The passage:
If asked who invented the game of baseball, most
Americans would probably reply that it was their belief that
Abner Doubleday did. They believe this because the story
Line about Doubleday is part of the tradition of baseball.
(5) Doubleday was given credit for this invention early in the
twentieth century when sporting-goods manufacturer
Spaulding inaugurated a commission to research the question
of who invented baseball. In 1908, a report was published by
the commission in which Abner Doubleday, a U.S. Army
(10) officer from Cooperstown, New York, was given credit for the
invention of the game. The National Baseball Hall of Fame
was established in Cooperstown in honor of Doubleday.
Today, most sports historians are in agreement that
Doubleday really did not have much to do with the
(15) development of baseball. Instead, baseball seems to be a close
relative of the English game of rounders and probably has
English rather than American roots.

Pembahasan Soal dan Jawaban
Pertanyaan ini mengenai bagaimana informasi disusun dalam bacaan.
Untuk menjawab pertanyaan ini, perlu memperhatikan gagasan utama (main
idea) setiap tiga paragraph itu. Gagasan utama dari paragraph pertama
ditemukan di awal kalimat: yaitu "If asked who invented the game of
baseball, most Americans would probably reply that it was their belief
that Abner Doubleday did" (jika diminta siapa penemu permainan baseball,
kebanyakan orang Amerika mungkin akan menjawab dengan yakin yaitu Abner
Doubleday). Gagasan utama dari paragraph kedua ditemukan di baris
pertama: yaitu "Doubleday was given credit for this invention"
(Daubleday diberikan penghargaan atas penemuannya). Gagasan utama
paragraph ketiga ditemukan di baris pertama: yaitu "most sports
historians are in agreement that Doubleday really did not have much to
do with the development of baseball" (kebanyakan sejarahawan olaharaga
setuju bahwa Doubleday tidak sungguh-sungguh banyak melakukan
pengembangan baseball). Jika Anda pelajari informasi tersebut pada
setiap baris pertama dari masing-masing paragraph, Anda dapat menentukan
bahwa paragraph ketiga berlawanan atau menyangkal (refutes) informasi
yang diperkenalkan diperkenalkan (presented) di awal dua paragraph
tersebut. Untuk itu, jawaban (A) adalah yang paling benar untuk
pertanyaan ini.
