Vampire Bat

A vampire bat came flapping in from the night, face all covered in fresh blood and parked himself on the roof of the cave to get some sleep.

Pretty soon all the other bats smelt the blood and began h a s s l i n g him about where he got it. He told them to p i s s o f f and let him get some sleep, but they persisted until he finally gave in.

“OK, follow me,” he said and flew out of the cave with hundreds of bats behind him. Down through a valley they went, across a river and into a huge forest.

Finally he slowed down and all the other bats were excitedly around him with their tongues hanging out for blood.

“Do you see that large oak tree over there?” he asked. “YES, YES, YES!!!!” the bats all screamed in a frenzy.

“Good!” said the first bat, “Because I didn’t.”

Questions

2. Why did other vampire bats hassle him?

T. Azzahra · Accepted Answer

Jawaban untuk soal ini adalah "Other vampire bats hassled him because they want to know where he got the fresh blood that covered his face."

Soal ini menanyakan mengapa kelelawar vampir lain mengganggunya.

Pada paragraf pertama terdapat kalimat "A vampire bat came flapping in from the night, face all covered in fresh blood" yang artinya "Seekor kelelawar vampir datang mengepak dari malam, wajahnya berlumuran darah segar."

Kemudian di paragraf kedua disebutkan "Pretty soon all the other bats smelt the blood and began h a s s l i n g him about where he got it" yang artinya "Tak lama kemudian, semua kelelawar lainnya mencium bau darah dan mulai mencari tahu dari mana dia mendapatkannya."

Berdasarkan kalimat tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa alasan kelelawar lain mengganggunya adalah karena ingin tahu dari mana dia mendapatkan darah segar pada wajahnya tersebut.

Dengan demikian kalimatnya menjadi "Other vampire bats hassled him because they want to know where he got the fresh blood that covered his face" yang artinya "Kelelawar vampir lain mengganggunya karena ingin tahu dari mana dia mendapatkan darah segar yang menutupi wajahnya."

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat adalah "Other vampire bats hassled him because they want to know where he got the fresh blood that covered his face."
