Correct Answer
A. Relocated
Explanation
The underlined word "move" indicates a change in location. The closest word in meaning to "move" is "relocated," which means to move or establish in a new place. "Transferred" also means to move from one place to another, but it is commonly used when referring to the movement of people or things from one organization or position to another.

Read the text carefully ! The Victoria Falls is a waterfall located in southern Africa on the Zambezi River between the countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe.It is claimed to be the largest. This claim is based on a width of 1,708 metres (5,604 ft) and height of 108 metres (354 ft), forming the largest sheet of falling water in the world. For a considerable distance upstream from the falls, the Zambezi flows over a level sheet of basalt, in a shallow valley bounded by low and distant sandstone hills. The river's course is dotted with numerous tree-covered islands, which increase in number as the river approaches the falls. There are no mountains, escarpments, or deep valleys which might be expected to create a waterfall, only flat plateau extending hundreds of kilometres in all directions. The falls are formed as the full width of the river plummets in a single vertical drop into a transverse chasm 1708 metres (5604 ft) wide, carved by its waters along a fracture zone in the basalt plateau. The depth of the chasm, called the First Gorge, varies from 80 metres (260 ft) at its western end to 108 metres (354 ft) in the centre. What is the main idea of the second paragraph ?

Read the text carefully ! Green, or common, iguanas are among the largest lizards in the Americas, averaging around 6.5 feet (2 meters) long and weighing about 11 pounds (5 kilograms).They are also among the most popular reptile pets in the United States, despite being quite difficult to care for properly. In fact, most captive iguanas die within the first year, and many are either turned loose by their owners or given to reptile rescue groups. The green iguana’s extensive range comprises the rain forests of northern Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean Islands, and southern Brazil. They spend most of their lives in the canopy, descending only infrequently to mate, lay eggs, or change trees. Primarily herbivores, iguanas are active during the day, feeding on leaves, flowers, and fruit. They generally live near water and are excellent swimmers. If threatened, they will leap from a branch, often from great heights, and escape with a splash to the water below. They are also tough enough to land on solid ground from as high as 40 feet (12 meters) and survive. Iguanas' stout build gives them a clumsy look, but they are fast and agile on land. They have strong jaws with razor-sharp teeth and sharp tails, which make up half their body length and can be used as whips to drive off predators. They can also detach their tails if caught and will grow another without permanent damage.What is the main idea of the third paragraph ?

Read the text carefully !THE STORY FROM ROTI ISLAND Once upon a time, a grandmother and her granddaughter lived in Roti Island, Nusa Tenggara Timur. They had a field and grew some vegetables. The grandmother sold them at the market. One morning, the grandmother would go to the market. Before she left, she asked her granddaughter to cook. “Please cook some rice for lunch. But just cook one grain of rice. It’s enough for both of us.” “Why, Grandma ?” asked the girl. “Just do what I said.” The grandmother then left for the market. Later, the girl started to cook. However, she felt a grain of rice would not be enough for them. So, she took two handfuls of rice. Suddenly, something bad happened to the rice pot. “Oh, no! The rice flowed out of the pot !” shouted the girl. “What should I do?” The rice became rice porridge. It flowed and flowed until it covered the kitchen. Suddenly, the grandmother came home. The girl explained what happened. “You are a naughty girl ! Why didn’t you listen to me?” the grandmother was so angry. She hit the girl with a wooden stick. Then the little girl cried and cried. But the grandmother kept hitting her. Then, an incredible thing happened! The girl turned into a monkey. The monkey then ran away and climbed a tree. The grandmother chased the monkey, but it disappeared. The grandmother was very sad. She regretted what she has done to her beloved granddaughter. “ Please come back to me. Please forgive me, my granddaughter!” grandma said. But it was too late. The little girl has turned into a monkey and never came home. The people of Roti Island believe this story. And that is why until now; people in the Roti Island never hit their children or other people’s child. They are afraid that the child would turn into a monkey. Why was the grandmother so angry to her granddaughter ?
Correct Answer
C. Because the girl cooked two handfuls of grain.
Explanation
The grandmother was angry with her granddaughter because the girl didn't follow her instructions and cooked two handfuls of grain instead of just one grain. This caused the rice pot to overflow and create a mess in the kitchen. The grandmother's anger and frustration led her to hit the girl with a wooden stick, which ultimately resulted in the girl turning into a monkey and running away.

There are no mountains, escarpments, or deep valleys which might be expected to create a waterfall, only flat plateau extending hundreds of kilometres in all directions. The falls are formed as the full width of the river plummets in a single vertical drop into a transverse chasm 1708 metres (5604 ft) wide, carved by its waters along a fracture zone in the basalt plateau. The depth of the chasm, called the First Gorge, varies from 80 metres (260 ft) at its western end to 108 metres (354 ft) in the centre. How wide is the Victoria fall ?
Correct Answer
C. 1708 metres

The text states that the falls are formed as the full width of the river plummets in a single vertical drop into a transverse chasm 1708 meters (5604 ft) wide.
