- A. **Discussion text -- a balanced two-sided essay that presents an issue, then arguments *for* and arguments *against* with supporting evidence, and finally a conclusion that weighs both sides; characterised by general nouns, conjunctions of contrast (*however, on the other hand, conversely*), modal auxiliaries, and present tense** ✓ Jawaban benar

Concept: Discussion vs Argumentative/Hortatory: discussion **wajib** menyajikan kedua sisi (for AND against), argumentative dan hortatory hanya satu sisi. Steps: (1) Identify the text type, genre, or language feature being asked about (2) Recall the definition, structure, or key characteristics of that text type (3) Match your recall against the given options and select the most accurate one Correct answer: A -- BSE 'Life Today' Kelas XII Unit 4 'Carbon Footprints' menargetkan **discussion text** sebagai genre output utama. Discussion text adalah **balanced two-sided exposition** -- berbeda dari hortatory (one-sided action-call) maupun argumentative (one-sided position-defence). Why other options are wrong: - B: Incorrect genre identification -- this option (Hortatory exposition -- a persuasive essay that en...) does not match the text evidence. - C: Misidentifies the structural element -- this option (Argumentative exposition -- a one-sided persuasive...) does not match the text evidence. - D: Incorrectly identifies the language feature -- this option (Narrative text -- a story of a person whose life c...) does not match the text evidence. - E: Misinterprets the word or phrase meaning -- this option (Procedure text -- sequential instructions on how t...) does not match the text evidence. Tip: Discussion vs Argumentative/Hortatory: discussion **wajib** menyajikan kedua sisi (for AND against), argumentative dan hortatory hanya satu sisi. Kalau soal minta 'balanced two-sided', selalu discussion. Cue word: *however, on the other hand, conversely, nevertheless, in contrast* = signal discussion.
