Halo, kakak bantu jawab ya :) Jawabannya adalah D. Don't count your chickens before they are hatched. Kalimat soal "What can we learn from the story above?" berarti "Apa yang bisa kita pelajari dari cerita di atas?" Berdasarkan kalimat "She further thought, 'I shall sell some of my chickens and buy a fine dress. Seeing it on my body at the party, all the boys will admire me. But I will turn them away'. She went on day dreaming; she forgot about the pail on her head. She moved her head suddenly and the pail of milk came tumbling down. It was broken and all the milk split." (Dia lalu berpikir, "Aku akan menjual beberapa ayamku dan membeli gaun yang bagus. Memakainya di badanku di pesta, semua anak laki-laki akan mengagumiku. Tapi aku akan menolaknya'. Dia terus bermimpi; dia lupa dengan ember di kepalanya. Dia menggerakkan kepalanya tiba-tiba dan ember susu itu jatuh. Ember tersebut rusak dan semua susu tumpah). Dari kalimat dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemerah susu terus berharap pada sesuatu yang belum pasti sampai akhirnya harapan tersebut tidak dapat terkabul karena kelalainnya sendiri menumpahkan hasil perahan susu sapinya. Kejadian ini tepat menggambarkan ungkapan pilihan D. Don't count your chickens before they are hatched, yang artinya "Seseorang tidak boleh bergantung pada sesuatu yang diharapkan sampai dia tahu pasti bahwa itu akan terjadi." (Someone should not depend on something hoped until he or she knows for certain that it will happen). Jadi, jawaban yang benar adalah D. Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.
