Pembahasan:

Soal menanyakan sikap penulis terhadap teks tersebut.

Sikap penulis dalam sebuah wacana dinyatakan dengan kata sifat, seperti yang terlihat pada pilihan-pilihan yang tersedia. Supaya dapat menentukan kata sifat yang tepat, pembaca perlu memperhatikan hal-hal seperti pilihan kata, jenis kalimat (kalimat fakta atau opini), asumsi, kesimpulan, dan keberpihakan penulis baik yang tersurat maupun tersirat dalam tulisannya.

Teks bacaan menunjukan bahwa topik pembicaraan penulis adalah peristiwa gempa bumi. Di paragraf pertama, penulis memberikan definisi serta menjelaskan proses terjadinya gempa bumi. Di paragraf selanjutnya, penulis berbicara tentang bidang keilmuan seismologi serta terobosan yang dicapainya.

Dalam kedua paragraf tersebut, penulis secara konsisten memakai kalimat-kalimat yang bersifat faktual. Selain itu, tidak ada kalimat, frasa, atau kata yang memperlihatkan reaksi pribadi penulis terhadap topik yang dibicarakannya. Dari lima pilihan kata sifat yang tersedia, kata informative adalah kata yang paling tepat menggambarkan sikap penulis.

3. The question is based on the following passage.

TikTok is often applauded for its recommendation system; once it’s finely tuned, the app becomes one of the best scrolling experiences. My personal theory is that’s why TikTok is so addicting—everything is so perfectly curated to your specific interests, it’s hard to put the phone down once you’re sucked in. However, TikTok’s recommendation algorithm still has its own flaws that the company brings up in its new blog post.

“One of the inherent challenges with recommendation engines is that they can inadvertently limit user experience–what is sometimes referred to as a ‘filter bubble’,” the post reads. It states that by optimizing for personalization and relevance, there is a risk of presenting an increasingly homogenous stream of videos.

Another issue that TikTok takes seriously is not surfacing dangerous content. This is an issue that YouTube in particular has faced criticism over for many years. According to TikTok, content that has graphic material like medical procedures or “legal consumption of regulated goods,” like alcohol, may not be eligible for recommendation because it could come across as “shocking if surfaced as a recommended video to a general audience”. That’s why many creators on TikTok will upload a video more than once or talk openly about feeling shadow banned over particular content.

The writer of the passage intends to ...

A. illustrate TikTok users' concerns about the app's recommendation system

B. oppose the idea that TikTok has a sophisticated recommendation system

C. warn the readers about TikTok’s poor recommendation system
