N3 Grammar · Test 22

に (に) is used here to list multiple items: おすしにカレーにラーメン = 'sushi, curry, and ramen.' The pattern Noun1にNoun2にNoun3 is a common way to enumerate items, often followed by なんでも (everything). This fits the sentence: 'The sushi shop we're going to has sushi, curry, ramen — everything.'

• 1で／で (で／で) — で is the te-form of the copula だ, used to connect nouns in a list (おすしでカレーでラーメン). However, this pattern is used to simply link nouns in a neutral enumeration, and it does not pair naturally with なんでもありますよ in this conversational context. The に listing pattern is the standard choice here.
• 2が／が (が／が) — が is the subject marker. おすしがカレーがラーメン would mark each as a subject, which is grammatically unnatural for listing items in this context.
• 4は／は (は／は) — は is the topic marker. Using は for each item (おすしはカレーはラーメン) would create multiple topic markers, which is unnatural for simple listing.

• ～に～に — (listing) Noun1, Noun2, and Noun3 — used to enumerate multiple items
• なんでも — anything; everything

The pattern being tested is ～ば～ほど (the more…, the more…). The full sentence reads 駅に近ければ近いほど、高くなりますので (The closer to the station, the more expensive it becomes). 近ければ is the ば-form (conditional) of the i-adjective 近い (ちかい, close), which is required as the first half of this correlative pattern.

• 1近いから uses から (because/since), which does not pair with ほうど to form the 'the more… the more…' pattern.
• 2近くて is the te-form of 近い, used to link clauses ('close and…'), not for the conditional pattern.
• 3近くても means 'even if it is close,' a concessive form that does not fit the ～ば～ほど structure.

• 近ちかい — close, near
• ～ば～ほど — the more… the more…

どうしても…思い出せなくて means 'I just can't remember (the title).' 思い出せなくて is the te-form of the negative potential 思い出せない (can't recall). The context — A found the movie interesting but is frustrated — calls for 'unable to remember.'

• 1思い出せそうで means 'it seems like I can remember,' which is the opposite of the intended meaning (she cannot remember).
• 3思い出してきて is the te-form of 思い出してくる (to start remembering / to remember and bring back), suggesting the memory is coming, which contradicts the context.
• 4思い出させないで is the negative causative-te form meaning 'don't make (me) remember,' which is grammatically and semantically out of place here.

• 思い出す（おもいだす） — to recall, to remember
• 思い出せない（おもいだせない） — cannot recall (negative potential)
• どうしても — no matter what, try as one might

The staff is telling the caller that anyone who lives in Minami City can borrow books. 借りられます is the potential form of 借りる (to borrow), meaning 'can borrow.' The subject is どなたでも (anyone), so a plain potential form is the natural, correct choice.

• 2借りてくださいます uses ～てくださる (someone does something for the speaker's benefit). Here the staff is not asking the caller to borrow for their benefit; it describes the caller's own ability/permission.
• 3お借りいたします is 謙譲語 (humble language) of 借りる, meaning 'I humbly borrow.' The staff is not borrowing — the caller is — so this is the wrong honorific direction.
• 4お借りいただきます is 尊敬語/謙譲語 meaning 'I have you borrow,' which is grammatically possible but does not convey the simple 'can borrow' meaning and sounds unnatural in this explanatory context.

• 借かりる — to borrow
• 借かりられる — can borrow (potential form)
• お～いただく — humble: to receive the favor of someone doing something

にまで means 'even to (the point of).' The verb 聞こえる (to be audible) takes に to mark where the sound reaches. Adding まで emphasizes 'even as far as the neighbors.' お隣にまで聞こえるよ = 'It can be heard even by the neighbors.'

• 1までで combines まで (until/even) with で (location/means particle). 聞こえる does not take で for its destination, so this is ungrammatical here.
• 2でまで would mean 'even by means of,' which is semantically wrong — the sound is not a means but something reaching a location.
• 3までに means 'by (a deadline/time)' or 'up to a point,' typically used with time expressions, not with a place like お隣 in this construction.

• 聞きこえる — to be audible, to be heard
• お隣（おとなり） — next door, the neighbor(s)
• にまで — even to (the extent/place of)

The correct answer is 1 (だけ). だけ means 'just, only.' The sentence means: 'Then, just pass along the message: Take care of your health.' The daughter is telling her mother to simply convey that one message — 体に気をつけてとだけ伝えておいてよ ('just tell him to take care of himself'). だけ restricts the message to that one thing, which fits the casual, brief nature of the request.

• 2なら is a conditional particle ('if'). 体に気をつけてとなら伝えておいてよ does not form a grammatical or meaningful sentence here. There is no conditional relationship.
• 3しか means 'only' but must be followed by a negative predicate (しか〜ない). Since 伝えておいて is affirmative, しか is grammatically incompatible.
• 4にも means 'also to / even to.' 体に気をつけてとにも伝えておいてよ is grammatically broken — にも cannot follow the quoting particle と in this way.

