Question

Once, there lived a pious Priest in a small village. He was very innocent and simple minded person, used to perform religious rituals. On one occasion, he was rewarded with the goat for his services by a wealthy man. He happily slung the goat over his shoulder and began the journey towards his home.

On the way, three cheats saw the Priest taking the goat. All of them were lazy and wanted to cheat the Priest so that they could take away the goat. After deciding a plan, they got separated from one another and took different hiding positions at three different places on the way of the Priest.

As soon as, the Priest arrived at a lonely place, one of the cheats came out of his hiding place and asked Priest in a shocking manner, "Sir, what are you doing? I don't understand why a pious man like you needs to carry a dog on his shoulders?" The Priest was surprised to hear such words. The Priest was annoyed at the discrepancy but started his journey once again.

The Priest had barely walked a distance, when another cheat came out of his hiding place and asked the Priest, "Sir, why do you carry a dead calf on your shoulders? You seem to be a wise person. Such an act is pure stupidity on your part" The Priest got confused but continued to walk further

Again the Priest had covered a little distance when the third cheat met him. The third cheat asked laughingly, "Sir, why do you carry a donkey on your shoulders? Hearing the words of the third cheat, the Priest became really worried. He thought that the animal he was carrying on his shoulders might really be some sort of ghost, because it transformed itself from the goat into a dog, from a dog into a dead calf and from dead calf into a donkey. The Priest got frightened to such an extent that he hurled the goat on the roadside and ran away: The three tricksters laughed at the gullible Priest. They caught the goat and were happy to feast on it.

The story above indicates that the priest is a....man
A.  Stupid 
B. Smart
C. Diligent 
D. Lazy

Hi Huda, kakak bantu jawab ya :)

Jawabannya adalah "A. Stupid".

Soal menanyakan "Kisah di atas menunjukkan bahwa pendeta itu adalah seorang pria _____". Pada soal ini kita diminta untuk menentukan karakter dari pendeta dalam cerita.

Cerita pada bacaan di atas menceritakan seorang pendeta yang berhasil ditipu oleh tiga orang penipu. Pendeta ini dideskripsikan sebagai orang yang polos dan berpikiran sederhana. Hal ini bisa ditemukan di kalimat paragraf 1 "He was very innocent and simple minded person..." (Dia adalah orang yang sangat polos dan berpikiran sederhana).

Setelah pendeta itu berhasil ditipu, kalimat pada paragraf terakhir yaitu "The three tricksters laughed at the gullible Priest" (Ketiga penipu itu menertawakan Priest yang mudah tertipu) mendeksripsikan bahwa pendeta ini "gullible" (gampang ditipu).

Berikut arti dari pilihan jawabannya:
A. Stupid = bodoh
B. Smart = pintar
C. Diligent = rajin
D. Lazy = malas

Karakter pendeta yang gampang ditipu, polos, dan sederhana ini bisa disimpulkan sebagai "stupid".

Jadi, jawabannya adalah A.

Semoga membantu ya :)
