  1. 1.この場所にちゅうしゃしてはいけません。

    1. 1 駅車
    2. 2 駐車
    3. 3 停車
    4. 4 亭車
    Show answer

    Answer: 2. 駐車

    駐車 (ちゅうしゃ) means 'parking (a vehicle).' The sentence この場所に駐車してはいけません means 'You must not park in this place.' The verb 駐車する means 'to park,' and 駐車 is the standard kanji for this reading.

    • 1駅車 is not a real word. 駅 (えき) means 'station' and is a lookalike for 駐, but 駅車 does not exist as a compound.
    • 3停車 (ていしゃ) means 'stopping (a train/vehicle)' and has a different reading (ていしゃ, not ちゅうしゃ). It is used for trains stopping at a station, not for parking a car.
    • 4亭車 is not a real word. 亭 is a lookalike for 駐 but has no relevant meaning here.
    • 駐車ちゅうしゃ — parking (a vehicle)
    • 停車ていしゃ — stopping (a train/vehicle)
  2. 2.事務所が新しいビルにうつりました。

    1. 1 着りました
    2. 2 到りました
    3. 3 動りました
    4. 4 移りました
    Show answer

    Answer: 4. 移りました

    移りました (うつりました) is the past form of 移る (うつる), meaning 'to move/transfer (to a new location).' The sentence 事務所が新しいビルに移りました means 'The office moved to a new building.' This is the correct kanji and reading for うつる in the sense of relocating.

    • 1着りました is not a standard word. 着る (きる) means 'to wear (clothes),' and its past form is 着ました, not 着りました. The kanji 着 is a plausible lookalike but does not fit the reading うつ.
    • 2到りました is not a standard word. 到着 (とうちゃく) means 'arrival,' but 到 alone does not form a verb with the reading うつ.
    • 3動りました would be read うごりました (past of 動く, うごく, 'to move'). The reading does not match うつりました, and 動く refers to physical movement rather than relocating to a new place.
    • うつ — to move/transfer to a new location
    • うご — to move (physically)
  3. 3.初めて日本のおんせんに行きました。

    1. 1 温泉
    2. 2 湯泉
    3. 3 温池
    4. 4 湯池
    Show answer

    Answer: 1. 温泉

    温泉 (おんせん) means 'hot spring.' The sentence 初めて日本の温泉に行きました means 'I went to a hot spring in Japan for the first time.' 温 (おん) means 'warm/hot' and 泉 (せん) means 'spring/fountain,' together forming the standard word for hot spring.

    • 2湯泉 is not a standard word. 湯 (ゆ) means 'hot water' and is a plausible lookalike, but the correct compound uses 温, not 湯.
    • 3温池 is not a standard word. 池 (いけ/ち) means 'pond,' not 'spring,' so this does not mean 'hot spring.'
    • 4湯池 is not a standard word. Both kanji are wrong — 湯 instead of 温 and 池 instead of 泉.
    • 温泉おんせん — hot spring
    • せん — spring, fountain
  4. 4.外国のざっしを買ってきました。

    1. 1 稚志
    2. 2 雑誌
    3. 3 稚誌
    4. 4 雑志
    Show answer

    Answer: 2. 雑誌

    雑誌 (ざっし) means 'magazine.' The sentence 外国の雑誌を買ってきました means 'I bought a foreign magazine.' 雑 (ざつ) means 'miscellaneous/various' and 誌 (し) means 'record/publication,' together forming the standard word for magazine.

    • 1稚志 is not a real word. 稚 (ち) is a lookalike for 雑 and means 'young/immature,' and 志 is a simplified lookalike for 誌, but this compound does not exist.
    • 3稚誌 is not a real word. 稚 is again a lookalike for 雑 but does not carry the meaning needed here.
    • 4雑志 is not the standard orthography. While 志 and 誌 share the same reading (し), the correct kanji for 'magazine' uses 誌 (with the 言 radical), not 志.
    • 雑誌ざっし — magazine
    • — record, publication (used in magazine, etc.)
  5. 5.ときどき母の料理がこいしくなります。

    1. 1 恋しく
    2. 2 愛しく
    3. 3 親しく
    4. 4 好しく
    Show answer

    Answer: 1. 恋しく

    恋しく (こいしく) is the adverbial form of 恋しい (こいしい), meaning 'to miss/long for (someone or something).' The sentence ときどき母の料理が恋しくなります means 'Sometimes I come to miss my mother's cooking.' 恋 (こい/れん) here carries the sense of yearning or longing.

