Question

SEA STARS

Sea stars, commonly called, “starfish” are not fish. Sea stars live underwater, but that is where their resemblance to fish ends. They do not have gills, scales, or fins. Sea stars live only in saltwater. Sea water, instead of blood, is actually used to pump nutrients through their bodies via a ‘water vascular system.’

Also, sea stars move by using tiny tube feet located on the underside of their bodies. With so many little legs, starfish can reach enormous speeds. Adult sunflower sea stars can move at the astonishing speed of one meter per minute using 15,000 tube feet. Tube feet also help sea stars hold their prey.

Sea stars are related to sand dollars, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers, all of which are echinoderms, meaning that they have five-point radial symmetry. However, this does not mean that all sea stars have five arms and species with 10, 20, or even 40 arms exist! If one of these arms is lost, a sea star has the amazingly ability to regenerate it.

What is the purpose of the text?
A. To tell how sea stars live.
B. To describe particular sea stars.
C. To convince that sea stars are not fish.
D. To compare between sea stars and fish.
E. To inform general description of sea stars.

Pada paragraf 1 tertera ''Sea stars, commonly called, “starfish” are not fish. Sea stars live underwater, but that is where their resemblance to fish ends. They do not have gills, scales, or fins.'' (Bintang laut, yang biasa disebut "bintang laut" bukanlah ikan. Bintang laut hidup di bawah air, tetapi di situlah kemiripan mereka dengan ikan berakhir. Mereka tidak memiliki insang, sisik, atau sirip.''

Pada paragraf 2 tertera ''Also, sea stars move by using tiny tube feet located on the underside of their bodies. With so many little legs, starfish can reach enormous speeds.'' (Juga, bintang laut bergerak dengan menggunakan kaki tabung kecil yang terletak di bagian bawah tubuh mereka. Dengan begitu banyak kaki kecil, bintang laut dapat mencapai kecepatan yang luar biasa.)

Dapat dilihat bahwa teksnya membahas deskripsi bintang laut secara umum, maka teks tersebut merupakan Report Text.

Dengan demikian, tujuan dari teks tersebut yaitu ''Untuk menginformasikan gambaran umum bintang laut.'' (To inform general description of sea stars.)

Jadi, jawaban yang benar adalah ''E. To inform general description of sea stars.''
