                           A                        B                                   C         D

know>knows
1. Nobody know when the process of glass-making was invented.
Alasan: Nobody adalah subject singular, maka kita harus menggunakan ketentuan/agreement
dengan verb singular juga [verb 1+s/es].

2. ( B ) Sugars like glucose is made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.

                        A                B      C      D

is>are
2. Sugars like glucose is made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.
Alasan: subject dalam kalimat ini adalah “sugars” sehingga plural, sedangkan “glucose” hanya
salah satu di antaranya. Maka, to be/aux. verb yang tepat adalah “are”.

3. ( C ) Part of the electricity used in the United States today come from hydroelectric

                                               A                                       B       C
sources.
    D

come>comes
3. Part of the electricity used in the United States today come from hydroelectric sources.
Alasan: subject dalam kalimat ini adalah “electricity“, maka verbnya menjadi “comes” agar
sesuai dengan subject-verb agreement. Abaikan “part” karena verb wajib mengikuti noun
setelahnya dan preposition “of”

4. ( B ) The languages of the world presents a vast array of structural similiarities and

                                                A                     B                                C
differences.

presents>present
4. The languages of the world presents a vast array of structural similiarities and differences.
Alasan: subject dalam kalimat ini adalah “the languages” yang plural, maka verb yang tepat
adalah “present” yang plural juga.

5. ( A ) The rise of multinationals have resulted in a great deal of legal ambiguity because

                                                       A       B
multinationals can operate in so many jurisdictions.
                           C     D

have>has
5. The rise of multinationals have resulted in a great deal of legal ambiguity because
multinationals can operate in so many jurisdictions.
Alasan: Kita lihat ada dua verb “have resulted” dan “can operate”. Lalu, lihat subjectnya. “Have
resulted” adalah verb untuk plural, sementara subjectnya singular “the rise“, maka aux. verb
“have” harus diganti menjadi “has”

6. ( A ) All of the east-west interstate highways in the United States has even numbers, while
                                                                                                              A             B
north-south interstate highways are odd-numbered.
                                                     C         D
has>have
6. All of the east-west interstate highways in the United States has even numbers, while north-
south interstate highways are odd-numbered.
Alasan: Pada pilihan jawaban, aux. verb “has” adalah yang paling tidak sesuai dengan struktur
kalimat karena harusnya aux. verb yang digunakan adalah untuk subject plural “highways“.
Maka, “has” perlu diubah menjadi “has” agar kalimat menjadi benar.

7. ( C ) When a massive star in the large Magellanic Cloud exploded in 1987, a wave of
              A                                                                                   B
neutrinos were detected on Earth.
                    C        D

were>was
7. When a massive star in the large Magellanic Cloud exploded in 1987, a wave of neutrinos
were detected on Earth.
Alasan: subject “a wave” adalah singular, maka aux. verb “were” tidak tepat. Aux. verv yang
digunakan harusnya “was”.

8. ( A ) Some of the agricultural practices used today is responsible for fostering

                                            A        B              C                               D
desertification.

is>are
8. Some of the agricultural practices used today is responsible for fostering desertification.
Alasan: subject dalam kalimat ini adalah “practices“, artinya subjectnya plural dan harus
memiliki verb plural. Verb di sini berupa aux. verb/to be “is“, maka harus diganti menjadi “are“.

9. ( A ) Every open space in the targeted area that has grass and a few bushes are occupied by

                                          A                       B                                        C         D
the white-crowned sparrow.

are>is
9. Every open space in the targeted area that has grass and a few bushes are occupied by the
white-crowned sparrow.
Alasan: ada dua verb dalam kalimat ini, aux. verb “has” dan “are”. Kita lihat apakah keduanya
sudah tepat atau belum. Lihat subject “every” dan “area”. Subject “every” dipasangkan dengan
“are” dan subject “area” dipasangkan dengan “has”. Jelas sekali ada kesalahan pada aux. verb
“are” untuk subject “every”, maka kita perlu ganti menjadi “is”.

10. ( A ) Krakatoa is remembered as the volcano that put so much ash into the air that sunsets
                            A                                          B
around the world was affected for two years afterward.
                                     C                                     D

was affected>were affected

10. Krakatoa is remembered as the volcano that put so much ash into the air that sunsets around
the world was affected for two years afterward.
Alasan: Ada 3 klausa dalam kalimat ini; berarti ada 3 pasangan subject-verb. Pertama, subject
“krakatoa” dan verb “is remembered”. Kedua, subject “that” dan verb “put”. Ketiga, subject
“sunsets” dan verb “was affected”. Dari ketiga pasangan itu, yang tidak tepat adalah “sunsets”
dan “was affected”. “Sunsets” adalah bentuk plural, sedangkan “was” untuk singular. “Was”
harus diganti “were”.
