N1 Vocabulary · Test 134

閲覧 (えつらん) means 'viewing, reading (documents/books).' A 閲覧室 (えつらんしつ) is a 'reading room' in a library where you sit and read materials. The sentence 図書館の閲覧室で本を読む means 'I read books in the library's reading room.'

• 1一覧 (いちらん) means 'a list, an overview, a glance.' A 一覧室 is not a standard library term; 一覧 implies a summary or catalog view, not a place for reading.
• 3回覧 (かいらん) means 'circulation (of documents among people),' as in 回覧板 (circular notice board). 回覧室 is not a standard term for a library reading room.
• 4観覧 (かんらん) means 'viewing as a spectator,' as in 観覧席 (spectator seats) for sports or performances. You don't 'spectate' books, so this doesn't fit a library context.

• 閲覧えつらん — viewing, reading (documents/books in a facility)
• 一覧いちらん — a list, an overview
• 回覧かいらん — circulation (of documents among people)
• 観覧かんらん — viewing as a spectator (sports, performances)

きっちり means 'tightly, firmly, snugly.' The sentence 中身がこぼれないように、ビンのふたをきっちりしめた means 'To prevent the contents from spilling, I closed the bottle cap tightly.' きっちりしめる is a natural collocation meaning 'to close/secure tightly.'

• 1きっかり means 'exactly, precisely' (e.g., きっかり100円 — exactly 100 yen). It describes exactness of quantity or time, not tightness of closing.
• 3くっきり means 'clearly, distinctly' (e.g., くっきりと見える — clearly visible). It describes visual clarity, not physical tightness.
• 4じっくり means 'carefully, thoroughly, taking one's time' (e.g., じっくり考える — think carefully). It describes a deliberate, unhurried manner, not how tightly something is closed.

• きっちり — tightly, firmly, neatly
• きっかり — exactly, precisely (quantity/time)
• くっきり — clearly, distinctly (visual)
• じっくり — carefully, thoroughly, taking time
• こぼれる — to spill, to overflow

気品 (きひん) means 'elegance, refinement, grace.' 気品のある話し方 means 'an elegant/refined way of speaking.' The sentence 佐藤さんは、おだやかで気品のある話し方をする人です means 'Satō-san is a person who speaks in a calm and elegant manner.' おだやか (calm) pairs naturally with 気品 (elegance) to describe someone's speech style.

• 1気質 (きしつ/かたぎ) means 'temperament, disposition, innate character.' While it describes personality, it is not something that modifies 話し方 as '〜のある話し方' in this way; you wouldn't say 気質のある話し方.
• 2気性 (きしょう) means 'temperament, nature, disposition' (similar to 気質). Like 気質, it refers to one's innate temperament rather than an elegant quality of speech, and 気性のある話し方 is not a natural expression.
• 4気分 (きぶん) means 'mood, feeling.' 気分のある話し方 would mean something like 'speaking with a certain mood,' which is unnatural and doesn't convey the elegance intended alongside おだやか.

• 気品きひん — elegance, refinement, grace
• 気質きしつ/かたぎ — temperament, disposition
• 気性きしょう — temperament, nature
• 気分きぶん — mood, feeling
• おだやか — calm, gentle, mild

In the stem, やわらかい is used figuratively to describe a gentle, soft quality of speech/expression: 'Even saying the same thing, if the way of saying it is やわらかい (gentle/soft), the impression is different.' Option 4 — この画家の絵にはなんとも言えないやわらかい雰囲気がありますね ('This painter's work has an indescribably soft atmosphere') — uses やわらかい in the same figurative sense, describing a gentle, soft quality of atmosphere/impression, matching the stem's usage.

• 1歯が悪くて、やわらかいものしか食べられない ('My teeth are bad, so I can only eat soft things') uses やわらかい in the physical sense of 'physically soft (food texture),' which is different from the figurative 'gentle/soft in tone' meaning in the stem.
• 2頭がやわらかいうちに外国語を勉強しておくとよい ('It's good to study foreign languages while your mind is flexible') uses やわらかい in the sense of 'flexible, pliable (mind/thinking),' which is a different figurative usage from the stem.
• 3林さんは70歳を過ぎているのに、驚くほど体がやわらかい ('Hayashi-san is over 70, yet their body is surprisingly flexible') uses やわらかい in the physical sense of 'physically flexible/supple (body),' which differs from the stem's figurative meaning.

• やわらかい — soft, gentle, flexible (physical or figurative)

The stem uses たりる (足りる) in the sense of 'worthy of (doing something)' — まじめに考えるにたりない means 'not worth seriously considering.' Option 2 uses the same pattern: 信頼するにたりる人間 = 'a person worthy of trust.' The structure (V-辞書形 + に + たりる) meaning 'worthy of ~ing' is the usage being tested.

