サービス (service) is correct. The phrase「サービスが良い」(the service is good) is a common collocation for hotels, restaurants, etc. The sentence means: 'This hotel has good service, so the guests seem satisfied.'

• 2チッブ is not a standard Japanese word. The intended distractor is likely チップ (tip), which refers to a gratuity. Even if it were チップ, 'tips being good' does not explain why guests are satisfied in the way service does.
• 3リズム (rhythm) does not collocate with「が良い」in a hotel context. Rhythm is irrelevant to hotel guest satisfaction.
• 4スピード (speed) could relate to fast check-in etc., but「スピードが良い」is not a natural collocation (one would say「スピードが速い」), and it does not broadly explain guest satisfaction the way service does.

• サービス — service (customer service, hospitality)
• 満足まんぞく — satisfaction, contentment

こい (濃い) is correct. For tea (お茶), the natural antonym of うすい (薄い, weak/thin tea) is こい (濃い, strong/thick tea). The collocation「濃いお茶」is standard. The sentence means: 'I prefer strong tea to weak tea.'

• 1つよい (強い) means 'strong' but is used for physical strength, intensity of wind, etc. One does not say「強いお茶」for tea concentration.
• 3おもい (重い) means 'heavy.' It is used for weight (重い荷物) or seriousness (重い病気), not for tea concentration.
• 4ふかい (深い) means 'deep.' It is used for depth (深い海), relationships (深い関係), or color (深い色), but not for tea concentration.

• 濃こい — thick, strong, concentrated (for tea, coffee, colors)
• 薄うすい — thin, weak, diluted (for tea, coffee, colors)

広い (ひろい) is correct. The idiom「顔が広い」(literally 'one's face is wide') means 'to have many acquaintances, to be well-connected.' The sentence means: 'He is well-connected, so if we ask him, he will probably introduce us to a good person.'

• 1大きい (おおきい) means 'big.'「顔が大きい」is not an idiom meaning well-connected; it could literally mean a big face or figuratively mean someone is arrogant/presumptuous, but not 'having many connections.'
• 2太い (ふとい) means 'thick.'「顔が太い」is not a standard idiom. (There is「太い神経」for thick-skinned, but that is unrelated.)
• 3多い (おおい) means 'many.' While one might think 'many faces = many connections,'「顔が多い」is not a set expression in Japanese.

• 顔が広い（かおがひろい） — to have many acquaintances, to be well-connected
• 頼たのむ — to ask, to request, to entrust
• 紹介しょうかいする — to introduce (a person)

ばったり (4) means 'unexpectedly / by chance,' especially used for bumping into someone you know. The sentence '今、そこの駅前で田中さんにばったり会った' means 'Just now, I bumped into Tanaka by chance in front of the station over there.' This fits perfectly because meeting someone at a station is an unplanned, coincidental encounter.

• 1ときどき (時々) means 'sometimes / occasionally,' describing frequency of a recurring event. Meeting someone just now at a station is a single event, not a habitual one, so this doesn't fit.
• 2たまに (偶に) means 'once in a while / rarely,' also describing frequency. Like option 1, it implies a repeated action, which doesn't match the one-time encounter described here.
• 3つい means 'unintentionally / inadvertently' or 'just now / recently.' While it can describe an accidental action, it doesn't specifically convey the sense of unexpectedly running into someone the way ばったり does.

• ばったり — unexpectedly, by chance (esp. meeting someone)
• ときどき — sometimes, occasionally
• たまに — once in a while, rarely
• つい — unintentionally; just now

がっかり (1) means 'disappointed.' がっかりする is a common phrase meaning 'to be disappointed / to be discouraged.' The sentence '試験に落ちたからといってがっかりしないでください' means 'Even though you failed the exam, please don't be disappointed.' This is the natural and correct collocation.

