Seven Killed in Accident on Jalan Sultan

Seven people were killed in a collision between a bus, a car and a truck at 10:35 p.m. on Jalan Sultan last night. The dead were all passengers in the car. Police believe the car may have been trying to overtake the bus when it was struck by a truck coming from the opposite direction. The driver of the car may not have been using his lights, as the truck driver said he did not see the car approaching.

The police said the car should not have been trying to pass the bus, since overtaking is not allowed on Jalan Sultan. In addition, the police reported that the car–a small Japanese car–should not have been carrying more than five people. The names of the victims are not yet known.

T. Azzahra · Accepted Answer

Jawaban untuk soal di atas adalah "False."

Soal ini meminta untuk menentukan benar atau salah pernyataan yang diberikan berdasarkan teks.

Pernyataannya adalah "The driver of the truck may not have been driving carefully" yang artinya "Pengemudi truk mungkin tidak mengemudi dengan hati-hati."

Di paragraf pertama terdapat kalimat "The driver of the car may not have been using his lights, as the truck driver said he did not see the car approaching" yang artinya "Pengemudi mobil mungkin tidak menggunakan lampunya, karena pengemudi truk mengatakan dia tidak melihat mobil mendekat."

Kemudian di awal paragraf kedua disebutkan "The police said the car should not have been trying to pass the bus, since overtaking is not allowed on Jalan Sultan" yang artinya "Polisi mengatakan mobil seharusnya tidak berusaha melewati bus, karena menyalip tidak diperbolehkan di Jalan Sultan."

Berdasarkan kalimat tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa pada kecelakaan ini disebabkan oleh kesalahan atau ketidakhati-hatian dari pengemudi mobil, bukan truk.

Dengan demikian pernyataan "The driver of the truck may not have been driving carefully" tidak sesuai (F) dengan isi teks.

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat adalah "False."
