Jawaban yang benar adalah (B) created.

Soal ini meminta kita melengkapi bagian rumpang nomor 2 dalam teks.

Kalimatnya adalah 'In Indonesia, the Ministry of Public Relations Bureau _____ a TikTok account in March 2019 with the same intent, reaching out to the youth' (Di Indonesia, Biro Humas Kementerian Humas _____ akun TikTok pada Maret 2019 dengan tujuan yang sama yaitu menjangkau kaum muda).

Kalimat tersebut menyatakan aksi yang telah dilakukan di waktu lampau, sehingga berpola Simple Past Tense (S + V2). Sama seperti pola kalimat sebelumnya, yaitu 'Malaysia’s former prime minister, Mahathir Mohammad, (S) created (V2) a TikTok account to reach younger audiences'.

Maka, bagian rumpang nomor 2 dilengkapi dengan V2. Perhatikan pilihan jawabannya:
a. creates (V1-s/es)
b. created (V2)
c. has + created (V3)
d. was + created (V3)
e. has + been + created (V3)

Kata kerja yang tepat adalah 'created', jawaban B. Kalimat lengkapnya menjadi  'In Indonesia, the Ministry of Public Relations Bureau created a TikTok account in March 2019 with the same intent, reaching out to the youth' (Di Indonesia, Biro Humas Kementerian Humas membuat akun TikTok pada Maret 2019 dengan tujuan yang sama yaitu menjangkau kaum muda).

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat adalah (B) created.
