不便 is read ふべん (inconvenient). 便 is read べん, as in 便利. The sentence means "This town is far from the station, so it is a little inconvenient."

Resposta: 1 さんぎょう

産業 is read さんぎょう (industry). Note the long sound ぎょう. ざんぎょう is a different word (overtime). The sentence means "What is the main industry of this town?"

Resposta: 4 かよって

通う is read かよう (to go regularly, commute). 通る (とおる) uses the same kanji but means to pass through. The sentence means "My younger sister goes to school by bicycle."

Resposta: 2 ふとい

太い is read ふとい (thick). There is no voiced sound. The sentence means "My father has thick arms."

屋上 is read おくじょう (rooftop). 屋 is や in 本屋, but おく here. The sentence means "There is a small park on the roof of the department store."

Resposta: 4 しょうがつ

正月 is read しょうがつ (New Year). 正 is しょう and 月 is がつ here. The sentence means "At New Year, my family goes to the countryside."

Resposta: 2 しなもの

品物 is read しなもの (goods, items). Both kanji use their Japanese readings. The sentence means "All the goods in this store are cheap."

For hot weather, write 暑い. 熱い is for hot things like tea, and 厚い means thick. The sentence means "It is very hot today, isn't it?"

Resposta: 3 考えて

かんがえる is written 考える (to think). 老, 孝 and 者 look similar but are different kanji. The sentence means "I will answer after thinking a little more."

Resposta: 4 池

いけ is written 池 (pond). It has the water radical 氵. 地, 他 and 油 are similar-looking but different kanji. The sentence means "There are fish in the park pond."

Resposta: 2 試験

しけん is written 試験 (exam). 検, 険 and 式 are different kanji. The sentence means "I have an English exam next week."

Resposta: 4 店員

てんいん is written 店員 (store clerk): 店 for store and 員 for member. 院 is the 院 of 病院. The sentence means "Let's ask that clerk."

Resposta: 2 けいけん

けいけん means experience: "I have experience working abroad." けいかく (plan) and よてい (schedule) are about the future, so they do not fit 働いた. せつめい (explanation) does not make sense.

Resposta: 1 げんいん

げんいん means cause: "I am checking the cause of the computer stopping." けいかく (plan), いけん (opinion) and ようい (preparation) do not make sense here.

Resposta: 3 くらべて

くらべる means to compare: "I buy after comparing the prices at the two stores." ならべる (to line up), つたえる (to tell) and まちがえる (to make a mistake) do not fit.

Resposta: 4 おれました

おれる is used for long, thin things like branches breaking: "A tree branch broke in the strong wind." われる is for glass, やぶれる for paper or cloth, and こわれる for machines.

Resposta: 2 こまかい

こまかいお金 means small change: "Sorry, I don't have small change, so may I pay with a 10,000-yen bill?" ほそい (thin), みじかい (short) and ひくい (low) are not used for money.

Resposta: 1 ふくざつ

ふくざつ means complicated: "This problem is complicated, so I don't understand it well." ていねい (polite), ねっしん (eager) and あんぜん (safe) are not reasons for not understanding.

Resposta: 3 なかなか

なかなか + negative means "not ... for a long time": "The bus just didn't come, so I went by taxi." そろそろ (soon), だんだん (gradually) and はっきり (clearly) do not fit with 来ない.

Resposta: 4 レポート

レポート is a report you write and hand in: "Write a report about the book we read in class and hand it in by Friday." ニュース (news), カレンダー (calendar) and パーティー (party) are not things you write and submit.

Resposta: 3 田中さんは わたしに 「ごめんなさい」と 言いました。

あやまる means to apologize, that is, to say ごめんなさい. The sentence means "Mr. Tanaka apologized to me."

Resposta: 1 この 国は 車を たくさん 外国に 売って います。

ゆしゅつする means to export, that is, to sell to other countries. Buying from other countries is ゆにゅう (import). The sentence means "This country exports many cars."

Resposta: 4 父は 弟を おこりました。

This is a passive sentence: "My younger brother was scolded by my father." The father did the scolding, so it equals "My father got angry at my brother." Choice 1 reverses the people, and ほめる means to praise.

