    Show answer

    Answer: 1. 問い合わせた

    照会した（しょうかいした）means 'made an inquiry, checked with (someone) about something.' 問い合わせた（といあわせた）means 'made an inquiry, contacted to ask,' which is the closest paraphrase.

    • 2申し込んだ（もうしこんだ）means 'applied for, made a request/offer.' 照会 is about asking for information, not applying.
    • 3知らせた（しらせた）means 'notified, informed.' 照会 is about asking, not telling.
    • 4訪ねた（たずねた）means 'visited (a place/person).' While 訪ねる can also mean 'to ask,' 照会 specifically means making an inquiry by contacting someone, not physically visiting.
    • 照会しょうかいした — made an inquiry, checked with someone about something
    • 問い合わせた（といあわせた） — made an inquiry, contacted to ask
    • 申し込んだ（もうしこんだ） — applied for, made a request/offer
    • 知しらせた — notified, informed
    • 訪たずねた — visited (a place/person)

    Answer: 3. 「300,000 円」と書いてあったのに、ゼロを一つ見落として 3 万円だと勘違いしていた。

    見落とす (みおとす) means 'to overlook, to fail to notice' — specifically, to miss something that is there because one didn't look carefully enough. Option 3 says the person overlooked one zero in '300,000 yen' and mistakenly thought it was 30,000 yen. This is a perfect example of failing to notice a detail that was present.

    • 1Not overlooking misconduct even if it's a close friend — this context implies intentionally not turning a blind eye. The appropriate word is 見逃す (みのがす, to let pass/ignore), which can be intentional. 見落とす is unintentional failure to notice.
    • 2Being overlooked/abandoned by a coach due to lack of improvement would be 見捨てられる (みすてられる, to be abandoned/forsaken). 見落とす does not mean to give up on someone.
    • 4Losing sight of a friend walking ahead in a crowd is 見失う (みうしなう, to lose sight of). 見落とす is about missing a detail, not losing track of a moving person.
    • 見落みおとす — to overlook, to fail to notice (a detail that is present)
    • 見逃みのがす — to let pass, to overlook/ignore (can be intentional)
    • 見失みうしなう — to lose sight of (a moving person or object)
