The following text is for question 5 to 8.

To : Nia Nurmala

Dear Nia,

I would like to tell you about BBG, it’s very interesting to visit, it near my house in Bogor.

Bogor Botanical Garden (BBG) is located in the centre of Bogor. It has the most complete tropical trees and is arranged the most beautifully in the world. The trees are planted according to their families.

BBG gives important contribution to sciences. As expected by Reinhardt, a botanist who wanted to establish the botanical garden, now it appears as the centre of important scientific research. Not only students and scientists, but also soldiers come here. Students and botanists from all over the world come to make scientific literature. Soldiers come to this garden to study the kinds of fruit, leaves, roots and trunks of trees that can be eaten when they held out in forests.

When you have time, please come here to walk around in BBG.

Love

Daniel Beckam


5. “… now it appears as the centre of important scientific research … (paragraph 3) What does it refer to?”

ABogor Botanical Garden
BReinhardt
CBotanist
DScience
Jawaban & Analisa (Klik)

Jawaban benar: A. Bogor Botanical Garden

Analisa: Kata rujukan “it” muncul setelah pembahasan “BBG …” pada paragraf 3: “BBG gives important contribution to sciences … now it appears as the centre of important scientific research.” Jadi “it” merujuk kembali pada BBG (Bogor Botanical Garden), bukan pada orang atau bidangnya.

Ulasan opsi:

A benar karena yang “muncul sebagai pusat penelitian” adalah tempat/objek BBG.

B salah karena Reinhardt adalah tokoh yang “wanted to establish”, bukan yang “appears as the centre”.

C salah karena “a botanist” hanya keterangan profesi Reinhardt.

D salah karena “science” adalah bidang, bukan sesuatu yang “located/appears” sebagai pusat tempat.


6. Which one of the following statements below is not correct according to the text?

A BBG has the most complete tropical trees and they are planted according to their families.
B BBG is arranged the most beautifully in the world.
C BBG gives important contribution to sciences.
D Soldiers come to BBG to make scientific literature.
Jawaban & Analisa (Klik)

Jawaban benar: D. Soldiers come to BBG to make scientific literature.

Analisa: Teks menyatakan: “Students and botanists … come to make scientific literature.” Sedangkan “Soldiers come … to study the kinds of fruit, leaves, roots and trunks … that can be eaten … in forests.” Jadi yang membuat scientific literature adalah students and botanists, bukan soldiers.

Ulasan opsi:

A benar karena sesuai kalimat: “It has the most complete tropical trees … The trees are planted according to their families.”

B benar karena sesuai kalimat: “is arranged the most beautifully in the world.”

C benar karena sesuai kalimat: “BBG gives important contribution to sciences.”

D salah karena bertentangan dengan fungsi kedatangan soldiers yang dijelaskan di teks.


7. What is the main idea of the 3rd paragraph?

AThe hope of Reinhardt to BBG.
BBBG is the centre of scientific research.
CThe contributions of BBG for science.
DStudents, botanists and soldiers make scientific research.
Jawaban & Analisa (Klik)

Jawaban benar: C. The contributions of BBG for science.

Analisa: Paragraf 3 dibuka dengan kalimat topik: “BBG gives important contribution to sciences.” Kalimat-kalimat setelahnya menjelaskan bukti kontribusi itu: menjadi pusat penelitian, dikunjungi students/scientists/botanists/soldiers dengan tujuan ilmiah yang berbeda. Jadi gagasan utamanya adalah kontribusi BBG bagi ilmu pengetahuan, bukan satu detail saja.

Ulasan opsi:

A terlalu sempit: Reinhardt hanya disebut sebagai latar “expected by Reinhardt”.

B benar sebagai detail penting, tetapi masih bagian dari kontribusi; bukan rangkuman paling menyeluruh.

C paling mewakili seluruh isi paragraf (kalimat utama + penjelas).

D tidak tepat karena teks tidak menyebut semua pihak “make scientific research”; ada yang “make scientific literature”, ada yang “study … can be eaten”.


8. Not only students and scientists, but also soldiers come here. The closest meaning with the underline word is ….

AResearcher
BFounder
CInventor
DDeveloper
Jawaban & Analisa (Klik)

Jawaban benar: A. Researcher

Analisa: Dalam konteks “centre of important scientific research”, kata “scientists” merujuk pada orang yang melakukan penelitian ilmiah, yaitu researcher. Pilihan lain (founder, inventor, developer) tidak selalu terkait penelitian ilmiah di kebun botani.

Ulasan opsi:

A tepat karena sinonim konteksnya adalah peneliti.

B tidak tepat: founder = pendiri (lebih cocok untuk Reinhardt yang ingin mendirikan).

C tidak tepat: inventor = penemu alat/temuan tertentu, bukan makna umum “scientist”.

D tidak tepat: developer = pengembang (umum, sering untuk perangkat lunak), bukan padanan langsung “scientist”.
