Question

A long time ago in East Java there were two strong animals, Sura and Baya. Sura was a shark and Baya was a crocodile. Th ey lived in the sea. They were friends, but when they were hungry, they did not want to share their food. They fought over it and never stopped fighting until one of them gave up.

One hot day, Sura and Baya were looking for food. Suddenly Baya saw a goat. “Yummy, this is my lunch,” said Baya. “No way! Th is is my lunch. You are greedy! I haven’t eaten for two days!” said Sura. Then Sura and Baya fought again. While they were fighting, the goat ran away.

After fighting for hours, Sura and Baya felt very tired. “I’m tired of fighting, Baya,” said Sura. “Me too,” said Baya. “We must stop fighting. Do you have any idea how?” “Yes, I do. Let’s separate our territory. I’ll live in the water and look for food in the sea. And you live on the land and in the river and look for food there. Do you agree?” asked Sura.

“Hmm ... let me think about it. OK, I agree. From today, I will never go into the sea again. My place is on the land,” said Baya. 
So they both lived in different places. But one day Sura was very hungry, and there was not much food in the sea. So he went to the land and looked for some food in the river. Baya was very angry when he discovered that Sura had broken the promise. “Hey, what are you doing here? This is my place. Your place is in the sea!” “But, there is water in the river, right? So, this is also my place!” said Sura. Then Sura and Baya fought again. Sura bit Baya’s tail. Baya did the same thing to Sura. He bit very hard until Sura finally gave up. He went back to the sea. Baya was very happy. He had his territory again. That was their last fight. But the place where they had fought was a mess. There was blood everywhere, and people named the place ‘Surabaya’, from Sura the shark and Baya the crocodile. The city logo shows this famous fight.

Do you think that they are best friends?

Halo, kakak bantu jawab ya.

Jawabannya adalah "No, they are not".

Soal menanyakan apakah Sura dan Baya adalah teman baik.

Pembahasan.
Jawaban dapat kita temukan dari kalimat-kalimat yang menjelaskan bahwa mereka bukan teman baik, yaitu:

They were friends, but when they were hungry, they did not want to share their food. They fought over it and never stopped fighting until one of them gave up.

Terjemahan dari kalimat-kalimat di atas adalah:

Mereka berteman, tetapi ketika mereka lapar, mereka tidak mau berbagi makanan. Mereka memperebutkannya dan tidak pernah berhenti berjuang sampai salah satu dari mereka menyerah.

"Mereka" yang dimaksud adalah Sura dan Baya, dapat kita ketahui dari kalimat sebelum kalimat-kalimat di atas, yaitu (Sura was a shark and Baya was a crocodile) yang berarti (Sura adalah hiu dan Baya adalah buaya).

Berdasarkan konteks dan terjemahannya, dapat disimpulkan bahwa Sura dan Baya adalah teman, tetapi bukan teman baik karena mereka selalu berkelahi soal makanan. Teman baik mestinya selalu berbagi tanpa berkelahi.

Jadi, jawabannya adalah "No, they are not".

Semoga membantu ya.
