Pembahasan Soal TOEFL

1. Jawaban (B) began.

Kalimat tersebut terdiri dari dua clause:
1. Amanda Way's career as a social reformer____ in 1851 when
2. she called for a state woman's rights convention.
Anda bisa lihat bahwa clause pertama kehilangan verb (kata kerja) olehnya yang harus kita cari
yaitu verb yang bisa mengisi clause tersebut. Jawaban A salah. Clause ke dua menggunakan kata
kerja bentuk past (called) jadi begin yang berbentuk present tidak paralel dengan clause ke dua
tersebut. Kalimat harus paralel. Jawaban C berbentu past perfect. Ingat past perfect tak akan
menggunakan kata keterangan waktu yang pasti seperti pada kalimat ini. Kata keterangan waktu
yang pasti pada klaimat ini yaitu in 1851. Jawaban D lebih jelas tak sesuai.

2. Jawaban (A) a small upright piano.

Kalimat ini membutuhkan objek dari kata kerja resemble = mirip.

3. Jawaban (C) an eloquent writer.

Di antara ke dua koma stelah subject itu membutuhkan appositive yang menjelaskan terkait
identitas subject Thomas Paine.

4. Jawaban (B) as long as.

as long as = and.

5. Jawaban (B) and.

dua kata kerja begins dan ends. jadi dibutuhkan kata penghubung and untuk menghubungkannya.

6. Jawaban (C) hydrocarbon molecules break up.

Kata its membutuhkan Noun (phrase) setelahnya. Phrase hydrocarbon molecules sesuai dengan
persyaratan in, sementara kata break up menjadi verb dari its hydrocarbon molecules.
7. kunci jawaban (C) All.
Jika menggunakan jawaban A maka seharusya all of the ballet dancers. Jawaban D salah. Kata
every harus bertemu noun singular sementara dancers berbentuk jamak.

8. Jawaban (A) creeping colonies.

Kata kerja form membutuhkan object.

9. Jawaban yang benar yaitu (D) winning five of them.

Hanya saja saya kurang yakin bagaimana cara menjelaskannya. Kalau saya lihat-lihat bentuk ini
masuk di reduction (adverb clause). Jadi winning five of them itu merupakan phrase yang
direduksi (hasil reduction) dari adverb clause. Hanya saja yang saya lihat di buku referensi saya
-Betty semua contoh Phrase hasil reduction dari adverb clause posisinya di depan kalimat. Jadi
itulah mengapa saya kurang yakin dengan penjelasan terkait soal ini. Menurut saya inilah soal
TOEFL. Kalau kita perhatikan di buku-buku akademik tingkat advanced banyak kalimat yg
menurut kita agak aneh.

10. Jawaban yang sesuai adalah (D) that directs.

Jawaban soal ini terkait penggunaan adjective clause yang menjelaskan kata the process.

11. Jawaban yang benar yaitu (C) Extending.

Pelajari tentang reduction dalam adverb clause.
Extending 363 miles between the cities of Albany and Buffalo in New York State. merupkan
hasil reduction dari the Eric Canal extends 363 miles between the cities of Albany and Buffalo in
New York State.

12. Jawaban yang tepat ialah (B) that is not.

Ada dua clause:
1. The chief sources of B12 include meat, milk and eggs.
2. a water-soluble vitamin ____ stored in the body.
Clause ke dua menjelaskan subejct dari clause pertama. Clause ke dua tersebut membutuhkan
verb.

13. Jawaban yang benar yaitu (B) The history of twentieth-century architecture.
Kalimat ini membutuhkas subject.

14. Jawaban yang benar yaitu (C) water vapor condenses.

Sudah jelas

15. Jawaban (D) engaging.

Mirip dengan bentuk soal no. 9
Jenis soal test TOEFL di bawah ini merupakan soal tes TOEFL ITP yang umum diselenggarakan
di Indonesia. Tes TOEFL teridiri dari tiga sesi: listening comprehension, structure and written
expression, dan reading comprehension.

