Halo Lili, Kakak bantu jawab ya :)

Jawaban soal ini adalah: is pumped

Soal menanyakan bentuk kata kerja yang tepat untuk mengisi kalimat rumpang nomor 9 pada teks.

Teks ini menjelaskan fakta tentang kertas secara detail, sehingga jenis teks ini adalah Report text dan tense yang dipakai adalah Simple Present Tense.

Adapun arti kalimat rumpang pada soal yaitu:
"Kemudian larutan bubur kayu ini (9) _____ (pompa) ke dalam mesin yang disebut Fourdrinier pada sabuk yang bergerak."

Berdasarkan arti tersebut, kalimat rumpang ini perlu dilengkapi dengan bentuk passive voice yang biasanya memiliki arti "di" atau "ter".

Adapun rumus passive voice yaitu:
Subject + to be + V3 + (by doer).

Subjek pada kalimat soal adalah "this pulp solution" atau kata gantinya yaitu "it", maka memakai to be "is" karena tense nya adalah Simple Present Tense dan bentuk verb 3 dari "pump" adalah "pumped".

Sehingga kalimatnya menjadi "Then this pulp solution is pumped into a machine called Fourdrinier on a moving belt." (Kemudian larutan bubur kayu ini dipompa ke dalam mesin yang disebut Fourdrinier pada sabuk yang bergerak.)

Oleh karena itu, jawaban yang benar adalah: is pumped
