Jawaban untuk soal ini adalah "saw".

Soal ini meminta untuk dilengkapi bagian rumpang nomor 17 dengan bentuk kata kerja yang sesuai di antara pilihan tertera.

Teks di soal ini merupakan teks Recount yang menceritakan pengalaman bermimpi Jimmy di masa lampau.

Untuk menjawab soalnya, perhatikan dua kalimat berikut di paragraf 2:

"One night, Jimmy had a very strange dream: ... Suddenly they heared someone calling "Hello! Hello!" They turned around and they ____ (17. see) a strange creature."

Arti
"Suatu malam, Jimmy mengalami mimpi yang sangat aneh: ... Tiba-tiba mereka mendengar seseorang memanggil "Halo! Halo!" Mereka membalikkan badan dan ____ (17. melihat) makhluk aneh."

Kata 'they' (mereka) merujuk pada 'Jimmy dan temannya, Paul'.

Kalimat tersebut adalah bagian dari teks Recount di soal ini sehingga ditulis memakai Simple Past Tense karena ada keterangan waktu 'one night' (suatu malam) untuk menceritakan isi mimpi Jimmy pada suatu malam di masa lampau, yaitu 'melihat' sesosok makhluk aneh.

Oleh karena itu, bagian rumpang nomor 17 bisa diisi oleh kata 'melihat' mengikuti rumus Simple Past Tense berikut:

(+) S + V2 + O/C.

S (subjek) yang dimaksud adalah 'they'. Mengikuti rumus, setelahnya tuliskan kata kerja bentuk kedua (V2) dari 'see' (melihat) yaitu 'saw'.

Itu tandanya, bagian rumpang nomor 17 bisa diisi oleh kata 'saw' dan berikut kalimat lengkapnya:

"They turned around and they saw a strange creature" artinya "Mereka membalikkan badan dan melihat makhluk aneh".

Jadi, jawaban untuk soal ini adalah "saw".
