  1. 1.ウーさんは 55 歳で、このスポーツジムに入会してトレーニングジムとプールを使いたいと考えている。火曜の 10 時から 12 時までと、水曜の 17 時から 19 時までが両方利用できるもので、できるだけ安いプランがいい。ウーさんの希望に合うプランはどれか。

    1. 1 フルタイム
    2. 2 平日 A
    3. 3 平日 B
    4. 4 平日 C
    Show answer

    Answer: 2. 平日 A

    Option 2 (平日A) is correct. ウーさん needs a plan that allows both Tuesday 10:00–12:00 and Wednesday 17:00–19:00, and he wants the cheapest option. 平日A (9,000円) covers 月～金の営業時間内 (Mon–Fri during all business hours), so both time slots are covered. It is cheaper than フルタイム (10,000円). He cannot use 平日B or 平日C because neither covers both time slots, and he cannot use シニア because he is only 55 (the plan requires 60歳以上).

    • 1フルタイム (10,000円) covers all business hours, so both time slots would work. However, it is more expensive than 平日A (9,000円), and the question asks for the cheapest plan that meets his needs.
    • 3平日B (8,000円) covers 月～金の17:00まで (Mon–Fri until 17:00). Tuesday 10:00–12:00 is fine, but Wednesday 17:00–19:00 starts exactly at 17:00 and extends to 19:00, which is beyond the 17:00 limit. This plan does not allow both time slots.
    • 4平日C (8,000円) covers 月～金の18:00以降 (Mon–Fri from 18:00 onwards). Wednesday 17:00–19:00 starts at 17:00, which is before 18:00, so this time slot is not fully covered. Also, Tuesday 10:00–12:00 is completely outside the allowed hours. This plan does not work.
    • 平日へいじつ — weekday (Mon–Fri)
    • 以降いこう — from (a certain time) onwards
    • シニア — senior (here: 60 years old and above)
    • 営業時間えいぎょうじかん — business hours

  2. 2.アンガスさんは、このスポーツジムの「夏のご入会キャンペーン」の期間内に入会手続きに行くつもりだ。アンガスさんが入会手続き時に支払わなければならない料金はどれか。

    1. 1 入会金と 2 か月分の月会費
    2. 2 入会金と 1 か月分の月会費
    3. 3 2 か月分の月会費
    4. 4 1 か月分の月会費
    Show answer

    Answer: 3. 2 か月分の月会費

    Option 3 (2か月分の月会費) is correct. Under normal 入会手続き, one must pay 入会金 (5,000円) plus 2か月分の月会費 (1st and 2nd month). However, during the 夏のご入会キャンペーン, 特典① makes the 入会金無料 (enrollment fee free), and 特典② waives the 3か月目の月会費 (3rd month's fee), which does not affect the upfront payment. So at the time of 入会手続き, アンガスさん only needs to pay the 2か月分の月会費 (1st and 2nd month), with no 入会金.

    • 1入会金と2か月分の月会費 would be the normal payment without any campaign. However, 特典① makes the 入会金無料, so the 入会金 does not need to be paid during the campaign period.
    • 2入会金と1か月分の月会費 is wrong because the 入会金 is free (特典①), and the normal requirement is 2 months of monthly fees upfront (1st and 2nd month), not 1 month. 特典② waives the 3rd month, not one of the first two months.
    • 41か月分の月会費 is wrong because the 入会手続き normally requires 2か月分 (1st and 2nd month) of monthly fees upfront. 特典② only waives the 3rd month's fee, so the first 2 months still must be paid at enrollment.
    • 入会金にゅうかいきん — enrollment/joining fee
    • 月会費げつかいひ — monthly membership fee
    • 免除めんじょ — exemption, waiver
    • 特典とくてん — special benefit, perk
    • 無料むりょう — free of charge
