Soal 33
(33) …
A. work
B. home
C. office
D. school
E. company
Answer & Detailed Analysis
Key: A
Analysis: The sentence is: “Mr. Walker went to (33) … by car everyday, and he took Harry with him to his office.” The second clause says Mr. Walker has an office, so he is an adult employee/worker. The natural phrase is “went to work.” Also, he took Harry with him to his office, which is part of his workplace.
A. Correct: “went to work” is the correct collocation and matches “to his office.”
B. Incorrect: “went to home” is ungrammatical; it should be “went home.”
C. Incorrect: “went to office” is possible, but the sentence already ends with “to his office,” so repeating “office” is awkward and not the best fit.
D. Incorrect: “went to school” would not match “to his office.”
E. Incorrect: “went to company” is unnatural; we usually say “went to work” or “went to the office/company” but the sentence already specifies the office.
Soal 34
(34) …
A. orders
B. questions
C. responses
D. comments
E. questionaires
Answer & Detailed Analysis
Key: B
Analysis: The sentence is: “But first I’m going to ask you some (34) … Now, do you know the meaning of these traffic lights?” The phrase “ask you some …” must be followed by “questions.” The next line is also a question, supporting that he is asking questions.
A. Incorrect: we do not “ask” someone “orders.”
B. Correct: “ask you some questions” is the standard and logical phrase.
C. Incorrect: responses are answers, not what you ask.
D. Incorrect: “ask you some comments” is unnatural; comments are usually given, not asked in this way.
E. Incorrect: “questionaires” (also misspelled; should be “questionnaires”) refers to a form/survey, not suitable here.
Soal 35
(35) …
A. slowly
B. rapidly
C. happily
D. quickly
E. curiously
Answer & Detailed Analysis
Key: C
Analysis: The line is: “Yes, I do,” Harry answered (35) … “Red is ‘stop’, green is ‘go’, and yellow is ‘go very fast’!” The answer is humorous and confident, and the context is pleasant (his father promises him a bicycle). “Happily” fits the emotional tone best.
A. Less suitable: “answered slowly” focuses on speed of speech, not the tone of the situation.
B. Possible but weaker: “rapidly” is about speed, not the cheerful mood.
C. Correct: the situation is positive, and he answers in a cheerful way.
D. Possible but weaker: “quickly” is about speed, not the feeling.
E. Incorrect: “curiously” means with curiosity; he is not asking, he is answering confidently.
