Question

The marked word refers to .... 

Hercules and the Wagoner 

A farmer was driving his wagon along a mary country road after a heavy rain. The horses could hardly drag the load through the deep mud, and at last came to a standstill when one of the wheels sank to the hub in a rut.

The farmer climbed down from his seat and stood beside the wagon looking at it but without making the least effort to get *it* out of the rut. All he did was to curse his bad luck and call loudly on hercules to come to his aid. Then, it is said, hercules really did appear saying , put your shoulder to the wheel , man, and urge on your horses. Do you think you can move the wagon by simply looking at it and whining about it? Hercules will not help unless you make some effort to help yourself. 

And when the farmer put his shoulder to the wheel and urged on the horses , the wagon moved very readily, and soon the farmer was riding along in great content with a good lesson learned. 

a. A rut 
b. the wagon 
c. the hub 
d. the wheel

Jawabannya adalah b. the wagon.

Soal menanyakan rujukan kata.

Dituliskan pada teks "The farmer climbed down from his seat and stood beside the wagon looking at it but without making the least effort to get *it* out of the rut."

Kutipan ini bermakna: "Petani itu turun dari tempat duduknya dan berdiri di samping gerobak sambil memandanginya, tetapi tanpa berusaha sedikit pun untuk mengeluarkannya dari kebiasaannya."

Berdasarkan ini, kata 'it' pada kalimat "least effort to get *it* out of the rut" mengarah kepada kata 'the wagon'.

Jadi, jawabannya adalah b. the wagon.
