Question

Once upon a time, there lived five peas in a pea pot. They were all different, but still living together, as the pea pot was still closed. They were too small to bear with the Sun. So, they used to sleep all day.

At night, they .used to talk to each other and listen to the music around them, especially the music of the Moon. The Moon used to play the harp and sing some beautiful songs for the peas.

The peas were growing day by day. They didn't realize it until they were fully grown. Suddenly, the pea pod cracked open and a harsh light came in. The youngest pea was very happy and excited to see the outside world.

One day, a boy passing by saw them. Then, the boy picked all of them one by one as his slingshot. All of them were scared while the youngest pea was very happy and he was feeling like a butterfly flying through the clouds.

He landed on a windowsill. He saw a little girl lying on the bed. She was unwell and coughing continuously. The youngest pea said to the girl, "If I become something else, would you believe that you'll get cured?" "Okay, I will."

The yougest pea was trying hard to keep his word. The season changed and the small pea got sprouted. He transformed into a plant with some branches and a couple of beautiful flowers. When the girl saw his friend transforming into a plant, she said to her mother, "If a pea can change his life, why not me? Now, I believe I can be cured." The girl smiled at the pea sprout.

A. paragraph 1      C. paragraph 3

Hai, Mawar.

Jawaban atas soal ini adalah "C. paragraph 3".

Soal menanyakan paragraf mana yang merupakan bagian complication.

Complication merupakan salah satu bagian dalam struktur Narrative Text yang diletakan setelah bagian orientation.

Bagian orientation berisi perkenalan seluruh tokoh pada cerita, latar tempat, dan waktu. Sedangkan complication setelahnya berisi tentang dimulainya suatu permasalahan atau alur.

Perhatikan kalimat pertama paragraf pertama dan paragraf kedua yang berbunyi "Once upon a time, there lived five peas in a pea pot. At night, they used to talk to each other and listen to the music around them, especially the music of the Moon."

Terjemahannya adalah "Dahulu kala, hiduplah lima butir kacang polong dalam pot. Di malam hari, mereka biasanya saling berbincang dan mendengarkan musik di sekeliling mereka, khususnya musik dari Bulan."

Berdasarkan kalimat-kalimat tersebut, paragraf pertama dan kedua adalah bagian orientasi. Artinya, bagian setelahnya yang merupakan paragraf ketiga adalah bagian complication.

Terdapat dua kalimat pertama pada paragraf ketiga yang berbunyi "The peas were growing day by day. They didn't realize it until they were fully grown." (Kacangnya bertumbuh hari demi hari. Mereka tidak menyadarinya hingga mereka benar-benar dewasa.)

Kalimat tersebut menandakan dimulainya alur cerita setelah perkenalan tokoh dipaparkan.

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat adalah "C. paragraph 3".
