Question

We don’t live in an age of miracles, but sometimes they happen. This was a special New Year’s Eve Miracle.

Elizabeth Barret lives near a shopping center, and sometimes she and her sister, Barbara, play near the stores. They like playing there. There are lots of people there, and she and Barbara like to look at the things in the windows.
 
But the lives of children are not sweet. They are full of fears. Children attack and chase other children. Why? Who knows? But it’s true. And it’s true in Smithtown too.

Elizabeth is eleven years old and isn’t friends with bad children. She doesn’t fight. Her mother says so. And one New Year’s Eve, Elizabeth and her sister, Barbara, are playing near the stores, but they have to stop. “Elizabeth,” says Barbara. “Let’s go home. Do you see those girls over there? They go to my school. They are bad.”

But it was too late. The bad girl chased Elizabeth and Barbara. They started to run. “Hurry, Elizabeth. Let’s run across the railroad tracks. Hurry up.” The trains on the Long Island Railroad are always late. It is a fact of life on Long Island. But the 1:05 out of Ronkokoma was on time the New Year’s Eve.
 
Vincent Lobianco was at the railroad station, 150 feet away from Elizabeth and Barbara. “Don’t cross the tracks. Go back!” Mr. Lobianco is a religious man. “Please, God, no. Don’t let it happen.” he shouted. But it did. Engine #4321 was on top of Elizabeth in two second. Mr. Lobianco ran towards the girl, and at the same time, shouted to a taxi driver at the station. “Call ambulance. Call an ambulance. There is a little girl on the track.”

Which of the following statement is not true according to the text?
a. Elizabeth and Barbara are sisters.
b. Elizabeth and Barbara are girls.
c. Elizabeth is 11 years old.
d. Elizabeth asked Barbara to go home when she saw the bad girls.
e. Elizabeth and Barbara never fight.

Hai, Binar.

Jawaban untuk soal ini adalah "Elizabeth asked Barbara to go home when she saw the bad girls."

Soal meminta untuk menentukan pernyataan yang tidak sesuai dengan teks.

Terjemahan pilihan jawaban adalah sebagai berikut:
A. Elizabeth dan Barbara merupakan kakak beradik.
B. Elizabeth dan Barbara merupakan perempuan.
C. Elizabeth berumur 11 tahun.
D. Elizabeth meminta Barbara untuk pulang ketika dia melihat perempuan-perempuan nakal.
E. Elizabeth dan Barbara tidak pernah berkelahi.

Perhatikan kalimat pada paragraf keempat yang berbunyi “"Elizabeth,” says Barbara. “Let’s go home. Do you see those girls over there? They go to my school. They are bad.”". yang artinya ""Elizabeth", kata Barbara. "Ayo kita pulang. Kamu lihat perempuan-perempuan di sana? Mereka pindah ke sekolahku. Mereka nakal."".

Berdasarkan kalimat tersebut, yang menyuruh pulang adalah Barbara, bukan Elizabeth. Artinya, opsi D merupakan pernyataan yang tidak sesuai dengan teks.

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat adalah opsi D.
