Text for question 13 to15.

Dear, Rosa
I am a guy, twenty-eight years old. I have a problem with a girl
friend. She is twenty five years old. We have been dating each
other for years, since we were high school students. Now we
have jobs. I feel very sure that we love each other. Now it is
time for me to get married. Unfortunately, her parents never
approve of our relationship ever since the very first time. My
family, anyhow, does not really mind. At first I thought my girl
friend had the power to defend our love. But then she
surrendered. She loves, me and she loves her family, too. On
the one hand she said, "I'll be happy if my family is happy." It
means she had to get approval from her parents.
For this I was shocked. My heart was broken. She ended our
relationship just at the time when I was ready to marry her.
When I was with her, we were very happy. We had a lot in
common and there were no conflicts. The truth was, we
separated only because of her parents. They want her to marry
her cousin, her aunt's son (this is one of the traditions in the
Karonese).
For the time being I am very upset. When I miss her I call her.
Then we can eat together, talk together for hours. We act like
elating because she loves me, too. The real problem is, she
cannot refuse what her parents want. So, should I forget my
girl friend, the only one that I truly love? Or else, should I just
wait, and dream that one day she will be back to me?
Rio N., Padang

tidak mungkin jawabannya adalah a dan b karena

dibersihkan.sehingga harus bentuk pasif, antara c
dan d. melihat soalnya menggunakan bentuk past
(was), maka jawabannya pasti past tense juga.
