Mari perhatikan paragraf pertama teks tersebut! " ...lies a hotel that has already set new standards of hospitality for this celebrated city. Set in magnificently landscaped tropical gardens, the Shangri-La Bangkok provides guests with all the charm and warmth of the Orient. At the same time, it also provides unsurpassed range of facilities and leisure activities. " Bagian yang digarisbawahi menunjukkan bahwa hotel tersebut memang dirancang atau ditata sedemikian rupa sehingga menampilkan standar yang baru dan menawarkan berbagai hal yang menarik. Informasi tersebut didukung oleh paragraf kedua yang mendeskripsikan lebih detail mengenai berbagai hal yang ditawarkan hotel tersebut sehingga pengunjung bisa menemukan segala yang mereka butuhkan di sana (seperti fasilitas olahraga, bisnis, pemandangan).Sesuai dengan deskripsi Shangri-La Bangkok yang dijelaskan di dalam teks, maka dapat dikatakan bahwa hotel tersebut memang ditata secara ekslusif (khusus) . Pilihan B tidak tepat karena Shangry-La Bangkok justru merupakan pusat bisnis 24 jam ( 24-hour business center ). Pilihan C tidak tepat karena pada teks disebutkan bahwa kolam renang tersebut menghadap ke sungai , bukan ke daerah pegunungan. Pilihan D tidak tepat karenagedung rapat dan pertemuan tersebut bisa menampung hingga 2000 orang, bukan lebih. Pilihan E tidak tepat karena kalimat terakhir teks menggunakan kata golden, bukan silver . Jadi, pilihan jawaban yang tepat adalah A .