Resposta: 2 リンさんの 話は ほんとうでは ありませんでした。

うそ means a lie, something not true. The sentence means "Lin's story was a lie." Choice 1 is the opposite, and 3 and 4 are about other things.

Resposta: 1 この 国では サッカーが さかんです。

さかん means popular or thriving: "Soccer is popular in this country." In 2, 高い (high) fits; in 3, うるさい (noisy); in 4, からい (spicy).

Resposta: 3 その 青い シャツ、よく にあって いますね。

にあう means to suit someone (clothes, colors): "That blue shirt really suits you." In 1, 合って fits; in 2, 会いました; in 4, にて or 同じ.

Resposta: 2 大学の ことで、父と 母に そうだんしました。

そうだん means to consult someone for advice: "I talked with my parents about university." In 1, 見ました or 調べました fits; in 3, 聞きながら; in 4, さんぽします (take a walk).

Resposta: 4 あそんだ あとは、おもちゃを かたづけて ください。

かたづける means to tidy up or put things away: "After playing, please put your toys away." In 1, 調べました (looked up) fits; in 2, 入れて (put in); in 3, あらいます (wash).

Resposta: 3 ほど

"This winter is not as cold as last year." A wa B hodo ~nai means A is not as ~ as B. Shika ... nai means "only", which makes no sense here. Bakari and demo cannot express a comparison with ~nai.

Resposta: 1 行くなら

"If you're going to Kyoto, you should book a hotel early." Nara picks up what the other person said and gives advice. Booking happens before the trip, so ittara (after you go) does not fit. To cannot be followed by advice, and ittemo (even if) has the wrong meaning.

Resposta: 4 ように

"I'll write it on the calendar so that I don't forget tomorrow's plan." ~nai you ni shows a purpose: so that something does not happen. Node would mean "because I won't forget", which does not make sense. Noni and bakari do not fit.

Resposta: 2 ことに

"Because of my father's job, it has been decided that our family will live in Hokkaido from next spring." Koto ni naru shows something decided by circumstances, not by yourself. The other choices cannot be followed by narimashita.

Resposta: 3 いる ようです

"I can hear a sound in the next room. It seems someone is there." You yo da is a guess based on what you see or hear. Tsumori is your own plan, mashou is an invitation, and tagaru describes another person's wish, so they do not fit.

Resposta: 1 らしいです

"According to the weather forecast, it seems it will rain tomorrow." Rashii is a guess based on information you heard or read, and tenki yohou ni yoru to shows the source. Mama, bakari and koto cannot describe a future event like this.

Resposta: 2 食べさせられました

"As a child, I was made to eat vegetables I disliked by my mother. So now I can eat anything." Tabesaserareru is the causative-passive: you do something because someone makes you. Taberaresaseru is not a real form. The other two do not connect with the next sentence.

Resposta: 4 帰らせて いただけませんか

"Excuse me, I've caught a cold, so could you let me go home early today?" ~sasete itadakemasen ka politely asks permission for yourself. Kaette itadakemasen ka would ask B to go home. Kaerarete itadakemasen ka is not a correct form, and kaerasete agemasen ka has the wrong meaning.

Resposta: 1 いらっしゃいます

"About what time does the teacher come to school every morning?" For the teacher's action, use the respectful irassharu (come). Mairu and oru are humble words for your own actions. Itadaku is humble for receive or eat.

Resposta: 3 お持ちします

Customer: "This bag is heavy." Clerk: "Then I'll carry it to your car." The clerk does the action, so the humble o-V-suru form omochi shimasu is correct. Omochi ni narimasu and motte irasshaimasu are respectful forms for others. Omochi kudasai asks the customer to carry it.

Resposta: 2 ばかり

"I just ate a little while ago, so I'm still full." Ta-form + bakari means something happened only a short time ago. Nagara does not follow the ta-form, and mama and hodo do not make sense here.

