LISTENING (Exercise 1-6)

1. C
The speaker 2 said “Let’s have some of it”. The second speaker suggests that he wants to have/eat
the apple pie because “it” refers to apple pie.
2. B
The speaker 2 said “you have about thirty minutes”. “Thirty minutes” means “half hour”. Therefore,
the answer is “B”.
3. A
The speaker 2 said “So do I”. It means she agrees with the first speaker, so the answer is “A”.
4. D
The first speaker talked about “plant new rose”, then the second speaker said “cut the bushes
around the yard”. If he cut the bushes and plant rose, more likely he is a gardener “D”.
5. A
The speaker one talked about passing the exam, and then speaker 2 said “not exactly”. It means
Karla did not pass. Did not pass = failed, so the answer is “A”.
6. A
The second speaker said “A sandwich and fries to go, please”. She ordered food, so most likely she is
in a fast-food restaurant “A”.
7. B
The second speaker said “Let’s go down for a swim”. It means he invites the first speaker to swim in
the lake, so the answer is “B”.
8. D
The second speaker said “I’m sure he expressed his true feelings”. It means Peter did not lie and said
what he really felt, so the answer is “D”.
9. A
The second speaker said “I’ll say”. It means he agrees/wants some drink too. Therefore, the answer
is “A”.
10. B
The second speaker said “It hasn’t been watered in weeks”. Because the plants have not been
watered in weeks, it must become dry. So the answer is “B”.
STRUCTURE (Skills 14-15)

1. Ballpoint pens are less versatile but more population than fountain pens.


Jawaban: population>popular
Penjelasan: Ada connector “but” dalam kalimat itu, berarti struktur kata sebelum dan
sesudahnya harus paralel. Sebelum “but” ada adjective “less versatile”, maka kata setelahnya
juga harus berupa adjective. “Population” adalah noun, bentuk adjectivenya “popular”.

2. Riddles vary greatly in both grammatical and phonology form.


Jawaban: phonology>phonological
Penjelasan: Ada connector “and”, maka kata sebelum dan setelah connector itu harus paralel.
Sebelum “and” ada kata “grammatical” sebagai adjective, sementara setelah “and” ada kata
“phonology” yang berupa noun. Dengan begitu kita perlu mengganti “phonology” menjadi
“phonological” agar strukturnya paralel.

3. Blood pressure is measured by feeling the pulse and apply a force to the arm.


Jawaban: apply>applying
Penjelasan: ketika ada connector, maka struktur dalam kalimat harus sama/paralel. Connector
“and” digunakan untuk menghubungkan “feeling the pulse” dan “apply a force”. Keduanya
tidak paralel, maka yang perlu diganti adalah “apply” menjadi “applying”.

4. The Moon has no atmosphere, no air and no watery.


Jawaban: water>watery
Penjelasan: dalam kalimat ini terlihat jelas strukturnya paralel, “no atmosphere”, “no air”, dan
“no watery”. Tapi, manakah di antaranya yang kurang tepat? “atmosphere” dalam bentuk
noun, “air” juga noun, sedangkan “watery” adalah adjective. Dengan begitu, kita perlu
mengganti “watery” menjadi “water”.

5. The first matches were too hard to ignite, a mess, or too dangerously easy to ignite.


Jawaban: a mess>too messy
Penjelasan: kata “matches” sudah tepat berpasangan dengan “were”, maka itu bukan kata
yang salah. Kita tinggal melihat apakah connector “or” telah menghubungan struktur yang
paralel atau belum. Connector “or” menghubungkan frasa “too hard to ignite”, “a mess”, dan
“too dangerously easy to ignite”. Jelas sekali “a mess” tidak paralel, maka seharusnya ditulis
“too messy”.

6. A 1971 U.S government policy not only put warnings on cigarette packs but


also banning television advertising of cigarettes.
Jawaban: banning>banned
Penjelasan: ingat! Ada paired conjunction “not only … but also“, maka noun/verb/phrase
yang dihubungkan harus paralel/sama. Dalam kalimat ini, “not only … but also”
menghubungkan “put warnings on cigarette” dan “banning television…”. Maka, kata yang
perlu diganti adalah “banning” menjadi “banned” karena mengikuti “put” (bentuk kedua
karena waktu lampau, 1971).
7. Demand, beauty, durability, rare and perfection of cutting determine the value of gemstone.
Jawaban: rare>rarity
Penjelasan: Connector “and” digunakan untuk menghubungkan noun “demand”, “beauty”,
“durability” dan “perfection”, tetapi ada kata “rare” yang merupakan adjective di antara noun
itu. Oleh karena itu, “rare” sebaiknya diubah menjadi “rarity”.

8. The Harvard Yard, which was Harvad’s original campus, is still a major attraction for both


students and visiting.
Jawaban: visiting>visitors
Penjelasan: ada paired conjuction “both … and”, maka kata yang seharusnya paralel adalah
“students” dan “visiting”. “Students” sudah betul (karena tidak digaris bawahi), maka
“visiting” adalah kata yang tidak tepat dan harus diganti menjadi “visitors” agar keduanya
paralel sebagai noun.

9. In 1862, the American Confederacy raised the Merrimack, renamed it Virginia covered it with


iron plates and an outfit it with ten guns.
Jawaban: an outfit>outfitted
Penjelasan: Connector “and digunakan untuk menghubungkan verb “raised”, “renamed”,
“covered”, dan “an outfit”. Dalam kalimat ini, verb “raised” dan “an outfit” yang dicurigai
memiliki kesalahan, tapi ketika kita lihat verb lainnya, hanya “an outfit” yang tidak sesuai
karena berupa noun. Maka kita perlu ubah menjadi “outfitted” agar menjadi verb yang
seragam.

10. The liquid crystals in a display (LCD) affect the polarized light so that it is either


blocked and reflected by the segments of the display.
Jawaban: and>or
Penjelasan: Ketika kita melihat conjuction “either”, maka itu adalah paired conjuction yang
berpasangan dengan “or” (either … or), maka “and” dalam kalimat itu harus diganti menjadi
“or”
