Jawaban untuk soal ini adalah (c) However.

Soal ini meminta untuk melengkapi bagian rumpang nomor 48.

Kalimatnya adalah "Penguins have stout bodies covered in black- and-white fur and short legs. (48) ___ they can (49) ___ at fast pace" yang artinya "Penguin memiliki tubuh kekar yang ditutupi bulu hitam-putih dan kaki pendek. (48) ___ mereka bisa (49) ___ dengan cepat."

Berdasarkan konteksnya, kedua kalimat tersebut menyatakan sesuatu yang bertolak belakang, sehingga kata hubung yang sesuai digunakan pada bagian rumpang nomor 48 adalah "however" yang artinya "namun, tetapi."

Dengan demikian kalimatnya menjadi "Penguins have stout bodies covered in black- and-white fur and short legs. However they can (49) ___ at fast pace" yang artinya "Penguin memiliki tubuh kekar yang ditutupi bulu hitam-putih dan kaki pendek. Namun mereka bisa (49) ___ dengan cepat."

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat adalah (c) However.
