Pertanyaan
The question is based on the following text. The first kind of air transportation was not a plane. It was a balloon. People traveled by balloon 100years before there were planes or jet aircrafts. Thoseearly days of ballooning were exciting,but they were also dangerous. However, the danger did not stop the balloonists. The first real balloon flight was in France in 1783. Two Frenchmen, the Montgolfier brothers, made a balloon. They filled a very large paper bag with hot air. Hot air is lighter than cold air, so it goes up. The Montgolfier’s hot air balloon went up 1,000 feet in the sky. Later that same year, two other Frenchmen ascended in the basket under a balloon. They built a fire under the balloon to make the air hot. This made the balloon stay up in the air for a few hours, but their balloon was tied to the ground, so it could not go anywhere. The first free balloon flight was in December 1783. The balloon flew for 25 minutes over Paris. It traveled about 5 ½ miles.Soon, balloonists tried longer flights. A major event in the history of ballooning was the first long flight over water. In 1785, an American and a Frenchman flew over the English Channel. They left England on a cold, clear January day. After about an hour, their balloon began to descend toward the water. They threw out some equipment and food to make the balloon lighter. The balloon continued to fall, so they threw out almosteverything inthebasket — even some of their clothes. Finally, after about three hours, they landed in France, cold but safe. During the nineteenth century, ballooning became a popular sport. There were balloon races in Europe. Balloons were also used by scientists to study the air and by armies in wartime. After the airplane was invented, people lost interest in balloons. Planes were much faster and easier to control. But some people today still like to go up in balloons. High up in the balloon basket, they find quiet. They have a wonderful view of the world below. What happened when the first balloon flight over the water was done in 1785?

Pembahasan
Soal ini menanyakan peristiwayang terjadi pada tahun 1785 ketika penerbangan balon pertama di atas air dilakukan. Informasi ini dapat ditemukan pada paragraf keempat. Pada tahun 1785, satu orang asalPrancis dan satu orang asal Amerika berangkat dari Inggris. Setelah satu jam penerbangan, balon mereka mulai turun/jatuh ke arah air. Mereka membuang beberapa peralatan dan makanan untuk membuat balon mereka lebih ringan. Namun, balon mereka tetap saja jatuhsehingga mereka membuang hampir semua di dalam keranjang mereka, termasuk beberapa pakaian. Akhirnya, setelah sekitar tiga jam, mereka mendarat di Prancis, kedinginan tapi selamat. Berdasarkan paragraf tersebut, dapat dikatakan bahwa mereka (pilot penerbangan balon udara di tahun 1785)hampir mengalami kecelakaan. Hal ini sesuai dengan pernyataan 'They almost had an accident during the flight.' pada pilihan jawaban. Pilihan A tidak tepat . Pada teks dikatakan bahwa cuaca saat itu dingin, tetapi tidak disebutkan apakah para pilot balon menderita masuk angin.Kata cold pada teks maksudnya adalah cuaca dingin. Kata cold pada pilihan A maksudnya adalah masuk angin. Pilihan B tidak tepat . Peralatan tersebut tidak hilang namun sengaja dibuang dengan tujuan agar balon tersebut ringan dan dapat tetap terbang. Informasinya ada pada kalimat ke-7 sampai ke-9. Pilihan D tidak tepat . Disebutkan bahwa pilot membuang barang-barangnya, bahkan beberapa baju mereka . Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa pilot masih memiliki beberapa bajutersisa. Pilihan E tidak tepat . Balon udaranya memang nyaris tercebur, tetapi berhasil diterbangkan kembali. Informasinya ada pada kalimat ke-7 sampai ke-9. Jadi, pilihan jawaban yang tepat adalah C.
