Soal 5
What is the text about?
A. The marketing sales for international networks.
B. The promotion of Boeing \( \text{B777-300} \) Extended Range.
C. Jakarta – London route in a wide-bodied Boeing \( \text{B777-300} \).
D. The launching of Garuda’s service from Jakarta to London.
E. The purpose of developing economic, business, and social activities.
Answer and Detailed Analysis
Answer: D. The launching of Garuda’s service from Jakarta to London.
Detailed reasoning: The first sentence states that Garuda Indonesia “begins its new flight service,” and the next lines explain the Jakarta–London route (including a stop in Amsterdam), aircraft details, onboard facilities, and frequency. That is a report about the start/launch of the route.
Option-by-option analysis:
A. Marketing sales → The text mentions a sales and marketing director, but the content is about starting a service, not sales strategy.
B. Promotion of Boeing → Aircraft details are supporting information, not the main focus.
C. Jakarta–London route in a Boeing → Close, but the core news is the service launch (not only the aircraft type).
D. Launching Garuda’s service → Correct; the text centers on the new service and its details.
E. Purpose of developing activities → This is one aim mentioned, not the full topic of the report.
LaTeX note (required symbols): The launch information is \( \gt \) aircraft configuration details as the text’s main topic.

Answer and Detailed Analysis
Answer: B. increase
Detailed reasoning: The statement says the opening of the route will “further develop economics, business, social and tourism activities” between Indonesia and the UK. “Further develop” implies strengthening relations, so the relationship would increase.
Option-by-option analysis:
A. decline → Opposite of “further develop.”
B. increase → Matches the idea of developing and expanding activities.
C. subtract → Not a suitable verb for relationship growth.
D. eliminate → Opposite and illogical here.
E. deteriorate → Opposite of “further develop.”
LaTeX note (required symbols): “Develop activities” suggests change \( \gt \) \( 0 \) toward improvement.

Answer and Detailed Analysis
Answer: E. The opening of the route is aim at developing relationship in some sectors.
Detailed reasoning: Paragraph 2 explains the airline’s belief that opening the route will develop economic, business, social, and tourism activities between Indonesia and the UK. The Amsterdam stop is only an added detail, while the central idea is the goal/benefit of the route opening.
Option-by-option analysis:
A. Stated the news → True detail (he spoke), but not the main idea.
B. Depart on Monday morning → Mentioned in paragraph 1, not the main point of paragraph 2.
C. UK tourism business will develop → Too narrow; the paragraph lists several sectors, not only tourism.
D. Stop in Amsterdam → A supporting route detail, not the main message.
E. Aim at developing relationship in sectors → Correct; captures the paragraph’s key message.
LaTeX note (required symbols): The paragraph’s “aim/benefit” idea is \( \gt \) the stopover detail in importance.

Barcelona: Lionel Messi preferred to focus on winning trophies rather than attempting to better the \( 73 \) goals he scored for Barcelona last season, when he spoke at a news conference on Wednesday.
The world player of the year rattled in an unprecedented tally in all competitions in the last campaign, helping Pep Guardiola and his four-year tenure as coach with another \( 4 \) trophies to add to the \( 10 \) he had already won.
“I’m not looking to beat my tally of goals, that is not my objective,” Messi said. “I want to try and develop as a player and to give more to the team. I hope I still have margin to continue improving. My objective is to win more titles.”
Real Madrid and Chelsea denied Barca the major prizes last year, Jose Mourinho’s side winning La Liga and Chelsea knocking them out of the Champions League in the semi-finals on their way to a final victory over Bayern Munich.
“I hope we can get back to winning everything again,” he added.
“We know it is very difficult to do, but I am still hurting from losing the semi-final against Chelsea with the penalty I missed, and La Liga with the defeat to Madrid at the Nou Camp.”
Soal 8
The text is about ....
A. a final victory over Bayern Munich
B. Barcelona, the major prize last year
C. Messi’s ambition to win more titles
D. the defeat to Real Madrid at the Nou Camp
E. the match between Real Madrid and Chelsea
Answer and Detailed Analysis
Answer: C. Messi’s ambition to win more titles
Detailed reasoning: Messi is quoted saying his objective is not to beat goal totals but “to win more titles.” The rest of the text supports this: it contrasts trophies with goals and mentions disappointments from missing major prizes.
Option-by-option analysis:
A. Final victory over Bayern → Mentioned as part of Chelsea’s path, not the main focus.
B. Barcelona major prize last year → The text says Barca were denied major prizes, not that they won them.
C. Messi’s ambition to win more titles → Correct; directly stated and repeated.
D. Defeat to Real Madrid → One detail of disappointment, not the whole focus.
E. Match between Real Madrid and Chelsea → Not the focus; only referenced indirectly.
LaTeX note (required symbols): Winning trophies is \( \gt \) breaking the \( 73 \)-goal tally as Messi’s priority in the text.

Answer and Detailed Analysis
Answer: E. Barca neither won in champion league and in La Liga.
Detailed reasoning: The text says: “Real Madrid and Chelsea denied Barca the major prizes last year,” then explains: Mourinho’s side won La Liga, and Chelsea knocked Barca out of the Champions League in the semi-finals. This means Barca did not win La Liga and did not win the Champions League.
Option-by-option analysis:
A. Chelsea didn’t win because of Barca’s competence → Not stated; Chelsea progressed and won their final.
B. Worried to Barca → Not stated and unclear.
C. Suicide goal → Not mentioned.
D. Real Madrid had draw → Not stated; it mentions defeat to Madrid at Nou Camp.

D. the only team which can beat Barcelona is Chelsea from England
E. Barcelona won in champion league and La Liga
Answer and Detailed Analysis
Answer: C. Pep. Guardiola coached Barcelona for four years and won \( 10 \) trophies
Detailed reasoning: The text mentions “Pep Guardiola and his four-year tenure as coach” and says there were “another \( 4 \) trophies to add to the \( 10 \) he had already won.” This supports the statements that he had a four-year tenure and had won \( 10 \) trophies (already) at that point in the report.
Option-by-option analysis:
A. Unbeatable team → Not stated; the text even shows Barca were denied prizes.
B. Bayern and Real defeated Barcelona → Bayern is mentioned in Chelsea’s final, not as defeating Barca.
C. Four-year tenure and \( 10 \) trophies → Best supported by the sentence about tenure and trophies already won.
D. Only team that can beat Barca is Chelsea → Not stated; Madrid also denied Barca in La Liga.
E. Barca won Champions League and La Liga → Contradicted by the text.
LaTeX note (required symbols): The support for option C is \( \gt \) support for any other option because it uses numbers given in the text (\( 4 \), \( 10 \)).
