The Wolf and the Crane

Jawaban yang tepat adalah “the big Crane”.

Soal diatas meminta kita untuk mengisi bagian yang kosong dalam kalimat dengan pilihan kata yang tepat.

Cerita diatas mengisahkan mengenai serigala dan burung jenjang. Pada saat sang serigala memakan daging binatang buruannya, tulangnya tersangkut pada tenggorokan sang serigala. Sang serigala kemudian meminta bantuan kepada setiap hewan yang dia temui untuk mengambil tulang tersebut dari tenggorokannya.

Pada soal nomor 3 tertulis “At last ____ agreed to try, and told the Wolf to lie on his side and open his jaws as wide as he could.” Artinya “Pada akhirnya …. setuju untuk mencoba, dan mengatakan kepada si serigala untuk berbaring di satu sisi dan membuka rahangnya lebar-lebar.” Dari kalimat ini, kita bisa memperkirakan bahwa akhirnya ada satu hewan yang mau membantu si serigala.

Dalam kalimat selanjutnya tertulis “Then the Crane put its long neck down the Wolf's throat”, yang artinya “Kemudian burung jenjang tersebut memasukkan lehernya  ke dalam tenggorokan si serigala”. Jadi, kita tahu bahwa burung jenjang (the crane) itulah yang setuju untuk membantu serigala.

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat untuk mengisi bagian kosong nomor 3 adalah “the big Crane”.