Resposta: 4 つけた まま

"Last night I fell asleep with the light on, so the room was bright when I woke up." Ta-form + mama means a state stays unchanged. With tsukenaide the room would not be bright. Tsuketagatte and tsukeru you ni do not fit the meaning.

Resposta: 1 間に

"I want to climb Mt. Fuji once while I'm in Japan." Aida ni is used for something done at some point during a period. Aida (without ni) is for something that continues the whole time, so it does not match ichido (once). Uchi de and made de are not correct here.

Resposta: 4 カメラを

The order is 3-1-4-2: Watashi wa otouto ni chichi ni moratta kamera o kowasaremashita. (My younger brother broke the camera my father gave me.) The star is kamera o.

Resposta: 3 来る

The order is 2-4-3-1: Sensei ni, ashita wa hachi-ji yori hayaku kuru you ni iwaremashita. (My teacher told me to come earlier than 8 tomorrow.) The star is kuru.

Resposta: 2 海の

The order is 3-2-4-1: Watashi ga umareta no wa umi no chikaku ni aru machi desu. (The place I was born is a town near the sea.) The star is umi no.

Resposta: 1 なって

The order is 3-4-1-2: Juugatsu ni haitte, dandan samuku natte kita node, seetaa o dashimashita. (It has gradually gotten colder in October, so I took out my sweater.) The star is natte.

Resposta: 2 けれども

The writer thought Japanese festivals were quiet, but was surprised that one was lively. Keredomo (however) links opposite ideas. Sorede and dakara show cause and result, and soreni adds information.

Resposta: 4 たとえば

After saying the festivals are similar, the writer gives an example: everyone dances the same dance. Tatoeba (for example) introduces an example. Shikashi and demo show contrast, and soredewa changes the topic.

Resposta: 3 言われて います

~to iwarete imasu means "it is said that ~", something many people say. Iwarete arimasu is not a correct form, and iwasete imasu and itte agemasu have the wrong meaning.

Resposta: 2 だろうと 思います

Whether the family will be happy is not the writer's decision, so the guess form darou to omoimasu fits, and kitto often goes with darou. Tsumori, you ni suru and koto ni shita describe your own plans or decisions.

Resposta: 2 自分の ふくろを 使う ことは、小さいが 大切な ことだ。

The last sentence says using your own bag is a small thing, but very important. That is the writer's main point. The writer felt it was inconvenient only at first, and now says it is not hard.

Resposta: 4 しりょうを 自分の 分だけ コピーして おく。

The meeting is the day after tomorrow, so the day before is tomorrow. The memo says to copy one set of the papers for yourself by tomorrow. Tanaka sends the papers, and opinions will be heard on the day of the meeting.

Resposta: 1 父との やくそくが あったので、今の 仕事を えらんだから

The writer says they chose this job because of that promise, and wants to thank their father. The daily 10-minute reading promise led to the current job. The text does not say the father bought books or introduced the company.

Resposta: 3 道が 分からなく なり、スマートフォンも 使えなかったから

Paragraph 2 says the writer got lost and could not use the smartphone because the battery was dead. The writer still had the hotel card and showed it to the woman. Nothing is said about hotel staff or the museum being closed.

Resposta: 2 紙に 地図を かいて、ホテルまで いっしょに 歩いて くれた。

Paragraph 3 says she drew a map on paper and walked with the writer to the hotel. She asked the next shop's person to watch her own shop, not to take the writer. She drew the map on paper, not on the card.

Resposta: 4 ことばが 上手に 話せなくても、あいての ことを 考える こと

The last paragraph says that even without speaking the language well, people can understand each other if they think of the other person. Studying the language, the battery, or returning early are not what the writer calls important.

Resposta: 1 Cコースで 14,000円

Courses B and C leave after 8:00. Of these, only C includes lunch. C costs 7,000 yen per person, so two adults pay 14,000 yen. A leaves at 7:00, and B has no lunch.

Resposta: 3 電話で れんらくして、りょうきんの 半分を はらう。

You must call, and if you call on the day of departure, you pay half the fee. It is free only if you call by the day before. You pay the full fee only if you do not call.
