B. Read the text and answer the questions.
A long time ago, people of Sepang Village, Central Kalimantan lived in poverty. Among the people, there was a widow living with her only daughter named Tumbai. Tumbai was famous for her beauty and kindness. Many young men fell in love with and proposed to her.
Due to the many proposals, Tumbai prayed to God. In her dream, an old man asked her to marry a man who could change the water in the nearby well into salt water. When she woke up, Tumbai told her mother her strange dream.
Tumbai, then, made an announcement that she would marry a man who was able to change the water in the well near her house into salt water. At first people of the village got confused about the announcement. After the widow told them about Tumbai's dream, they understood.
A lot of young men tried their fortune by doing the challenge. However, no one was successful. One day, a young man who lived on the riverside of Barite River came and joined the challenge.
He sat down next to the well. He meditated and prayed to God. After a while, he stood up and asked the villagers to taste the water from the well. It worked! He succeeded in changing the water. Tumbai was happy. She finally found her husband.
After the water became salty, the villagers did not live in poverty anymore. They made salt from the water. They sold it and earned money. The salt water flowed from the well to the Kahayan River. That is why the water in this river is salty until now.
Complete the following sentence.
"The challenge was hard, ____ a young man was successful in doing it."
