Soal UTBK kelas 12 ke 3

The term ‘primitive art’ has been used in a variety of ways to describe works and styles of art. One way that this term has been used is to describe the early period within the development of a certain style of art. Another way is to describe artists who have received little professional training and who demonstrate a non-traditional naivete in their work. A wonderful example of this second type of primitive artist is Grandma Moses, who spent all her life living on a farm and working at tasks normally associated with farm life. She did not begin painting until she reached the age of seventy-six, when she switched to painting from embroidery because the arthritis in her hands made embroidery to difficult. Totally without formal education art, she began creating panoramic images of everyday life on the farm that have achieved international fame.

Which of the following does NOT show the characteristic of ‘primitive art’?

• The artist did not have formal education

• It shows a particular naivete

• The artist might not follow traditions

• It does not have a professional touch

• The artist started producing works at old age.

development of a certain style of art.

Another way is to describe artists who have

received little professional training and

who demonstrate a non-traditional naivete

in their work.”

Scientists have discovered the bones of what may be the largest meat-eating dinosaur ever to walk the earth. The discovery was made by a team of researchers from Argentina and North America in Patagonia, a desert on the eastern slopes of the Andes in South America. Besides the interesting fact that the dinosaur was huge and horrifying, it is even more astounding that the bones of a number of the dinosaurs were found together. This discovery challenges the prior theory that the biggest meat eaters live as loners and instead indicates that they may have lived and hunted in packs. The Tyrannosaurus Rex live in North America and was believed to hunt and live alone.

The newly discovered meat-eater appears to be related to the Giganotosaurus family, being as closely related to it as a fox would be to a dog. It is actually not of the same family at all as the Tyrannosaurus Rex. being as different from it as a cat is from a dog.

The fossilized remains indicate that the animals lived about 100 million years ago. With needle- shaped noses and razor sharp teeth, they were larger than the Tyrannosaurus Rex, although their legs were slightly shorter and their jaws were designed to be better able to cut the body of their prey into pieces quickly and precisely.

The main information of the text is about …

• the discovery made Patagonia

• the research on dinosaurs

• the bones of dinosaurs

• the types of dinosaurs

• the meat-eating dinosaur

Nutrition message can be very confusing. One minute you’re advised to eat plenty of fruit and vegetables to get your essential vitamins and minerals and next, you’re told that too many vitamins might actually be harmful. But wait! If you take vitamin supplements, you should be aware that very high intakes of some vitamins could be potentially harmful. If you eat a healthy, balanced diet, then there is no need for you to take supplements. Here are some of the effects that excessive intakes of some vitamins can have : too much vitamin A can cause nausea headaches, blurred vision, and orange skin color and possibly even liver damage. Over consumption of vitamin D can lead to loss of appetite, weakness and excessive thirst and the other fat-soluble vitamins E and K can interfere with some blood clotting medications. We all know how good vitamin C can be for us but did you know that too much of it can form kidney stones? High levels of vitamin B6 can also cause nerve damage.

Which of the following is the best thing for our health?

• To eat fruit and vegetables only.

• Not to consume any supplement.

• To have a diet balanced in nutrition.

• Not to take vitamins at all.

• To take a daily, high dosage of vitamin C.

Answer explanation

To have a diet balanced in nutrition.

tertentu karena nutrisi yang diterima
