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 — parking (a vehicle)
停車 — stopping (a train/vehicle)
2.事務所が新しいビルにうつりました。
1着りました
2到りました
3動りました
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.
移る — to move/transfer to a new location
動く — to move (physically)
3.初めて日本のおんせんに行きました。
1温泉
2湯泉
3温池
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 — hot spring
泉 — spring, fountain
4.外国のざっしを買ってきました。
1稚志
2雑誌
3稚誌
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 — magazine
誌 — record, publication (used in magazine, etc.)
5.ときどき母の料理がこいしくなります。
1恋しく
2愛しく
3親しく
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.
恋しい — to miss, to long for
愛しい — dear, beloved
親しい — close, intimate
6.私たちの( )は、今度の大会で1位になることです。
1予報
2目標
3効果
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 — goal, target, objective
予報 — forecast, prediction
効果 — effect, effectiveness
完成 — completion
7.ゆうべ、寝ていたとき、大きな音がして目が( )。
1驚いた
2覚めた
3感じた
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)
驚く — to be surprised
感じる — to feel
気付く — to notice, to realize
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プログラム
2ヒント
3テーマ
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
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穴
2傷
3けが
4汚れ
Show answer
Answer: 1. 穴
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.
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 — total, sum
共通 — common, shared
全体 — whole, entirety
集中 — concentration
