Pembahasan:

Terjemahan soal dan pertanyaannya adalah:

Gabungkan klausa tersebut dengan kata penghubung yang benar.

Berikut terjemahan pilihan jawabannya:

  • She forgot to water them but Becky's flowers died. - Dia lupa menyiraminya tetapi bunga-bunga Becky mati.
  • Becky's flowers died so she forgot to water them. - Bunga-bunga Becky mati jadi dia lupa menyiraminya.
  • Becky's flowers died as she forgot to water them. - Bunga-bunga Becky mati karena dia lupa menyiraminya.
  • She forgot to water them because Becky's flowers died. - Dia lupa menyiramnya karena bunga Becky mati.
  • Becky's flowers died hence she forgot to water them. - Bunga Becky mati sehingga dia lupa menyiraminya.

Pada soal terdapat dua klausa yang harus digabungkan dengan kata penghubung (conjunction) yang benar. Perlu diketahui bahwa dua klausa tersebut mempunyai hubungan sebab akibat (cause - effect). Kita lihat terlebih dahulu mana cause dan effect dari klausa pada soal.

  • Clause 1 -> She forgot to water them (dia lupa menyiraminya) -> cause
  • Clause 2 -> Becky's flowers died (bunga-bunga Becky mati) -> effect

Maka susunannya akan menjadi cause - conjunction - effect. Conjunction untuk susunan ini adalah:

  • because
  • since
  • as
  • for

Jika digabungkan kalimatnya akan menjadi: Becky's flowers died as she forgot to water them.

Clause 1 tidak bisa terletak di depan karena ada kata them (kata ganti sebuah objek), harus ada objek yang mendahului sebagai acuan.

Maka jawaban yang benar adalah "Becky's flowers died as she forgot to water them."
