Read the text and answer the question! Genetic research has produced both exciting and frightening possibilities. Scientists are now able to create new forms of life in the laboratory due to the development of gene splicing. On the one hand, the ability to create life in the laboratory could generally benefit mankind. For example, because it is very expensive to obtain insulin from natural sources, scientists have developed a method to manufacture it inexpensively in the laboratory. Another beneficial application of gene splicing is in agriculture. Scientists foresee the day when new plants will be developed using nitrogen from the air instead of from fertilizer. Therefore, food production could be increased. In addition, entirely new plants could be developed to feed the world’s hungry people. However, not everyone is excited about gene splicing. Some people feel that it could have terrible consequences. A laboratory accident, for example, might cause an epidemic of an unknown disease that could wipe out humanity. As a result of this controversy, the government has made rules to control genetic experiments. While some members of the scientific community feel that these rules are too strict, many other people feel that they are still not strict enough. Based on the text,one of the advantages people can gainfrom gene splicing is ....

Based on the text, one of the advantages people can gain from gene splicing is .... 
the lower cost of insulin production
the increased use of fertilizer
the ability to foresee the future
the improved world’s laboratory’s quality
the decreased rate of accidents happened in laboratory

Jawaban
pilihan jawaban yang tepat adalah A.
Pembahasan
Salah satu keuntungan yang manusia dapatkan dari gene splicing adalah (A) biaya produksi insulin yang lebih murah. Hal tersebut sesuai dengan isi paragraf kedua pada kalimat“… becauseit is very expensive t o obtain insulin from natural sources, scientists have developed a method to manufacture it inexpensively in the laboratory .” yang artinya “... karena sangat mahal untuk mendapatkan insulin dari sumber daya alam, ilmuwan dapat mengembangan metode untuk memproduksinya dengan harga yang murah di laboratorium". Pilihan B tidak tepat karena bertentangan dengan isi paragraf 2 bahwa gene splicing justru mengurangi penggunaan pupuk. Pilihan C tidak tepat karena tidak terdapat pada teks mengenai hubungan antara gene splicing dengan meramalkan masa depan. Pilihan D tidak tepat karena teks ini tidak membahas mengenai kualitas laboratorium. Pilihan E tidak tepat karena bertentangan dengan isi paragraf 3 bahwa gene splicing justru berpotensi meningkatkan angka kecelakaan di laboratorium. Jadi, pilihan jawaban yang tepat adalah A.
