Two Brothers

Long ago, there were two brothers called Akomi and Ombah. They were ambitious and winning. Akomi, the elder brother, said, "If we become the King's employees, we can make laws to collect more money from the people. We will become very rich."

They went to see King Aruya. Akomi said, "Your Majesty, let us be your ministers. We will make good laws. All your subjects will be happy. I am wise and clever. I know everything."

King Aruya said angrily, "That is not true! No body knows everything. For example, do you know how many stars there are in the sky? Guards! Throw this liar into the river of crocodiles!"

Ombah's hands trembled. Then he thought to himself, "King Aruya will also punish me if I say the wrong thing. My brother said he knew everything and his answer was wrong. So if I say the opposite, my answer will be right." Ombah then said, to King Aruya, "Your majesty, I know nothing."

King Aruya said, "That is also a lie. Nobody knows nothing, truly! Everybody knows at least something. For example, you know your father's name, don't you? Guards! Throw him into the river of crocodiles, too!"

From the story, we can see that King Aruya ...

a. kept many crocodiles
b. could make good laws
c. did not need any ministers
d. disliked people who told lies

T. Azzahra · Accepted Answer

Jawaban untuk soal di atas adalah d. disliked people who told lies.

Soal ini menanyakan hal yang bisa diketahui tentang Raja Aruya berdasarkan teks.

Pada paragraf ketiga Raja berkata dengan marah "That is not true! No body knows everything" yang artinya "Itu tidak benar! Tidak ada yang tahu segalanya."

Kemudian di paragraf kelima Raja Aruya juga mengatakan "That is also a lie. Nobody knows nothing, truly!" yang artinya "Itu juga bohong. Tidak ada yang tahu apa-apa, sungguh!"

Berdasarkan respon yang diberikan oleh Raja Aruya kepada ucapan kedua saudara tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa Raja tidak menyukai seseorang yang berbohong. Itulah sebabnya dia berkata dengan marah dan menyebut mereka bohong.

Dengan demikian, hal yang bisa dilihat tentang Raja Aruya berdasarkan teks adalah disliked people who told lies (tidak menyukai orang yang berbohong).

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat adalah d. disliked people who told lies.
