Anyway, today I will share pembahasan soal untuk persiapan UNBK SMK. Soalnya saya ambil dari simulasi UNBK yang dilaksanakan tanggal 1 Februari 2018. Check them out!

Welcome Cell is a leading cellular telecomunication operator, based in Indonesia. Established in 1993, the company provides GSM cellular services nationally through its own nationwide dual band network and internationally through 341 international roaming partners in 180 countries. The total number of customer in 2010 was 107.02 million, consisting of 2.19 million post paid and 104.83 million prepaid customers. Respectively at the end of 2010, the company had approximately 43% of shares in the total wireless market. The company offers 2 pre-paid cards (SIMPATIK and Joker card) and the post-paid HOLLA card service. 

Question 1.
What can we conclude about Welcome Cell?
A. It's old
B. It's small
C. It's modern
D. It's popular.

Tips: Baca soal dulu. Lihat pilihan jawaban. Cocokkan pilihan jawaban dengan teks yang ada. 
Eliminasi jawaban satu per satu. Jika meragukan, biarkan dulu.
Hilangkan option B karena tidak sesuai dengan teks. Melihat sekup Welcome Cell yang international, dan juga kata "leading" pada kalimat pertama, sudah pasti perusahaan itu tidak "small".
Hilangkan option C karena tidak ada penyebutan kata "modern" maupun sinonimnya.
Jika dilihat dari option yang tersisa, popular lebih tepat karena tersirat dari number of customer dan negara yang disebutkan juga banyak. Usianya yang mendekati 20 tahun sepertinya belum bisa dijadikan patokan bahwa itu perusahaan tua atau "old" 

Question 2
When did the company have 43% of shares in the total wireless market?
A. 1993
B. 1994
C. 2010
D. 2011

Sudah dicetak tebal ya, kenapa jawabannya jadi C. Inget WHEN artinya KAPAN dan simply cari tulisan di pertanyaan itu di teksnya.  

Question 3
How does Welcome Cell provide GSM cellular service internationally?
A. Through its product
B. Through its customers
C. Through its nationwide
D. Through its roaming partners

Sudah digarisbawahi ya, kenapa jawabannya D. Sudah jelas di teks. How itu artinya bagaimana.

Kota Tua has some interesting places, such as Jakarta History Museum, Wayang Museum, Fine Art and Ceramic Museum.

Question 1
Paragraph one mainly discusses...
A. interesting spots of Jakarta Dreamland Park
B. history of Indonesian heroes for freedom in Batavia
C. violence during the Dutch occupation period in Indonesia
D. visitors to Jakarta Dreamland Park during school holidays

Untuk soal semacam "mainly discuss", utamakan baca kalimat pertamanya. Jika kalimat pertama tidak mewakili keseluruhan paragraf ya baca semuanya. Wkwkwkwkwk. Tapi kalo liat dari option jawaban sih sudah jelas A ya.

Question 2
According to the text, ...
A. there are some museums in Jakarta Dreamland Park
B. Jakarta Dreamland Park doesn't have a cottage nearby
C. Kota Tua has buildings built during the Dutch Colonial period
D. there are three museums and a big amusement park at Kota Tua

Levi Strauss came to the United States from Bavaria as teenager. After spending several years in New York, he made a journey to California when the gold rush was at its peak. He got the idea to sell tents to the gold miners, but they were not interested. He recycled the brown canvas cloth int sturdy pants which became a great demand in mining camps. Later he began making work pants in the blue cotton fabric imported from France, called "Serge de Nimes", known in America as "Denim".

Along with Jacob Davis, a tailor from Nevada, Strauss patented a pattern of copper rivets to strengthen the stress point on pants, especially the pocket. They first became known as waist overalls, then "Levis". They became so popular that Strauss concentrated most of his effort on the manufacture and sales of the durable work pants.

Yang paling tepat D. Option A dan B itu nggak dibahas. Yang C ada statementnya tapi kurang representatif terhadap keseluruhan paragraf, karena cuma kalimat di tengah - tengah yang berfungsi sebagai penjelas.
