Question

Firstly, the accused needed money. He was in debt, owing to the bank over $100.000. He had no chance of repaying this: therefore, he needed quick money. That's why he stole the Macquire Diamond.
    Secondly, the accused had the opportunity. As a security guard he could come and go from the exhibition of the diamond without causing suspicion. He had plenty of time on the night of the robbery to take the diamond, hide it and then return to his post before the next guard came on duty.

The prosecution proves that the security guard was guilty because ....
a. he was on duty when the diamond was stolen
b. Macquire Diamond is very expensive
c. he had got big amount of money
d. he had the diamond with him
e. he broke the alarm system

Jawaban:
a. he was on duty when the diamond was stolen

Hello Aura,
Kamu diminta untuk menjawab pertanyaan ini berdasarkan teks yang tersedia.

Pertanyaan "The prosecution proves that the security guard was guilty because . . ." berarti "Penuntut membuktikan bahwa satpam itu bersalah karena . . ."

Coba perhatikan makna kutipan berikut ini:
"Kedua, terdakwa memiliki kesempatan. Sebagai satpam, dia bisa datang dan pergi dari pameran berlian tanpa menimbulkan kecurigaan. Dia punya banyak waktu pada malam perampokan untuk mengambil berlian, menyembunyikannya dan kemudian kembali ke posnya sebelum penjaga berikutnya datang bertugas. Terakhir, terdakwa memiliki kemampuan untuk mengambil Macquire Diamond. Dia memiliki pengetahuan tentang sistem alarmnya dan memiliki kunci untuk membuka etalasenya. Berdasarkan bukti ini anda tidak punya pilihan lain selain menetapkan dia bersalah."

Berdasarkan makna tersebut, dapat diasumsikan bahwa satpam itu terbukti bersalah karena dia sedang bertugas saat berlian itu dicuri (he was on duty when the diamond was stolen) dan dia juga memiliki pengetahuan tentang sistem alarmnya, serta memiliki kunci untuk membuka etalasenya.

Dengan demikian, jawaban yang benar adalah a. he was on duty when the diamond was stolen.
