  1. 1.マラソン大会が終わり、先ほど道路の交通規制が( )されました。

    1. 1 解除
    2. 2 解禁
    3. 3 廃止
    4. 4 停止
    Show answer

    Answer: 1. 解除

    解除(かいじょ)means 'lifting/canceling (a restriction, ban, or regulation).' The standard collocation is 交通規制が解除される — traffic controls are lifted once the marathon is over. This fits perfectly: the race ended, so the road restrictions were just lifted.

    • 2解禁(かいきん)means 'lifting a ban' on something that was legally prohibited (e.g., alcohol, a restricted product). Traffic regulations for an event are not a 'ban' that gets 解禁; they are temporary controls that get 解除.
    • 3廃止(はいし)means 'abolish/scrap permanently' (e.g., a law or system). Traffic controls for a marathon are temporary, not permanently abolished.
    • 4停止(ていし)means 'stop/suspend.' Putting it in the sentence would mean the traffic controls were 'stopped/suspended,' which is close in meaning but the wrong collocation — you lift (解除) a 規制, you don't 停止 it. 停止 is used for things like operations or machines.
    • 解除かいじょ — lifting/canceling (a restriction, regulation, or ban)
    • 解禁かいきん — lifting a legal ban (on a prohibited item/activity)
    • 廃止はいし — abolishing/scraping (a system or law) permanently
    • 停止ていし — stopping/suspending (operations, a machine, etc.)
  2. 2.記事のすぐ下に写真を載せるなど( )を工夫すれば、もっと読みやすくなるだろう。

    1. 1 スケッチ
    2. 2 レイアウト
    3. 3 アウトライン
    4. 4 ルックス
    Show answer

    Answer: 2. レイアウト

    レイアウト means 'layout' — the arrangement of text, images, and other elements on a page. The sentence says that by cleverly arranging photos right below articles, the publication becomes easier to read; this is precisely about improving the layout.

    • 1スケッチ means 'sketch' — a rough drawing. This is about drawing, not about arranging page elements.
    • 3アウトライン means 'outline' — the structural framework or summary of content. While related to writing, it does not refer to the visual placement of photos and text on a page.
    • 4ルックス means 'looks/appearance' (borrowed from English 'looks'). It refers to someone's outward appearance and does not fit the context of arranging articles and photos.
    • レイアウト(れいあうと) — layout (arrangement of text/images on a page)
    • スケッチ(すけっち) — sketch (rough drawing)
    • アウトライン(あうとらいん) — outline (structural framework/summary)
    • ルックス(るっくす) — looks, outward appearance
  3. 3.来春から始まる情報番組の司会に、若手のアナウンサーを( )することが決まった。

    1. 1 採取
    2. 2 引用
    3. 3 採択
    4. 4 起用
    Show answer

    Answer: 4. 起用

    起用(きよう)する means 'to appoint/cast (someone) in a role or position,' especially in entertainment, broadcasting, or projects. 起用する is the standard collocation for selecting a person to serve as a program's host/MC (司会). The sentence says a young announcer was appointed as host of a new information program.

    • 1採取(さいしゅ)する means 'to collect/gather (samples, data, specimens).' You collect things like rocks or blood samples, not people.
    • 2引用(いんよう)する means 'to quote/cite (a passage or source).' You cannot 'quote' a person into a hosting role.
    • 3採択(さいたく)する means 'to adopt/select (a proposal, plan, or resolution).' It is used for choosing among plans or motions, not for appointing a person to a position.
    • 起用きよう — appointing/casting someone in a role or position
    • 採取さいしゅ — collecting/gathering (samples, data, specimens)
    • 引用いんよう — quoting/citing (a source or passage)
    • 採択さいたく — adopting/selecting (a proposal, plan, or resolution)
  4. 4.事件発生の連絡を受け、記者たちは急いで現場に( )。

    1. 1 寄りかかった
    2. 2 駆けつけた
    3. 3 結びついた
    4. 4 突っ込んだ
    Show answer

    Answer: 2. 駆けつけた

    駆けつける(かけつける)means 'to rush to/hurry to a place,' especially in response to news or an emergency. 現場に駆けつける is the standard journalistic collocation: reporters rush to the scene upon hearing about an incident. The に particle matches 現場に駆けつける.

    • 1寄りかかる(よりかかる)means 'to lean on/rest against' (a wall, a person). Reporters do not 'lean on' the scene.
    • 3結びつく(むすびつく)means 'to be connected/linked to.' This describes an abstract relationship, not physically going somewhere.
    • 4突っ込む(つっこむ)can mean 'to plunge into/dash into,' but it implies recklessly entering or crashing into something, and is not the standard word for reporters heading to a scene. 駆けつける specifically conveys hurrying to a location in response to news.
    • けつける — to rush to/hurry to a place (in response to news/emergency)
    • りかかる — to lean on/rest against
    • むすびつく — to be connected/linked to
    • 突っ込む(つっこむ) — to plunge into/dash into (also: to point out/stress something)
  5. 5.この食品会社は、薬品や化粧品の分野にも進出し、( )経営に乗り出している。

    1. 1 建設的な
    2. 2 普遍的な
    3. 3 圧倒的な
    4. 4 多角的な
    Show answer

    Answer: 4. 多角的な

    多角的な(たかくてきな)means 'multifaceted/diversified.' 多角的経営(たかくてきけいえい)is a standard business term: 'diversified management' — expanding a company's operations into multiple different fields. The sentence describes a food company expanding into pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, which is exactly diversified management.

