Question

Feline chlamydial conjunctivitis is an infection caused by a bacterial organism (called Chlamydophila fells). The most common signs of chlamydia in cats Involve the eyes or the upper respiratory tract (nose or throat, and only when infection is not treated does it spread to the lungs. Because chlamydia lives inside cells of the body and is not able to survive for long in the environment, spread of infection relies on direct or close contact with an infected cat. Following infection, the incubation period (the time between infection and development of clinical signs of disease) is between three and ten days.

The bacteria primarily infects the conjunctiva, which are the delicate membranes lining the eyelids and covering the edges of the eyeballs. The infection causes inflammation known as conjunctivitis. In normal cats, the conjunctiva is not readily visible and has a pale, salmon pink color. In cats with conjunctivitis, the conjunctiva becomes swollen and red, making it more visible. The nictitating membrane or third eyelid in the inner corner of the eye may protrude partially across the eye. One or both eyes may be involved.

Affected cats initially develop a watery discharge from the eyes that quickly becomes thicker and is usually a yellow or greenish color. The eyes are uncomfortable and cats often keep the affected eye(s) closed, Many cats remain bright and otherwise appear normal, but some may develop a fever or lose their appetite. After one or two days, sniffles and sneezing may also occur. In kittens, the infection may spread to the lungs and cause a fatal pneumonia.

The correct statement based on the passage is ... 
a. Cats frequently close their eyes when chlamydophila fells has infected their eyes. 
b. Conjunctivitis in cats may be recognized by salmon pink, swollen and red conjunctiva. 
c. Other cats will be afflicted with chlamydia if they live in the same place with infected cats. 
d. Bacteria of chlamydia can infect two more of cats' organs if they do not get any proper treatments. 
e. It takes more than a week to identify whether or not cats show clinical signs of chlamydia after infection.

Soal menanyakan pernyataan yang TEPAT berdasarkan teks.

Pernyataan "Bacteria of chlamydia can infect two more cats' organs if they do not get any proper treatments." (Bakteri klamidia dapat menginfeksi lebih dari dua organ kucing jika tidak mendapatkan perawatan yang tepat) BENAR, karena sesuai dengan kalimat "The most common signs of chlamydia in cats Involve the eyes or the upper respiratory tract (nose or throat, and only when infection is not treated does it spread to the lungs."

Terjemahan: "Tanda-tanda klamidia yang paling umum pada kucing melibatkan mata atau saluran pernapasan bagian atas (hidung atau tenggorokan, dan hanya jika infeksi tidak diobati, infeksi menyebar ke paru-paru)."

Berdasarkan penjabaran tersebut, dapat dipahami bahwa bakteri tersebut memang umunya menyerang dua organ, mata dan hidung/tenggorokan. Akan tetapi, jika tidak diobati maka organ lainnya akan kena yakni paru-paru.

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat adalah D. Bacteria of chlamydia can infect two more cats' organs if they do not get any proper treatments.
