Question

Nyai Bagendit was a widow. She was the richest person in the village. She had a ve, big house filled with a lot of jewellery *(1) She also had many servants working for her. Nyai Bagendit was also known for her bad attitude. She thd not like to help others. Whenever the villagers needed some money, they borrowed the money from her. *(2) However, when they returned it, the villagers had to pay double.* If they were not able to return the debt, Nyi Bagedit would ask her servants to take the villagers' belongings. Nyai Bagendit also hated beggars. She thought that beggars were lazy people. She never felt sorry for any beggars coming to her house. 

So when the old beggar came to her house, Nyai Bagendit immediately asked her to go. 

"Go away you lazy old woman! Get out of my house!" 

"Please, Nyai, give me some money or just give me some food. I'm so hung," said the beggar. 

"Food? You asked for food? This is my house, not a restaurant. Go now! I don't want to see you here!” *(3) Nyai Bagendit then threw a stone to the old beggar.*

The old beggar was very sad. She then said, "Nyai Bagedit, I know you are the richest person in this village. You have everything but you never help other people. You are not grateful to God. Wait for the punishment from God. You will be punished!" 

*(4) The old beggar then left Nyai Bagedit's house.* 

"Ha ha ha! You are right. *(5) I'm the richest person here.* So no one can punish me, not even God can punish mel" Nyai Bagendit was very arrogant. 

Nyai Bagendit then went back to her big house. Not long after that, an earthquake happened. Her house fell down. Nyai Bagendit cried for help. 

"Help me! Somebody please help me!" But nobody listened to her crying for help. 

Nobody in the village felt the earthquake. Amazingly, the earthquake only happened th Nyai Bagendit's house. The land was opened. The crack was so big that it devoured the entire Nyai Bagendit's house. All her wealth vanished in a minute. The villagers just watched what happened to Nyai Bagendit and her house. They were shocked. Slowly, the place where Nyai Bagendit’s house stood became a lake. Then, people name the lake Situ Bagendit. It means Lake of Bagendit.

Halo Simon, kakak bantu jawab ya :)

Jawabannya adalah "Sentence number 5 "I'm the richest person here.""

Soal menanyakan kalimat nomor 1 sampai 5 yang tidak menggunakan Simple Past Tense.

Simple Past Tense adalah tense yang digunakan untuk menyatakan peristiwa yang terjadi di masa lampau. Ciri dari Simple Past Tense adalah digunakannya V2 dan to be was/were. Pola kalimat Simple Past Tense adalah:
S + V2 + O/C
S + was/were + O/C

Kalimat nomor (1) "She also had many servants working for her." merupakan Simple Past Tense karena menggunakan 'had' yang merupakan V2 dari 'have'.

Kalimat nomor (2) "However, when they returned it, the villagers had to pay double." merupakan Simple Past Tense karena menggunakan 'returned' yang merupakan V2 dari 'return' dan 'had' yang merupakan V2 dari 'have'.

Kalimat nomor (3) "Nyai Bagendit then threw a stone to the old beggar." merupakan Simple Past Tense karena menggunakan 'threw' yang merupakan V2 dari 'throw'.

Kalimat nomor (4) "The old beggar then left Nyai Bagedit's house." merupakan Simple Past Tense karena menggunakan 'left' yang merupakan V2 dari 'leave'.

Kalimat nomor (5) "I'm the richest person here." bukan Simple Past Tense karena menggunakan to be 'am' pada kata 'I'm', kalimat tersebut dalam bentuk Simple Present Tense.

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat adalah "Sentence number 5 "I'm the richest person here.""
