Question

GORILLAS
    Gorillas are the largest of all the primates. A male gorilla can be 180 centimeters tall and can weigh 200 kilograms. Gorillas are very strong but they do not often fight. In fact they are peaceful animals. Gorillas live in small family groups of about 15. In a group there is one strong, older male, some young males, and a few females with their babies. They move slowly around a large area of jungle eating leaves and bushes.
    In some ways gorillas are very like humans. When they are happy, they laugh and wave their arms. When they are angry, they beat their chests. When they are sad, they cry. But they cry quietly, without any tears. Unfortunately, people hunt and kill gorillas. They also cut down and burn their trees. There are now only about 10,000 gorillas left in the world.

To describe gorillas in general. / To describe factual information about gorillas.

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

Pertanyaan "What is the text written for?" memiliki makna "Untuk apa teks tersebut ditulis?" sama artinya dengan "Apa tujuan dari teks tersebut?"

Coba perhatikan makna kalimat pembuka pada paragraf pertama ini:
"Gorillas are the largest of all the primates. A male gorilla can be 180 centimeters tall and can weigh 200 kilograms. Gorillas are very strong but they do not often fight. In fact they are peaceful animals." (Gorila adalah primata yang terbesar. Gorila jantan bisa mencapai tinggi 180 sentimeter dan berat 200 kilogram. Gorila sangat kuat tetapi mereka tidak sering berkelahi. Sebenarnya mereka adalah hewan yang damai.)

Berdasarkan makna tersebut, kita bisa tahu bahwa teks ini merupakan jenis teks Report yang menjelaskan tentang hewan Gorila secara umum. Tujuan dari teks report (purpose of the text) ini adalah:
- To describe gorillas in general. (Untuk menggambarkan gorila secara umum.) atau
- To describe factual information about gorillas. (Untuk mendeskripsikan informasi faktual tentang gorila.)

Dengan demikian, jawaban yang benar adalah "To describe gorillas in general."
