  • 2. 

                        Jane has an excellent resume, she hasn't found a job yet.

    • However

    • Yet

    • That

    • Although

    Correct Answer
    A. Although
    Explanation
    Terdapat dua cluse: clause 1 (Jane has an excellent resume), clause 2 (she hasn't found a job yet). Karena ada dua clause maka kita butuh 1 connector untuk menghubungkan ke dua clause tersebut. Dari pilihan jawaban yang ada, hanya 'yet' dan 'although' yang merupakan connector. Pilihan 'yet' salah karena kata yet ketika menjadi connector berada di tengah clause atau di antara ke dua clause bukan di awal kalimat; yet masuk dalam coordinate connector. Pilihan paling tepat ialah
    although'. Although masuk dalam kategori subordinate connector yang letaknya bisa di antara ke dua clause bisa juga depan kalimat.

                         what is now San Salvador, Christopher Columbus believed that he had found Japan.

    • He reached

    • When did he reach

    • Having reached

    • Whether he reached

    Correct Answer
    A. Having reached
    Explanation
    Yang terlihat di kalimat, terdapat 3 clause dan dua connector (what & that). Clause 1 (what is now San Salvador), clause 2 (Christopher Columbus believed), clause 3 (he had found Japan).
    Ingat prinsip kalimat bahasa Inggris: jika ada dua clause maka butuh 1 connector, 3 clause butuh 2 connector, dan 4 clause butuh 3 connector.
    Pilihan 'He reached' salah karena terdapat 1 clause baru tanpa connector. Jika dimasukkan dalam kalimat maka akan terdapat 4 clause hanya dengan dua connector.
    Pilihan 'When did he reach' salah karena menggunakan helping verb 'did'. Did ketika bersama WH Question (when) hanya digunakan dalam interrogative sentence.
    Pilihan 'Whether he reached' salah karena whether bukanlah subordinate conjunction. Subordinate conjunction ialah conjunction atau connector yang bisa terletak di awal dan di pertengahan kalimat.
