Questions number 87-90 based on the following passage. Earthquake is any sudden shaking of the ground caused by the passage of seismic waves through Earth’s rocks. Seismic waves are produced when some form of energy stored in Earth’s crust is suddenly released, usually when masses of rock straining against one another suddenly fracture and “slip.” Earthquakes occur most often along geologic faults, narrow zones where rock masses move in relation to one another. The major fault lines of the world are located at the fringes of the huge tectonic plates that make up Earth’s crust. Little was understood about earthquakes until the emergence of seismology at the beginning of the 20th century.Seismology, which involves the scientific study of all aspects of earthquakes, has yielded answers to such long-standing questions as why and how earthquakes occur. About 50,000 earthquakes large enough to be noticed without the aid of instruments occur annually over the entire Earth. Of these, approximately 100 are of sufficient size to produce substantial damage if their centers are near areas of habitation. Very great earthquakes occur on average about once per year. Over the centuries they have been responsible for millions of deaths and an incalculable amount of damage to property. Encyclopedia Britannica, Inc. What is the author’s attitude towards the topic of the passage?

Pembahasan

Pada paragraf di atas penulis menjabarkan tentang peristiwa ” earthquake ”. Sikap penulis terhadap topik yang ia tuliskan adalah prihatin, hal itu terlihat pada kalimat “ Little was understood about earthquakes until the emergence of seismology at the beginning of the 20th century ”. Karena kurangnya pengetahuan tentang peristiwa gempa bumi, sehingga menyebabkan banyak kematian dan kerusakan, seperti pada kalimat “ Very great earthquakes occur on average about once per year. Over the centuries they have been responsible for millions of deaths and an incalculable amount of damage to property ”. Jadi,jawaban yang paling tepat adalah C. concerned.
