Once upon a time there lived a father with his sons. However, they could not live in peace and harmony
since the sons were always fighting. The father had no luck trying to stop their arguments with words, so he
decided to teach them a lesson.
One day he told his sons to bring him a bunch of sticks. He took the sticks and gave them to his eldest
son and asked him to break them. The eldest son tried with all his strength, but was not able to do it. The other
sons tried and were also unsuccessful. The father then said, My sons, if you are of one mind and unite to assist
each other, you will be like these sticks together; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as
easily as a single stick.

some corn.
Caw-n, caw-n, they cackled excitedly.
The old rooster woke up to their activities and
started to crow excitedly to the sleeping family. Wake
up, wake up, wake up!
The farmer and his wife just kept sleeping,
and the crows kept eating the corn.
Caw-n, caw-n, they called.
The crows are in the corn! The crows are in
the corn! The rooster cock-a-doodle-dooed with all his
might.
The farmer kept snoring, and his wife just
rolled over and pulled the pillow over her head.
The rooster was frantic. He tried once more:
The crows are in the corn. Theyre pulling up the
corn!
The farmer and his wife kept right on sleeping.
And the crows kept right on eating.
The rooster quit crowing in disgust. Nothing
would wake the farmer and his wife.
The old turkey came strolling into the yard and
watched the proceedings. Finally, he said to the
rooster, The corns all ate up, all ate up, all ate up.
When the farmer and his wife finally rolled out
of bed, they found that the corn was all gone. That is
why in Georgia we say the crows are in the corn
when it is time to get up.

The Crows are in the Corn
It happened in Georgia not long ago that
a farmer and his wife decided to sleep late, like the
rich folk do. It was a beautiful Sunday morning, the
kind that brings all Gods creatures out to play. But not
these farm folk. No, they just slept and slept and slept.
The crows were gathered in a large oak tree,

The princess was so beautiful that the angel too

fell in love with her. That made God sad and
instantly the angel was turned into a beautiful bird
which sang beautifully but everyone avoided the poor
thing.
The angel couldnt understand the reason for that
suffering. One day as the angel-bird perched on a big
tree standing on a hill in the middle of a field and
lamented its fate, four criminals came under the tree to
divide their loot. Then, they decided to send two of
them to buy some food and drink to have a feast. As
they were coming back from the city, the two criminals
decided to put poison in the food so they can divide
the loot of the other two criminals between
themselves.
Coincidentally, the other two criminals decided to
kill the food bearing crooks and grab their loot too. So
they shot them. After that, they ate the food and drank
the wine and died in pain soon after that.
Thats when the angel understood the
consequences of improper, illegal desires. They
brought suffering, sorrow and death. God sent us to
this Earth to live by the law of this freedom.

A.
Jawaban disimpulkan dari kalimat
anak perempuan itu, yaitu I finally put the
PC together!, yang direspons anak laki-laki
itu dengan berkata, Whats so hard about
that? You only have to connect the monitor to
the CPU, connect the power and turn it on..

dibicarakan kedua pembicara adalah
merangkai seperangkat komputer.

3.

Isi cerita tersebut dapat disimpulkan
dari pikiran utama teks yang terdapat di
kalimat awal teks, yaitu Once upon a time
there lived a father with his sons. However,
they could not live in peace and harmony
since the sons were always fighting.. Jadi,

who were often fighting).
B.
Jawaban disimpulkan dari kalimatkalimat akhir teks (kalimat yang diucapkan
tokoh ayah), yaitu The father then said, My
sons, if you are of one mind and unite to

yourselves, you will be broken as easily as a
single stick... Dengan demikian, nilai moral
yang dapat kita petik adalah sebagai
saudara kita haruslah bersatu.

ditemukan (to announce a found thing).

7.

yang lain salah karena sesuai dengan isi

teks.

E.

Yang bukan ciri jam tangan itu adalah

(E) yang artinya jam tangan itu berwarna

coklat. Hal ini tidak sesuai dengan kalimat
The watch is round with brown leather
band. yang artinya Jam tangan itu bundar
dengan gelang jam dari kulit berwarna
coklat.. Jadi, yang berwarna coklat adalah
gelangnya, bukan jamnya. Pilihan jawaban

8.

D.
Tujuan adanya latihan yang diberikan
di tiap bab dalam buku ini adalah untuk
menguji dan meningkatkan pemahaman
pembaca. Hal ini sesuai dengan kalimat
dalam paragraf dua, yaitu One more thing,

(B) artinya menguasai, (C) artinya
mengubah, dan (D) artinya memahami.

10.

A.
Pernyataan yang salah tentang latar
belakang (setting) cerita tersebut adalah
(A) yang artinya peristiwa itu terjadi di

karena sesuai dengan isi teks. Pilihan
jawaban (B) dan (E) sesuai dengan kalimat
It was a beautiful Sunday morning, . . . .,
pilihan jawaban (C) sesuai dengan kalimat
awal teks It happened in Georgia
. . . ., dan pilihan jawaban (D) benar karena
cerita tersebut tentang burung gagak yang
ada di ladang jagung.

11.

E.
Cerita itu tentang burung-burung
gagak yang memakan semua jagung milik
petani karena ia dan istrinya terus-menerus
tidur meskipun ayam jantan terus berkokok
membangunkan mereka. Hal ini sesuai
dengan kalimat akhir paragraf satu It was a
beautiful Sunday morning, the kind that
brings all Gods creatures out to play. . . . No,
they just slept and slept and slept., paragraf
lima The farmer and his wife just kept
sleeping, . . . ., paragraf delapan The

ceroboh, (B) artinya sabar, (C) artinya rajin,
dan (D) artinya gelisah.
12.

