TS-MH8J0OK1 Reguler UTBK/SNBT 6 Literasi dalam Bahasa Inggris 2024/2025 1. The question is basedon the following passage. A handful of videos on YouTube and TikTok have gained attention by showing a strange line in the ocean, with dark water on one side andlighter water on the other.These lines often appear where rivers or glaciers feedin the ocean. Some of these videos claim that these lines represent a boundary between the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and use this as "evidence" that the two oceans do not mix. But is this true? Do the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans not mix, or do they? The answer is they do, the Pacific andAtlantic Oceans do mix.However, the process is not as simple as the two bodies of water just blending together. The waters of the two oceans have different densities, temperature and salinities, which means they do not mix easily, especially in the upper layers of the ocean, where the differences are most pronounced. At the surface, the Pacific Ocean is typically warmer and less salty than t Atlantic Ocean. These differences in temperature and salinity create a barrier that prevents the waters fr mixing easily. There are places where the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans mix. One such area is the Drake Passage, a narrow strait that separates Antarctica from South America. The strong currents in the Drake Passage help mix the waters of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, creating a body of water known as the circumpolar current. Another notable location is the Strait of Magellan, a natural passage at the southern tip of South America, where the waters of the two oceans meet andmix due to tidal andwind-driven currents. Contrary to the claims in some social media posts, the distinct lines seen in videos often result fr differences in salinity, temperature, or sediment content, not a permanent boundary between the Pacific a Atlantic Oceans. These lines are more commonly observed where freshwater from rivers or melting glaciers meets saltwater. For example, in the Gulf of Mexico, the Mississippi River carries sediment-laden freshwater into the saltier Gulf water. This difference in salinity and density creates visible layers that eventually mix, b not abruptly. This demonstrates the complex nature of oceanic mixing while reaffirming that the Pacific a Atlantic Oceans are interconnectedanddo mix. What is the writer’s intention in writing the text a.To promote the idea that the Pacific andAtlantic Oceans never mix b.To refute the claim that the Pacific andAtlantic Oceans do not mix c.To explain the science behindthe appearance of the line between different ocean wate d.To debunk misleading claims in social media videos regarding ocean water characteristics e.To explore the differences in temperature, salinity, anddensity between the Pacific andAtlantic Ocean Pembahasan Soal ini bertanya tentang tujuan penulis dalam menulis teks. Untuk mengetahuinya, kita harus memahami isi teks terlebih dahulu. Penulis mengawali teks membahas video-video di YouTube dan TikTok yang memperlihatkan adanya sebuah garis aneh di laut yang memisahkan dua warna air yang berbeda: air yang lebih gelap di satu sisi dan air yang lebih terang di sisi lainnya. Video-video tersebut sering kali mengklaim bahwa garis ini merupakan batas antara Samudra Pasifik dan Samudra Atlantik, dan bahwa kedua samudra ini tidak bercampur. Penulis kemudian mengoreksi klaim tersebut dengan memberikan penjelasan ilmiah yang benar di paragraf 2-3.
Di paragraf 2, penulis menjelaskan bahwa Samudra Pasifik dan Samudra Atlantik memang bercampur, meskipun memang proses bercampurnya tidak cepat atau tiba-tiba karena ada perbedaan suhu, salinitas, dan kepadatan air antara kedua samudra ini. Di paragraf 3, penulis memberikan contoh lokasi perairan dimana air dari Samudra Pasifik dan Samudra Atlantik bercampur, yaitu Selat Drake. Arus laut yang kuat membantu percampuran air kedua samudra tersebut. Di paragraf 4, penulis kembali menegaskan bahwa air di laut Atlantik dan Pasifik bercampur. Dengan demikian, tujuan penulisan teks adalah untuk B, mengklarifikasi kesalahpahaman yang muncul dari video-video di media sosial yang salah mengklaim bahwa Samudra Pasifik dan Atlantik tidak bercampur. Jadi, pilihan jawaban yang paling tepat adalah B. 2. The question is basedon the following passage. A handful of videos on YouTube and TikTok have gained attention by showing a strange line in the ocean, with dark water on one side andlighter water on the other.These lines often appear where rivers or glaciers feedin the ocean. Some of these videos claim that these lines represent a boundary between the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and use this as "evidence" that the two oceans do not mix. But is this true?

