N2 Vocabulary · Test 92

きっぷ is written 切符, meaning 'ticket'. This is the standard kanji writing; 符 is the kanji used in 符号 (sign/symbol) and fits the meaning of a ticket as an issued token.

• 2切布 is not a real word; 布 means 'cloth', chosen as a lookalike for 符.
• 3切付 is not a real word; 付 is a lookalike distractor with the same on-reading class.
• 4切府 is not a real word; 府 (as in 政府, 府県) is a lookalike distractor.

• 切符きっぷ — ticket
• 発売はつばい — first sale, release (of tickets/goods)
• 有効ゆうこう — valid, effective

はつばい is 発売, meaning 'release/first sale (of goods/tickets)'. 発売の日 means 'the day of release/sale'. This is the standard compound: 発 (issue/launch) + 売 (sell).

• 1発買 is not a real word; 買 (buy) is a lookalike distractor for 売 (sell).
• 3販売 (はんばい) means 'sale/selling' but is read はんばい, not はつばい, so it does not match the reading.
• 4販買 is not a real word; it combines 販 and 買 as lookalike distractors.

• 発売はつばい — release, first sale (of tickets/goods)
• 販売はんばい — sale, selling (as a business)

かぎり is 限り, meaning 'limit' or 'as long as / limited to'. 〜に限り means 'limited to ~ / only during ~', so 1か月に限り means 'limited to one month'.

• 1区切り (くぎり) means 'division/punctuation/section break'. It is read くぎり, not かぎり, and does not fit the grammar 〜に限り.
• 2可切り is not a real word; it is a lookalike distractor using 可 + 切り.
• 4期り is not a real word; 期 (period) is a lookalike distractor for 限.

• 限かぎり — limit; as long as; limited to (~に限り)
• 区切くぎり — division, punctuation, section break

ゆうこう is 有効, meaning 'valid/effective'. ゆうこうです at the end means 'is valid', so the ticket is valid for one month from the release date. 有 (have/exist) + 効 (effect) = effective/valid.

• 1有好 is not a real word; 好 (like/good) is a lookalike distractor for 効 (effect).
• 2優好 is not a real word; 優 (excellent) and 好 are lookalike distractors.
• 3優効 is not a real word; 優 is a lookalike distractor for 有 (both can be read ゆう).

• 有効ゆうこう — valid, effective
• 優ゆう/すぐ(れる) — excellent, superior
• 効こう/き(く) — effect, effectiveness

Option 2 (荷物) is the correct kanji for にもつ, meaning 'luggage' or 'baggage.' The sentence means: 'If the weight of the luggage exceeds 20 kg, an additional charge will be billed.' 荷(に) means 'baggage/cargo' and 物(もつ) means 'thing,' together forming 荷物(にもつ).

• 1Option 1 shows '＆物' which is mojibake (garbled characters). The intended kanji was likely 荷物, but the first character has been corrupted. This is a transcription defect, not a valid distractor.
• 3Option 3 shows '＆物' — same mojibake as option 1. This is a transcription defect.
• 4Option 4 shows '＆物' — same mojibake as options 1 and 3. This is a transcription defect.

• 荷物にもつ — luggage, baggage, cargo

The tested word is かいさつぐち, written 改札口 ('ticket gate'). 改 (かい) means 'to check/examine,' 札 (さつ) means 'ticket (slip),' and 口 (ぐち) means 'gate/entrance.' Option 1 is correct.

• 2開札口 uses 開 (かい, 'to open') instead of 改. 開札 is not a real compound; the correct kanji is 改 ('inspect').
• 3改礼口 uses 礼 (れい, 'courtesy/thanks') instead of 札. 改礼 is not a real word.
• 4開礼口 combines both wrong kanji 開 and 礼. This is not a real compound.

• 改札口かいさつぐち — ticket gate (at a station)
• 改札かいさつ — ticket inspection

The tested word is じょうしゃけん, written 乗車券 ('boarding ticket / train ticket'). 乗 (じょう) means 'to ride,' 車 (しゃ) means 'vehicle,' and 券 (けん) means 'ticket.' Option 3 is correct.

• 1上車券 uses 上 (じょう, 'above/up') instead of 乗. 上車 is not the correct compound for 'riding a vehicle.'
• 2上者券 uses 上 and 者 (しゃ/もの, 'person'). This is not a real word.
• 4乗者券 uses 者 (しゃ, 'person') instead of 車 (しゃ, 'vehicle'). 乗者 ('rider') is a possible word, but the standard term for a train ticket is 乗車券, not 乗者券.

• 乗車券じょうしゃけん — train ticket, boarding ticket

The tested word is ほそい, written 細い ('thin, narrow, slender'). The sentence says the robot can enter a narrow tube (くだ) that humans cannot. 細い (ほそい) describes the narrowness of the tube's diameter. Option 3 is correct.

• 1狭い (せまい) means 'narrow/cramped' and refers to a confined space. While semantically close, its reading is せまい, not ほそい, so it does not match the tested reading.
• 2弱い (よわい) means 'weak.' The reading and meaning do not match.
• 4鋭い (するどい) means 'sharp/keen.' The reading and meaning do not match.

• 細ほそい — thin, narrow, slender
• 狭せまい — narrow, cramped (space)

The tested word is くだ, written 管 ('pipe, tube'). The sentence describes a robot entering a narrow pipe that humans cannot fit into. 管 (くだ) is the standard word for a pipe/tube conduit. Option 2 is correct.

• 1箱 (はこ) means 'box.' The reading はこ does not match くだ, and a box is not something one enters 'into' in the same way.
• 3筒 (つつ/くだ) can also be read くだ, but it typically refers to a cylindrical container rather than a pipe/conduit. In the context of a robot entering a narrow passage, 管 is the standard and expected kanji. Note: 筒 can technically be read くだ, making this a deliberately plausible distractor, but 管 is the correct answer for this JLPT item.
• 4簡 (かん) means 'simple/brief' and is not read くだ. It is a lookalike kanji distractor.

• 管くだ — pipe, tube
• 筒つつ — cylinder, tube (container)

ぶひん is written 部品, meaning 'parts' or 'components.' In this sentence, the robot enters a narrow pipe and can replace parts (部品を交換する).

• 1部分 (ぶぶん) means 'part/section' of a whole, not a replaceable component. It also has the wrong reading (ぶぶん, not ぶひん).
• 2物分 is not a real word; it is a fabricated distractor using lookalike kanji.
• 3物品 (ぶっぴん) means 'goods/articles/items,' not machine parts. The reading is also different (ぶっぴん).

• 部品ぶひん — parts, components (of a machine)
• 部分ぶぶん — part, section (of a whole)
• 物品ぶっぴん — goods, articles, items
