- V辞書形 + ために
- N + の + ために
Explicação
There are two uses. (1) Purpose: A tame ni B means the subject does B in order to achieve A. A is a deliberate action like iku or kau, and the same person does A and B. (2) Benefit: person/thing + no tame ni means 'for the sake of' them, as in kazoku no tame ni. Nouns like kenkou no tame ni can also show a purpose.

Observações
With potential forms or non-volitional verbs like mieru and wakaru, use you ni instead of tame ni (hanaseru you ni, not hanaseru tame ni). Purpose tame ni does not attach to adjectives.

Resposta e explicação
Resposta: 3 旅行に 行く ために、三万円 貯めました。
Sentence 3, 'I saved 30,000 yen to go on a trip', is correct because going on a trip is a deliberate action. 1 uses a potential form, which needs you ni. In 2, rain is not something you control and the meaning does not fit. In 4, purpose tame ni cannot follow a na-adjective.
