Soal 24
Bona : ... the museum to see the historical things?
Boni : No When will we go there?
Bona : Next Sunday morning.
The underlined expression should be ...
A. is it possible if I visit
B. Am I allowed to go to
C. Do you agree if I go to
D. What do you think if I go to
E. Do you mind accompanying me to visit
Answer & Analysis
Correct answer: E
Main reasoning: Boni’s reply begins with “No” and continues with planning (“When will we go there?”). This strongly fits a question with “Do you mind ...?” because “No” means “I don’t mind,” followed by agreement to arrange the time. Therefore, E is the most natural completion.
Option analysis:
A. This asks about possibility for Bona alone (“I visit”), but Boni responds as if they will go together (“we go there”).
B. This asks for permission, which does not match the friendly planning response.
C. This sounds like Bona will go, asking agreement; yet Boni replies with “we,” suggesting joint activity.
D. Possible, but the “No” response does not naturally follow “What do you think...?” (it would more likely be “Sure” or “That’s a good idea”).
E. Best fit: “Do you mind accompanying me to visit the museum...?” → “No. When will we go there?”
Logic note: A question that invites companionship matches “we go there,” which is \( \gt \) a question about going alone.
Soal 25
Mother : Don't be so noisy, Herman. The baby is sleeping.
Herman : Okay, mom.
Rudi : What did your mother just tell you?
Herman : She told me ... because the baby was sleeping.
The best completion is ...
A. I wasn't so noisy
B. not to be noisy
C. don't be so noisy
D. I am very noisy
E. to be not noisy
Answer & Analysis
Correct answer: B
Main reasoning: The mother’s sentence is an imperative (“Don’t be so noisy”). In reported speech after “told me,” the correct form is an infinitive: “She told me not to be (so) noisy.” Option B matches this structure best.
Option analysis:
A. This is a statement about the past (“I wasn’t...”), not a reported instruction.
B. Correct: “told me not to be noisy” is the appropriate reported command.
C. This repeats the direct command, not reported speech.
D. Opposite meaning and incorrect.
E. Ungrammatical; standard form is “not to be,” not “to be not.”
Logic note: Reported instruction (“told me + to-infinitive”) is \( \gt \) repeating direct speech after “told me.”
Soal 26
Sinta : Will you come with me to the cinema tonight?
Nia : ...
Sinta : All right, I'll fetch you at five o'clock.
The best response by Nia is ...
A. I'd be unhappy to accept it.
B. Yes, that would be very nice.
C. Thank you. Thanks anyway, but some other time, perhaps
D. I'd like to very much, but I am afraid I am busy
E. That's very kind of you, but I have much work to do.
Answer & Analysis
Correct answer: B
Main reasoning: Sinta replies with a plan: “I’ll fetch you at \( 5 \) o'clock.” This indicates Nia accepted the invitation. Among the options, only B clearly accepts in a polite and natural way.
Option analysis:
A. Negative and does not match Sinta’s follow-up plan.
B. Correct acceptance, leading naturally to arranging pickup time.
C. Declines (“some other time”), so Sinta would not plan to fetch her.
D. Declines due to being busy; inconsistent with Sinta’s plan.
E. Declines due to work; inconsistent with Sinta’s plan.
Logic note: Acceptance makes planning possible; acceptance is \( \gt \) refusal for scheduling a pickup.
Soal 27
Paijo : Have you got the extra money from your boss?
Juminah : Of course I have. What about you, Jo?
Paijo : Have you? Yes, I have. And what are you going to spend it for?
Juminah : Well,... buying a VCD.
The best completion is ...
A. I want
B. I'd like
C. I'd prefer
D. I am thinking of
E. I am interested in
Answer & Analysis
Correct answer: D
Main reasoning: The sentence ends with “... buying a VCD.” After the blank, the grammar needs a phrase that correctly takes a gerund (-ing). “I am thinking of” + gerund is the most natural and correct structure.
Option analysis:
A. Would require “to buy,” not “buying.”
B. Would require “to buy,” not “buying.”
C. Would require “to buy,” not “buying.”
D. Correct: “thinking of” is followed by a gerund: “thinking of buying.”
E. Grammatically possible (“interested in buying”), but it sounds less direct for a spending plan than “thinking of” in this context.
Logic note: A plan-in-progress (“thinking of”) is \( \gt \) a general preference statement when answering “what are you going to spend it for?”
Soal 28
A : Do you know the result of the test?
B : Not yet. The announcement ... twice.
The best completion is ...
A. was postponed
B. was being postponed
C. will be postponed
D. has to be postponed
E. has been postponed
Answer & Analysis
Correct answer: E
Main reasoning: “Not yet” suggests the result should have been announced already, but it did not happen. “Twice” indicates repeated delays up to now. The present perfect passive “has been postponed” correctly expresses an action delayed repeatedly with relevance to the present.
Option analysis:
A. Simple past does not clearly connect to the present situation implied by “Not yet.”
B. Past continuous passive is unnatural here and does not fit “twice.”
C. Future passive conflicts with “twice,” which indicates it already happened.
D. “Has to be postponed” means obligation/necessity, not a completed postponement that occurred twice.
E. Correct: “has been postponed twice” is the standard form.
Logic note: “Twice” means the postponement count is \( 2 \), and \( 2 \gt 1 \), so it has happened more than once up to now, supporting present perfect.
