Question

The text is for the following question.

Aflatoxins are toxins produced by the mold aspergillus flavus that can grow on pet food ingredients such as corn, peanuts, and other grains. At high levels, aflatoxins can cause illness (aflatoxicosis), liver damage, and death in pets. the toxins can be present even if there is no visible mold on the pet food.

(1) Pets that eat food containing unsafe levels of aflatoxins can develop aflatoxin poisoning. (2) Pets are highly susceptible to aflatoxin poisoning because, unlike people, who eat a varied diet, pets generally eat the same food continuously over extended periods of time. (3) Yet, pets don't have the same meal times as humans. (4) If a pet’s food contains aflatoxins, the toxins could accumulate in the pet’s system as they continue to eat the same food. (5) Aflatoxin poisoning can also occur if a pet eats moldy corn, grains, peanuts, or other aflatoxin contaminated food.

Pets suffering from aflatoxin poisoning may experience signs such as sluggishness, loss of appetite, vomiting, jaundice (yellowish tint to the eyes, gums or skin due to liver damage), unexplained bruising or bleeding, and/or diarrhea. In some cases, aflatoxins can affect blood clotting and cause long-term liver problems and/or death. Some pets may suffer liver damage without showing any signs in the early stages of aflatoxin poisoning and if they continue eating contaminated food, they may die suddenly. Pet owners who suspect their pets have been eating products contaminated with aflatoxins should contact their veterinarians and immediately stop feeding the suspected food, especially if the pets are showing signs of illness.

Based on the passage, the relationship between pets and great levels of aflatoxins is analogous with ....

Salah satu jawaban yang benar adalah: human and poison.

Soal meminta untuk menjawab pertanyaan berdasarkan teks. Terjemahan soal tersebut adalah: "Berdasarkan teks tersebut, hubungan antara hewan peliharaan dan tingginya aflatoksin dapat dianalogikan dengan ____."

Jawaban untuk pertanyaan ini boleh bervariasi namun harus sesuai dengan penjelasan dalam teks. Dalam paragraf 1 tertulis, "Aflatoxins are toxins . . . that can grow on pet food ingredients . . . At high levels, aflatoxins can cause illness (aflatoxicosis), liver damage, and death in pets," yang artinya, "Aflatoksin adalah racun . . . yang berkembang dalam bahan makanan hewan . . . Dalam jumlah tinggi, aflatoksin dapat mengakibatkan penyakit (aflatoksikosis), kerusakan hati, dan kematian pada hewan."

Dari informasi tersebut dapat diketahui bahwa aflatoksin adalah sejenis racun. Dengan demikian, hubungan tersebut juga dapat dianalogikan seperti hubungan manusia (human) dengan racun (poison) secara umum yang juga dapat mengakibatkan penyakit dan kematian. Sehingga kalimat lengkapnya menjadi: "Based on the passage, the relationship between pets and great levels of aflatoxins is analogous with HUMAN AND POISON."

Oleh karena itu, salah satu jawaban yang benar adalah: human and poison.
