1.ロンさんは、市内建築めぐり「江戸時代の建築」に参加したいと思っている。ロンさんが留意しなければならないことはどれか。
1. 1 開催日当日は、自身で直接見学先に向かわなければならない。
2. 2 特別展の解説も聞きたい場合、開催日の前日までに連絡する必要がある。
3. 3 受け付けは先着順のため、できるだけ早く申し込まなければならない。
4. 4 参加が決まったら、開催日の1週間前までに参加費を支払う必要がある。
Show answer

Answer: 4. 参加が決まったら、開催日の1週間前までに参加費を支払う必要がある。
Ron wants to join event C (市内建築めぐり「江戸時代の建築」). The payment section states that for A and C, payment must be made by one week before the event date (開催日の1週間前までにお支払いください). This matches option 4 exactly: if his participation is confirmed, he must pay the participation fee by one week before the event date.
- 1The passage states that participants gather at the museum at 9:30 (県立歴史博物館 9:30 集合), meaning they meet at the museum first and presumably travel together to the sites. They do not go directly to the 見学先 on their own.
- 2The passage says ご希望の方は当日お申し出ください — those who wish to hear the special exhibition commentary should apply on the day itself, not contact them by the day before.
- 3The application method for A–C states that if applications exceed capacity, a lottery is held (抽選となります). It is NOT first-come-first-served (先着順), so there is no need to apply as early as possible.
- 留意りゅうい — to keep in mind, to pay attention to
- 抽選ちゅうせん — lottery, random selection
- 先着順せんちゃくじゅん — first-come-first-served order
- 当日とうじつ — on the day (of the event)
- 別途べっと — separately, additionally
2.アグネスさんは 7 月の特別講座「白船山遺跡発掘の歴史」の再募集に申し込もうと考えている。7 月 27 日の回を希望しているが、どのように申し込まなければならないか。また、受講できることになった場合、受講料の支払いはどうすればよいか。
1. 1 7 月 24 日までに電話で申し込み、当日 1,000 円を会場で支払う。
2. 2 7 月 24 日までに電話で申し込み、当日 1,800 円を会場で支払う。
3. 3 7 月 27 日までに電話で申し込み、当日 1,000 円を会場で支払う。
4. 4 7 月 27 日までに電話で申し込み、当日 1,800 円を会場で支払う。
Show answer

Answer: 1. 7 月 24 日までに電話で申し込み、当日 1,000 円を会場で支払う。
Agnes wants to attend only the July 27 session of event D. For event D, the application method is by phone only (電話でのみ受け付けます), and the deadline is 3 days before each session (各回の3日前). July 27 minus 3 days = July 24, so she must apply by July 24. For payment, B and D are paid on the day at the venue (当日会場にてお支払いください). Since she attends only one session (1回のみの受講可), the fee is 1,000円 (1回 1000円), not the full 1,800円 for both sessions. Option 1 correctly combines all three facts: apply by July 24 by phone, pay 1,000円 on the day at the venue.
- 2The deadline (July 24) and method (phone) are correct, but the fee of 1,800円 is wrong. 1,800円 is the price for attending both sessions (全2回). Since Agnes only wants the July 27 session, the correct fee is 1,000円 for a single session.
- 3The fee (1,000円) and method (phone) are correct, but the deadline is wrong. The deadline is 各回の3日前 (3 days before each session), so for the July 27 session it is July 24, not July 27 itself.
- 4Both the deadline and the fee are wrong. The deadline should be July 24 (3 days before), not July 27, and the fee should be 1,000円 (single session), not 1,800円 (both sessions).