• だけ — just, only
• 伝言でんごん — message (to be passed on)
• 伝つたえておく — to pass on a message (and leave it done for later)
• 体に気をつける（からだにきをつける） — to take care of one's health

The student is apologizing for forgetting a book that Honda-sensei lent them. The structure 貸していただく means 'to have someone lend me something' (humble receiving of a favor). Here, 貸していただいた本 means 'the book I had sensei lend me / the book I borrowed from sensei.' The speaker (student) is the one receiving the favor, so the humble receiving form いただく is appropriate. The student's perspective ('I received the favor of you lending me the book') fits the apologetic context perfectly.

• 1さしあげた is the humble form of あげる (giving to a superior). 貸してさしあげた would mean 'I lent (the book) to sensei,' which reverses the direction — the student borrowed the book, not lent it.
• 3いらっしゃった is the honorific form of いる/行く/来る. It has nothing to do with lending or borrowing, so it does not fit here.
• 4くださった is the honorific form of くれる (someone gives me). 貸してくださった本 ('the book sensei lent me') is grammatically valid, but いただいた is the better choice because it emphasizes the speaker's receipt of the favor, which is more natural in an apologetic context where the student focuses on 'I borrowed/received this book from you.'

• 貸かす — to lend
• 〜ていただく — to humbly receive a favor (someone does something for me)
• 〜てさしあげる — to humbly do a favor for a superior
• 〜てくださる — someone kindly does something for me (honorific giving)

The sentence describes what sensei did: sensei looked at the magazine containing Nishida's paper. Since this is sensei's action (a respected person's action), an honorific form of 見る is needed. ご覧になる (ごらんになる) is the honorific form of 見る, used to show respect to the person performing the action. 雑誌をご覧になる = 'sensei looked at the magazine.'

• 1拝見する (はいけんする) is the humble form of 見る, used for the speaker's own action. Here the subject is sensei, not the speaker, so a humble form is inappropriate.
• 2お目にかかる (おめにかかる) is the humble form of 会う ('to meet'). It means 'to humbly meet someone,' which is unrelated to looking at a magazine.
• 4お読みする (およみする) is the humble form of 読む ('to read'), used for the speaker's own action. Since the subject is sensei, a humble form is wrong; an honorific form is needed.

• ご覧になる（ごらんになる） — honorific form of 見る (to look/see); used for a respected person's action
• 拝見はいけんする — humble form of 見る; used for one's own action
• お目にかかる（おめにかかる） — humble form of 会う; to meet (someone of higher status)
• お読みする（およみする） — humble form of 読む; to read (one's own action)

B is correcting A and expressing mild frustration: 'I just told you, so why do you forget?' さっき教えたばかり means 'I just told you (moments ago).' のに means 'even though,' expressing the speaker's surprise or mild complaint that despite being told just now, A still forgot. ばかりなのに = 'even though (I) just (did).' This perfectly captures B's tone of 'I literally just told you, yet you forgot.'

• 1あとなのに means 'even though (it is) after.' With さっき教えたあと, it would mean 'even though it is after I told you earlier,' which is awkward and unnatural. あと typically follows a noun or event, not a verb in past tense like this.
• 2あとだから means 'because it is after.' だから gives a reason, but the sentence asks どうして忘れちゃうの ('why do you forget?'), which expects a contrast ('even though'), not a reason ('because').
• 4ばかりだから means 'because (I) just (told you).' だから provides a reason, but the question どうして忘れちゃうの expects a contrast — 'even though I just told you, why did you forget?' — so のに is needed, not だから.

• 〜ばかり — just did; indicates an action was completed very recently
• 〜のに — even though; despite (expresses contrast, often with surprise or complaint)
• 〜だから — because; therefore (gives a reason)

Takayama says he wants to win for the fans who always support him. ためにも means 'also for the sake of' or 'for the benefit of (as well).' ファンのためにも勝ちたい = 'I want to win for the sake of the fans too.' The も adds the nuance of 'as well as other motivations,' which fits an athlete expressing gratitude and determination.

• 2ようににも is not a valid grammatical construction. ように means 'so that / in order to,' but ようにも does not form a natural pattern here.
• 3おかげでも would mean 'thanks to... as well,' but おかげ is used to express gratitude for a result that already happened ('thanks to X, I was able to...'), not for a future goal like 勝ちたい ('want to win').
• 4ときでも means 'even when / even at the time of.' ファンのときでも would mean 'even when it's the fans' time,' which is nonsensical in this context.

• 〜ためにも — also for the sake of; for the benefit of (someone) as well
• 応援おうえんする — to support; to cheer for
• 勝かちたい — want to win (from 勝つ)