Untuk sesi listening comprhension, Anda akan menemui 50 nomor soal. Ke 50 soal itu dibagi
dalam 3 part, yang dikenal sebagai part A yang terdiri dari 30 conversation pendek antar 2 orang.
Setiap conversation diikuti 1 pertanyaan. Jadi ada 30 pertanyaan dalam listening part A.
Listening part B terdiri dari 2 conversation panjang. Setiap conversation diikuti 4 pertanyaan.
Jadi, ada 8 soal di sesi ke dua ini. Untuk sesi terakhir, listening part C terdiri dari 3 talk
(semacam perkuliahan dengan speaker monolog). Lihat di sini untuk Contoh Tes Listening
TOEFL Beserta Audio MP3 Kunci Jawaban.

Sesi structure and written expression terdiri dari 40 soal. 40 soal itu terbagi dalam dua bagian.
Nomor 1-15 merupakan sesi structure dan 16-40 masuk kategori sesi written expression. Anda
mempunyai waktu 25 menit untuk mengerjakan soal pada sesi ini.

Sesi terakhir yang Anda akan temui pada tes TOEFL ITP yaitu sesi reading comprehension. Pada
sesi terakhir ini, Anda harus menjawab 50 soal reading dalam waktu 55 menit.

1. The gray scale, a progressive series of shades ranging from black to white, is used in computer
graphics ---- detail to graphical images.
(A) added
(B) to add
(C) are added
(D) and add
Kunci & Pembahasan:
Kunci jawaban: B
The gray scale, a progressive series of shades ranging from black to white, is used in computer
graphics ---- detail to graphical images.
"a progressive series of shades ranging from black to white" merupakan appositive yang
menambahkan informasi untuk subject "the gray scale". Untuk memudahkan menganalisa soal,
appositive ini dihilangkan saja.

The gray scale is used in computer graphics ---- detail to graphical images.
Analisis soal:
The gray scale = subject
is used = verb
Subject dan Verb sudah lengkap jadi kita tidak butuh lagi subject atau verb. Yang kita cari ialah
pelengkap kalimat yang tidak terdapat subject atau verb.
Pilihan C dan D sudah jelas salah karena masing-masing terdapat verb. Untuk pilihan A, added
bisa jadi verb II (Past Form) atau sebagai adjective (Past Participle) yang menjelaskan noun
sebelumnya; jika sebagai Verb II sudah jelas pilihan ini salah karena kita tidak butuh verb. Jika
dia sebagai adjective yang menejelaskan graphic maka added seharusnya ditambahkan to
menjadi "graphics added to ...."
Pilihan paling tepat ialah pilihan B = the gray scale is used to add ....
2. By ---- excluding competition from an industry, governments have often created public service
monopolies.
(A) they adopt laws
(B) laws are adopted
(C) adopting laws
(D) having laws adopt
Kunci & Pembahasan:
3. .... skeleton of an insect is on the outside of its body.
(A) Its
(B) That the
(C) There is a
(D) The
Kunci & Pembahasan:
Kunci jawaban: D
is = verb
skeleton = subject (belum lengkap)
Yang kita butuhkan ialah yang bisa melengkapi subject "skeleton".
Pilihan C sudah pasti salah karena terdapat verb (kita tidak butuh verb lagi).
Pilihan B salah karena terdapat conjunction "That". Jika terdapat 1 conj. maka kalimat terdiri
dari 2 clause. Kalimat di atas cuma terdiri dari 1 clause (ditandakan cuma 1 verb "is").
Pilihan A salah karena "its" menandakan kepemilikan sementara "of" juga menandakan
kepemilikan.
Pilihan paling tepat ialah pilihan D.
4. Lenses ---- are used to correct imperfections in eyesight.
(A) are the forms of glasses and contact lenses
(B) in the form of glasses and contact lenses
(C) glasses and contact lenses which form
(D) glasses and contact lenses may be formed
Kunci & Pembahasan:
Kunci jawaban: B
are used = verb
Lenses = subject
Jadi, yg kita butuhkan ialah pelengkap (TIDAK terdapat Subject atau Verb).
Pilihan A salah terdapat verb "are".
Pilihan C salah terdapat conjunction "which" and verb "form"
Pilihan D terdapat verb "may be formed"
Pilihan yg tepat ialah pilihan B.
"in the form of glasses and contact lenses" ialah pelengkap prepositional phrase.
5. In eighteenth-century North America, printed engravings provided ---- of rococo style.
(A) the most manifestation widespread
(B) manifestation widespread the most
(C) the widespread manifestation most
(D) the most widespread manifestation
Kunci & Pembahasan:
Kunci Jawaban: D
Soal ini masuk dalam kategori "Word Order" atau susunan kata.
Perhatikan:
the + most (most selalu setelah the)
Adjective + Noun = Noun phrase.
Urutan yg lengkap = Adverb + Adjective + Noun

