The number of damaged roads linking Jakarta with West Java has certainly provoked complaints from locals and road users. Take for an example, the roads in Bekasi and Tangerang, which have been the focus of the media.
The poor condition of these roads not only jeopardizes road safety but also
gives a squalid impression. Moreover, the condition will get worse when it
rains. The roads are transformed into water pools or puddles, which can
easily cause accidents if motorists are not careful.
No wonder if some people question why there are so many damaged roads and
why repairs do not seem to last long. The government should pay special
attention to these problems.
In my opinion, the road should be repaired using the right sort of asphalt,
stones an sand. Repairs should be done carefully so that the roads can be
prevented from constant damage. Otherwise, the repairs would be useless.

Continued progress in advanced technology is not necessary. Already the
technical progress in our world has caused severe pollution in the air and
in the water. Although the technical progress in previous years has been
helpful, recent technology has significantly increased pollution. Another
reason to stop technical progress is that many inventions which were
developed for good causes are now also used for powerful weapons to have
been found have serious side effects. For example, pesticide put inside
particle boards to prevent termites has now be found to be toxic to human
life. Technology does not always bring good effects; for example, computers
do much work faster than man, but then man loses his job to a machine.
Because no man can guarantee that technology will have only good effects and
will be used only for the benefit of man, we should delay the continued
development of technology.

in our world

bad effects for us

anymore
C. Because no one can promise that
technology will be only used for prosperity
D. Because technology will create new
innovation that gives benefit to us
E. Because technical progress helps our
job
Pembahasan :
Alasan mengapa kita harus menunda perkembangan teknologi adalah karena tidak ada seorang pun yang mau menanggung bahwa kemajuan teknologi hanya ditujukan untuk kemakmuran. Hal ini bisa dilihat pada kalimat, “Because no man can guarantee that technology will have only good effects and will be used only for the benefit of man, we should delay the continued development of technology.”
6. “For example, pesticide put inside particle boards to
proscribe termites has now be found to be toxic to human life”
What does the underlined word mean?

B. authorize
C. allow
D. accept
