2. Uraian Materi 2 Consider the overall meaning of a sentence to determine a missing vocabulary item. Understanding the general idea of a sentence can help you determine the missing vocabulary item. In fact, it is a good idea to ignore, or even cover up, the choices at first so that you can focus on the meaning of the whole sentences. Consider the following example: Example: The firm ..Mr Morrison as its accountant after it was learned that he had not been mishandling funds. (A) (B) (C) (D) reinstated distracted determined reprimanded
The last part of this sentence indicates that Mr Morrison had not done anything wrong. Ask yourself, What would a firm be likely to do in this situation? Only choice (A), reinstated, provides a meaningful answer. Mr Morrison was reinstated, or returned to his position.
Apply your knowledge of prefixes, word stems, and suffixes to select the best vocabulary item. Prefix: a letter or group of letters at the beginning of a word. Stem: the main part of a word Suffix: a letter or group of letters at the end of a word. Use your knowledge of the different parts of words to choose the correct answer. For example, if you know that the prefix pre- means before, and that re- means again, you can determine the meaning of words like prearrange, preseason, and preflight, as well as reappear, reattach, and reinstall. If you know that the stem view means see, then you can understand that preview means see before and review means view again. Here are examples of common prefixes, stems, and suffixes and their meanings or uses. Prefixes antiautobiagaints self two

Suffixes -er -ful -less -ly -ness -ion a person who does something full of without forms an adverb from an adjective forms a noun from an adjective forms a noun from a verb
Examples: biographer reflection monolingual dormitory laboratory laborer - a person who writes a story of a life - light bent back - speaking one language - a place to sleep - a place to work - a person who works
Note: Breaking apart a word into prefix and stem can help you guess the meaning of many words. Some words, however, may seem to have prefixes but really do not. For example, in the words precious, premier,
10 of 29
and pressure, pre- is not a prefix meaning before but is part of the stem of the word. Look for word parts, but be aware that a word might not always contain a prefix or suffix. Note that some words are often used together in set expressions. Certain combinations of words typycally occur in English. For example, the verb make can be used with an appointment, a date, or a mistake, while the verb do is frequently used with a job, homework, or an errand. For example, I made a mistake when I was doing my homework. Keep in mind that an Incomplete Sentence questions may be assessing your knowledge of English language usage. Consider the following examples: Example 1 Mr Dupre has asked me to send his .regards to you and your staff. (A) warm (B) firm (C) close (D) good The word regards is usually used with the words warm or best. While close and good might seem to make sense, they are not used to modify regards. Example 2 He has .a great deal of time on this project. (A) passed (B) spent (C) cost (D) paid The word time can be used with passed or spent, but the meaning of the two expressions are different. To pass time means to let the time go by while you are relaxing or waiting. This would not make sense in the above sentence. To spend a lot of time on something means that you use the time for a special purpose. 3. Rangkuman 2 Memahami konteks kalimat secara utuh akan membantu kita menentukan pilihan jawaban atas pilihan kata yang tepat. Di samping itu, pengetahuan akan imbuhan (awalan dan akhiran), dan akar kata juga akan sangat membantu memahami arti kata, dan yang pada gilirannya akan membantu menentukan pilihan jawaban.
