Question

There was once a crow who did not like his feathers. "I wish I were a peacock!" he would say. "You are beautiful as you are!" the other crows insisted. "How plain and dull you seem to me!" he complained and flew off to admire peacocks.

The peacocks walked arround with their colourful tail feathers outstretched. To the delight of the crow. some of the peacock feathers lay on the ground when the peacocks left. Crow flew down to the ground and stuck the feathers into his wings and tail. He attached a few sticking up from his head. "Now I am as beautiful as a peacock." He said. But. when he went to join them in their walking. the peacocks punched him and hit him. What a fusal.

"You are not a peacock, "they said, "Don't imitate us!" Bruised and still drugging some broken feathers in his tail, he returned home.

After all his unsults, no one wanted his company! As he sat alone, the other crows said. "It's foolish to try and be what you're not. Learn to love the feathers you've got.

When he went to join *them* in their walking ..." (par. 2 ). 
What does the word in bold refer to?

a. the peacocks 
b. the beutiful peacocks 
c. the other crows 
d. the peacocks and the crows

Soal meminta kamu memilih jawaban yang menjadi rujukan kata "them" pada paragraf 2. Untuk mendapatkan jawabannya, mari simak terjemahan teks paragraf 2 berikut ini, Jongdi.

"The peacocks walked arround with their colourful tail feathers outstretched to the delight of the crow. Some of the peacock feathers lay on the ground when the peacocks left. Crow flew down to the ground and stuck the feathers into his wings and tail. He attached a few sticking up from his head. "Now I am as beautiful as a peacock." He said. But, when he went to join them in their walking, the peacocks punched him and hit him. What a refusal!"

"Burung merak berjalan keliling dengan bulu ekornya yang berwarna-warni terentang yang mencuri perhatian burung gagak. Beberapa bulu burung merak tergeletak di tanah ketika burung merak pergi. Burung gagak mendarat ke tanah dan menempelkan bulu-bulu itu ke sayap dan ekornya. Dia menempelkan beberapa bulu burung mereka mulai dari kepalanya. "Sekarang aku secantik burung merak." Katanya. Tetapi, ketika dia pergi mengikuti perjalanan mereka, burung-burung merak itu meninju dan memukulnya. Sungguh perbuatan yang tidak bisa diterima!"

Setelah kita membaca terjemahan teks, kita menemukan bahwa kata "them" atau "mereka" itu merujuk pada "The peacocks" atau "Burung merak".

Dengan demikian, jawaban yang benar adalah "a. the peacocks." --> burung merak.
