Question

Lutung Kasarung 

A long time ago in west Java there was a kingdom. The king was Prabu Tapak Agung. He had two beautiful daughters and no son. Purba Rarang was his first daughter, and Purba Sari was his second daughter. When the king was about to pass away he gave the throne to his second daughter, Purba Sari. Purba Rarang was very jealous and asked a witch to cast a spell to Purb Sari. After that Purba Sari had a strange skin disease. There were black dots on her skin. 

Consequently Purba Rarang had a reason to tell people that her sister had a great sin and she was cursed by god and was not qualified to be a leader.
After that she ordered the army to send Purba Sari to a wood and had her exiled there. The army then built a wooden house for Purba Sari in a wood. So Purba Sari lived in the wooden house. She got along with Lutung Kasarung well as there were many animals im the jungle.

Lutung Kasarung was not an ordinary monkey, because he often meditates like human being. Lutung was very attentive and very kind to her. One night when there was a full moon he sat meditating. He was praying to God. Suddenly a spring emerged beside Lutung. It became bigger and bigger and finally it became a lake. The water was very clear and aromatic.

The next day Lutung came to see Purba Sari. He asked her to follow him. Lutung took her to the lake and asked her to take a bath. When Purba Sari took bath in the lake something strange happened. Her skin disease was gone and her smooth fair skin was back. Purba Sari was very happy and thankful to God.

Meanwhile Purba Rarang who lived in the palace wanted to see her sister. So she went to the wood with her soldiers. She was very jealous when she saw Purba Sari was in good condition and looked beautiful. Purba Rarang was very jealous to her sister. She thought hard to find a way to beat Purba Sari. Then she got another idea. She asked her sister to compare their fiancé. Purba Rarang was sure that she would win because Indra Jaya was very handsome. When Purba Rarang showed Indra Jaya, Purba Sari was confused. So she just appointed Lutung Kasarung as her fiancé.

"So your fiancé is a monkey?" Purba Rarang laughed out loud.

Lutung Kasarung then sat on the ground. He was meditating and praying to God. Then amazingly he changed into a very handsome man. Initially Lutung Kasarung was a handsome man who was punished by God and became a monkey. Purba Rarang was very *surprised*. He had no choice. She admitted that her sister was better than her. She asked for apology to her sister. Forgiving Purba Rarang they went back to palace. At the end, Purba Sari became the queen and married to Lutung Kasarung

Halo, Tamiwin. Kakak bantu jawab, ya.

Tidak ada jawaban untuk soal ini.
Seharusnya, jawaban untuk soal ini adalah "How Lutung Kasarung was very attentive and very kind to Purba Sari" (Bagaimana Lutung Kasarung sangat penuh perhatian dan sangat baik pada Purba Sari).

Soal ini menanyakan inti bahasan paragraf 3 pada teks.

Sebelumnya perlu diketahui bahwa pada paragraf 1 dan 2 diceritakan bahwa ada putri penerus tahta bernama Purba Sari yang dikutuk mengidap penyakit kulit oleh penyihir atas permintaan kakaknya, Purba Rarang. Kemudian, Purba Sari diasingkan di hutan dan ditemani oleh seekor monyet, yaitu Lutung Kasarung.

Selanjutnya, perhatikan isi paragraf 3 berikut untuk menjawab soalnya:
"Lutung Kasarung was not an ordinary monkey, because he often meditates like human being. Lutung was very attentive and very kind to her. One night when there was a full moon, he sat meditating. He was praying to God. Suddenly a spring emerged beside Lutung. It became bigger and bigger and finally it became a lake. The water was very clear and aromatic".

Paragraf 3 memiliki arti:
"Lutung Kasarung bukan monyet biasa karena dia sering meditasi seperti manusia. Lutung sangat penuh perhatian dan baik pada Purba Sari. Suatu malam ketika bulan purnama, dia duduk bermeditasi. Dia berdoa pada Tuhan. Tiba-tiba, mata air muncul di sebelah Lutung. Mata air itu terus membesar dan akhirnya menjadi sebuah danau. Airnya sangat jernih dan harum".

Berdasarkan artinya, paragraf 3 intinya membahas tentang bagaimana Lutung Kasarung sangat penuh perhatian dan baik pada Purba Sari. Hal ini terlihat dari dia yang berdoa pada Tuhan terkait penyakit Purba Sari.

Jadi, jawaban untuk soal ini seharusnya adalah "How Lutung Kasarung was very attentive and very kind to Purba Sari" (Bagaimana Lutung Kasarung sangat penuh perhatian dan sangat baik pada Purba Sari).