Dari pilihan jawaban kita ketahui:

the most = adverb
manifestation = noun
widespread = adjective
Jadi, urutan kata yang tepat ialah "the most widespread manifestation".
6. In the Arctic tundra, ice fog may form under clear skies in winter, ---- coastal fogs or low
status clouds are common in summer.
(A) because of
(B) whereas
(C) despite
(D) that
Kunci & Pembahasan:
Kunci jawaban: B
Terdapat dua clause
Clause 1:
Subject = ice fog
Verb = may form

Clause 2:
Subject = coastal fogs or low status clouds
Verb = are

Untuk menghubungkan dua clause kita butuh 1 conjunction.

Pilihan A salah karena "because of" bukan conjunction tapi preposition.
Pilihan C salah karena "despite" bukan conjunction tapi preposition.
Pilihan D salah karena "that" merupakan conjunction yang digunakan jika clause 2 menjelaskan
noun sebelumnya sementara dalam soal clause dua "coastal fogs or low status clouds are
common in summer" tidaklah menjelaskan noun "winter". Selain itu "in winter" menandakan
waktu. Ini berarti mesti menggunakan conj. "when" jika clause 2 memang menjelaskan "in
winter".
Jadi pilihan paling tepat ialah B. Clause 2 masuk dalam kategori adverb clause.

Ingat!
Jika conj. penanda adverb clause berada di depan kalimat, ke dua klausa dipisahkan oleh tanda
koma (,). Jika letak conj. sebagai penanda adverb clause di tengah kalimat maka tidak ada koma
pemisah.
Pengecualian!
Terkhusus untuk kata "while" dan "whereas" yang bermakna "contrast" maka koma selalu
digunakan.
7. On attaining maximum size, ---- by drawing itself out and dividing into two daughter
amoebas, each receiving identical nuclear materials.
(A) the reproduction of the amoeba
(B) the amoeba, which reproduces
(C) reproducing the amoeba
(D) the amoeba reproduces
Kunci & Pembahasan:
Kunci jawaban: D
On attaining maximum size, ---- by drawing itself out and dividing into two daughter amoebas,
each receiving identical nuclear materials.
Perhatikan
"On attaining maximum size" = prepositional phrase (keterangan tambahan) --> hilangkan saja.
"by drawing itself out and dividing into two daughter amoebas" = prepositional phrase
(keterangan tambahan) --> hilangkan saja.
"each receiving identical nuclear materials" = adjective yang menjelaskan noun sebelumnya
"amoebas" --> hilangkan saja.

