Soal No. 1
Scientists have discovered the bones of what may be the largest meat-eating dinosaur ever to walk the earth. The discovery was made by a team of researchers from Argentina and North America in Patagonia, a desert on the eastern slopes of the Andes in South America. Besides the interesting fact that the dinosaur was huge and horrifying, it is even more astounding that the bones of a number of the dinosaurs were found together. This discovery challenges the prior theory that the biggest meat eaters live as loners and instead indicates that they may have lived and hunted in packs. The Tyrannosaurus Rex live in North America and was believed to hunt and live alone.
The newly discovered meat-eater appears to be related to the Giganotosaurus family. being asclosely related to it as a fox would be to a dog. It is actually not of the same family at all as the Tyrannosaurus Rex. being as different from it as a cat is from a dog.

Soal No. 6
Pandemics are expected in a globally interconnected world, so emergency plans were in place. In the United States, health officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) set in motion a national response plan developed for flu pandemics.
State by state and city by city, government officials took emergency measures to encourage “social distancing,” one of the many new terms that became part of the COVID-19 vocabulary. Travel was restricted. Schools and churches were closed. With the exception of “essential workers,” all offices and businesses were shuttered. By early April 2020, more than 316 million Americans were under a shelter-in-place or stay-at-home order.
With more than 1,000 deaths and nearly 100,000 cases, it was clear by April 2020 that COVID-19 was highly contagious and virulent. What wasn’t clear, even to public health officials, was how individuals could best protect themselves from COVID-19. In the early weeks of the outbreak, the CDC discouraged people from buying face masks, because officials feared a shortage of masks for doctors and hospital workers.
By April 2020, the CDC revised its recommendations, encouraging people to wear masks in public, to socially distance and to wash hands frequently. President Donald Trump undercut the CDC recommendations by emphasizing that masking was voluntary and vowing not to wear a mask himself. This was just the beginning of the political divisions that hobbled the COVID-19 response in America.

Pembahasan Soal No.8 🚀
The primary focus of the fourth paragraph is to emphasize how political factors negatively impacted the United States' response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It specifically highlights:
- Contrasting Actions: The juxtaposition of the CDC's mask-wearing recommendations and President Trump's actions that undermined them.
- Impact of Politics: The statement that these actions marked the beginning of political divisions that impeded a unified response.
While the paragraph mentions the CDC's recommendations and President Trump's actions, it does so primarily in the context of illustrating the broader issue of political interference in public health measures.
Soal No. 9
Pembahasan Soal No.9 🚀
The paragraph before the first paragraph is likely to introduce the broader context of pandemics, setting the stage for the specific discussion of the COVID-19 response in the United States. Among the options provided, a historical overview of past pandemics is the most relevant to this purpose.
Reasoning for Other Options:
- Option (a), accurately captures the most likely topic for the paragraph before the first paragraph.
- Option (b), while relevant to the overall impact of COVID-19, is too specific for the introductory paragraph.
- Option (c), while important for understanding pandemics, is more suited to a later section that delves into the science of COVID-19.
- Option (d), while relevant to the role of the CDC, is more appropriate for a paragraph that specifically introduces the CDC's role in the COVID-19 response.
Soal No. 10
Pembahasan No 10 🚀
The fourth paragraph of the passage discusses President Trump's approach to the CDC's mask recommendations. By emphasizing that masking was voluntary and openly declaring he would not wear a mask himself, President Trump introduced conflicting messages compared to the CDC's advice. This likely contributed to confusion and inconsistency in the public's adherence to masking guidelines, rather than a clear, unified response. The passage suggests that his stance was a part of the political divisions that further complicated the public health response during the COVID-19 pandemic.
