"My friend didn't come for a long time, so I waited at the station for three whole hours." も after an amount shows it feels like a lot. しか needs a negative verb, and で and を are not used after a length of time like this.

เฉลย: 1 安ければ

"They're nice. If they were a little cheaper, I would buy them." 安ければ is a condition (if cheap). 安くても means "even if cheap," and 安くて / 安いので give a reason, which does not match もう少し (a little more).

เฉลย: 3 のに

"Even though I took medicine, my cold isn't getting better." のに shows the result is the opposite of what you expected. ので and から give a reason, and ために shows a purpose or cause, so they do not connect the two parts.

เฉลย: 2 あります

"The classroom window has been opened. I wonder who opened it." Object が + transitive verb て + ある shows a state left by someone's action. The other three forms need まどを, not まどが.

เฉลย: 4 ついて

"The light in the room is on. Someone must be there." After 電気が we need the intransitive verb つく. つける and けす are transitive and need 電気を. きえて (off) is grammatical but does not match "someone must be there."

เฉลย: 1 ように なりました

"One year after coming to Japan, I can now read Japanese newspapers a little." ようになる shows a change, often after a potential form like 読める. The other three express effort or decisions and do not follow a potential form.

เฉลย: 3 ことに しました

"After thinking carefully, I decided to go to a university in Japan next year." ことにする shows your own decision. ところでした (was about to) and ことがあります (sometimes do) do not fit 来年 (next year), and 行くそうでした is not correct.

เฉลย: 1 もらって いる

"Yes, my teacher checks it for me every week." (person)に + てもらう means someone does something for you. くれる needs 先生が, not 先生に, and あげる / さしあげる are for doing something for another person.

เฉลย: 4 させました

"My mother was strict, and when I was a child she made me practice the piano every day." (person)に + させる is the causative (make someone do). されました is passive, and しました / できました do not fit わたしに.

เฉลย: 2 だそうです

"According to the weather forecast, it will rain tomorrow." For hearsay そうだ, a noun needs だ: 雨だそうです. 雨そうです, 雨のそうです, and 雨なそうです are not correct.

เฉลย: 3 はずです

"Lin has lived in Japan for ten years, so her Japanese should be good." はずだ shows a strong guess based on a reason. つもり is your own plan, and ところ / ばかり are about the timing of an action.

เฉลย: 4 ところ

"No, I'm just about to eat." Dictionary form + ところだ means you are just about to do something, which matches 今から. ばかり, まま, and あいだ do not give this meaning here.

เฉลย: 1 まだ

The order is 2→4→1→3: あしたのパーティーに行けるかどうかまだわかりません (I don't know yet whether I can go to the party tomorrow). The star is まだ.

เฉลย: 3 写真を

The order is 4→3→1→2: わたしは友だちに旅行の写真を見せてほしいです (I want my friend to show me the photos from the trip). The star is 写真を.

เฉลย: 2 ように

The order is 3→4→2→1: 体のために、毎日やさいを食べるようにしています (For my health, I try to eat vegetables every day). The star is ように.

เฉลย: 4 ような

The order is 3→2→4→1: リンさんもお母さんのような人になりたいそうです (Lin also wants to become a person like her mother). The star is ような.

เฉลย: 3 それで

Writing was hard for her, so she decided to write every day. それで (so / that's why) connects a reason and its result. でも shows contrast, それに adds something, and たとえば gives an example.

เฉลย: 1 くださいました

The subject is 先生は, and the teacher did something for the writer, so the polite form of てくれる, てくださいました, fits. いただく and もらう need わたしは先生に, and さしあげる is for doing something for the teacher.

เฉลย: 2 そんな

そんな (such / those kind of) points back to the teacher's words just written before. It goes before the noun ことば. どんな is for questions, and それ and そう cannot come directly before a noun.

เฉลย: 2 つづけようと 思います

これからも (from now on, too) needs a future intention, so つづけようと思います (I think I will continue) fits. The other three choices talk about the past.

เฉลย: 2 もえる ごみを 火曜日と 金曜日に 出す。

The notice says burnable trash will be collected on Tuesdays and Fridays from next month. Monday and Thursday are the old days. Bottles and cans stay on Wednesday, and plastic bottles must be separated from them and put out on Saturday.

เฉลย: 4 せまい 場所を 通れるか どうか 知る ため

The text says that if the whiskers do not touch the walls, the cat knows its body can also pass. So whiskers tell the cat whether it can go through a narrow place. Smell, warmth and talking with other cats are not mentioned.

เฉลย: 1 土曜日の 朝 10時に 来て、はこを 車まで 運ぶ こと

Tanaka asks Lin to come at 10 a.m. and carry the boxes to the car. The things are already packed in boxes, Tanaka's older brother will drive, and Tanaka will treat Lin to lunch.

เฉลย: 3 毎日 する ことが 多くて、つまらない 仕事だ。

The writer says, "At first I thought the field work was boring," and then lists daily tasks like watering and weeding, with no rest on hot days. Option 4 is wrong because the tomatoes did not turn red quickly.

เฉลย: 1 待つ 時間も 楽しい。

"That word" refers to what the grandmother said just before: 待つ時間も楽しいよ (waiting is fun too). Option 2 is what the writer said, and 3 and 4 are the writer's own thoughts.

เฉลย: 4 時間を かけて 作った 物は、できた ときに うれしい こと

At the end the writer says that because it takes time, you feel happy when it is finished. The home-grown tomatoes were small and not well shaped, but very sweet and tasty, so 1 and 3 are wrong. Option 2 is not in the text.

เฉลย: 2 11月8日までに、教室か 電話で もうしこむ。

Under もうしこみ it says to write your name at the reception by November 8, or apply by phone. When to pay is not written. Telling which dish you will bring is also done when applying, by the 8th, not the 15th.

เฉลย: 3 料理の 名前と 中に 入って いる 物を カードに 書く。

The notice asks people to write the dish name and its ingredients on a card. There is no microwave, so 1 is wrong. Plates and cups are provided, and dishes should be for about five people, so 2 and 4 are wrong.
