N3 Vocabulary · Test 86

当日 (とうじつ) means 'the day (of a particular event).' 大会の当日 means 'the day of the contest.' The sentence says 'Next Sunday is the speech contest. On the day of the contest, please come to the venue at 10 AM.' This is the natural word for referring to the actual day an event takes place.

• 1平日 (へいじつ) means 'weekday.' Sunday is not a weekday, so this is factually wrong in context.
• 2本日 (ほんじつ) means 'today.' The contest is next Sunday, not today, so this doesn't fit.
• 3先日 (せんじつ) means 'the other day/recently (past).' The contest hasn't happened yet, so referring to a past day makes no sense.

• 当日とうじつ — the day of the event
• 平日へいじつ — weekday
• 本日ほんじつ — today (formal)
• 先日せんじつ — the other day, recently
• 会場かいじょう — venue, event location

たたんで is the te-form of 畳む (たたむ), meaning 'to fold.' The sentence says: 'I neatly folded the sweater and put it away in the drawer of the dresser.' Folding clothing before storing it in a drawer is the natural action, making option 3 correct.

• 1締めて is the te-form of 締める (しめる), meaning 'to tighten/to fasten' (e.g., a belt, a necktie). You don't 'tighten' a sweater, so this doesn't fit.
• 2曲げて is the te-form of 曲げる (まげる), meaning 'to bend.' While you might loosely bend fabric, きちんと曲げて ('neatly bent') is not the proper action for storing a sweater in a drawer.
• 4むすんで is the te-form of 結ぶ (むすぶ), meaning 'to tie/to bind.' Tying a sweater is not a normal action when putting it away in a drawer.

• 畳たたむ — to fold (clothing, paper, etc.)
• 締しめる — to tighten; to fasten (a belt, tie, etc.)
• 曲まげる — to bend
• 結むすぶ — to tie; to bind
• たんす — dresser; chest of drawers
• 引き出し（ひきだし） — drawer
• しまう — to put away; to store
