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 phrase.
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.
Pastikan Kesesuaian Kalimat yang Memiliki Subject dan Verb
Anda tahu bahwa kalimat dalam bahasa Inggris harus memiliki subjek (subject) dan kata kerja
(verb). Jenis yang paling umum dalam pertanyaan STRUCTURE TOEFL Test ialah mengenai
subject dan verb: mungkin kata yang dikosongkan, baik subject atau verb atau keduanya, atau
mungkin kata yang memiliki subject tambahan atau verb tambahan. Cara menjawab soal TOEFL
structure jenis ini, perhatikan beberapa contoh berikut.
Contoh 1:
_________ was backed up for miles on the freeway.
(A) Yesterday
(B)
In the morning
(C) Traffic
(D)
Cars
Pembahasan Soal dan Jawaban
Dalam contoh di atas Anda melihat langsung bahwa ada sebuah kata kerja (verb), tapi tidak ada
subjek. Jawaban (C) adalah jawaban yang tepat karena mengandung subjek tunggal "traffic" dan
sesuai dengan kata kerja tunggal "was". Jawaban (A), "yesterday", dan jawaban (B), "in the
morning", bukanlah subjek, karenanya keduanya tidak benar. Meskipun jawaban (D), "cars", bisa
jadi subjek, itu pun tidak benar. Karena "cars" berbentuk jamak, sehingga tidak sesuai dengan
kata kerja tunggal "was".

Contoh 2:
Engineers________ for work on the new space program.
(A) necessary
(B) are needed
(C) hopefully
(D) next month
Pembahasan Soal dan Jawaban
Dalam contoh ini, bahwa kalimat di atas, Engineers sebagai subject, namun tidak ditemukan kata
kerja (verb). Karenanya, jawaban (B) merupakan jawaban paling tepat. Karena "are needed"
adalah kata kerja. Sedangkan, jawaban (A), (C), dan (D) bukanlah verb, sehingga bukanlah
jawaban yang benar.
Contoh 3:
Fitzgerald_______ the society of the 1920's in his novel, The Great Gatsby.
(A) reflect
(B) reflects
(C) are reflecting
(D) have reflected
Pembahasan Soal dan Jawaban
Fitzgerald merupakan subjek orang ketiga tunggal. Maka, kata kerja yang mengikutinya juga
harus dalam bentuk tunggal. Karenanya, jawaban yang tepat ialah (B).

TOEFL dan Contoh Soal Test Pilihan


Untuk menguji kompetensi bahasa Inggris yang Anda miliki ada beragam cara. Salah satunya
dengan mengikuti tes seperti TOEFL, TOEIC, dan IELTS. Sebelum mengikuti tes ini biasanya
dibutuhkan latihan khusus pengerjaan tes agar Anda dapat memperoleh hasil yang maksimal,
setiap lembaga memberikan latihan cara cepat belajar bahasa Inggris mengerjakan tes tersebut
dalam beberapa tahap.
Pada artikel kali ini, kami akan membantu Anda untuk memahami soal dalam tes TOEFL.
Berikut adalah salah satu soal dalam tes TOEFL dan tips penyelesaiannya:
Contoh Soal TOEFL
Di bawah ini adalah contoh soal yang mengharuskan Anda untuk mengisi titik-titik yang masih
kosong.
received law degrees as today.

Never so many women have


Never have so many women
The women arent ever
Women who have never
CARA PENYELESAIAN:

received law degrees as today.

Mari kita coba strategi umum untuk mendapatkan jawaban yang benar
Pilihan 1 dan 2 terlihat menyerupai, untuk itu kita dapat menyingkirkan pilihan ini dan melihat
pilihan lainnya terlebih dahulu.

Untuk pilihan 3, kita dapat melihat bentuk kata kerja pada kalimat ini tidaklah benar:
The women arent ever received law degrees as today.
Bentuk tata bahasa yang salah pada kalimat ini adalah penggunaan kata the women, sebagai
subyek dari kalimat ini dikatakan bahwa wanita tidak pernah menerima gelar hukum.
Berdasarkan pengetahuan umum kalimat ini tentu saja tidak benar.

