「疑問」 means 'doubt / question.' The correct reading is 「ぎもん」. 疑(ぎ) = doubt, 問(もん) = question. Together: a question/doubt one has.

• 1「くもん」 uses the wrong reading く for 疑; this is not a valid reading.
• 2「きもん」 uses き for 疑, which is wrong.
• 3「ぐもん」 uses ぐ for 疑, which is wrong (though 九(く) and 愚(ぐ) may cause confusion).

• 疑問ぎもん — doubt, question

発表 is read はっぴょう (happyō). The kanji 発 is read はつ, but when followed by a kanji beginning with the 'h' row (here ひょう), the つ becomes a small っ (sokuon) and the 'h' often changes to a 'p' sound, resulting in はっぴょう. This is a common rendaku/sokuon pattern.

• 1はつひょう lacks the sokuon (small っ) and the 'p' sound change. This is the most plausible distractor because it uses the base reading はつ without applying the sound change.
• 3はつひよ is wrong both in lacking the sokuon and in reading 表 as ひよ instead of ひょう.
• 4はっぴょ has the sokuon but is missing the final う, so the long vowel is incorrect.

• 発表はっぴょう — announcement, publication
• 試験しけん — exam, examination
• 成績せいせき — grades, results, performance

単語 is read たんご (tango). 単 is read たん and 語 is read ご. Together they form たんご, meaning 'word' or 'vocabulary'.

• 1げいご is not a valid reading for 単語. The initial consonant is wrong.
• 2けいご is the reading for 敬語 (keigo), meaning 'honorific language'. This is a plausible distractor because it relates to language and has a similar sound.
• 3だんご is the reading for 団子 (dango), meaning 'dumpling'. This is a plausible distractor because the kanji 単 and 囗 look similar and the readings たん and だん are close.

• 単語たんご — word, vocabulary
• ページ（ぺーじ） — page

「たいりょう」is written 大量, meaning 'large quantity / in bulk'. The sentence means 'This shirt is produced in large quantities at a factory.' 大(たい) means 'big/large' and 量(りょう) means 'quantity/amount'.

• 1多量(たりょう) is a real word meaning 'a large amount', but it is read たりょう, not たいりょう.
• 2多料 is not a real word. 料(りょう) means 'fee/charge/ingredient' and is a lookalike for 量.
• 4大料 is not a real word. Both kanji are wrong lookalikes.

• 大量たいりょう — large quantity, in bulk
