Question

A rare mouse-deer-one of the smallest hoofed animals in the world-has been born at a Hampshire zoo.

The Javan chevrotain was born weighing 370 g (130z) at Marwell Zoo near Winchester, which is currently closed to the public due to the pandemic.

Keepers said the youngster was born to parents Gus and Gwen in the zoo's tropical house and was "doing well".

Tim Rowlands, from the zoo, said, "All deer species will hide their young until they are older, so they will only really come out to feed then hide again."

"There are very few zoos who care for any of the mouse-deer species as they are so small in size, very secretive, and nocturnal, so any youngster born is great news for the conservation breeding program."

It's not known exactly how many of the animals live in the wild on the Indonesian island of Java.

When born, the young are the size of a rat and can run and jump soon after birth. The young suckle only occasionally, and only at night. Marwell Zoo, which is home to more than 140 species, is currently closed to the public because of lockdown restrictions.

Hello Novita,
Kamu diminta untuk menjawab pertanyaan ini berdasarkan teks yang tersedia.

Pertanyaan "Why can people not see the young mouse-deer every moment?" memiliki makna "Mengapa orang-orang tidak bisa melihat kancil muda setiap saat?"

Perhatikan kalimat kutipan berikut ini:
Tim Rowlands, from the zoo, said, "All deer species will hide their young until they are older, so they will only really come out to feed then hide again." (Tim Rowlands, dari kebun binatang ini, berkata, "Semua spesies rusa (kancil) akan menyembunyikan anak-anaknya sampai mereka dewasa, jadi mereka hanya akan benar-benar keluar untuk mencari makan lalu bersembunyi lagi.")

Berdasarkan makna tersebut, kita bisa tahu bahwa orang-orang tidak bisa melihat kancil muda setiap saat karena induknya akan menyembunyikannya sampai ia lebih besar (Its parent will hide it until it is older.)

Dengan demikian, jawaban yang benar adalah E. Its parent will hide it until it is older.

Semoga mudah dipahami ya penjelasannya, tetap semangat belajar ya.
