21. —— Jane has an excellent resume, she hasn't found a job yet.
(A) However
(B) Yet
(C) That
(D) Although
Terdapat dua cluse: clause 1 (Jane has an excellent resume),
clause 2 (she hasn't found a job yet). Karena ada dua clause maka
kita butuh 1 connector untuk menghubungkan ke dua clause
tersebut. Dari pilihan jawaban yang ada, hanya pilihan B dan D yang
merupakan connector. Pilihan B salah karena kata yet ketika
menjadi connector berada di tengah clause atau di antara ke dua
clause bukan di awal kalimat; yet masuk dalam coordinate
connector. Pilihan paling tepat ialah D. Although masuk dalam
kategori subordinate connector yang letaknya bisa di antara ke dua
clause bisa juga depan kalimat

 (A) Philadelphia’s agriculture importance

(B) Philadelphia’s development as a marketing center
(C) The sale of imported goods in Philadelphia

Untuk soal reading seperti ini, kita harus mengutamakan pencarian kata kunci.

diminta untuk mencari tahu kata yang artinya hampir sama dengan ‘persisted’ (bertahan)
dalam konteks paragraf tersebut. (A) returned (kembali), (B) started (dimulai), dan (C)
declined (mundur) tidak sesuai dengan kata ‘persisted’. Hanya (D) continued (berlanjut) saja
yang memiliki arti yang mirip dengan ‘persisted’ dalam konteks hal tersebut terus bertahan.
Dikarenakan itu, jawabannya adalah : (D) continued
