Pembahasan Soal TOEFL

1. Jawaban (B) began.Kalimat tersebut terdiri dari dua clause:1.  Amanda Way's career as a social reformer____ in 1851 when2. she called for a state woman's rights convention.Anda bisa lihat bahwa clause pertama kehilangan verb (kata kerja) olehnya yang harus kita cari yaitu verb yang bisa mengisi clause tersebut. Jawaban A salah. Clause ke dua menggunakan kata kerja bentuk past (called) jadi begin yang berbentuk present tidak paralel dengan clause ke dua tersebut. Kalimat harus paralel. Jawaban C berbentu past perfect. Ingat past perfect tak akan menggunakan kata keterangan waktu yang pasti seperti pada kalimat ini. Kata keterangan waktu yang pasti pada klaimat ini yaitu in 1851. Jawaban D lebih jelas tak sesuai.

2. Jawaban (A) a small upright piano.Kalimat ini membutuhkan objek dari kata kerja resemble = mirip.

3. Jawaban (C) an eloquent writer.Di antara ke dua koma stelah subject itu membutuhkan appositive yang menjelaskan terkait identitas subject Thomas Paine.

4. Jawaban (B) as long as.as long as = and.

5. Jawaban (B) and.dua kata kerja begins dan ends. jadi dibutuhkan kata penghubung and untuk menghubungkannya.

6. Jawaban (C) hydrocarbon molecules break up.Kata its membutuhkan Noun (phrase) setelahnya. Phrase hydrocarbon molecules sesuai dengan persyaratan in, sementara kata break up menjadi verb dari its hydrocarbon molecules.

7. kunci jawaban (C) All.Jika menggunakan jawaban A maka seharusya all of the ballet dancers. Jawaban D salah. Kata every harus bertemu noun singular sementara dancers berbentuk jamak.

8. Jawaban (A) creeping colonies.Kata kerja form membutuhkan object.

9. Jawaban yang benar yaitu (D) winning five of them.

Hanya saja saya kurang yakin bagaimana cara menjelaskannya. Kalau saya lihat-lihat bentuk ini masuk di reduction (adverb clause). Jadi winning five of them itu merupakan phrase yang direduksi (hasil reduction) dari adverb clause. Hanya saja yang saya lihat di buku referensi saya -Betty semua contoh Phrase hasil reduction dari adverb clause posisinya di depan kalimat. Jadi itulah mengapa saya kurang yakin dengan penjelasan terkait soal ini. Menurut saya inilah soal TOEFL. Kalau kita perhatikan di buku-buku akademik tingkat advanced banyak kalimat yg menurut kita agak aneh.

10. Jawaban yang sesuai adalah (D) that directs.Jawaban soal ini terkait penggunaan adjective clause yang menjelaskan kata the process.

11. Jawaban yang benar yaitu (C) Extending.Pelajari tentang reduction dalam adverb clause.Extending 363 miles between the cities of Albany and Buffalo in New York State. merupkan hasil reduction dari the Eric Canal extends 363 miles between the cities of Albany and Buffalo in New York State.

12. Jawaban yang tepat ialah (B) that is not.Ada dua clause:1. The chief sources of B12 include meat, milk and eggs.2. a water-soluble vitamin ____ stored in the body.Clause ke dua menjelaskan subejct dari clause pertama. Clause ke dua tersebut membutuhkan verb.

13. Jawaban yang benar yaitu (B) The history of twentieth-century architecture.Kalimat ini membutuhkas subject.

14. Jawaban yang benar yaitu (C) water vapor condenses.Sudah jelas

15. Jawaban (D) engaging.Mirip dengan bentuk soal no. 9.
