Two Farmers

Two farmers had a big horse. This was fifty years ago, when farmers used horses a lot. The horse worked in the day and slept in a stable at night.

The horse was a big animal, and the entrance of its ears hit the top of the entrance. The horse did not like this. It got angry and often kicked the farmers.

‘What can we do about this problem?’ they often asked.

After a long time, one of them thought of an answer. He said, ‘Let’s cut away the top of the entrance will be higher.’

So they found a saw and started cutting. Their saw was old and not very good, so the work was hard.

After a few minutes, a friend came to see them. ‘What are you doing?’ their friend asked.

The farmers told him about the problem. The friend said, ‘You don’t have to cut the entrance with a saw. You can dig the entrance with a spade. Then the floor will be lower. That’ll be easier and quicker.’

The farmers thanked their friend, and he went away. Then one farmer said to the other, ‘That man’s stupid. The horse’s ears are the problem, not its feet.’

The horse was too ... for the entrance.

a. thin
b. tall
c. slow
d. short

Jawaban untuk soal di atas adalah b. tall.

Soal ini meminta melengkapi kalimat rumpang pada soal berdasarkan isi teks.

Kalimatnya adalah "The horse was too ... for the entrance" yang artinya "Kuda itu terlalu ... untuk pintu masuk."

Pada paragraf kedua disebutkan "The horse was a big animal, and the entrance of its ears hit the top of the entrance" yang artinya "Kuda itu adalah hewan besar, dan pintu masuk telinganya mengenai bagian atas pintu masuk."

Berdasarkan kalimat tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa alasan kuda itu terlalu tinggi dibandingkan pintu masuk yang ada sehingga telinganya selalu mengenai bagian atas pintu masuk.

Dengan demikian kata yang sesuai untuk melengkapi bagian rumpang kalimat adalah "tall" yang artinya "tinggi."

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat adalah b. tall.