• 2しっかり means 'firmly / reliably / steadily.' しっかりする means 'to pull oneself together / to be steady,' which doesn't fit the context of consoling someone who failed an exam.
• 3すっかり means 'completely / entirely.' すっかりする is not a standard phrase, and it doesn't convey the emotional response of disappointment.
• 4うっかり means 'carelessly / inadvertently.' うっかりする means 'to be careless / to let one's guard down,' which doesn't fit the emotional context of failing an exam.

• がっかり — disappointed, discouraged
• しっかり — firmly, reliably, steadily
• すっかり — completely, entirely
• うっかり — carelessly, inadvertently

特色 (とくしょく) means 'distinctive feature, characteristic.' The definition 'その物が本来持っていて、ほかにはない目立つ点' (a notable point that something inherently possesses and that others do not have) directly describes a distinctive feature, making 特色 the correct answer.

• 1傾向 (けいこう) means 'tendency, trend' — a general direction or inclination, not an inherent distinguishing point.
• 3異常 (いじょう) means 'abnormality, anomaly' — something deviating from the norm, not a characteristic feature.
• 4才能 (さいのう) means 'talent, ability' — a personal aptitude, not a distinguishing feature of a thing.

• 特色とくしょく — distinctive feature, characteristic
• 傾向けいこう — tendency, trend
• 異常いじょう — abnormality, anomaly
• 才能さいのう — talent, ability

にらむ means 'to glare at, to stare fixedly (with hostility or suspicion).' The definition '怖い目でじっと見る' (to look fixedly with frightening eyes) matches にらむ perfectly.

• 1のぞく means 'to peek, to take a quick look' — a brief glance, not a threatening stare.
• 2にくむ means 'to hate, to detest' — an emotional attitude, not a way of looking.
• 4ねらう means 'to aim at, to target' — focusing on a target, not glaring with scary eyes.

• にらむ — to glare at, to stare fixedly (with hostility)
• のぞく — to peek, to take a quick look
• にくむ — to hate, to detest
• ねらう — to aim at, to target

メニュー means 'menu' — a list of dishes and prices at a restaurant. The definition 'レストランなどで料理の名前やねだんを示した表' (a chart showing dish names and prices at a restaurant, etc.) is exactly what a menu is.

• 1ランチ means 'lunch' — a meal or meal set, not the list of dishes and prices.
• 3セット means 'set' — a combination meal, not the list itself.
• 4サービス means 'service' — hospitality or free extras, not the menu list.

• メニュー — menu (list of dishes and prices at a restaurant)
• ランチ — lunch
• セット — set (combination meal)
• サービス — service

くたくた is an onomatopoeic/mimetic word meaning 'exhausted, worn out, dead tired.' It directly describes the state of being ひどく疲れている (terribly exhausted).

• 2いらいら means 'irritated, frustrated' — describes annoyance/impatience, not physical exhaustion.
• 3まごまご means 'bewildered, flustered, at a loss' — describes confusion, not tiredness.
• 4のろのろ means 'sluggishly, slowly' — describes slow movement, not the state of being exhausted.

• くたくた — exhausted, worn out, dead tired
• いらいら — irritated, frustrated
• まごまご — bewildered, flustered, at a loss
• のろのろ — sluggishly, slowly

The sentence is 「本当かどうか信用できない。」('I can't trust whether it's true or not.'). The blank asks for a word meaning 'suspicious/doubtful.' Option 4, あやしい (怪しい), means 'suspicious, doubtful, dubious' — exactly the feeling of not being able to trust something. 「あやしい」fits perfectly: 'It's suspicious — I can't trust whether it's true.'

• 1つらい (辛い) means 'painful, hard, tough.' It describes emotional or physical hardship, not suspicion or distrust.
• 2くやしい (悔しい) means 'frustrating, regretful.' It describes the feeling of resentment over an undesirable outcome, not doubt.
• 3ずるい (狡い) means 'sly, cunning, unfair.' It describes a person or action that is deceitful, not the state of being untrustworthy or doubtful.

• 怪あやしい — suspicious, doubtful, dubious
• 辛つらい — painful, hard, tough
• 悔くやしい — frustrating, regretful
• 狡ずるい — sly, cunning, unfair
