A B C D

Pada contoh soal diatas, kamu harus menentukan pilihan mana yang salah. Nah jika kita Analisa,
maka pilihan yang salah adalah pilihan A (much). Mengapa salah, karena much adalah modifier
(penjeles) yang berupa adverb of quantity yang hanya digunakan untuk menerangkan benda yang
tidak dapat dihitung (uncountable), sementara superstitions merupakan benda yang dapat dihitung
(countable noun) yang ditandai dengan adanya (s) pada akhir kata tersebut. Kata much harus dirubah
menjadi Many agar kalimat tersebut menjadi benar.

Ok, tugas kamu hanyalah mencari jawaban yang salah bukan jawaban yang benar.
C. Reading Section
Pada sesi ini terdapat 50 soal reading.
Terdapat 5 bacaan pada sesi ini, setiap bacaan mempunyai subject yang berbeda-beda, dan setiap
bacaan terdiri dari kurang lebih 8-11 soal.
Contoh bacaaan:
The reasons for the extinction of a
species and for the rapid rates of change in
our environment are currently the focus of
Line much scientific research. An individual
(5) species' susceptibility to extinction depends
on at least two things: the taxon (the
biological group—kingdom, phylum, class,
order, family, or genus) to which a species
belongs, and the overall rate of
(10) environmental change. Fossil evidence
shows that more mammals and birds
become extinct than do mollusks or insects.
Studies of the extinction of the dinosaurs
and other reptiles during the Cretaceous
(15) Period show that a changing environment
affects different tаха in different ways.
Some may be dramatically affected, others
less so.
The best way to answer the question of
(20) what causes an extinction is to combine
fields of inquiry and a variety of viewpoints.
Using the fossil record and historical
documentation, the different rates of the
extinction of various taxa and different
(25) responses to environmental change can be
detected. Then the evolutionary
development of the different species can be
compared, and traits that may be
disadvantageous can be singled out. Finally,
(30) researchers can use mathematical formulae
to determine whether a population is likely
to adapt itself to the changing environment
or disappear. Hopefully, as more of this
information is collected, specialists in
(35) different fields— e.g. physiological and
behavioral ecology, population ecology,
community ecology, evolutionary biology
and systematics, biogeography, and
paleobiology — will work together to make
(40) predictions about the broader changes that
might occur in the ecosystem.
Kamu harus memilih 1 jawaban yang benar dari setiap soal yang ada.
1. Which of the following is the main topic of
the passage?
(A) assessment of the work of specialists
concerned with ecology
(B) a discussion of possible causes of
extinction, and of ways to make
predictions about environmental change
(C) the changing aspects of our environment
(D) a comparison of the extinction rates of
different taxa
2. The word susceptibility in line 5 is closest in
meaning to
(A) insensitivity
(B) receptiveness
(C) immunity
(D) vulnerability
3. An example of a taxon would be
(A) a phylum
(B) the rate of environmental change
(C) a fossil
(D) studies of extinction
4. The author compares mammals and birds to
(A) mollusks and insects
(B) phylum and class
(C) dinosaurs and reptiles
(D) ecologists and biologists
5. It can be inferred from the passage that a
significant event of the Cretaceous Period
was
(A) the appearance of many taxa
(B) the dramatic effect of the dinosaur on
the environment
(C) the extinction of birds
(D) the extinction of dinosaurs
