D. Langkah pertama dalam Directions berbunyi ”Shake up the detergent and put it 15–20 cm away from the LCD screen.”. Jadi, hal pertama yang harus dilakukan terhadap deterjen adalah mengocok deterjen tersebut (shake the detergent up). 12. C. Cara menyemprotkan deterjen ada dua macam, yaitu ”Spray on the LCD screen surface directly.” serta ”Spray the detergent on the fabric cleanser.”. Jadi, sebelum membersihkan permukaan layar, kita menyemprotkan deterjen secara langsung pada permukaan layar atau pada kain pembersih (fabric cleanser). 13. A.

Susunan kata yang tepat adalah 4–7–2–6–5–8–1–3, yaitu membentuk kalimat ”Let me make a birthday cake for you”, yang artinya ”Izinkan saya membuat kue ulang tahun untukmu”. 17. A. Bagian ingredients menjelaskan bahan-bahan yang diperlukan untuk bumbu-bumbu isian (dressing) maupun salad buahnya (fruit salad).
