Analisis Soal Numbers and Time: Jam dan Tanggal

The following text is for questions \( 27 \) to \( 30 \).

I have a Hamster named Scruffy. I got him from a pet shop in the mall. I named him Scruffy, because he always scratched his cage.

Since the first time I got Scruffy, I have fallen in love with him. He is a nice hamster. I put a wheel on his cage. He loves to exercise with it. He often sleeps all day and runs on his wheel all night. That is the one I don’t like. It makes me feel lonely when he sleeps all the time. But I can’t do anything because I know that hamsters are nocturnal.

I spend my spare time with Scruffy. I talk about anything to him. I feel that he could understand me.

One day, I got confused because I lost my bicycle key. I tried to find it every where, but I couldn’t find it. I got tired and sat on my bed. I talked to Scruffy. Suddenly he jumped back and forth many times. When I opened his cage he ran quickly under my bed and he came up bringing my bicycle key. I was very surprised. This made me feel sure that Scruffy understood my words.

Jawaban & Analisa

Jawaban: A

Analisa detail: Teks menceritakan hubungan penulis dengan Scruffy, lalu berpuncak pada kejadian unik: Scruffy membantu menemukan kunci sepeda yang hilang. Jadi gagasan utama paling tepat adalah “an interesting moment with a pet hamster”.

Analisa tiap opsi:

A. Tepat, karena inti cerita adalah momen menarik saat hamster membantu menemukan kunci.

B. Kurang tepat, perawatan hanya disebut sekilas (wheel, nocturnal), bukan fokus utama.

C. Kurang tepat, “exercise” hanya detail pendukung tentang wheel.

D. Tidak tepat, tidak ada format “tips/steps”, melainkan cerita pengalaman.

28. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. Scruffy was nocturnal.

B. Scruffy slept all the time.

C. The writer exercised Scruffy.

D. The hamster found the lost key.

Jawaban & Analisa

Jawaban: D

Analisa detail: Paragraf terakhir berisi rangkaian peristiwa “lost my bicycle key” lalu Scruffy berlari “under my bed” dan kembali “bringing my bicycle key”. Inti (main idea) paragraf terakhir adalah hamster menemukan kunci yang hilang.

Analisa tiap opsi:

A. Tidak tepat, “nocturnal” dibahas pada paragraf sebelumnya, bukan inti paragraf terakhir.

B. Tidak tepat, paragraf terakhir tidak fokus pada kebiasaan tidur, melainkan kejadian kunci hilang.

C. Tidak tepat, tidak ada kegiatan “exercise” pada paragraf terakhir.

D. Tepat, karena itu peristiwa utama yang diceritakan.

29. Where did Scruffy find the key?

B. In the bicycle.

C. On the wheel.

D. Under the bed.

Jawaban & Analisa

Jawaban: D

Analisa detail: Teks menyebut jelas: “he ran quickly under my bed and he came up bringing my bicycle key.” Jadi kunci itu ditemukan dari bawah tempat tidur.

Analisa tiap opsi:

A. Tidak tepat, yang dibuka adalah kandangnya, tetapi kunci ditemukan setelah ia lari ke bawah tempat tidur.

B. Tidak tepat, tidak ada informasi kunci berada “di sepeda”.

C. Tidak tepat, wheel disebut untuk olahraga, bukan tempat kunci.

D. Tepat, sesuai frasa “under my bed”.

30. What does the writer do with Scruffy in his spare time?

A. Talks to him

C. Sleeps together all day.

D. Gives him a bicycle ride.

Jawaban & Analisa

Jawaban: A

Analisa tiap opsi:

A. Tepat, sesuai kalimat “I talk about anything to him.”

B. Kurang tepat, yang berolahraga adalah Scruffy dengan wheel, bukan penulis “exercises with him”.

C. Tidak tepat, justru penulis merasa kesepian karena Scruffy tidur siang.
