Kunci Jawaban Soal SNBT: Literasi Bahasa Inggris 2

C. Text 3 Paragraph 4 and Text 4 Paragraph 4

D. Text 3 Paragraph 3 and Text 4 Paragraph 1

E. Text 3 Paragraph 2 and Text 4 Paragraph 3

Jawaban:

C. Text 3 Paragraph 4 and Text 4 Paragraph 4

Pembahasan:

· Opsi A: Teks 3 Paragraf 1 menyebutkan perbedaan proses (penggabungan vs pembelahan) dan limbah, namun Teks 4 Paragraf 1 lebih fokus pada penjelasan fisik proses fusi dan risiko pelelehan (meltdown) secara umum tanpa perbandingan mendalam di paragraf tersebut.

· Opsi B: Teks 3 Paragraf 2 dan Teks 4 Paragraf 2 berfokus pada aspek teknis operasional reaktor, seperti penggunaan magnet (magnetic confinement), desain tokamak, dan gelombang radio frekuensi tinggi.

· Opsi C: Teks 3 Paragraf 4 memberikan konteks keberlanjutan masa depan, dan Teks 4 Paragraf 4 memberikan perbandingan keamanan paling eksplisit antara fusi dan fisi, termasuk risiko kecelakaan dan masalah limbah jangka panjang.

· Opsi D: Teks 3 Paragraf 3 membahas sumber bahan bakar (isotop dari air laut), dan Teks 4 Paragraf 1 membahas mekanisme dasar penggabungan inti atom.

· Opsi E: Teks 3 Paragraf 2 membahas desain teknis reaktor, dan Teks 4 Paragraf 3 membahas stabilitas pasokan bahan bakar yang tidak bergantung pada cuaca.

Berdasarkan analisis tersebut, pasangan paragraf yang paling tepat memberikan informasi mengenai perbandingan keamanan fusi terhadap fisi adalah paragraf penutup dari kedua teks tersebut, di mana aspek manfaat dan keamanan jangka panjang dirangkum.

In the labs of sustainable startups, scientists are cultivating a new material that looks and feels like leather but is grown from fungi. Known as 'mycelium leather,' this bio-fabricated material uses the root structure of mushrooms as its base. Unlike traditional leather, it requires no livestock and uses significantly less water. ”Working with living organisms allows us to grow products to specific shapes,” said a lead researcher. For many designers, mycelium is a revolutionary answer to the ethical and environmental costs of the fashion industry. ”It is a symbiotic relationship between design and biology that yields zero waste.”

The decision to shift to mycelium initially came from a matter of urgency regarding carbon footprints, but it has now become a standard for luxury brands. ”We spent decades refining synthetic leather, but it was just plastic,” the designer noted. ”When we embraced mycelium, we found a material that breathes and ages like the real thing.” They discovered that fungal structures were far more durable than expected. ”I had never seen a material that could be so strong yet entirely biodegradable in a backyard compost.”
