Question

B.M.X.

The B.M.X. (Bicycle Motor Cross) is a bike designed and built for specific purposes. ·

The bike is generally made of steel so that jt is strong and will not bend under the enormous stress that it is subjected to when being ridden. Some bikes, designed especially for B.M.X. racing, are made of aluminium because it is Iighter.

The main difference between B.M.X. and .other bikes is the undersized frame which ailows maximum manoeuvrability. The wheels are also small, with wide tyres. Most have a gyro system of bearings and pulleys that allows the large, curved handlebars to spin 360 degrees. This enables the rider to perform daredevil stunts and tricks. The saddle is low and not padded for comfort because the bike is often ridden by standing on the pedals or on strong, steel stunt pegs that are found on either side of the front and back wheels.

There are now centres in the country where B.M.X. riders take part in competitions. There is even fin event called the 'X Games' which is the Olympics of .the extreme sports world. Many young riders challenge themselves to imitate the daring and complicated exercises performed by the professionals.

Some bikers ride up and down slopes that look like larger versions of skateboard ramps, executing difficult jumps and spins at both ends. Others perform their tricks on flat ground, balancing on small areas of the bike itself. Specially designed B.M.X. bikes, with large, chunky tyres to provide more definite grip, race ten abreast over dirt tracks. There are now a number of separate areas where the bikes can be ridden safely away from cars and pedestrians.

B.M.X. bikes provide riders with the opportunity to use their skill and imagination to carry out gymnastic and artistic stunts.

Halo, Binar. Kakak bantu jawab, ya.

Jawaban yang tepat untuk soal ini adalah "4".

Soal ini meminta kamu untuk mencocokkan topik yang tertera yaitu "different activities" dengan isi paragraf pada teks di atas.

Sebelumnya, perlu diketahui bahwa teks di atas intinya membahas tentang BMX (Biycle Motor Cross).

Kemudian, "Different activities" artinya "Aktivitas berbeda". Berdasarkan arti tersebut, itu menandakan bahwa kamu harus mencari paragraf yang menjelaskan bagaimana BMX digunakan untuk aktifitas selain pertandingan.

Jika dicocokkan dengan isi tiap paragrafnya, didapatkan bahwa topik tersebut ada pada paragraf 4. Hal ini ditunjukkan oleh kalimat pertamanya yang tertulis sebagai berikut:

"Some bikers ride up and down slopes that look like larger versions of skateboard ramps, executing difficult jumps and spins at both ends"

Kalimat tersebut memiliki arti:
"Beberapa pengendara mengendarai BMX dengan menaiki dan menuruni lereng yang terlihat seperti jalur papan seluncur versi lebih lebar, mengeksekusi lompatan dan putaran sulit secara bersamaan".

DIlihat dari arti kalimat tersebut, diketahui bahwa BMX tidak hanya digunakan untuk mengikuti pertandingan saja, tapi juga bisa digunakan untuk melakukan atraksi gaya bebas, seperti menaiki dan menuruni lereng.

Karena kalimat pertamanya menjelaskan pemakaian BMX untuk aktifitas menaiki dan menuruni lereng, maka kalimat seterusnya yang ada pada paragraf 4 juga menjelaskan lebih detail mengenai pemakaian BMX untuk aktifitas berbeda lainnya.

Jadi, jawaban yang benar adalah "4".
