Pertanyaan

The question is based on the text. I’ll never forget May 3, 1990, the dateTien-Tien came into our lives. Ahong, the wife of my youngest brother Ajing, gave birth after a very difficult labor of five hours. We already had a name for the baby before she was born. She would be called Tien-Tien which meant ‘sweetness’. As we waited at the hospital, our joy quickly turned to grief when the attending physician announced that he could detect no signs of life in Tien-Tien. There was no breathing, no heartbeat, so he finally declared the baby dead. Ajing decided to lay the body next to the Taizi River. To outsiders, this might be strange: to us, a Chinese family with almost no money or resources, the prospect of encouraging the baby’s spirit to slip away to a better world in a beautiful setting made a great deal of sense. We planned to return later to bury Tien-Tien’s remains and pay honor to her. Ajing wrapped his child in a red floral quilt and set off for the river. He gently laid his baby in a patch of grass along the bank of the river. A week later, while I was walking home from work, I overheard a distant chattering. A womansaid her friend heard a baby crying, and the sound came from a patch of grass along the river bank. The others addedfurther explained that the baby had just been placed in a local orphanage. Something inside me said it must have been Tien-Tien. Without waiting any longer, I ran to the orphanage. In the room, I saw Tien-Tien in a crib covered in dirt, but very much alive. According to paragraph 2, why did the writer and family suddenly feel sorrow?

Pembahasan

Soal menanyakan alasan penulisdan keluarga tiba-tiba merasasedih. Keluarga di sini maksudnya adalah Ahong dan Ajing yang disebutkan pada paragraf pertama. Kalimat our joy quickly turned to grief when the attending physician announced that he could detect no signs of life in Tien-Tien yang artinya 'kegembiraan kami dengan cepat berubah menjadi kesedihan ketika dokter yang merawat mengumumkan bahwa dia tidak dapat mendeteksi tanda-tanda kehidupan di Tien-Tien ' menunjukkan bahwa mereka tiba-tiba bersedih karena Tien-Tien lahir dalam keadaan telah meninggal ( stillborn ). Pilihan A (Bayinya tidak dapat dikenali) tidak tepat karena informasi yang seharunya adalah tanda-tanda kehidupan pada bayi tidakapat dideteksi. Pilihan B (Bayinya dinyatakan hidup) tidak tepat karena bayinya justru tidak menunjukkan tanda-tanda kehidupan. Pilihan C (Bayinya kejam) tidak tepat karena sama sakali tidak berkaitan dengan informasi pada teks. Pilihan E (Bayinya tidak dapat dilahirkan) tidak tepat. Bayinya dapat dilahirkan, tetapi tidak menunjukkan tanda-tanda kehidupan setelah dilahirkan. Jadi, pilihan jawaban yang tepat adalah D.
