6.    The study found that many… are unresponsive to socio-economic and technological change in the rural sector.
a.     curricula
b.    curricular
c.     curriculas
d.    curriculum
Jawaban: D (curriculum)

Pembahasan: Kata “many” harus diikuti dengan plural noun. Curricula adalah bentuk singular dan curriculum sendiri adalah bentuk plural.

7.    Winona could not explain why… to a convent school.
a.     her parents sent her
b.    did her parents send her
c.     were her parents sending her
d.    her parents were sending her
Jawaban: A

Pembahasan: Noun phrase yang diikuti dengan question words (why, what, when, why, where dan how) harus mengikuti aturan sebagai berikut
Question word + S + verb
Contoh:
I don’t know what you are talking about. (Correct)
I don’t know what are you talking about. (Incorrect. Ingat noun phrase bukan question sentence jadi jangan letakan to be atau pun auxiliary verbs sebelum subject)
I want to know where she lives. (Correct)
I want to know where does she live. (Incorrect)
Jawaban dari pertanyaan di atas adalah ‘her parents sent her’. Kenapa bukan opsi D? Karena biasanya kita menggunakan past progressive  ketika kita membicarakan dua kejadian dalam sebuah kalimat. Sedangkan kalimat di atas hanya mengindikasikan satu kejadian saja yaitu ‘Winona’s parents sent her to a convert school’.

8.    If we see how the new manager treats us, it is very clear that he is… than the previous one.
a.     kind
b.    kinder
c.     kindest
d.    more kind
Jawaban: B

Pembahasan: Kalimat di atas mengharuskan kita menggunakan comparative adjective. Kenapa? Karena di dalam kalimat terdapat kata ‘than’.
Terdapat dua cara untuk membentuk comparative adjective
·       Menambahkan -er: Tambahkan -er untuk adjective yang memiliki satu suku kata (e.g., ebig, small, nice, and kind) atau memiliki dua suku kata yang diahiri dengan huruf ‘y’ (e.g., dirty, nasty, pretty, and busy)
·       Menambahkan more: Tambahkan kata more jika adjective tersebut memiliki dua suku kata yang tidak diahiri ‘y’ (e.g., handsome, awesome, dan peaceful) dan adjective yang memiliki tiga atau lebih suku kata (e.g., wonderful, expensive, generous, and meticulous)
Karena ‘kind’ memiliki satu suku kata, maka kita menambahkan -er.

9.    The surrounding grew… after the submarine descended to the deepest part of the ocean.
a.     darken
b.    darkly
c.     darkening
d.    darkened
Jawaban: C (darkening)

Pembahasan: Ingat ‘grow’ adalah linking verb. Apa itu? Linking verb adalah verb yang menghubungkan noun dan adjective. Linking verb  diikuti dengan adjective tidak dengan adverb.
Contoh
He grows angry every time I remind him about her. (Dalam hal ini ‘angry’ mendeskripsikan ‘he’ dan ‘grow’ berfungsi sebagai linking verb.
The plants grow bigger and bigger every day. (Dalam kalimat ini ‘bigger’ mendeskripsikan ‘plants’ dan ‘grow’ berfungsi sebagai linking verb).
Bisa disimpulkan, ketika berfungsi sebagai linking verb, ‘grow’ memiliki arti yang serupa dengan ‘get’. Perhatikan kalimat-kalimat di bawah ini

§  He grows angry every time I remind him about her.
§  He gets angry every time I remind him about her.
§  The plants grow bigger and bigger.
§  The plants get bigger and bigger.

‘Grow’ juga bisa berfungsi sebagai regular verb. Dalam hal ini, maka kita bisa menggunakan adverb.
Contoh
The plants grow quickly. (Perhatikan kata ‘quickly’ dalam kalimat mendeskripsikan ‘grow’ bukan ‘plants’)
Dalam kalimat di atas, adjective ‘dark’ menjelaskan ‘surrounding’. Maka dalam hal ini, kita harus menempatkan kata ‘grew’ sebagai linking verb dan kata yang mengikutinya harus adjective, yaitu darkening.

10. The parents should not risk… the children in the pool without surveillance.
a.     to leave
b.    leave
c.     leaving
d.    for leaving
Jawaban: C

Pembahasan: Kata kerja ‘risk’ harus diikuti dengan gerund (v+ing). Maka dalam hal ini, jawaban yang tepat adalah ‘leaving’.

Once there, in a village located in Tanimbar Island (Maluku), there lived a rich man with a wife and 2 children that had already been teenagers.
