Jawaban: B) World War I was not the first war in which civilians died

Pembahasan: Dalam soal ini, kita diminta untuk memahami informasi yang disampaikan dalam teks. Teks tersebut menjelaskan bahwa Perang Dunia I dianggap sebagai perang modern pertama, di mana populasi sipil sengaja diletakkan dalam bahaya sebagai taktik perang langsung, dan hal ini berlanjut dalam semua perang berikutnya. Meskipun warga sipil selalu menjadi korban dalam perang, Perang Dunia I membuat korban sipil menjadi hal yang diterima dan biasa, misalnya, dari pemboman udara. Semua aspek masyarakat yang berperang terpengaruh oleh konflik ini, seringkali menyebabkan perubahan sosial yang mendalam, bahkan jika negara-negara tersebut tidak berada di zona perang.

Dari teks tersebut, kita bisa memahami bahwa Perang Dunia I bukanlah perang pertama di mana warga sipil meninggal. Hal ini sesuai dengan pilihan jawaban B) World War I was not the first war in which civilians died. Pilihan jawaban lainnya tidak sesuai dengan informasi yang disampaikan dalam teks. Pilihan A) tidak relevan karena teks tidak membahas tentang desain atau pembuatan pesawat khusus untuk fungsi perang sebelum Perang Dunia I. Pilihan C) juga tidak relevan karena teks tidak menyatakan bahwa banyak orang menganggap Perang Dunia I sebagai momen penentu kehidupan modern. Pilihan D) tidak sesuai karena teks tidak menyebutkan bahwa pemboman udara terhadap warga sipil mendapat kritikan luas. Dan pilihan E) juga tidak sesuai karena teks tidak menyatakan bahwa kematian dalam Perang Dunia I biasanya diakibatkan oleh kesalahan, kecelakaan, atau terlalu dekat dengan target militer. Oleh karena itu, jawaban yang paling tepat adalah B) World War I was not the first war in which civilians died.
