Alya: “I suggest one large sign near the doorway. People will see it easily.” Bima: “I see your point, but I’m concerned about the space. If we place it there, it may block the path.” Alya: “Could we put it beside the shelf instead?” Bima: “Perhaps. What if we test two smaller signs first?”
Alya: “That might work. One sign could show the borrowing steps, and the other could show the return steps.” Bima: “We should compare the wording as well as the size. A larger sign is not useful if the instructions are confusing.” Alya: “So, we will prepare two versions and ask the supervisor before testing them.”
Bima: “Yes. We also need a question for the readers.” Alya: “How about: Which sign helps you find the return step, and why?” Bima: “That is clearer than asking whether our favourite design is the best. Let’s keep the path open in both versions.”
Fokus pemeriksaan. How does the disagreement lead to a testable proposal?

Say what is compared
“OptionB is cheaper than option A” needs comparable quantities and conditions. Model: A costsRp 12,000 for four reusable cards; B costsRp 15,000 for six similar cards. Total price and price per card answer different questions. A costsRp 3,000 per card; B costsRp 2,500 per card. Sebut bahwa angka adalah simulasi, bukan harga pasar.
Use accurate comparison forms
Clearer than, easier than, and more durable than express comparison. As clear as expresses equal clarity in the stated context. Do not write more clearer. Less expensive than focuses on lower cost; it does not prove better quality. The best option requires stated criteria and evidence, not just a superlative.
Explain a trade-off
“B costs more in total, but it costs less per card.” “A may suit us if we need only four.” Keputusan dapat berbeda menurut kebutuhan serta anggaran. Kualitas kartu dianggap serupa dalam model hitungan; jika bahan berbeda, perbandingan perlu informasi tambahan. Tata bahasa membantu menyampaikan dasar keputusan.
Telusuri contoh
Compare unit prices in the model.
- A:12,000÷4=3,000.
- B:15,000÷6=2,500.
- B is less expensive per card, although its total price is higher.
Correct: “This label is more clearer.”
- Clear already takes-er.
- Use clearer.
- “This label is clearer than the old one.”
Cheaper per item does not always mean a lower total cost; comparisons need the same basis.
