Hai Septiangga, kakak bantu jawab yaa.

Jawaban untuk soal ini adalah ‘feed’.

Soal ini meminta kita untuk melengkapi bagian rumpang nomor 1 dalam teks dengan pilihan kata yang sudah disediakan.

Bagian rumpang nomor 1 ada pada kalimat ‘They (1) ___ on cellulose in wood’ (Mereka (1) ___ selulosa dalam kayu).

Pilihan katanya adalah:
- damage (merusak)
- discovered (menemukan)
- consume (memakan)
- mistake (salah mengira)
- tear (merobek)
- construct (membangun)
- feed (memakan)
- known (diketahui)
- access (mengakses)
- came (sampai)

Dari pilihan tersebut, kata yang tepat untuk mengisi bagian rumpang nomor 1 adalah ‘feed’ (memakan). Jika ‘feed’ saja artinya memberi makan, maka ‘feed on’ artinya makan. Karena kalimat pada soal terdapat kata ‘on’ setelah bagian rumpang, maka kata yang tempat adalah ‘feed’, bukan ‘consume’ meskipun artinya juga sama, memakan.

Kalimat lengkapnya menjadi ‘They feed on cellulose in wood’ (Mereka memakan selulosa dalam kayu).

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat untuk soal ini adalah ‘feed’.
