I was on a tour bus with my classmates. We were on our way back to school after a long day visiting museums and an amusement park. No wonder we left very thirsty. So we gave a big hurrah when two of our friends distributed soft drinks. Soon the bus was noisy with gulping sounds. Everyone was enjoying his/her own drink. Everyone? Well, no... I found the taste of the soft drink kind of funny. It was sour. I felt suspicious and quickly looked for the expiry date printed on the back of the cartoon. May 201 Gosh...that was nearly two months ago. I stood up, cleared my throat and said, "Stop drinking! These soft drinks are already expired. The expiry date is last May. "At once almost everyone stop drinking. Some of my friends even threw their half empty drinks into the garbage bins along the bus aisle. Then I heard a voice shouting, "you fool, that's May next year, not May this year!" Now everybody gave me a dark look. I felt terrible because I knew that we were still thirsty. I found out later that the drinks tasted sour because they had a new lime flavour. The writer would not realize his mistake his friends read the correct expired date on the ... one of label. A. although B. because C. unless D. when

Halo, Lili. Kakak bantu jawab, ya. Jawaban untuk soal ini adalah C. unless. Soal ini meminta untuk melengkapi bagian rumpang pada kalimat yang tertera. Sebelumnya perlu diketahui bahwa ada kesalahan penulisan pada kalimat soal. Seharusnya, kalimat soal ditulis "The writer would not realize his mistake ____ his friends read the correct expired date on the one of label". Teks di soal ini intinya menceritakan pengalaman penulis teks ketika salah menyangka minuman bersoda yang diminum olehnya dan teman-temannya sudah kadaluwarsa. Kemudian kalimat "The writer would not realize his mistake ____ his friends read the correct expired date on the one of label" artinya "Penulis tidak akan menyadari kesalahannya ____ temannya membaca tanggal kadaluwarsa yang benar pada salah satu label". Selanjutnya perhatikan arti tiap kata di opsi jawaban berikut: A. although artinya "walaupun". B. because artinya "karena". C. unless artinya "kecuali jika". D. when artinya "ketika". Dilihat dari arti kalimat dan opsi jawaban, dapat ditentukan bahwa bagian rumpang tersebut cocok diisi dengan kata 'unless' di opsi C yang artinya "kecuali jika" karena penulis memang tidak akan sadar dirinya salah mengira tanggal kadaluwarsa minuman bersoda itu 'jika' temannya 'tidak' membaca tanggal kadaluwarsa yang benar. Oleh karena itu, berikut kalimat yang sudah lengkap: "The writer would not realize his mistake unless his friends read the correct expired date on the one of label" artinya "Penulis tidak akan menyadari kesalahannya kecuali jika temannya membaca tanggal kadaluwarsa yang benar pada salah satu label". Jadi, jawaban untuk soal ini adalah C. unless.
