A Pirate at a Bar

A pirate was talking to a “land-lubber” in a bar. The land-lubber noticed that, like any self-respecting pirate, this guy* had a *peg *leg, a *hook in place of one of his hands and a patch over one eye. The land-lubber* just had to find out how the pirate got in such bad shape. He asked the pirate,

“How did you loose your leg?” The pirate responded,

“I lost my leg in a battle off the coast of Jamaica!” His new friend was still curious so he asked,

“What about your hand. Did you loose it at the same time?”

“No,” answered the pirate. “I lost it to the *sharks off the Florida Keys.” Finally, the land-lubber asked,

“I notice you also have an eye patch. How did you loose your eye?” The pirate answered,

“I was sleeping on a beach when a seagull flew over and *crapped right in my eye.” The land-lubber asked,

“How could a little seagull *crap make you loose your eye?” The pirate *snapped,

“It was the day just after I got my hook*!”

Jawaban yang benar adalah “False. Corrections: The land-lubber was interested in the story behind the pirate's bad appearance”.

Soal diatas meminta kita untuk menentukan apakah pernyataan diatas benar (True) atau salah (False) berdasarkan teksnya.

Dalam teks diceritakan mengenai seorang land-lubber (orang daratan) bertanya kepada bajak laut mengapa sang bajak laut memiliki kaki palsu, tangan yang terbuat dari kait dan mata tertutup satu.

Pernyataan “The land-lubber was interested in the pirate’s jewelry” berarti “Orang-daratan itu tertarik dengan perhiasan si bajak laut”. Pernyataan ini tidak benar (False), karena si bajak laut tidak diceritakan memiliki perhiasan, dan orang-daratan tersebut juga tidak menanyakan mengenai perhiasan bajak laut.

Dalam teks, orang-daratan tersebut tertarik dengan penampilan buruk si bajak laut, sehingga dia menanyakan alasan mengapa si bajak laut memiliki kaki palsu, tangan yang terbuat dari kait dan mata tertutup satu.

Jadi, pernyataan dalam soal adalah salah (False). Pembenarannya (correction) adalah “The land-lubber was interested in the story behind the pirate's bad appearance” yang berarti “Orang-daratan tersebut tertarik pada cerita dibalik penampilan buruk si bajak laut”.