Kalimat dalam bahasa Inggris mesti terdiri dari Subject & Verb. Dari analisi soal di atas kita
ketahui bahwa tidak terdapat subject atau verb. Olehnya, di pilihan jawaban kita membutuhkan
Subject & Verb.
Pilihan yang mempunyai subject dan verb ialah pilihan D.
"the amoeba" = subject
"reproduces" = verb
8. For the advertiser, one of the greatest appeals of radio is ---- an audience all day long.
(A) that it has
(B) that to have
(C) to have it
(D) having it
Kunci & Pembahasan:
Kunci jawaban: A
Soal ini terkati noun clause yg letaknya sebagai complement (pelengkap) setelah be (is).
Bentuk lain (pola sederhana):
You are what you read.
Ingat 2 clause butuh 1 conjunction.
9. Charles Schulz’s comic strip, “Peanuts,” features children who make --- about life.
(A) funny, wise statements that
(B) which funny, wise statements
(C) statements are funny but wise
(D) funny but wise statements
Kunci & Pembahasan:
Kunci jawaban: D
Terdapat dua clause + 1 conjunction:
Clause 1 (main): Charles Schulz’s comic strip features children
Clause 2 (adjective clause) = who make

Dapat kita lihat bahwa ke dua-dua klausa di atas sudah lengkap Subject dan Verb nya + 1
conjuntion. Olehnya kita TIDAK butuh lagi subject atau verb JUGA conjunction.

Pilihan A salah karena terdapat conj. "that".

Pilihan B salah karena terdapat conj. "which".
Piliha C salah karena terdapat verb "are."
10. One of the major rivers of the western United States, ---- flows for some 1,500 miles from
Colorado to northwestern Mexico.
(A) it is the Colorado River
(B) the Colorado River which
(C) and the Colorado River
(D) the Colorado River
Kunci & Pembahasan:
Kunci jawaban: D
Perhatikan:
My friend, Ali, is kind.
Ali, my friend is kind.
Analisa:
Subject = My friend.
Verb = is.
Ali = appositive (keterangan tambahan).

Pola contoh ini sama dengan pola soal di atas:

One of the major rivers of the western United States = appositive
flows = verb
Jadi, yg kita butuhkan ialah subject kalimat.
Dari pilihan jawaban, hanya pilihan D yang memenuhi syarat sebagai subject.
11. In art, the tendency of gouache colors to lighten on drying makes ---- a wide range of pearly
or pastel-like effects.
(A) it is possible
(B) possible
(C) possible to be

13. Outbreaks of diseases in trees commonly occur ---- stressed because of drought or other
environmental factors.
(A) as forests that become
(B) in forests become
(C) that become forests
(D) when forests become
Kunci & Pembahasan:
Kunci jawaban: D
Analisis soal:
Subject: Outbreaks
Verb: occur
Dengan melihat secara cepat (scan) pilihan jawaban, bisa kita identifikasi bahwa soal ini terdiri
dari dua clause. Ingat dua clause membutuhkan 1 conjunction.
Jadi, yang dibutuhkan untuk melengkapi kalimat di atas menjadi dua clause ialah "Conj. +
Subject + Verb".
Dari pilihan jawaban yang paling tepat ialah pilihan D.
when = conj.
forests = subject
become = verb
Clause ini masuk dalam kategori adverb clause.
14. To break thick ice, an icebreaker boat moves fast enough to ride up on the ice, ---- under its
weight.
(A) so then breaks
(B) when breaks it
(C) which then breaks
(D) for which then breaks
Kunci & Pembahasan:
Kunci jawaban: C
Analisis soal:
Subject: an icebreaker boat
Verb: moves
Dengan melihat secara cepat (scan) pilihan jawaban, bisa kita identifikasi bahwa soal ini terdiri
dari dua clause. Ingat dua clause membutuhkan 1 conjunction.
Jadi, yang dibutuhkan untuk melengkapi kalimat di atas menjadi dua clause ialah "Conj. +
Subject + Verb".
Berbeda dg soal no. 13 yang membutuhkan adverb clause, soal 14 ini membutuhkan adjective
clause.
Cara mengetahuinya ialah dengan melihat tanda koma (the ice, ...). Ingat jika adverb clause maka
tidak ada koma jika conj. terletak di tengah kalimat.
Jadi, dapat kita identifikasi bahwa clause di atas ialah adjective clause yang menjelaskan noun
"the ice".
Ingat!
2 pola adjective clause:
1. Noun, Conj. + Subject + Verb (ketika noun sebagai object pada clause ke dua)
2. Noun, Conj/Subject + Verb (ketika noun sebagai subject pada clause ke dua)
Dairi soal di atas dapat diuraikan kalimat lengkapnya.
Clause 1: An icebreaker boat moves fast enough to ride up on the ice
Clause 2: The ice breaks under its weight. (the ice sebagai subject)
Ketika digabungkan (dengan menggunakan adjective clause), maka hasilnya
An icebreaker boat moves fast enough to ride up on the ice, which breaks under its weight.
Karena noun yang dijelaskan berposisi sebagai subject, pola yang digunakan ialah pola ke 2
(Noun, Conj/Subject + Verb)
Pilihan jawaban yg sesuai ialah pilihan (C) which then breaks.
15. Cholesterol is present in large quantities in the nervous system, where ---- compound of
myelin.
(A) it a
(B) a
(C) being a
(D) it is a
Kunci & Pembahasan:
Kunci jawaban: D
Ingat 1 conj. menghubungkan dua clause.
Di soal di atas kita lihat terdapat conj. "where". Olehnya dapat kita ketahui bahwa soal di atas
terdiri dari dua clause.
Clause 1: Cholesterol is present in large quantities in the nervous system,
Clause 2: where .... compound of myelin.
Clause yang ke dua belum lengkap. Clause ke dua nampak kehilangan subject dan verb. Dari
pilihan jawaban hanya pilihan D yang mempunya verb.
Jadi pilihan paling sesuai ialah pilihan D.

