Question

A natural disaster is a terrible accident, e.g. a great flood, a big fire or an earthquake. It usually causes great suffering and loss of a large sum of money. The casualties are injured or died. Some people are homeless and need medical care.

Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams overflow their banks and pour onto the surrounding land. Floods are caused by many different things. Often heavy rainstorms that last for a brief can cause a flood. But not all heavy storms are followed by flooding. If the surrounding land is flat and can absorb the water, the floods will not occur. If, however, the land is hard and rocky, heavy rain cannot be absorbed. Where the banks are low, a river may overflow and flood adjacent lowland.

In many part of the world, flood are caused by tropical storms called hurricanes or typhoons. They bring destructive winds of high speed, torrents of rain and flood. When a flood occurs, the destruction to surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and towns are sometimes swept away by water pouring swifdy over the land. Railroad track is blocked and uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed away.

When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help batde the blaze. Before the pumps were invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side, they formed a human chain from the fire to nearby well or river. They passed buckets of water to be poured on the flames.

The damage of the fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In the country or a small village, only a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities, fire often destroyed whole blocks and neighborhoods before being controlled.

What do we know about the text?
a. Fires in big cities are always very big.
b. People no longer use buckets to control fire.
c. Only firemen can control fires in crowded cities.
d. The pump is the only tool used by fire fighters now.
e. The pump helps people to fight fires more efficiently

Halo Binar S, kakak bantu jawab ya.

Jawaban untuk soal di atas adalah b. People no longer use buckets to control fire.

Soal ini menanyakan hal yang dapat diketahui dari teks.

Pada paragraf keempat disebutkan "Before the pumps were invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side, they formed a human chain from the fire to nearby well or river. They passed buckets of water to be poured on the flames" yang artinya "Sebelum pompa ditemukan, orang membentuk brigade ember untuk memadamkan api. Berdiri berdampingan, mereka membentuk rantai manusia dari api ke sumur atau sungai terdekat. Mereka melewati ember air untuk dituangkan di atas api."

Berdasarkan kalimat tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa yang dapat diketahui dari teks adalah orang tidak lagi menggunakan ember untuk mengendalikan api.

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat adalah b. People no longer use buckets to control fire.
