Pertanyaan
The question is based on the following text. A street sweeper was doing his job when he came across some money lying on the ground. He decided to use it to buy a present for his little daughter. He bought a jar of honey, rushed home and left it on the table, so that his daughter would find it as soon as she came from school. But, alas, it was the flies that ate the honey. The sweeper was so angry that he went to ask the judge to give orders for the flies to be arrested and condemned to death. “You are absolutely right,” smiled the judge, “but as you well understand, we cannot mobilize the army against these rascals. We shall see justice done in another way. Everytime you see a fly, strike it down. I authorize you to execute them by yourself. Furthermore, I demand personally that you do not allow even a single one of these thieving flies to escape.” “Yes, your honor. You can count on me,” the sweeper assured him. At that very moment, a fly decided to settle on the judge’s head and the sweeper did not hesitate; he raised his brush and brought it crashing down on the judge’s head. The guards were about to arrest him, when the judge recovered and intervened. “Leave him be,” he ordered. “he has taught me not to say foolish to simpletons.” What can we conclude from the story?

Teks tersebut menceritakan kisah seorang tukang sapu jalanan yang menemukan uang di jalanan. Lalu, diamenggunakan uang tersebut untuk membeli hadiah untuk anaknya, yaitu sebotol madu. Dia lalu meletakkannya di atas meja supaya anaknya bisa langsung makan madu tersebut sepulang sekolah. Namun, madu tersebut justru dikerubuti dan dimakan habis oleh lalat. Lalu, dia pergi ke pengadilan dan meminta hakim menghukum mati lalat-lalat tersebut. Namun, hakim mengatakan bahwa ia tidak mungkin menyuruh petugas keamanan menangkap lalat-lalat itu. Sebagai gantinya, penyapu itu boleh membunuh lalat kapanpun dia melihatnya. Dan pada saat itu juga, seekor lalat hinggap di kepala hakim, dan tukang sapu itu pun memukul lalat di kepala hakim itu. Dia dianggap memukul hakim sehingga petugas berniat menangkapnya. Namun, si hakim yang sudah sadar mengatakan untuk membiarkannya pergi. Dia pun belajar bahwa dia tidak boleh mengatakan hal-hal bodoh/kurang bijak kepada orang yang kurang bijak. Jadi, kesimpulan yang tepat adalah " The judge should have been careful with his words ." yang artinya 'Si hakim seharusnya berhati-hati dengan ucapannya.'. Dengan demikian, pilihan jawaban yang tepat adalah D.
