片方 (かたほう) means 'one of a pair' or 'one side.' Gloves come in pairs (a left and a right). The sentence says 'No matter how much I search, only （　） of the gloves can be found.' 片方しか見つからない ('only one of the pair is found') perfectly expresses that you can only find one glove but not its matching partner.

• 1半々 (はんはん) means 'half and half' or 'fifty-fifty,' used when something is split evenly into two halves. This doesn't apply to finding one glove out of a pair.
• 3反対 (はんたい) means 'opposite' or 'opposition.' While the two gloves are left and right (opposite sides), you don't say 'only the opposite was found' in this context.
• 4部分 (ぶぶん) means 'part' or 'portion,' used for a component of a whole. A single glove isn't a 'part' of a pair in the way this word is used; 片方 is the correct term for one item from a pair.

• 片方かたほう — one of a pair; one side
• 半々はんはん — half and half; fifty-fifty
• 反対はんたい — opposite; opposition
• 部分ぶぶん — part; portion; section

ためて (貯めて, from 貯める 'to save/accumulate') is correct. The sentence means 'I am saving money for the future.' お金をためる is the standard collocation for 'saving money.' The 〜ています form indicates an ongoing state or habitual action.

• 2のせて (乗せて, from 乗せる 'to place on/put on') does not fit. お金をのせる would mean 'to put money on (something),' which doesn't make sense with 将来のために.
• 3かさねて (重ねて, from 重ねる 'to pile up/repeat') could metaphorically relate to accumulating, but お金をかさねる is not the standard expression for saving money. The natural collocation is ためる.
• 4くわえて (加えて, from 加える 'to add') means 'to add (something to something else).' お金をくわえる is not a natural collocation for saving money; you would 加える money to an existing amount, but the sentence is about saving for the future, not adding to something.

• 貯ためる — to save (money), to accumulate
• 乗のせる — to place on, to put on (a vehicle)
• 重かさねる — to pile up, to repeat, to stack
• 加くわえる — to add, to include
