    Answer: 1. 呼びかける

    「呼びかける(よびかける)」means 'to call out to, to appeal to, to urge.' The sentence says: 'I decided to make posters and call on everyone to participate in the sports tournament.' The collocation「参加を呼びかける」(to urge/call for participation) is very common and natural.

    • 2「組み立てる(くみたてる)」means 'to assemble/construct' — used for building things like furniture or models, not for urging participation.
    • 3「待ち合わせる(まちあわせる)」means 'to arrange to meet' — unrelated to encouraging people to join an event.
    • 4「引っ張る(ひっぱる)」means 'to pull' — physically pulling something, unrelated to the context.
    • びかける — to call out to, to appeal to, to urge
    • 組み立てる(くみたてる) — to assemble, to construct
    • 待ち合わせる(まちあわせる) — to arrange to meet
    • 引っ張る(ひっぱる) — to pull
    • 参加さんか — participation

    Show answer

    Answer: 3. そっくり

    そっくり means 'exactly alike' or 'the spitting image.' The sentence says 'Those siblings have faces so alike you can't tell them apart, like twins.' 顔がそっくり is a common expression meaning 'look exactly alike,' which directly explains why you can't 区別 (distinguish) them.

    • 1はっきり means 'clearly' or 'distinctly.' 顔がはっきり would mean their faces are clear/sharp, which doesn't explain why you can't tell them apart — in fact it suggests the opposite.
    • 2うっかり means 'carelessly' or 'absentmindedly.' This describes a mental state of forgetfulness, not physical resemblance. 顔がうっかり makes no sense.
    • 4すっかり means 'completely' or 'entirely.' While it looks similar to そっくり, it modifies states/conditions (e.g., すっかり忘れた 'completely forgot'), not resemblance. 顔がすっかり doesn't convey 'looking alike.'
    • そっくり — exactly alike, the spitting image
    • はっきり — clearly, distinctly
    • うっかり — carelessly, absentmindedly
    • すっかり — completely, entirely
    • 区別くべつ — distinction, telling apart