Clause 2 di atas masuk dalam kategori adjective clause.

"where it is compound of myelin" sebgai adjective clause yg menjelaskan "the nervous system".
16. Painters of the early twentieth century who were known primarily for they colorful
landscapes, the Group of Seven changed is name to the Canadian Group of Painters in 1933.

20. Free radicals of oxygen, which common by-products of metabolic processes in the body,
are capable of causing tissue damage.
Kunci & Pembahasan:
Kunci jawaban: which common --> which are common
"which common by-products of metabolic processes in the body" merupakan adjective clause yg
menjelaskan noun sebelumnya "free radicals".
Ingat dalam adjective clause mesti ada conj., subject dan verb. Kita lihat bahwa adjective clause
dalam soal di atas kehilangan verb. Olehnya "which common" seharusnya menjad "which are
common".

23. Coral formations have known as fringing reefs are located close to shore, separated from land
only by shallow water.
Kunci & Pembahasan:
Kunci jawaban: have known --> that have been known
Analisis soal
Subject: Coral formations
Verb (utama) = are located
Subject dan verb utama sudah lengkap olehnya "have known" seharusnya bentuk adjective
clause yang menjelaskan "coral formations".
Keganjilan yang lain, jika "known" berbentuk active maka seharusnya polanya "known + object
(tanpa preposition "as").
Preposition "as" menandakan bahwa known seharusnya berbentuk passive --> "been known".
24. For a seagoing, cargo-carrying sailing vessels, the clipper ship was remarkably fast.
Kunci & Pembahasan:
Kunci jawaban: vessels --> vessel
"a seagoing, cargo-carrying sailing vessels" merupakan appositive / keterangan tambahan
terhadap noun "the clipper ship". Perhatikan yang dijelaskan ialah ship (cuma 1 ship) jadi vessels
(jamak) seharusnya vessel (tunggal).
Selanjutnya: terdapat article "a" pada phrase "a seagoing, cargo-carrying sailing vessels" yang
menandakan "vessels" seharusnya "vessel".
25. Visibly only through large telescopes, Pluto has a yellowish color, which indicates that there

menjelaskan noun ialah adjective bukan adverb.
Jadi, visibly (adverb) seharusnya menjadi visible (adjective)
