Jawaban soal ini adalah "c. it".

Soal meminta untuk melengkapi bacaan dengan pilihan yang tepat.

Arti bagian yang rumpang dan pilihan jawabannya yakni:

Untuk mencegah raja mengambil obat di tangannya, dia meminum (17) ____ sekaligus.

a. them [kata ganti objek jamak]
b. their [kata ganti kepemilikan jamak]
c. it [kata ganti objek tunggal]
d. its [kata ganti kepemilikan tunggal]

Pada bagian rumpang tersebut memerlukan kata ganti sebagai objek yang menggantikan 'medicine'. Berhubung kata itu berbentuk tunggal, maka kata ganti yang sesuai ialah 'it'.

Kalimatnya menjadi "In order to prevent him from taking the medicine at her hand, she drank it at once." [Untuk mencegah raja mengambil obat di tangannya, dia meminumnya sekaligus.]

Jadi, jawaban yang benar adalah "c. it".
