The text is for the following question. Forget lions, tigers, and bears. When it comes to the art of war, army ants are among the most frightening creatures on earth. With powerful mouth parts, these fighters can skillfully cut creatures much larger than themselves into pieces. Acting together in great number, army ant colonies succeed at making tens of thousands of such kills each day. Their capabilities do have limits, though. Contrary to popular belief, they almost never take down large animals or people. One of the best places to observe army ants is Barro Colorado, an island in a lake created by Panama Canal. The island is home to as many as 50 colonies of Eciton burchelli, the most studied army ant in the world. It is one of 150 types of army ants in the New World, more 170 other types live in Asia, Africa, and Australia. The colonies of this army ant are huge, ranging from 300.000 to 700.000 ants. They never stay in one place long, moving from nest site. Linking legs together, they use their own bodies to form enormous nests called bivouacs, which they hang beneath a fallen tree. There they stay about 20 days as the queen lays as many as 300.000 eggs. When the ants go hunting as many as 200.000 of them leave the nest in a group that broadens into a fan as wide as 14 meters. This swarm raid takes a slightly different course each day, allowing the hunter to cover fresh ground each time. Protecting the ants wherever they go are soldiers, recognizable by their oversized jaws. If their frightening looks do not scare enemies away, soldiers also have a powerful bite and the attack is often suicidal. Because their jaws are shaped like fishhooks, the soldiers cannot pull them out again. Amazonian tribes have used soldier ants to close wounds, breaking off the bodies and leaving the head in place. Eciton burchelli are blind and cannot see what is ahead of them, but they move together in such great numbers that they can easily kill the non-army ants insect and other small creatures that constitute their prey. When the groups happen upon a break in the path, ants immediately link legs together and form living bridges so that the groups can move forwards without any delay. In Japanese the word ant is written by linking two character: one meaning "insect", the other meaning "loyalty". Indeed, individual ants are completely loyal to their fellow ans. They display many examples of selfless cooperation that, while certainty extreme, cannot fail to win human admiration.

Pembahasan

Soal menanyakan alasan penulis meminta pembaca mengabaikan sing, harimau, dan beruang. Penulis menyuruh pembaca untuk mengabaikan ketiga hewan tersebutpada kalimat pertama paragraf pertama. Pada tiga kalimat selanjutnya, penulis menjelaskan "Ketika berbicara tentang seni berperang, semut tentara termasuk makhluk paling menakutkan di bumi. Dengan bagian-bagian mulut yang kuat, pejuang ini (semut tentara) memotong-motongmakhluk lain yang jauh lebih besar dari mereka. Bergerak bersama dalam jumlah yang sangat besar, semut tentara mampumembunuh ribuan makhluk setiap harinya. Berdasarkanketiga kalimat tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa tujuan penulis menyuruh pembaca mengabaikan singa, harimau, dan beruang adalah karena semut tentara, dalam hal tertentu (seni berperang), ternyata jauh lebih menakutkan ( army ants, in their own way, can be more fearsome than those animas ). Mereka mampu membunuh ribuan makluk setiap harinya, termasuk makhluk yang lebih besar dari mereka. Pilihan A tidak tepat karena bukan merupakan alasan penulis menyebutkan ketiga hewan tersebut. Teks tidak membahas hewan itu, tetapi penulis memiliki tujuan tertentu menyebutkan ketiga hewan tersebut sebelum membahasn semut tentara. Pilihan B tidak tepat karena topik yang dibahas pada teks adalah kemampuan keunikan semut tentara yang membuat hewan ini justru lebih menakutkan dibandingkan ketiga hewan yang disebutkan di awal. Pilihan D tidak tepat karena tidak dibahas jumlah semut ataupun ketiga hewan tersebut di dalam teks. Pilihan E tidak tepat karena ketiga hewan tersebut justru lebih kuat, tetapi keunikan semut tentara membuatnya lebih menakutkan dibandingkan ketiga hewan itu. Oleh karena itu, jawaban yang benar adalah C.

Soal menanyakan alasan penulis meminta pembaca mengabaikan sing, harimau, dan beruang.

Penulis menyuruh pembaca untuk mengabaikan ketiga hewan tersebut pada kalimat pertama paragraf pertama. Pada tiga kalimat selanjutnya, penulis menjelaskan "Ketika berbicara tentang seni berperang, semut tentara termasuk makhluk paling menakutkan di bumi. Dengan bagian-bagian mulut yang kuat, pejuang ini (semut tentara) memotong-motong makhluk lain yang jauh lebih besar dari mereka. Bergerak bersama dalam jumlah yang sangat besar, semut tentara mampu membunuh ribuan makhluk setiap harinya.

Berdasarkan ketiga kalimat tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa tujuan penulis menyuruh pembaca mengabaikan singa, harimau, dan beruang adalah karena semut tentara, dalam hal tertentu (seni berperang), ternyata jauh lebih menakutkan (army ants, in their own way, can be more fearsome than those animas). Mereka mampu membunuh ribuan makluk setiap harinya, termasuk makhluk yang lebih besar dari mereka.

Pilihan A tidak tepat karena bukan merupakan alasan penulis menyebutkan ketiga hewan tersebut. Teks tidak membahas hewan itu, tetapi penulis memiliki tujuan tertentu menyebutkan ketiga hewan tersebut sebelum membahasn semut tentara.

Pilihan B tidak tepat karena topik yang dibahas pada teks adalah kemampuan keunikan semut tentara yang membuat hewan ini justru lebih menakutkan dibandingkan ketiga hewan yang disebutkan di awal.

Pilihan D tidak tepat karena tidak dibahas jumlah semut ataupun ketiga hewan tersebut di dalam teks.

Pilihan E tidak tepat karena ketiga hewan tersebut justru lebih kuat, tetapi keunikan semut tentara membuatnya lebih menakutkan dibandingkan ketiga hewan itu.

Oleh karena itu, jawaban yang benar adalah C. undefined