Selanjutnya adalah pilihan 4 yang mengatakan:


Women who have never received law degrees as today
Cara Penyelesaian Soal Test TOEFL
Ini bukanlah kalimat yang lengkap. Kita hanya memiliki Subyek (yaitu women) + klausa yang
dimulai dengan kata who (yang menjelaskan subyek). Untuk itu, kita dapat mengatakan kalau
pilihan ini salah.
Sekarang kita dapat kembali ke pilihan 1 dan 2:
Never so many women have received law degrees as today
Never have so many women received law degrees as today
Pada kalimat Present Perfect dengan menggunakan never urutan yang benar adalah sebagai
berikut:
SUBJECT + HAS/HAVE + NEVER + VERB IN PAST PARTICIPLE FORM
(untuk kata kerja receive, bentuknya berubah menjadi received).

Jika melihat urutan ini maka kita tidak dapat menemukan jawaban yang tepat. Tapi, untuk
menekankan sesuatu maka kata never dapat ditempatkan di awal kalimat. Dengan begitu
urutannya akan menjadi:
NEVER + HAS/HAVE + SUBJECT + VERB IN PAST PARTICIPLE FORM
Berdasarkan urutan ini maka kita berhasil menemukan jawaban yang tepat, yaitu pilihan ke dua:
Never have so many women received law degrees as today.

Questions 1 through 10 are based on the following passage.


Lichens, of which more than twenty thousand
species have been named, are complex associations
between certain algae. The lichen itself is not
an organism: rather it is the morphological and biochemical
product of the association. Neither a fungus
nor an alga alone can produce lichen.
The intimate relationship between these two
living components of lichen was once erroneously
though to represent mutualism. In mutual relationships,
both participants benefit. With lichens, however,
it appears the fungus actually parasitizes the algae.
This is one of the conclusions drawn from experiments
in which the two components of lichens were separated
and grown apart.
In nature, lichen fungi may encounter and
grow around saveral kinds of algae. Some types of
algae the fungi may kill; other types it may reject.
Lichen algae are autotrophic, meaning they make their
own food through photosynthesis. Lichen fungi are
heterotrophic, meaning they depend upon the algae
within the lichen to supply their food. Up to ninety
percent of than food made by the green alga cell is
transferred to the fungus. What, if anything, the fungus
contributes to the association is not well understood.
Lichens are hardly. The grow in many habitats
and are often pioneers in hostile environments
where few other organisms can flourish.

They have been known to grow


endolithically, having been discovered thriving inside
of rocks in Antartica. Lichen help reduce erosion by
stabilizing soil. Saveral kinds of insects glue lichens to
their exoskeletons for camouflage.
Many species of birds use lichens as building
materials for nests. Human have used lichens for
dyes and antibiotics.

Question 11 through 20 are based on the following passage.
When buying a house, you must be sure to
have it checked for termites. A termite is much like an
ant in its communal habits, although physically the
two insects are distinct.
Like those ants, termite colonies consist of
different classes, each with its own particular job. The
most perfectly formed termites, both male and
female, make up the productive class. They have eyes,
hard body walls and fully developed wings. A pair of
reproductive termites founds the colony. When new
reproductive termites develop, they leave to form
another colony. They use their wings only this on time
and then break them off.
The worker termites are small, blind and
wingless, with soft bodies. They make up the majority
of the colony and do all the work. Soldiers are
eyeless and wingless but are larger than the workers
and have hard heads and strong jaws and legs. They
defend the colony and are cared for by the workers.
The male and female of the reproductive
class remain inside a closed-in cell when the female
lays thousands of eggs. The workers place the eggs
in cell and care for them. Even if one colony is treated
with poison, if a male and female of the reproductive

class escape, they can form a new colony.


Pest control companies can inspect a house
for infestation of termites. Often, of lay person can not
spot the evidence, so it is critical to have the opinion
of a proffesional. Treatments vary depending upon
the type of termite.