    • 2愛しく is read いとしく (not こいしく), meaning 'dear, beloved.' The reading does not match, and the nuance is about cherishing rather than missing something.
    • 3親しく is read したしく (not こいしく), meaning 'close, intimate (relationship).' The reading and meaning are both wrong.
    • 4好しく is not a standard reading. 好 (す/こう) does not produce the reading こい, and this form is not used in standard Japanese.
    • こいしい — to miss, to long for
    • いとしい — dear, beloved
    • したしい — close, intimate
  1. 6.私たちの( )は、今度の大会で1位になることです。

    1. 1 予報
    2. 2 目標
    3. 3 効果
    4. 4 完成
    Show answer

    Answer: 2. 目標

    目標 (もくひょう) means 'goal' or 'target'. The sentence translates to 'Our goal is to take 1st place in the next tournament.' This fits perfectly with the context of aiming for 1st place.

    • 1予報 (よほう) means 'forecast' (e.g., weather forecast). It does not fit the context of aiming for a tournament victory.
    • 3効果 (こうか) means 'effect' or 'result'. You cannot say your 'effect' is to win 1st place.
    • 4完成 (かんせい) means 'completion'. It is a noun referring to something being finished, not an aim or goal.
    • 目標もくひょう — goal, target, objective
    • 予報よほう — forecast, prediction
    • 効果こうか — effect, effectiveness
    • 完成かんせい — completion
  2. 7.ゆうべ、寝ていたとき、大きな音がして目が( )。

    1. 1 驚いた
    2. 2 覚めた
    3. 3 感じた
    4. 4 気付いた
    Show answer

    Answer: 2. 覚めた

    覚めた (さめた) is the past tense of 覚める (to wake up). The phrase 目が覚める (めがさめる) is a fixed expression meaning 'to wake up'. The sentence means 'Last night, while I was sleeping, there was a loud noise and I woke up.'

    • 1驚いた (おどろいた) means 'was surprised'. While a loud noise might surprise you, '目が驚いた' is not a natural Japanese expression for waking up.
    • 3感じた (かんじた) means 'felt'. '目が感じた' is unnatural in this context.
    • 4気付いた (きづいた) means 'noticed' or 'realized'. '目が気付いた' is grammatically and semantically incorrect for waking up.
    • 目が覚める(めがさめる) — to wake up (literally: eyes open/wake)
    • おどろ — to be surprised
    • かんじる — to feel
    • 気付きづ — to notice, to realize
  3. 8.今度のレポートは、環境問題という( )で書こうと思います。

    1. 1 プログラム
    2. 2 ヒント
    3. 3 テーマ
    4. 4 インフォメーション
    Show answer

    Answer: 3. テーマ

    テーマ means 'theme' or 'topic'. The sentence means 'For this report, I intend to write on the theme of environmental problems.' The phrase 〜というテーマで (on the theme of...) is the correct collocation.

    • 1プログラム (program) refers to a schedule or software program, not a topic for a report.
    • 2ヒント (hint) refers to a clue or suggestion, not the main subject of a report.
    • 4インフォメーション (information) refers to data or facts in general, not a specific subject or theme to write about.
    • テーマ(てーま) — theme, topic
    • プログラム(ぷろぐらむ) — program
    • ヒント(ひんと) — hint, clue
    • インフォメーション(いんふぉーめーしょん) — information
  4. 9.袋の底に( )があいていたので、入れたお菓子がいくつか落ちてしまった。

    1. 1
    2. 2
    3. 3 けが
    4. 4 汚れ
    Show answer

    Answer: 1.

    穴 (あな) means 'hole'. The verb あく (to open) pairs naturally with 穴 (穴があく = a hole opens/is open). The sentence means 'There was a hole in the bottom of the bag, so some of the snacks I put in fell out.'

    • 2傷 (きず) means 'scratch' or 'flaw'. While a bag can get scratched, a scratch wouldn't cause snacks to fall out, and the collocation is 傷がつく rather than 傷があく.
    • 3けが (怪我) means 'injury'. A bag cannot get an injury.
    • 4汚れ (よごれ) means 'dirt' or 'stain'. A stain would not cause items to fall out of a bag.
    • あな — hole
    • きず — scratch, wound, flaw
    • けが — injury
    • よご — dirt, stain
  5. 10.今度の旅行は、交通費が 5,000 円で、ホテル代が 10,000 円なので、( ) 15,000 円かかります。

    1. 1 合計
    2. 2 共通
    3. 3 全体
    4. 4 集中
    Show answer

    Answer: 1. 合計

    合計 (ごうけい) means 'total' or 'sum'. The sentence is adding two amounts (5,000 yen + 10,000 yen), so '合計 15,000 円' (a total of 15,000 yen) is the correct choice.

    • 2共通 (きょうつう) means 'common' or 'shared'. It does not refer to a mathematical sum.
    • 3全体 (ぜんたい) means 'the whole' or 'entirety'. While it refers to the whole group/thing, it is not used for adding numbers together.
    • 4集中 (しゅうちゅう) means 'concentration' or 'focusing'. It is completely unrelated to calculating costs.
    • 合計ごうけい — total, sum
    • 共通きょうつう — common, shared
    • 全体ぜんたい — whole, entirety
    • 集中しゅうちゅう — concentration