    • 1建設的な(けんせつてきな)means 'constructive.' While 'constructive management' sounds positive, it is not a set phrase and does not describe expanding into multiple business fields.
    • 2普遍的な(ふへんてきな)means 'universal/general.' This describes something that applies broadly or everywhere, not a company's diversified business strategy.
    • 3圧倒的な(あっとうてきな)means 'overwhelming.' You might say 圧倒的な力 or 圧倒的な勝利, but it does not describe the nature of a management approach that spans multiple industries.
    • 多角的たかくてき — multifaceted, diversified (esp. 多角的経営 = diversified management)
    • 建設的けんせつてき — constructive
    • 普遍的ふへんてき — universal, general
    • 圧倒的あっとうてき — overwhelming
  1. 6.ハムをスライスして皿に載せた。

    1. 1 細かく切って
    2. 2 薄く切って
    3. 3 よく焼いて
    4. 4 軽く焼いて
    Show answer

    Answer: 2. 薄く切って

    スライス (slice) means to cut into thin slices, so 薄く切って (cutting thinly) is the closest paraphrase.

    • 1細かく切って means 'cutting finely/chopping small,' which is mincing, not slicing.
    • 3よく焼いて means 'grilling/cooking well,' unrelated to slicing.
    • 4軽く焼いて means 'lightly grilling,' also unrelated to slicing.
    • スライス — to slice (cut into thin pieces)
    • こまかく — finely, into small pieces
    • うす — thinly
  2. 7.集会が始まると、資料がめいめいに配られた。

    1. 1 グループごとに
    2. 2 一人一人に
    3. 3 一斉に
    4. 4 順々に
    Show answer

    Answer: 2. 一人一人に

    めいめいに means 'each person individually / to each person separately,' so 一人一人に (to each person) is the closest paraphrase.

    • 1グループごとに means 'by group / for each group,' not per individual.
    • 3一斉に means 'all at once / simultaneously,' focusing on timing rather than distribution to each person.
    • 4順々に means 'in turn / one after another,' focusing on order rather than individual distribution.
    • めいめいに — each person individually; to each person separately
    • 一斉いっせい — all at once, simultaneously
    • 順々じゅんじゅん — in turn, one after another
  3. 8.祖父のノートには、当時の出来事が克明に記されていた。

    1. 1 客観的に
    2. 2 簡潔にまとめて
    3. 3 生き生きと
    4. 4 詳しく丁寧に
    Show answer

    Answer: 4. 詳しく丁寧に

    克明に means 'minutely, in great detail, meticulously,' so 詳しく丁寧に (in detail and carefully) is the closest paraphrase.

    • 1客観的に means 'objectively,' which is about neutrality, not detail.
    • 2簡潔にまとめて means 'summarized concisely,' the opposite of detailed recording.
    • 3生き生きと means 'vividly/lively,' describing liveliness rather than meticulous detail.
    • 克明こくめい — minutely, in great detail, meticulously
    • 客観的きゃっかんてき — objectively
    • 簡潔かんけつ — concisely, briefly
  4. 9.状況を改善する手立てがない。

    1. 1 方法
    2. 2 費用
    3. 3 時間
    4. 4 意志
    Show answer

    Answer: 1. 方法

    手立て means 'method, means, measure,' so 方法 (method) is the closest paraphrase.

    • 2費用 means 'cost/expense,' not a method.
    • 3時間 means 'time,' not a method.
    • 4意志 means 'will/intention,' not a method.
    • 手立てだ — method, means, measure
    • 状況じょうきょう — situation, circumstances
    • 改善かいぜん — improvement

    1. 1 次々と
    2. 2 ぼんやり
    3. 3 はっきり
    4. 4 ふと
    Show answer

    Answer: 3. はっきり

    ありありと means 'vividly, clearly,' so はっきり (clearly) is the closest paraphrase.

    • 1次々と means 'one after another,' focusing on sequence rather than clarity.
    • 2ぼんやり means 'faintly/vaguely,' the opposite of ありありと.
    • 4ふと means 'suddenly/unexpectedly,' describing how something comes to mind, not the vividness.
    • ありありと — vividly, clearly (appearing distinctly in the mind)
    • かんできた — came to mind, surfaced
    • ぼんやり — vaguely, faintly, dimly
