Pembahasan Soal dan Jawaban

A. Structure
1. Jawab            : (C) To meet
    Keyword        : the demands of aerospace
    Pembahasan : Pola infinitive phrase: to infinitive + object of to infinitive
                             Kalimat tersebut menyatakan tujuan atau maksud. Maka dibutuhkan to
infinitive prhase.
                             Sehingg pilihan phrase yang tepat untuk mengisi rumpang tersebut adalah
to meet.

2. Jawab              : (D) Written by

    Keyword         : James A. Bland
    Pembahasan  : Kalimat di atas membutuhkan Adjective Phrase untuk menerangkan kata
benda “Carry Me Back to Old Virginny”.
                              Frasa ajektif yang paling tepat adalah Written by. Mengapa disebut frasa
ajektif, karea past participle (v3) yang
                              tidak ditemani bentuk be atau have adalah sebuah ajektif.

3. Jawab            : (D) a popular soprano in

    Keyword        : Mary Garden
    Pembahasan : Kalimat pada soal membutuhkan Appositive Phrase. Mary Garden dan
appositive phrase (a popular soprano)
                              memiliki makna yang sama. Maka jawaban yang tepat adalah a popular
soprano in.

4. Jawab            : (B) Who believed

    Keyword        : a dualist
    Pembahasan : Pola adjective clause : (Conj. + S + V).
                              Untuk menerangkan kata benda a dualist maka klausa yang tepat adalah
who believed.

B. Written Expression.
16. Jawab           : (B) a nearly
      Keyword       : hundred large stumps
      Pembahasan : a nearly -> nearly
                               Kata “a nearly” tidak memerlukan indefinite article/determiner “a”,
karena kata benda stumps adalah plural.

17. Jawab            : (B) The more

      Keyword        : the planet Mars
      Pembahasan : the more -> more
                               Pola comparative: more ___ than ___
                               Maka seharusnya tidak perlu definite article “the” tapi cukup “more” saja.

18. Jawab            : (B) visible remains

      Keyword        : the sun
      Pembahasan : visible remains -> remains visible
                               Kata the sun dalam anak kalimat di atas memerlukan predicate bukan
noun phrase (visible remains).
                               Yang tepat seharusnya remains visible.

19. Jawab            : (D) farmer

      Keyword        : and
      Pembahasan : farmer -> farming
                               Konjungsi and digunakan untuk menghubungkan kelas kata yang
sederajat. Karena sebelum “and” bentuk
                               katanya adalah gerund maka kata farmer seharusnya diubah dalam bentuk
gerund juga yaitu farming.

ntuk penjelasan lebih detil, berikut disampaikan beragam soal TOEFL structure dan
pembahasannya:

1. I wish you would tell me ………………….(A) Who is being lived next door
(B) Who does live in the next door
(C) Who lives next door
(D) Who next door was living

Urutan kalimat yang benar adalah subject + verb + (complement) + (modifier). Jadi
kalimat (D) sudah pasti salah karena tidak sesuai aturan baku. Sedangkan pada
kalimat (A), is being lived tidak mungkin pada model struktur verbal. Kemudian
kalimat (B) dapat diabaikan karena kata does dan in the tidak penting berada dalam
kalimat model ini. Jadi jawaban yang benar adalah (C).

2. During the Daytona, the lead car ………………….., leaving the others far behind.(A)
Forwarded rapidly
(B) Advanced rapidly
(C) Advanced forward rapidly
(D) Advanced in a rapidly manner

Setelah subject ‘the lead car’ tentunya Anda akan membutuhkan verb untuk
melengkapi kalimat tersebut. Kata forward bukan merupakan verb, jadi jawaban (A)
salah. Lalu jawaban (B) adalah benar verb + adverb rapidly. Jawaban (C) berlebihan
karena advanced artinya move forward, sedangkan jawaban (D) tidak tepat karena
rapidly harusnya digunakan sebagai bentuk adjective.

3. In the(A) United States, there(B) are much(C) holidays throughout the(D) year.Dalam
kalimat ini tampak bahwa kata much dapat dikategorikan sebagai non-count nouns
 sedangkan kata holidays merupakan count noun.
Jadi kata yang salah adalah (C) yang harusnya diganti dengan kata many.
4. Tomatoes(A) grows(B) all(C) year long in(D) Florida.Melihat keseluruhan konteks
dalam kalimat tersebut, maka jelaslah bahwa yang dimaksud disini adalah tomatoes
dalam bentuk plural. Maka dari itu, pasangan yang sesuai setelah bentuk plural adalah
singular. Jadi jawaban (B) salah dan harusnya diganti dengan kata singular grow.
