One of Four Remaining Yangtze Turtles Dies in China One of the world's rarest turtles, a Yangtze giant softshell, has died in China, leaving just threeremaining. Also known as Rafetus swinhoei , the female turtle died in the Suzhou zoo in southern China. Experts had tried to artificially inseminate the creature, which was over 90 years old, for a fifth time shortly before she died. The species is critically endangered due to hunting, overfishing, and the destruction of its habitat. One male is left in the Chinese zoo while two other turtles live in the wild in Vietnam. The elusive nature of the turtle means it has been difficult to identify the latter's gender. Local staff and international experts had attempted to artificially inseminate the female 24 hours before she died. They said, "There were no complications from the operation and she had been in fine health after the procedure, but deteriorated the next day." The cause of her death is being investigated and the turtle's ovarian tissue was collected for future research.

Pembahasan

"Why" memiliki arti " mengapa " dalam bahasa Indonesia. Pertanyaan dengan kata "mengapa" bertujuan untuk mencari penyebab , alasan , atau tujuan dari suatu hal. "Why did it occur?" jika diterjemahkan adalah "mengapa hal itu terjadi?". Kata "itu" pada pertanyaan tersebut merujuk pada peristiwa penting yang terjadi dalam berita yaitu kematian dari kura-kura cangkang lunak. Jadi, jika diperjelas pertanyaannya akan berbunyi "mengapa kematian kura-kura tersebut terjadi?". Dikutip dari bacaan alasan kematian kura-kura tersebut terdapat pada kalimat " local staff and international experts had attempted to artificially inseminate the female 24 hours before she died " dan they said, " there were no complications from the operation and she had been in fine health after the procedure, but deteriorated the next day ". Jika dimaknai kalimat tersebut menjelaskan bahwa staf lokal dan ahli melakukan operasi inseminasi terhadapa kura-kura tersebut. Tidak ada kendala dari awal dan terlihat sehat, tetapi kondisinya mulai menurun di kemudian hari. Jadi dapat kita tarik bahwa alasannya berdasarkan teks mengapa kura-kura tersebut mati adalah opersai yang dilakukan 24 jam sebelumnya. Jadi, jawaban yang benar adalah "because they attempted to artificially inseminate the female 24 hours before. aThey said, "There were no complications from the operation and she had been in fine health after the procedure, but deteriorated the next day."
