From the dialogue above we can conclude that......
a. Supeksa will help Rahde
b. Rahde has ability to type using computer
c. Rahde is very disappointed
d. Rahde doesn't have ability to type using computer
e. Supeksa is pleasure to ask rahde
Pembahasan :
Dalam dialog, supeksa bertanya dengan " can you help me....? " and
Rahde menjawab dengan " sorry, i am not able to...... " maka jelas
bahwa yang dibahas dalam dialog ini adalah ketidakmampuan karena
Rahde mengatakan " i'm not able ". Jadi Rahde tidak mempunyai
kemanpuan mengetik dengan komputer / rahde doesn't have ability to
type using computer.
