Nuclear Energy: Advantage or Disadvantage

Nuclear energy is commonly offered as an alternative to overcome the crisis of energy. The debate of whether the use of nuclear energy is an appropriate choice has not come to an end. Some people agree with the utilization of it because of its benefits. Some others, however, disagree because of its risks to the environment.

Those who agree with the operation of nuclear reactors usually argue that nuclear energy is the only feasible choice to answer the ever-increasing energy needs. In their opinion, the other sources of energy: oil, coal, and liquid natural gas are not renewable and safe, while nuclear energy can be sustainable when produced in a safe way.
 
However, people who disagree with the use of nuclear energy point out that the waste of nuclear products can completely destroy the environment and human lives. A meltdown in reactor, for example, usually results in the contamination of the surroundings soil and water. Take for example, the blow up of the nuclear reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station in Russia twenty years ago. The serious contamination imperiled people and the environment severely

It is obvious that nuclear energy should be avoided because it really endanger the environment but what about a less polluted energy instead of nuclear energy? Is there any alternative energy to overcome the crisis of energy?

Jawaban atas soal ini adalah "B. Discussion".

Soal menanyakan jenis teks pada soal.

Perhatikan bahwa judul teksnya adalah "Nuclear Energy: Advantage or Disadvantage" (Tenaga Nuklir: Menguntungkan atau Merugikan).

Paragraf kedua membahas tentang kelebihan tenaga nuklir. Hal ini dibuktikan dari cuplikan kalimat pertamanya yang berbunyi "Those who agree with the operation of nuclear reactors usually argue ..." (Bagi yang setuju dengan penggunaan reaktor nuklir biasanya berargumen ...)

Paragraf ketiga membahas tentang kekurangan tenaga nuklir. Hal ini dibuktikan dari cuplikan kalimat pertamanya yang berbunyi "However, people who disagree with the use of nuclear energy ..." (Namun, orang yang menentang penggunaan tenaga nuklir ...)

Paragraf-paragraf tersebut menandakan bahwa teksnya mengandung pro dan kontra terhadap suatu bahasan, yakni penggunaan tenaga nuklir.

Teks yang mengandung pembahasan pro dan kontra terhadap sesuatu dinamakan dengan Discussion Text.

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat adalah "B. Discussion".
