The text is for number 9 to 13.
Education is often viewed as school in a traditional, formal sense. Many people believe that
true learning can only take place in a formal classroom setting. Others feel education occurs in many different forms and environments. There may not be a definitive answer to the question of, 'What is education?' However, we can start thinking about the purpose of education. Is it to educate youth
to be responsible citizens? Is it to develop individuals, as well as society, in order to ensure a society's economic success? Or is it to simply focus on developing individual talents and intelligence? Perhaps
it is the balance of all three that defines education? While our answers may differ, we can perhaps
agree that education is a basic human right. When that right is granted growth and development, the society as a whole is more likely to improve in areas such as health, nutrition, general income and living standards and population fertility rates.
As global citizens it is our responsibility to critically think about the issues and attempt to come
up with solutions to the problems plaguing education. In 1990 UNESCO launched EFA, the movement to provide quality education for all children, youth, and adults by the year 2015. The unfortunate reality is that for many countries, larger issues some before improving the quality of education. How can we achieve the goals of EFA when numerous countries around the world are faced with challenges that seem far too impossible to overcome? The answer lies in attempting to bridge some of the gaps that prevent developing nations to compete with developed nations. One example is that of providing greater access to technology and narrowing the ever widening digital divide. In many ways the most basic access to technology can serve as a valuable educational tool. Individuals who are not afforded this access are at a disadvantage when trying to grasp opportunities to make life better for themselves, their families, and their community.

10. If the author is right concerning the role of education, the following might be predicted to

KUNCI JAWABAN DAN PEMBAHASAN
1. Jawaban A
Pembahasan :
Kalimat "However, older Chinese and Japanese still consider the act of
kissing to be intimate
and reserved for moments of privacy." meminta
kita untuk mencari kalimat yang bertentangan
dengan kalimat tersebut.
Maka, kita harus mencari ide yang bertentangan dengan privasi. Dari
paragraf 1 kita ketahui tentang ide public. Karenanya, pilihan A adalah
pilihan yang tepat.
2. Jawaban C
Pembahasan :
Pada pilihan kita dapat melihat bahwa kata – kata yang muncul dihubungkan dengan ‘and’,
maka untuk mencari jawaban yang tepat, pertama kita harus melihat setiap bentuk kata,
semua kata harus memiliki bentuk yang sama.
(A) acceptable, affectionate and love = adjective, adjective, noun
(B) acceptable, affective and loving = adjective, adjective, adjective
(C) acceptance, affection and love = noun, noun, noun
(D) acceptably, affectionately and lovingly = adverb, adverb, adverb
(E) acceptance, affect and love = noun, verb, noun
Maka pilihan B, C, dan D memungkinkan. Setelah kita melihat rumpang,
kita ketahui bahwa
pilihan yang mungkin adalah pilihan noun. Jika kita
artikan, maka kalimat rumpang akan menjadi
: … digunakan untuk
mengekspresikan penerimaan, kasih, dan sayang.
3. Jawab : E
Pembahasan :
Untuk mengisi rumpang seperti ini, kita harus mengingat rumus frase
benda article – adjective –
noun, a adalah article dan influence adalah
kata benda, maka jawaban yang mungkin adalah
grown dan growing. Jika
kita memilih grown maka kalimat akan menjadi sebuah pengaruh yang
dikembangkan; sedang jika kita memilih growing, maka kalimat akan
menjadi sebuah pengaruh
yang berkembang. Sehingga, jawaban yang paling
tepat adalah growing (E).
4. Jawaban E
Pembahasan :
Dengan melihat kalimat sebelum rumpang, kita ketahui bahwa kalimat tersebut sudah lengkap.
Maka yang harus dipilih adalah kalimat tambahan, bisa berupa keterangan ataupun klausa.
Pilih pilihan yang diawali kata keterangan seperti because, to, for, by, as, dsb.
Maka, jawaban yang tepat adalah E (sebagai alat untuk mengekspresikan salam).
5. Jawabaan A
Pembahasan :
Cara termudah menjawab pertanyaan seperti ini adalah dengan mencermati pilihan. (B) which
dan (D) that tidak tepat karena keduanya dapat dipakai bergantian (C) whose tidak tepat karena
setelah rumpang ada ‘the’ (E) who tidak tepat karena kata sebelum rumpang bukanlah manusia,
melainkan ritual Maka jawaban yang tepat adalah (A) in which
6. Jawaban A
Pembahasan :
Untuk pilihan modal, lebih baik mengartikannya satu persatu setelah meneliti pilihan. Dari
kalimat rumpang, kita harus memilih jawaban yang mengandung kata ‘have’ karena 1200
sebelum masehi sudah berlalu. Karenanya pilihan D dapat kita singkirkan.
Mari kita perhatikan pilihan – pilihan tersebut:
A. praktik seperti itu mungkin sudah diperkenalkan di awal tahun 1200 sebelum masehi
B. praktik seperti itu mungkin akan sudah diperkenalkan di awal tahun 1200 sebelum masehi
C. praktik seperti itu dapat diperkenakan di awal tahun 1200 sebelum masehi

7. Jawaban E

bukan sesuatu yang sudah pasti. Pilihan C kurang tepat karena kata originate
with mengandung
arti to have something /somebody as a cause or beginning
(bahwa seseorang atau sesuatu lah
yang menyebabkan munculnya sesuatu),
bukan sipelaku yang menjelaskan. Selain itu, pilihan C
senada dengan
pilihan A dan D. Maka, dapat disimpulkan bahwa pilihan A dan D juga
kurang
tepat. Maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa pilihan yang lebih tepat
adalah E.
9. B. education is a fundamental individual's right.
10. A. lesser birth rates
11. D. EFA provides quality education by 2015.
12. A. education is essentially everyone's right yet it still has its challenges.
