Mohammad Hatta (12 August 1902 – 14 March 1980) was Indonesia's first vice president,
later also serving as the country's Prime Minister. Known as "The Proclamator", he and a number
of Indonesians, including the first president of Indonesia, Sukarno, fought for the independence
of Indonesia from the Dutch. Hatta was born in Bukittinggi, West Sumatra, Dutch East Indies
(now Indonesia)…..
On 18 August 1945, Hatta was selected as Indonesia's first Vice President by the PPKI to
accompany Sukarno, who had been elected as the nation's first president. As Vice President,
Hatta quickly established himself as the day-to-day administrator of the government, with
Sukarno setting government policy and then trying to win support for it. Although they had
different styles of governing, many agree that the style difference complimented both men's
talents perfectly. They were nicknamed the Duumvirate (Dwitunggal) and until today are hailed
by many as the best President and Vice President partnership in Indonesia's history
A. chosen
B. governed
C. established
D. accompanied
B.
Questions numbers: no 27 and 28 refer to the following excerpt;
Sukarno was the leader of the country's struggle for independence from the Netherlands and was
Indonesia's first president from 1945 to 1967. He was first exposed to nationalist ideas while
living under Tjokroaminoto. Later, while a student in Bandung, he immersed himself in Western,
communist, and Islamic political philosophy, eventually developing his own political ideology of
Indonesian-style socialist self-sufficiency. He began styling his ideas as Marhaenism, named
after Marhaen, an Indonesian peasant he met in southern Bandung area, who owned his little plot
of land and worked on it himself, producing sufficient income to support his family.
He was a prominent leader of Indonesia's nationalist movement during the Dutch colonial period,
and spent over a decade under Dutch detention until released by the invading Japanese forces.
Sukarno and his fellow nationalists collaborated to garner support for the Japanese war effort
from the population, in exchange for Japanese aid in spreading nationalist ideas. Upon Japanese
surrender, Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta declared Indonesian independence on 17 August 1945,
whereby Sukarno was appointed as first president. Sukarno led Indonesians in resisting Dutch re-
colonization efforts via diplomatic and military means until the Dutch acknowledgment of
Indonesian independence in 1949.

Gather: Candle wax and pre-waxed, pre-tabbed wicks (available at craft stores)
Containers for candles, tea cups, old glasses, etc
Double boiler, Wood chopsticks or skewers
Create:
1. Prepare your containers by cleaning them and filling them with water to be sure they don't
leak.
2. Add a bit of melted wax on the bottom of the wicks' tin base and place at the bottom of your
container. Lay a skewer over the container and wrap the wick around the skewer so it stands
straight up.
3. Using the double boiler, melt enough wax to fill your candle containers. Be very careful with
the hot wax. Wax is very flammable. Please take all the necessary precautions before melting the
wax.
4. Pour the wax into the containers. When they harden, you can add another layer of wax to the
top if you need to create a smoother surface.
5. Let the wax fully harden (about 24 hours), and trim the excess wick. That's it!
These make the loveliest gifts. Add a personal label, a friend's monogram or just a strip of pretty
vintage paper around a tin to make a one-of-a-kind gift.
