Question number 16 to 17 are based on the following text. (Discussion Text)

Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to built up new cells
and replace the worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be changed into
substances that can be carried in the blood to the places where they are needed. This process
is called digestion.

The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into small
pieces by the action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the mouth.
Saliva contains digestive juice which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily.

From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the stomach.
Here, the food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours.
Then the food enters the small intestine. All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are
squeezing, mixing and moving the food onwards.
In a few hours, the food changes into acids. These are soon absorbed by the villi
(microscopic branch projections from the intestine walls) and passed into the bloodstream.

16. How can we swallow the food easily?

A. The food changes into acids absorbed by the villi.
B. The food must be digested first through the process.
C. The food is directly swallowed through esophagus into the stomach.
D. The food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach.
E. The food we take must be changed into substances carried in the blood to the places.

17. From the text above, we imply that ….

A. a good process of digestive system will help our body becoming healthier.
B. no one concerned with the process of digestive system for their health.
C. the digestive system is needed if we are eating the food instantly.
D. every body must conduct the processes of digestive system well.
E. the better we digest the food we eat, the healthier we will be.

Questions 20 are based on the following text (Purpose of the Component)

One might think that hikers, seeking beauty and solitude in the wilderness, prefer to camp at
previously untouched sites. However, researchers have discovered that small amounts of
impact are often considered more acceptable than no impact at all. In one study, small fire
rings were rated more acceptable than no fire rings. This may be because hikers, respecting
that beauty, try to do as little damage as possible, and so would rather reuse an existing site
than establish a new one. Or, perhaps tired hikers appreciate that existing “impacts” make it
easier and quicker to set up cooking and sleeping areas.

20. The author discusses fire rings primarily to …

A. explain why hikers prefer slightly used, rather than untouched, sites for camping

C. present one criterion by which hikers judge the quality of a campsite

rings

Council, I started the trainning for about four months. There were also several other students
from other schools who passed the test.

The jamboree was held in Bumi Perkemahan Cibubur, in August,2021. My Friends,

scoutmasters and i went there a week before the jamboree started. The scoutmasters said that
it was necessary to adapt to the environment. There were several other patrols that came from
other regencies. They had come several days before us.

The participants came from almost all regencies in indonesia. There, we met and knew
people from other regencies or provinces in Indonesia. There was an activity to present the
culture of each regency. This activity was like a parade. We learned many cultures and felt in
love with Indonesia even more.

The theme of the jamboree was ‘ Gembira, Keren, Asyik’. That was perfectly reflected on the
