N3 Reading · Test 81

Option 3 (④と⑤) is correct. Taro is 17, lives in Yamanaka City, and has club activities all day Saturday. Let's check each condition: (1) Lives in the city — yes. (2) 16 or older — yes (17). (3) Can participate 2 or more times — he needs at least 2 slots. (4) Slots ③ and ⑥ require age 20+ — Taro is 17, so ③ and ⑥ are out. (5) Saturday slots ①, ②, ③ overlap with his club activities (morning to evening), so Saturday is unavailable. That leaves Sunday slots ④ (9AM–1PM) and ⑤ (1PM–6PM), which are both open to him and together satisfy the '2回以上' (2+ times) requirement. Therefore ④ and ⑤ are the slots he can apply for.

• 1① and ② are both Saturday slots. Taro has club activities from morning to evening on Saturdays, so he cannot do these. Also, ① alone or ② alone would only be 1 time, not meeting the 2+ requirement.
• 2② is Saturday (club conflict), and ③ is both Saturday and requires age 20+. Taro is 17 and busy on Saturdays, so neither works.
• 4⑤ is fine (Sunday, no age restriction), but ⑥ requires age 20+ and Taro is only 17, so ⑥ is unavailable.

• 応募資格おうぼしかく — application requirements/qualifications
• 先着順せんちゃくじゅん — first-come, first-served basis

• 夕方ゆうがた — evening (roughly late afternoon to early evening)

Option 1 is correct. The passage states under 申し込み方法: fill out the 別紙の応募用紙 (separate application form) and send by ファックスまたは郵送 (fax or mail). The deadline is 3月27日（金）午後5時, and it is 先着順 (first-come, first-served), so applying 'なるべく早く' (as early as possible) is the right approach. Option 1 captures all these points: by March 27, as early as possible, by mail or fax to the city office.

• 2The passage says to apply by fax or mail (ファックスまたは郵送), not by phone. The phone number is listed under 問い合わせ先 (inquiry contact), not as an application method. Also, '平日' (weekdays) is not mentioned anywhere.
• 3Email is listed under 問い合わせ先 (inquiry contact) for questions, not as an application method. The specified methods are fax or mail only.
• 4The passage says the application form is also available on the city office homepage (市役所ホームページにもございます), but you must submit it by fax or mail — not via the internet. There is no mention of online application.

• 郵送ゆうそう — sending by mail/post
