Pak/Bu, pertanyaan yang ini belum terjawab.

The durian is the fruit of trees of the genus Durio. The fruit is widely known and revered in Southeast Asia as the “King of Fruits”. A durian is distinctive for its large size, unique odor, and a formidable thorn-covered husk.

            The fruit can grow up to 30 centimeters (12 in) long and 15 centimeters (6 in) in diameter, and typically weighs one to three kilograms. Its shape ranges from oblong to round, the color of its husk green to brown and its flesh pale-yellow to red, depending on species. The hard outer husk is covered with sharp, prickly thorns, while the edible flesh within emits the distinctive odor. The odor of the ripe fruit is very strong and penetrating, even when the husk of the fruit is still intact.

            The flesh of the durian was famously described by the British naturalist, Alfred Russell Wallace. He called it “rich custard highly flavored with almonds”. Durians can be consumed at various stages of ripeness, and are used to flavor a wide variety of edibles, both savory and sweet.

            Durians from different species or clones can have significantly different aromas. For example, red durian has a deep caramel flavor with a turpentine odor, while red-fleshed durian emits a fragrance of roasted almonds. The degree of ripeness has a great effect on the flavor as well.

Pertanyaannya adalah:

According to the text, the following statements are true, EXCEPT………

a.   the ripe fruit releases unpleasant odor

b.   a deep caramel is one of the durian’s flavor

c.   the hard outer dusk is covered with sharp thorns

d.   durian revered in Southeast Asia as “King of Fruits”

Pak/Bu, mohon jawabannya SEGERA. Pertanyaan2 ini belum terjawab juga.

A rabbit is a small furry mammal with a short tail and large ears. Rabbits live in burrows in the ground. Each burrow is the home of a single family. The first fossil which can be attributed to this family came from North America, but now they are found in every part of the world. Compared to its small body, the rabbit has large-sized ears.

            A rabbit is weak and timid animal and is always surrounded by many enemies. Therefore, nature has gifted it with large ears to help it hear. The large area of the ear catches almost every sound wave produced in the air and transfers them into the inner ear. This makes the rabbit detect its enemies in time and run to safety zones.

            You must have noticed that a rabbit washes its ears by repeatedly licking its forepaws and rubbing them over the surface of its ears. It does this in order to keep its ears clean, and also to take into its mouth natural oil which surrounds the ears surface. This oil is important in forming vitamin D which is necessary for the growth of healthy bones.

Pertanyaannya adalah:

The purpose of the text is ………

a.   to amuse the story

b.   to retell rabbit’s habitat

c.   to describe rabbit’s ears

d.   to describe rabbit’s in general
