Pembahasan

Meaningful paragraph maksudnya adalah paragraf yang koheren. Paragraf yang koheren adalah paragraf yang dapat dimengerti dengan baik oleh pembaca karena adanya hubungan ketersambungan ide antara satu kalimat dengan kalimat lain untuk membentuk satu kesatuan makna. Untuk membuat paragraf yang bermakna, maka carilah hubungan antara kalimat. Ungkapan last but not least artinya terakhir. Ia digunakan untuk mengakhiri suatu urutan rangkaian kejadian. Sehingga no 5 pastilah terletak di bagian akhir. Pilihan jawaban B, C dan D otomatis salah. Berdasarkan pilihan jawaban, awal kalimat dimulai dengan kalimat no 3 yang merupakan deskripsi secara umum (general statement) bahwa kertas adalah bahan yang paling mudah didaur ulang. Jika pada teks ada akhir sebuah proses (no 5) maka pasti ada awal. “The process of recycling paper start when...” artinya” proses daur ulang kertas dimulai ketika …”. Kata seperti first dan start menandakan awal. Maka urutannya adalah 3 - 1. E salah. Jawaban yang tepat adalah A.
