Jawaban: make

Soal ini meminta kita melengkapi kalimat rumpang dengan bentuk kata kerja yang tepat.

Teks tersebut menggunakan Simple Present Tense, ditandai dengan keterangan waktu di awal paragraf yaitu 'today'.

Rumusnya:
(+) S + V1 (+s/es) + O
(-) S + do/does + not+ V1 + O
(?) Do/does + S + V1 + O?

Does dan V1 + s/es hanya digunakan untuk subjek he, she, it, dan singular.

Pada soal subjeknya adalah 'very few people' yang bersifat plural sehingga dipilih bentuk V1.

Sehingga kalimat soal akan menjadi:
Today, very few people make their own clothes.
(Sekarang, sangat sedikit orang yang membuat pakaiannya sendiri.)

Jadi, jawabannya: make.
