Weather is the physical condition of the atmosphere at a particular time. It includes temperature, air pressure and water content. Weather is produced when air moves from place to place. This moving air is known as wind. Winds are caused by warm air rising and cooler air moving to replace it. Warm air is usually less dense than cool air; therefore, it creates low air pressure. Cool air is denser and creates high air pressure. Usually we have fine weather when the air pressure is high, and we will have clouds, rain or snow when air pressure drops. Which of the following is not true according to the text?

Which of the following is not true according to the text?
A. Weather is the physical condition of the atmosphere at a particular time.
B. Weather is fine when the air pressure drops.
C. Cool air creates high air pressure.
D. Warm air is usually less dense than cool air.
E. Weather happens when air moves from place to place.

Jawaban yang benar adalah B. Weather is fine when the air pressure drops.

Soal ini menanyakan pernyataan pilihan jawaban yang tidak sesuai dengan isi teks.

Berikut ini pernyataan pada pilihan jawaban :

– Pernyataan A (Weather is the physical condition of the atmosphere at a particular time) merupakan pernyataan yang benar.

Pernyataan tersebut tertera pada kalimat pertama di paragraf pertama, yaitu “Weather is the physical condition of the atmosphere at a particular time” (Cuaca adalah keadaan fisik atmosfer pada waktu tertentu).

– Pernyataan B (Weather is fine when the air pressure drops/Cuaca cerah ketika tekanan udara turun) merupakan pernyataan yang salah.

Pernyataan tersebut tidak sesuai dengan kalimat terakhir di paragraf kedua, yaitu “Usually we have fine weather when the air pressure is high …” yang artinya “Biasanya cuaca cerah ketika tekanan udara tinggi …”.

– Pernyataan C (Cool air creates high air pressure/Udara sejuk menciptakan tekanan udara yang tinggi) merupakan pernyataan yang benar.

Hal tersebut sesuai dengan kalimat ke-5 di paragraf kedua “Cool air is denser and creates high air pressure” yang artinya “Udara dingin lebih padat dan menciptakan tekanan udara yang tinggi”.

– Pernyataan D (Warm air is usually less dense than cool air/Udara hangat biasanya kurang padat daripada udara dingin) merupakan pernyataan yang benar.

Pernyataan tersebut tertera pada kalimat ke-4 di paragraf kedua, yaitu “Warm air is usually less dense than cool air; therefore, it creates low air pressure” yang artinya “Udara hangat biasanya kurang padat daripada udara dingin; Oleh karena itu, menciptakan tekanan udara rendah.)

– Pernyataan E (Weather happens when air moves from place to place/Cuaca terjadi ketika udara bergerak dari satu tempat ke tempat lain) merupakan pernyataan yang benar.

Hal tersebut sesuai dengan kalimat pertama di paragraf kedua “Weather is produced when air moves from place to place” yang artinya “Cuaca dihasilkan ketika udara bergerak dari satu tempat ke tempat lain”.

Dengan demikian, pernyataan pada pilihan jawaban yang tidak sesuai adalah “B. Weather is fine when the air pressure drops”.
