Question

Study the following text then decide whether the following statements are TRUE or FALSE. Correct the FALSE statements.

The Queen of the Adriatic

Venice is a city in northern Italy. It is the capital of region Veneto. Together with Padua, the city is included in the Padua-Venice Metropolitan Area. Venice has been known as the “Queen of the Adriatic”, “City of Water”, “City of Bridges”, and “The City of Light”. The city stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy.

Venice is world-famous for its canals. It is built on an archipelago of 117 islands formed by about 150 canals in a shallow lagoon. The islands on which the city is built are connected by about 400 bridges. In the old center, the canals serve the function of roads, and every form of transport is on water or on foot.

You can ride gondola there. It is the classical Venetian boat which nowadays is mostly used for tourists, or for weddings, funerals, or other ceremonies. Now, most Venetians travel by motorised waterbuses (“vaporetti”) which ply regular routes along the major canals and between the city’s islands. The city also has many private boats. The only gondolas still in common use by Venetians are the traghetti, foot passenger ferries crossing the Grand Canal at certain points without bridges.

You can see the amusing city’s landmarks such as Piazza San Marco, Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo, Saint Mark’s Cathedral or villas of the Veneto. The villas of the Veneto, rural residences for nobles during the Republic, are one of the most interesting aspects of Venetian countryside. They are surrounded by elegant gardens, suitable for fashionable parties of high society. The city is also well known for its beautiful and romantic view, especially at night.

Soal meminta kamu menentukan pernyataan benar atau salah berdasarkan teks di atas serta memperbaiki pernyataan yang salah.

Teks di atas menjabarkan kota Venesia yang berada di Itali. Kota ini terkenal sebagai kota air karena kota nya yang membentang di 117 pulau kecil di Laguna Venesia yang berawa di sepanjang Laut Adriatik di timur laut Italia serta terdapat banyak kanal.

Transportasi yang digunakan oleh kota ini ada di air atau berjalan kaki. Transportasi air yang bisa di gunakan adalah gondola yaitu perahu Venesia klasik yang saat ini banyak digunakan untuk turis, atau untuk pernikahan, pemakaman, atau upacara lainnya.  Sekarang, sebagian besar orang Venesia bepergian dengan bus air bermotor (“vaporetti”).

"You can ride gondola there. It is the classical Venetian boat which nowadays is mostly used for tourists, or for weddings, funerals, or other ceremonies. Now, most Venetians travel by motorised waterbuses (“vaporetti”) which ply regular routes along the major canals and between the city’s islands."

Maka pernyataan "People usually travel by gondola", orang-orang biasa bepergian dengan gondola adalah salah. Karena gondola hanya diperuntukan untuk acara khusus seperti pernikahan, dan digunakan untuk tujuan wisata. Mereka biasanya menggunakan 'vaporetti' atau bus air bermotor.

Jadi, jawaban yang benar adalah false, the correct statement is Gondola nowadays is mostly used for tourists, or for weddings, funerals, or other ceremonies. Now, most Venetians travel by motorised waterbuses (“vaporetti”).