• 1Here たりる means 'to be enough/sufficient' (千円で十分にたりる = '1000 yen is enough'), a different sense from the stem.
• 3Here たりなかった means 'was insufficient/lacking' (言葉がたりなかった = 'my words were insufficient'), not 'worthy of.'
• 4Here たりない means 'not enough' (時間がたりない = 'not enough time'), the 'sufficient' sense, not 'worthy of.'

• 足たりる — 1) to be sufficient/enough; 2) to be worthy of (〜にたりる)

深まった（ふかまった）is the intransitive form of 深める, meaning 'to deepen.' 理解が深まる is a standard collocation: 'one's understanding deepened.' The sentence means: 'I feel my understanding of human nature has deepened through experience.'

• 1強まった（つよまった）means 'became stronger.' While possible in some contexts, 理解 is not normally collocated with 強まる; understanding deepens rather than 'strengthens.'
• 2広まった（ひろまった）means 'spread / became widespread.' This is used for rumors, diseases, or information spreading, not for one's personal understanding.
• 4早まった（はやまった）means 'became faster' or 'acted hastily.' Neither sense fits 'understanding of human nature.'

• 深ふかまる — to deepen (intransitive)
• 強つよまる — to become stronger
• 広ひろまる — to spread, to become widespread
• 早はやまる — to become faster; to act hastily

身の回り（みのまわり）refers to 'daily personal matters/tasks' such as dressing, eating, washing, etc. 「身の回りのことが自分でできる」is a common expression meaning 'can take care of one's own daily personal needs.' The sentence says: 'After my injury recovered, I became able to do my own daily personal tasks.'

• 2身の上（みのうえ）means 'one's personal circumstances / life history / fortune.' It does not fit the context of doing tasks oneself.
• 3身近（みぢか）means 'close at hand / familiar.' As a noun it does not collocate with 〜のことができる in this way.
• 4身分（みぶん）means 'social status / rank.' It is unrelated to recovering from injury and doing daily tasks.

• 身の回り（みのまわり） — one's daily personal matters (dressing, eating, etc.)
• 身の上（みのうえ） — one's personal circumstances, life history
• 身近みぢか — close at hand, familiar
• 身分みぶん — social status, rank

取り締まり（とりしまり）means 'enforcement / crackdown / regulation.' 「スピード違反の取り締まり」is a standard collocation: 'crackdown on speeding violations.' The police enforce traffic rules.

• 2取り扱い（とりあつかい）means 'handling / treatment (of goods, matters, people).' Police do not 'handle' speeding violations in this sense.
• 3取り引き（とりひき）means 'transaction / business deal.' Completely unrelated to police enforcement.
• 4引き取り（ひきとり）means 'taking over / receiving (e.g., collecting a package or a body).' Not applicable to enforcement.

• 取り締まり（とりしまり） — enforcement, crackdown, regulation
• 取り扱い（とりあつかい） — handling, treatment
• 取り引き（とりひき） — transaction, business deal
• 引き取り（ひきとり） — taking over, receiving/collecting

こつ（コツ）means 'knack / trick / know-how.' 「ちょっとしたコツがある」is a common expression: 'there's a little knack to it.' The sentence means: 'To take good photos, there's a certain knack.'

• 1うで（腕）can mean 'skill/ability' (as in 腕がいい), but one would say 腕が必要 or 腕がいる, not ちょっとした腕がある in this context.
• 2かん（勘）means 'intuition.' While intuition can help, the set phrase ちょっとしたコツがある specifically refers to a learnable knack, not intuition.
• 4のう（脳）means 'brain.' ちょっとした脳がある is not a natural expression.

• コツ（こつ） — knack, trick, know-how
• 腕うで — arm; skill, ability
• 勘かん — intuition, sixth sense

見積もって (みつもって) is the correct choice. 見積もる means 'to estimate (a cost/price),' and the phrase 業者に見積もってもらった means 'had the company give an estimate for the moving costs.' This is the standard word used when asking a business for a price quote.

• 1見計らって (みからかって) means 'to judge by eye / to estimate roughly without precise measurement.' You might 見計らう the timing of something, but it is not used for getting a formal cost estimate from a business.
• 3見込んで (みこんで) means 'to expect / to anticipate / to count on.' You could 見込む a certain profit or outcome, but it does not mean 'to get an estimate.'
• 4見通して (みとおして) means 'to foresee / to see through / to predict.' It refers to looking ahead into the future, not to obtaining a price quotation.

• 見積みつもる — to estimate (cost/price), to quote
• 見計らう（みからかう） — to judge by eye, to time things appropriately
• 見込みこむ — to expect, to anticipate, to count on
• 見通みとおす — to foresee, to see through, to predict
