Question

Waves are beautiful to look at, but they can destroy ships at sea, as well as houses and buildings near the shore. What causes waves? Most waves are causes by winds blowing over the surface of the water. The sun heats the earth, causing the air to rise and the winds to blow. The winds blow across the sea, pushing little waves into bigger and bigger ones

The size of a wave depends on how strong the wind is, how long it blows, and how large the body of water is. In a small bay big wave will never build up. But at sea the wind can build up giant, powerful waves.

A rule says that the height of a wave (in meters) will usually be no more than one-tenth of the wind's speed (in kilometers). In other words, when the wind is blowing at 120 kilometers per hour, most waves will be about twelve meters. Of course, some waves may combine to form giant waves that are much higher. In 1993 the United States Navy reported the largest measured wave history. It rose in the Pacific Ocean to the height of thirty-four meters

Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
The size of a wave depends on....
A. how powerful the wind is
B. how long the wind blows
C. how large the body of the water is
D. how fast the wind blows
E. how long the sun heats the earth

Halo, kakak bantu jawab ya :)

Jawaban: E. how long the sun heats the earth

Pembahasan

Terjemahan soal adalah "Manakah dari berikut ini yang TIDAK BENAR menurut teks? Besar kecilnya gelombang bergantung pada ...."

Terjemahan opsi:
A. seberapa kuat anginnya
B. seberapa lama angin bertiup
C. seberapa besar badan air tersebut
D. seberapa cepat angin bertiup
E.  seberapa lama matahari memanaskan bumi

Kunci jawaban terlihat dari kalimat "The size of a wave depends on how strong the wind is, how long it blows, and how large the body of water is. " yang berarti "Besar kecilnya gelombang tergantung pada seberapa kuat angin, berapa lama berhembus, dan seberapa besar badan air." Sehingga, opsi A, B, dan C benar.

Opsi D benar, hal ini dapat disimpulkan dari kalimat "In other words, when the wind is blowing at 120 kilometers per hour, most waves will be about twelve meters. Of course, some waves may combine to form giant waves that are much higher."

Terjemahan:
"Dengan kata lain, ketika angin bertiup dengan kecepatan 120 kilometer per jam, sebagian besar gelombang akan mencapai sekitar dua belas meter. Tentu saja, beberapa gelombang mungkin bergabung untuk membentuk gelombang raksasa yang jauh lebih tinggi."

Berdasarkan terjemahan, dapat disimpulkan bahwa semakin cepat angin bertiup, maka gelombang yang dibentuk semakin besar. Sehingga, pernyataan yang salah adalah E.  seberapa lama matahari memanaskan bumi.

Jadi, jawaban yang benar adalah E. how long the sun heats the earth.
