Jawaban yang tepat untuk soal nomor 9 adalah “harvest”.

Soal diatas meminta kita untuk mengisi bagian yang kosong dengan pilihan kata yang tepat.

Teks pada kalimat nomor 9 memiliki arti “Yang pertama terjadi pada tahun 1995 dan disebabkan oleh tingkat stok yang sangat rendah dan …. buruk dari tahun sebelumnya”.  Dari kalimat sebelumnya, kita mendapatkan informasi mengenai dua kali peningkatan impor beras dalam beberapa dekade terakhir yang disebabkan oleh cuaca.

Dalam kalimat tersebut, sebelum bagian kosong terdapat kata “poor”, yaitu adjective. Oleh karena itu, bagian yang kosong harus diisi dengan noun atau kata benda.

Dari pilihan kata benda yang ada, pilihan kata yang tepat adalah “harvest” yang berarti “panen”. Kalimatnya menjadi “The first occurred in 1995 and was caused by the extremely low level of stocks and poor harvest of the previous year,” yang artinya “Yang pertama terjadi pada tahun 1995 dan disebabkan oleh tingkat stok yang sangat rendah dan panen yang buruk dari tahun sebelumnya”. Jadi, kedua hal inilah yang mengakibatkan tingginya impor beras dalam beberapa dekade terakhir.

Jadi, kata yang tepat untuk mengisi bagian yang kosong pada nomor 9 adalah “harvest”.
