How does the idea in sentence 6 relate to the other ideas in paragraph 2?

The applications, games, and websites that are not promoted as ‘educational’ are not always the best ones for supporting learning. The fact that they are interactive does not necessarily mean that they are much better than an old-fashioned workbook with its right and wrong answers. Children may enjoy these products for a while but then get a bit bored. Thus, they are not the most appropriate or engaging way to learn.

Treat so-called ‘free’ applications with caution. Some will expose your child to advertisements. Others are designed to wait until your child is engaged in a game or storyline and then demand payment before they can go any further. This can lead to frustration as young children do not understand why they cannot continue. Sometimes it is better to make a small payment in advance if the application promises no further purchases. However, some applications are free to download and completely free of advertisements or in-app purchases.

Choosing an app needs the same kind of thought and care you would put into buying anything else for your chil(D) Do not rely only on the star rating. Instead, read the user reviews and check the privacy policy if you are worried about the personal information that the app might be collecting. If you want your child to enjoy learning, develop curiosity, and think about things creatively, provide them with a range of games and apps. Open-ended games have become progressively more challenging and encourage children to explore and have fun. They are, therefore, more likely to establish a love of learning and to lay the foundation for their future development.

Physical activity, reading, and other more ‘traditional’ activities continue to play a very important part in children’s development. But, most parents do rely on screen devices from time to time to engage their child while they are busy with something else. This is not a problem in itself, just as long as children’s time is made up of balanced range of activities.

(B) Sentence 6 is the result of the other ideas in paragraph 2.
(C) Sentence 6 strongly contradicts the other ideas in paragraph 2.
(D) Sentence 6 is the implementation of the theory discussed in paragraph 2.
(E) Sentence 6 provides another type of free applications discussed in paragraph 2.

Jawaban untuk soal ini adalah C. Sentence 6 strongly contradicts the other ideas in paragraph 2.

Soal ini menanyakan hubungan ide dalam kalimat ke-6 dengan isi ide pada kalimat lainnya di paragraf 2.

Untuk menjawab soalnya, perhatikan isi kalimat 1 sampai 5 di paragraf 2 berikut:

“Treat so-called ‘free’ applications with caution. Some will expose your child to advertisements. Others are designed to wait until your child is engaged in a game or storyline and then demand payment before they can go any further. This can lead to frustration as young children do not understand why they cannot continue. Sometimes it is better to make a small payment in advance if the application promises no further purchases.”

Arti:
“Perlakukan aplikasi ‘gratis’ dengan hati-hati. Beberapa aplikasi akan memperlihatkan iklan pada anakmu. Aplikasi lainnya dirancang untuk menunggu hingga anakmu tertarik dengan permainan atau jalan cerita kemudian meminta pembayaran sebelum mereka bisa lanjut lebih jauh. Ini bisa mengarah ke rasa frustasi karena anak-anak tidak mengerti mengapa mereka tidak bisa melanjutkan permainan. Terkadang, lebih baik membayar sedikit di awal jika aplikasi menjanjikan tidak ada lagi pembayaran ke depannya.”

Dilihat dari artinya, kalimat 1 sampai 5 di paragraf 2 berisi ide pokok mengenai aplikasi gratis pada ponsel yang memperlihatkan iklan dan mengadakan pembayaran di dalam aplikasi.

Kemudian, perhatikan isi kalimat 6 di paragraf 2 berikut:

“However, some applications are free to download and completely free of advertisements or in-app purchases.”

Arti:
“Namun, beberapa aplikasi ada yang gratis untuk diunduh dan seluruhnya bebas dari iklan atau pembayaran di dalam aplikasi.

Dilihat dari artinya, kalimat 6 memiliki ide pokok mengenai aplikasi gratis pada ponsel yang benar-benar gratis saat diunduh dan bebas dari iklan atau pembayaran di dalam aplikasi.

Jika ide pokok kalimat 1 sampai 5 dan kalimat 6 dibandingkan, diketahui bahwa ide pada kalimat 6 isinya sangat bertolak belakang dengan ide kalimat lainnya di paragraf 2. Ini sesuai dengan opsi C.

Idenya bertolak belakang karena kalimat 1 sampai 5 menyatakan bahwa aplikasi gratis mengandung iklan dan pembayaran di dalam aplikasi, sedangkan kalimat 6 menyatakan bahwa aplikasi gratis juga ada yang bebas dari dua hal tersebut.

Jadi, jawaban untuk soal ini adalah C. Sentence 6 strongly contradicts the other ideas in paragraph 2.
