Read the text below and answer the question correctly!

Tiger is a carnivorous animal that can be found in various parts of the world. In
Indonesia itself there are several types that can still be found today. The Sumatera tiger is one
that we can still meet today even though their numbers continue to decline. These animals
spend more time hunting. High caloric needs require hunting activity as one of the main
activities. If they don’t hunt, they will lack caloric intake and may die of starvation.
The main prey of tigers are animals that are usually much smaller in size such as
mouse deer and deer. If he has gripped his prey he will not let go of his bite. The bite force
from the tiger’s jaws could be used to break an adult’s wrist. So they are wild animals that are
quite dangerous when we meet them in the wild.
……. it is dangerous, the population of tigers in the world continues to decline.
Hunting by humans is one of the main causes of their population decline. Humans are indeed
the highest predators that we cannot underestimate. With a gun, humans can easily hunt tigers
from a distance without risk. We really have to control this poaching if we want the
population to survive. As humans, of course we must be able to live side by side with the wild
so that the ecosystem is maintained.

Reog Ponorogo is one of Indonesia’s famous traditional dance. It is a product of
Ponorogo, East Java Indonesia. This dance has its own special, so many people amazed by
Reog Ponorogo. Reog Ponorogo has a story, sometimes we call it as a legend. Long time ago,
there was a King of Batarangin Kingdom named Prabu Kelana Sewandana. He was looking
for Dewi Sanggalangit who will be his future wife. Dewi Sanggalangit was a princess of
Kediri Kingdom. But she escaped from the kingdom because she didn’t want to marry Prabu
Kelana Sewadana.
After long day, Prabu Kelana Sewadana found Dewi Sanggalangit . When Prabu
found her, she was meditating in a cave. Prabu Kelana Sewadana asked Dewi Sanggalangit to
go back to Kingdom. Unfortunately, Dewi Sanggalangit against Prabu’s command, she had
another plan that she just got from her meditation. From her meditation, she got a solution.
The solution was about an art that had never shown before. So Dewi Sanggalangit asked
Prabu Kelana Sewadana to create an art as a requirement before Prabu Kelana Sewadana
married her. Dewi Sanggalangit thought this request would show how serious he was.
After though for a long day Prabu accepted the challenge that Dewi Sanggalangit had
asked for him. Prabu did a meditation to get a divine revelation from God. Fortunately, he got
the answer. He created a show with “Barongan” as Reog. Reog it self is made by Peacook’s
feathers and tiger’s head, all of them made in a big size. So it seems like a giant. This
peacook’s feathers is a symbol of Prabu’s love to Dewi Sanggalangit. The tiger is a symbol of
Prabu Kelana Sewadana. And the big size is a symbol how much Prabu loved Dewi
Sanggalangit. Knowing the show, Dewi Sanggalangit felt so happy and she decided to accept
Prabu’s marriage proposal.
This show named Reog Ponorogo, because the event occured in Ponorogo. Reog
Ponorogo always shown every year to commemorate their Wedding day.
