Question From UN
Question From UN
Dorothy Hodgkin was a British chemist. She was born on May 12, 1910, in Cairo, Egypt. Her
determination to study the structure of penicillin and vitamin brought her the 1964 Nobel Prize for
Chemistry. Her work on critical discoveries of the structure of both penicillin and later insulin led to
significant improvements in health care. Dorothy Hodgkin was the eldest of four sisters whose parents
worked in North Africa and the Middle East as archaeologists. She was sent to England for her
education, therefore she spent much of her childhood away from her parents. But it was her mother
who especially encouraged Hodgkin to pursue her interest in crystals that she first displayed at age 10.
Dorothy Hodgkin studied at a state secondary school in the small town of Suffolk. She fought to
be allowed to study science along with the boys. She succeeded and was later accepted in 1928 to
pursue a degree in chemistry at University of Oxford. She was one of the first scientists who studied the
structure of an organic compound by using X-ray crystallography.
An Australian pathologist, Howard Florey, who shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology on Medicine
with Alexander Fleming and his colleagues at Oxford succeeded in isolating penicillin. He asked Hodgkin
to solve its structure. By l 945 she did her job. Hodgkin's work on penicillin was recognized by the Royal
Society, Britain's premier scientific academy, in 1947. That was only two years after a woman had been
elected for the first time.

Comments:
1. The question from UN reflects the first indikator C1 (remember) Because the question asks
students to mention a place from the text they have read.
2. The question is not depend on the the previous item.
3. The question is clear and already focused on what is being asked.
4. There is nothing subjective in this question because the question has provided the appropriate
options based on the text.
5. The question does not contain a clue, but there is a clue in the text which matches the answer in
the option.
6. There is no grammatical error in this qustion.
7. The spelling of every word is already correct .
8. The options already formatted vertically.
9. The question reflects point D (The stem is in the form of a question; it is started by a capital
letter and ended with a question mark).
10. The question does not contain double negatives.
11. The Options already homogeneous in content and grammar structure. The options are in the
form of phrases and parts of speeches.
12. There is only one correct aswer in the question.
13. The options are the same length.
14. The options are not in the form of numbers.
15. The options don't repeat words or phrases.
16. The option has no relation with the others.
17. The options that act as a distraction make sense.

It can be seen that the questions from the UN and the questions made by the teacher have the same
pattern, namely the C1 (remember) indicator. In the questions from the National Examination, in my
opinion it is good, but in the questions made by the teacher, the options are not too good because they
add each name to one option even though there is no name in the text even though I know the purpose
as distracters to students and in my opinion it doesn't make sense. Overall, based on norm and my
analysis, the two questions above are good.
