Thomas Matulessy, also known as Kapitan Pattimura or Ahmad Lussy or simply Pattimura, was an Ambonese soldier and National Hero of Indonesia.

Pattimura was born on 8 June 1783 in Saparua, Maluku; the name Pattimura was his pseudonym. His parents were Frans Matulessia and Fransina Tilahoi, and he had a little brother named Yohanis.

Pattimura joined the British army after they took the Maluku islands from the Dutch colonials. When the islands were returned to the Dutch in 1816, he was dismissed.

Concerned that the Dutch would implement programs that limited his people, Pattimura led an armed rebellion that captured Fort Duurstede on 16 May 1817.  

Killing the inhabitants of the fortress and fighting off Dutch reinforcements, on 29 May he was declared the leader of the Maluku people.

Due to betrayal from Booi's king, Pati Akoon, and Tuanakotta, Pattimura was arrested on 11 November 1817.

He and his fellows were sentenced to death. On 16 December 1817, Pattimura together with Anthony Reebok, Philip Latumahina, and Said Perintah were hanged in front of Fort Nieuw Victoria in Ambon.

Jawaban = B. Had Pattimura not been betrayed, the Dutch would have lost the war.

Pembahasan = Soal di atas meminta kita untuk memprediksi kemungkinan yang terjadi, artinya kita harus dapat menyimpulkan kejadiannya sendiri.

Pilihan jawaban B sangat tepat. Apabila tidak dikhianati, maka Belanda akan kalah perang. Prediksi ini sejlaan dengan pernyataan bahwa Bleanda kewalahan dalam mengalahkan Pattimura.

Pernyataan tersebut tercantum pada kalimat, “Concerned that the Dutch would implement programs that limited his people, Pattimura led an armed rebellion…... Killing the inhabitants of the fortress and fighting off Dutch reinforcements, on 29 May he was declared the leader of the Maluku people.”

Opsi A dan E tidak tepat karena merupakan kesimpulan, bukanlah prediksi. Pilihan C pun juga salah karena informasi tersebut tidak terdapat pada teks.

Sementara opsi D menyebutkan bahwa gelar kepemimpinan diberikan pada Raja Booi, padahal ia bukanlah pejuang yang melawan Belanda, justru bekerja sama dengan Belanda untuk menangkap Pattimura.

Nah Adjarian, itulah pembahasan soal UTBK bahasa Inggris tipe memahami informasi spesifik pada teks, ya!