This demonstrates the complex nature of oceanic mixing while reaffirming that the Pacific a Atlantic Oceans are interconnectedanddo mix. It is impliedin the text that the stronger the oceans’ current is, ... a.the stronger the barrier between the two oceans becomes b.the more distinct the two oceans appear at their boundaries c.the faster the waters of the Pacific andAtlantic Oceans blend d.the more gradual the blending of water properties occurs e.the less the two oceans interact with each other Pembahasan Soal menanyakan kesimpulan tersirat terkait arus air laut Samudra Atlantik dan Pasifik. Informasi mengenai hal ini dapat ditemukan di paragraf 3. Di situ disebutkan bahwa arus air yang kuat, yang menciptakan arus air yang dikenal sebagai circumpolar current, di tempat-tempat seperti Drake Passage membantu mencampur air dari Samudra Pasifik dan Atlantik. Demikian pula di Strait of Magellan, dimana air dari Samudra Atlantik dan Pasifik bercampur arus air pasang surut dan arus yang disebabkan oleh angin. Informasi ini menyiratkan bahwa semakin kuat arus air lautnya, maka semakin cepat percampuran air Samudra Atlantik dan Pasifik.
Jadi, pilihan jawaban yang paling tepat adalah C. 3. The question is basedon the following passage. A handful of videos on YouTube and TikTok have gained attention by showing a strange line in the ocean, with dark water on one side andlighter water on the other.These lines often appear where rivers or glaciers feedin the ocean. Some of these videos claim that these lines represent a boundary between the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and use this as "evidence" that the two oceans do not mix. But is this true?

This demonstrates the complex nature of oceanic mixing while reaffirming that the Pacific a Atlantic Oceans are interconnectedanddo mix. The phrase such area in the thirdparagraph refers to .... a.The Gulf of Mexico b.The Drake Passage c.Place where oceans mix d.Region where Pacific andAtlantic Ocean mix e.Narrow strait separating Antarctica from South America Pembahasan Soal ini meminta kita untuk menentukan apa yang dimaksud dengan frasa such area yang terdapat pada paragraf ketiga teks. Frasa tersebut terdapat pada kalimat “One such area is the Drake Passage... (salah satu tempat yang demikian adalah Selat Drake). “Tempat yang demikian” pasti sudah disebutkan pada kalimat sebelumnya, yaitu there are places where the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans do mix (ada tempat di mana Samudra Pasifik dan Atlantik bercampur). Jadi, “tempat yang demikian” maksudnya adalah tempat di mana air Samudra Pasifik dan Atlantik bercampur. Jika digunakan untuk menggantikan such area, kalimatnya akan menjadi one region where Pacific and Atlantic Ocean mix is the Drake Passage (salah satu daerah dimana Samudra Pasifik dan Atlantik bercampur adalah Selat Drake).Kalimatnya logis dan konteksnya tepat.Pilihan D tepat. Jadi, pilihan jawaban yang paling tepat adalah D. 4. The question is basedon the following passage. A handful of videos on YouTube and TikTok have gained attention by showing a strange line in the ocean, with dark water on one side andlighter water on the other.These lines often appear where rivers or glaciers feedin the ocean. Some of these videos claim that these lines represent a boundary between the Pacific Ocean and the
Atlantic Ocean, and use this as "evidence" that the two oceans do not mix. But is this true? Do the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans not mix, or do they? The answer is they do, the Pacific andAtlantic Oceans do mix.However, the process is not as simple as the two bodies of water just blending together. The waters of the two oceans have different densities, temperature and salinities, which means they do not mix easily, especially in the upper layers of the ocean, where the differences are most pronounced.

This difference in salinity and density creates visible layers that eventually mix, b not abruptly. This demonstrates the complex nature of oceanic mixing while reaffirming that the Pacific a Atlantic Oceans are interconnectedanddo mix. From the text, we can infer that videos on YouTube andTikTok .... a.are a popular source of entertainment andmisinformation b.provide accurate andwell-researchedcontent c.are a reliable source of scientific information d.always offer misleading informati e. can spreadmisinformation Pembahasan Soal ini meminta kita untuk menarik kesimpulan tersirat tentang video-video di YouTube dan TikTok berdasarkan teks yang diberikan. Pilihan jawaban mencakup beberapa pendapat tentang keakuratan video- video tersebut, dan kita diminta untuk memilih yang paling tepat berdasarkan informasi dalam teks. Informasi mengenai video-video tersebut dapat ditemukan di paragraf 1. Di situ dijelaskan bahwa beberapa video di YouTube dan TikTok yang menunjukkan adanya garis di laut yang memisahkan air dengan warna yang lebih jernih dan gelap.Meskipun fenomena tersebut benar, video-video tersebut memberikan klaim yang salah, yaitu bahwa Samudra Pasifik dan Atlantik tidak bercampur. Pada paragraf 2-4, penulis meluruskan kesalahpahaman tersebut dengan memberikan penjelasan ilmiah terkait munculnya garis tersebut. Dari penjelasan tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa video-video di TikTok atau YouTube bisa menjadi sumber informasi yang keliru tentang sesuatu. Jadi, pilihan jawaban yang paling tepat adalah E. 5. The question is basedon the following passage. A handful of videos on YouTube and TikTok have gained attention by showing a strange line in the ocean, with dark water on one side andlighter water on the other.These lines often appear where rivers or glaciers feedin the ocean.
