Question

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*!”

Jawabannya adalah “True”.

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 “A land-lubber was interested in talking to the pirate” berarti “Seorang orang-daratan tertarik untuk berbicara dengan si bajak laut”. Pernyataan ini benar, sesuai dengan teks yang tertulis “The land-lubber just had to find out how the pirate got in such bad shape. He asked the pirate”, yang artinya “Orang-daratan itu hanya ingin tahu bagaimana si bajak laut memiliki penampilan seburuk itu. Dia bertanya kepada bajak laut”.

Jadi, berdasarkan teks kita mengetahui bahwa orang-daratan tersebut ingin menanyakan alasan mengapa si bajak laut memiliki penampilan yang buruk, sehingga kita dapat menyimpulkan bahwa orang-daratan tersebut tertarik untuk berbicara dengan bajak laut dan menjadi yang pertama yang mengajak ngobrol dengannya.

Kesimpulannya, pernyataan diatas adalah benar (True).
