Direction : Read the following text carefully, then answer the questions by crossing A,B,C, D or E for the best answer.
Once upon a time, in a small village near the coast of Sumatra, there lived a poor widow with her only son, Malin Kundang. They lived a simple life, depending on fishing and farming for their daily needs. Despite their poverty, Malin’s mother loved him dearly and worked hard to provide for him.
As Malin grew older, he became a strong and ambitious young man. One day, he decided to leave the village to seek a better life in the city. “Mother, I want to go and find success. When I return, I will bring wealth for us,” he promised. Although reluctant, his mother gave him her blessings and prayed for his safety.
Years passed, but Malin never returned. His mother missed him dearly and often prayed for his wellbeing. Unknown to her, Malin had become a wealthy merchant. He married a beautiful woman of high status and lived in luxury. However, he was ashamed of his humble beginnings and never spoke of his mother.
One day, Malin’s ship docked at his hometown. Hearing the news, his mother rushed to the harbor, filled with excitement and hope. When she saw Malin, she called out to him, “Malin, my son! It’s me, your mother!”
But Malin was embarrassed by her ragged appearance. In front of his wife and crew, he denied her. “I don’t know this old woman,” he said coldly. His mother’s heart broke into pieces. She begged him to acknowledge her, but Malin humiliated her instead.
Feeling betrayed, his mother prayed to God in despair, “Oh Lord, if he truly is my son but refuses to acknowledge me, let him face Your punishment.” Suddenly, the sky darkened, and a fierce storm struck. Malin’s luxurious ship was wrecked by the powerful waves.
In an instant, Malin was turned into stone as punishment for his arrogance and disrespect. Today, the stone remains on the coast, resembling a man kneeling in repentance. It serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting and loving one’s parents.

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there was a young prince who lived in a beautiful castle. Despite his wealth and power, the prince was selfish and unkind. One cold winter’s night, an old beggar woman came to the castle seeking shelter and offered a single rose in exchange. Disgusted by her appearance, the prince turned her away. Suddenly, the old woman transformed into a beautiful enchantress. Realizing his cold heart, she cast a spell on him, turning him into a monstrous beast. The castle and its servants were also cursed. The enchantress left the prince with a magical rose, warning him that the curse would only be broken if he learned to love and earned love in return before the last petal fell.
Years passed, and the Beast lived in despair, believing no one could ever love him. In a nearby village, a kind and intelligent girl named Belle lived with her father, Maurice. Belle loved reading and dreamed of adventure, but the villagers found her strange. One day, Maurice lost his way in the forest and stumbled upon the Beast’s castle. The Beast imprisoned him for trespassing.
When Belle discovered her father was missing, she set out to find him. She arrived at the castle and begged the Beast to let her father go. In an act of bravery, Belle offered to take her father’s place. The Beast agreed, and Maurice was set free.
At first, Belle was frightened by the Beast’s appearance and temper, but over time, she began to see his kindness hidden beneath the surface. The enchanted servants, including Lumière the candelabra, Cogsworth the clock, and Mrs. Potts the teapot, encouraged the Beast to open his heart. Slowly, Belle and the Beast formed a bond, sharing laughter, stories, and even a magical dance in the grand ballroom.
Meanwhile, back in the village, a boastful hunter named Gaston became obsessed with Belle and vowed to marry her. When he learned of the Beast, he rallied the villagers, convincing them to attack the castle. They stormed the Beast’s home, and a fierce battle ensued.
During the fight, Gaston mortally wounded the Beast but fell to his own doom. Belle rushed to the Beast’s side as the last petal of the magical rose began to fall. Heartbroken, Belle confessed her love for him. At that moment, the curse was lifted. The Beast transformed back into a handsome prince, and the castle was restored to its former glory.

Long ago, in a quiet village in North Sumatra, there lived a poor farmer named Toba. He spent his days working in the fields and fishing in the nearby river. One day, while fishing, Toba caught a large, shiny fish. To his surprise, the fish spoke to him, begging for its life. “Please let me go,” said the fish, “and I will reward you.”
Astonished but kind-hearted, Toba released the fish. Suddenly, the fish transformed into a beautiful woman. She told Toba she was a spirit from the underwater world and offered to marry him, on one condition: he must never reveal her true identity to anyone. Toba agreed, and they married.
The couple lived happily and soon had a son named Samosir. However, Samosir was a mischievous and lazy boy who often angered his father. One day, after an argument, Toba lost his temper and shouted, “You are the son of a fish!” The moment Toba said those words, dark clouds gathered, and heavy rain began to pour.
Toba’s wife, heartbroken by his broken promise, told him to flee to the hills with their son. As the rain continued, the valley filled with water, creating a vast lake. The woman disappeared into the water, and Toba was never seen again. The lake was named Lake Toba, and the island in the center was called Samosir, after their son.
Today, Lake Toba is a stunning destination surrounded by green hills and mountains. The lake’s beauty and the story behind its creation have made it a symbol of Indonesia’s natural and cultural richness.

Elephant
The elephant is the largest land animal in the world and one of the most fascinating creatures on Earth. These majestic mammals are known for their intelligence, strength, and unique physical features. Elephants can be found in both Africa and Asia, living in habitats such as grasslands, forests, and savannas.
An elephant’s body is enormous, with males weighing up to 6,000 kilograms. They have thick, gray skin that protects them from harsh weather and predators. Their long trunks, a combination of the nose and upper lip, are highly versatile. Elephants use their trunks for breathing, smelling, eating, drinking, and even expressing emotions. Additionally, their large ears help regulate body temperature, while their ivory tusks, found in some elephants, are used for digging, lifting objects, and self-defense
Elephants are herbivores, feeding on grasses, leaves, fruits, and bark. Due to their massive size, they consume up to 150 kilograms of food and drink about 50 liters of water daily. They play a vital role in their ecosystems by shaping landscapes and spreading seeds.
Social animals by nature, elephants live in herds led by a matriarch, usually the oldest and wisest female. They communicate through various sounds, gestures, and even vibrations. Their strong emotional bonds are evident when they care for sick or injured members and mourn their dead.
Unfortunately, elephants face significant threats from habitat destruction and illegal poaching. Efforts are being made worldwide to protect these magnificent creatures and ensure their survival for future generations. Elephants remind us of the beauty of nature and the importance of preserving it.