13.

B.
Pilihan jawaban ini, yang artinya
jagung itu belum siap dipanen, benar untuk
pernyataan yang salah. Pernyataan tersebut
tidak sesuai dengan kalimat kedua paragraf
dua, yaitu . . . and that the corn was ripe in
the field. yang artinya . . . dan jagung di
ladang itu sudah masak.. Karena sudah
masak, berarti jagung itu siap dipanen
(ready to harvest).
C.

menangguhkan. Pilihan jawaban yang lain
salah; (A) artinya maju/berkembang,
(B) artinya berkembang, (D) artinya
merancang, mengatur, dan (E) artinya

Kalimat soal berpola the simple past
tense karena menjelaskan peristiwa yang
telah berlalu, yang disimpulkan dari
keterangan waktu yesterday afternoon. Jadi,
kata kerja yang tepat melengkapi kalimat
soal berbentuk past, yaitu (A) came.

15.

D.
Kalimat soal menjelaskan peristiwa
yang sedang berlangsung pada waktu
lampau, yang disimpulkan dari keterangan
waktu
at the moment pada kalimat sebelumnya,

continuous tense. Jadi, kata kerja yang tepat
melengkapi kalimat soal adalah
(D) were doing karena subjek kalimat we.

16.

C.
Teks tersebut adalah naratif karena
berisi peristiwa imajinatif/khayalan atau cerita
dari orang-orang yang tersebar dari mulut ke
mulut. Dengan demikian, tujuan teks tersebut

17. E.

Paragraf empat menceritakan akhir dari

ketamakan para penjahat itu, yaitu mereka
semua mati. Jadi, pilihan jawaban yang
benar adalah (E) yang artinya kematian
keempat penjahat itu. Pilihan jawaban
(A) gagasan utama paragraf satu,
(B) gagasan utama paragraf dua, sedangkan
(C) dan (D) terdapat di paragraf tiga.

18.

B.
Pilihan jawaban ini benar berdasarkan
kalimat akhir paragraf dua, yaitu The
princess was so beautiful that the angel too
fell in love with her. That made God sad and
instantly the angel was turned into
a beautiful bird . . . . yang artinya Putri itu
sangat cantik sehingga malaikat itu pun jatuh
cinta kepadanya. Itu membuat Dewa sedih
dan seketika malaikat itu diubah menjadi
seekor burung yang cantik . . . .. Pilihan
jawaban yang lain salah karena tidak sesuai
dengan isi teks.

19.

D.
Pilihan jawaban yang benar adalah
pernyataan yang salah, yaitu (D) yang artinya
dua orang penjahat terakhir mati karena air

mereka mati akibat makanan yang
sebelumnya diracun oleh kedua penjahat
lainnya, kalimat akhir paragraf tiga . . . the
two criminals decided to put poison in the
food . . . ., dan mereka minum anggur bukan
air, kalimat terakhir paragraf empat After that

dengan kalimat . . . four criminals came
under the tree to divide their loot. (paragraf
tiga), (B) sesuai dengan kalimat Then, they
decided to send two of them to buy some
food and drink to have a feast. (paragraf
tiga), (C) sesuai dengan kalimat So, they
shot them. (paragraf empat), dan (E) benar

20.

C.
Kata that merujuk pada pernyataan
yang disebutkan dalam kalimat sebelumnya,

yaitu The princess was so beautiful that the

angel too fell in love with her. yang artinya
Putri itu sangat cantik sehingga malaikat itu
pun jatuh cinta kepadanya.. Jadi, kata that
merujuk pada malaikat yang jatuh cinta
kepada putri itu (the angel fell in love with the
princess). Pilihan jawaban yang lain salah
karena tidak sesuai dengan isi teks.

Esai

Contoh jawaban:
The Idle Boy
There was a little boy. He was not a big boy
for if he had been a big boy, I suppose he would have
been wiser; but this was a little boy, not higher than
the table, and his papa and mamma sent him to
school.
It was a very pleasant morning; the sun
shone, and the birds sung on the trees. Now this little
boy did not much love his book for he was but a silly
little boy, as I told you; and he had a great mind to
play instead of going to school. And, he saw a bee
flying about, first upon one flower, and then upon
another; so he said, Pretty bee! Will you come and
play with me?
But the bee said, No, I must not be idle; I
must go and gather honey.
Then the little boy met a cat, and he said,
Cat, will you play with me? But the cat said, No, I
must not be idle; I am going to catch a mouse so that
it wont eat my masters lunch. I must make haste and
catch it.
Next, the little boy went by a hayrick, and he
saw a bird pulling some hay out of the hayrick, and he
said, Bird, will you come and play with me?
But the bird said, No, I must not be idle; I
must get some hay to build my nest with, and some
moss and some wool. So the bird flew away.

Then the little boy saw a horse, and he said,

Horse, will you play with me?
But the horse said, No, I must not be idle;
I must go and plough, or else there will be no corn to
make bread of.
At last, the little boy thought with himself,
What! Is nobody idle? If thats so, little boys must not
be idle neither. So he made haste, went to school,
and learned his lesson very well, and the teacher said
he was a good boy.
