Hi, Arka.

Kakak bantu jawab ya.

Jawaban yang benar adalah a. the lion and the boar.

Soal menanyakan rujukan kata "us" (kita) pada kalimat "... it may better for us to make friends then ..." (... mungkin lebih baik kita berteman saja ...).

Kalimat tersebut tertera pada paragraf terakhir yang mana dalam kalimat terdapat sedikit kesalahan. Kalimat tersebut seharusnya "After knowing it, they stopped their battle and said, it may better for us to make friends with them to be the food for vultures" (Setelah mengetahuinya, mereka menghentikan pertempuran mereka dan berkata, mungkin lebih baik kita berteman dengan mereka untuk menjadi makanan bagi burung nasar).

Kemudian, di awal kalimat penulis menuliskan "Once upon a time, on a summer day, a lion and a boar came at the same moment to a small well" yang artinya "Dahulu kala, pada hari musim panas, seekor singa dan babi hutan datang pada saat yang sama ke sebuah sumur kecil".

Berdasarkan kalimat tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa kata "us" (kita) merujuk pada singa (the lion) dan babi hutan (boar).

Jadi, jawaban yang benar adalah A.

Hope it helps. Happy learning! :)
