Pertanyaan

A potato farmer was sent to to prison just at time when he should have been digging the ground for planting the new crop of potatoes. He realized that his wife would not be strong enough to do the digging by herself, but that she could manage to do the planting, and he also knew that he did not have any friends or neighbors who would be willing to do the digging for him. So he wrote a letter to his wife which said “Please do not dig the potato field. I hide the money and the gun there.” Ten days later, he got a letter from his wife. It said, “I think somebody is reading your letter before they go out of prison. Some policeman arrived here two days ago and dug up the whole field. What shall I do now?” The prisoner wrote back at once. “Plant the potatoes, of course!”. Why do you think the passage above belongs to spoof text?

Pembahasan

Semua pernyataan A-E benar ada di teks. Tapi yang ditanyakan adalah “Mengapa teks tersebut digolongkan teks spoof. Pilihan A salah karena teks yang menghibur bukan hanya spoof saja. Misalnya saja narative. Teks ini dikatakan menghibur juga, sesuai dengan tujuannya yaitu to entertain the readers. Pilihan B juga salah, karena simple past juga bisa digunakan untuk teks lain seperti narrative atau recount. Pilihan C juga salah, karena jumlah karakter dalam sebuah cerita tidak berpengaruh pada jenis sebuah teks. Pilihan E juga salah, karena ini hanya unsur kebahasaan saja, tidak menentukan jenis apa teks itu. Jadi, jawaban yang benar adalah D. Karena satu-satunya teks yang memiliki akhir yang lucu dan tak terduga adalah spoof . Bagian ini disebut twist .
