Fixing the Headstone

Once, there were two men walking home after a Halloween party. They decided to take a shortcut through the cemetery just for laughs. Right in the middle of the cemetery they were startled by a tap-tap-tapping noise coming from the misty shadows.

Trembling with fear, they found an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at one of the headstones.

“Holy cow, Mister,” one of them said after catching his breath, “You scared us half to death, we thought you were a ghost! What are you doing working here so late at night?”

“Those fools!” the old man *grumbled*. “They misspelled my name!”

Jawabannya b. He corrected his name written on his tombstone.

Buktinya ada di kalimat "Trembling with fear, they found an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at one of the headstones." (Bergetar karena ketakutan, mereka melihat laki-laki tua dengan palu dan alat pahat, sedang memahat sesuatu di batu nisan) dan kalimat “They misspelled my name!” (mereka salah mengeja namaku)

Artinya, si lelaki tua sedang memahat batu nisannya sendiri untuk memperbaiki namanya yang salah

Jawaban: b. He corrected his name written on his tombstone.

Soal ini meminta kita menjawab pertanyaan sesuai dengan teks yang tersedia.

Kalimat soal:
What did the old man do at that night?
(Apa yang dilakukan laki-laki tua di malam itu?)

Pada teks disebutkan:
Trembling with fear, they found an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at one of the headstones.
(Gemetar ketakutan, mereka menemukan seorang lelaki tua dengan palu dan pahat, sedang mengukit salah satu batu nisan.)

“Those fools!” the old man *grumbled*. “They misspelled my name!”
("Orang-orang bo doh itu!" lelaki tua itu mengomel. "Mereka salah mengeja namaku!")

Dari kalimat tersebut kita tahu bahwa lelaki tua itu sedang membenarkan kesalahan eja pada batu nisannya sendiri, sehingga kita tahu bahwa lelaki tua itu adalah hantu.

Jadi, jawabannya: b. He corrected his name written on his tombstone.
