OSIS. The programme involves all school members. There are two categories of the art performances: class and individual performances (only for third year students). They will perform drama, poetry reading, dance and choir.
First year students will perform dances. As there are \( 5 \) classes of the first graders, each class will perform either a traditional or a modern dance based on the envelope they choose. The envelope contains either yellow or green paper. Yellow paper means traditional dance, while green paper means the modern one. Every student gives support when their classmates perform on the stage.
The second year students will perform choirs. Each class has to sing two songs. The first is chosen from the list provided by the committee while the second song is selected by the team.
The third year students will play drama. The theme is taken from the story “Malin Kundang”. The students wear unique costumes based on the characters they play. Besides drama performance, there are also individual performances, which are for third year students who are interested in poetry reading. The poem may be self-written or taken from any books. Every student will be enthusiastic in watching the show.
24. When does the art programme take place?
| A. | Every year. |
| B. | Every two days. |
| C. | At the end of the semester. |
| D. | In the middle of the semester. |
Jawaban & Analisis
Kunci: D
Analisis inti: Kalimat pembuka menyatakan dengan jelas: “It is conducted in the middle of the semester for \( 2 \) days.” Waktu pelaksanaan yang ditanyakan adalah posisi dalam semester, bukan durasi.
A (Every year): Ini menunjukkan frekuensi, bukan waktu pelaksanaan di dalam semester.
B (Every two days): Salah tafsir; “for \( 2 \) days” adalah durasi, bukan jadwal berulang.
C (At the end of the semester): Bertentangan dengan “in the middle of the semester”.
D (In the middle of the semester): Tepat karena sesuai pernyataan eksplisit pada paragraf pertama.
25. The writer’s purpose of writing the text is ….
| A. | to invite the readers to come to his school |
| B. | to describe an art programme at his/her school |
| C. | to describe a drama performance at his/her school |
| D. | to show the students’ talents in drama and dance |
Jawaban & Analisis
Kunci: B
Analisis inti: Teks menjelaskan secara menyeluruh tentang program seni di sekolah: waktu, pengelola, kategori pertunjukan, serta peran siswa kelas pertama, kedua, dan ketiga. Ini menunjukkan tujuan deskriptif tentang sebuah program.
A (to invite the readers): Tidak ada ajakan atau undangan langsung kepada pembaca.
B (to describe an art programme): Tepat karena seluruh isi teks memaparkan detail program seni.
C (to describe a drama performance): Terlalu sempit; drama hanya salah satu bagian dari program.
D (to show students’ talents in drama and dance): Tidak lengkap karena teks juga membahas choir dan poetry reading.
26. The third year students will perform ….
| A. | dance and choir |
| B. | poem and drama |
| C. | drama and traditional dances |
| D. | traditional and modern dances |
Jawaban & Analisis
Kunci: B
Analisis inti: Paragraf terakhir menyebutkan bahwa siswa kelas tiga “will play drama” dan juga dapat mengikuti “individual performances … interested in poetry reading”. Jadi pertunjukan mereka adalah drama dan puisi.
A (dance and choir): Ini adalah pertunjukan siswa kelas pertama (dance) dan kelas kedua (choir).
B (poem and drama): Tepat karena keduanya secara eksplisit disebut untuk siswa kelas tiga.
C (drama and traditional dances): Tarian tradisional dilakukan oleh siswa kelas pertama, bukan kelas tiga.
D (traditional and modern dances): Ini juga khusus untuk siswa kelas pertama berdasarkan undian amplop.
