N4 Grammar · Test 4

で marks the material or ingredient used to make/create something. Here, the tomatoes that the speaker's mother raised are the material from which juice was made, so で is correct: 'I made juice from the tomatoes my mother grew.'

• 2に does not mark the material/ingredient used to make something. に can mark a destination or a result of a change, but not the raw material here.
• 3へ marks direction of movement (toward a destination), which does not fit 'made juice from tomatoes.'
• 4や means 'and' (incomplete list, 'things like A and B'), which cannot connect トマト to ジュースを作りました in this sentence.

• 育そだてる — to raise, to grow (plants/children)
• で — particle marking material/means used to make or do something

に marks the purpose or context for which something is convenient. 旅行に便利です means 'convenient for travel.' The adjective 便利 takes に to express 'convenient for ~.'

• 1と means 'and/with' and cannot express 'convenient for travel.'
• 2を marks the direct object of a transitive verb, but 便利です is a na-adjective (copula), not a transitive verb.
• 4の would make 旅行の便利, a noun-modifying phrase, but 便利です is being used as a predicate adjective here, so の does not fit.

• 軽かるい — light (in weight)
• 旅行りょこう — travel, trip
• 便利べんり — convenient

ずつ means 'each' or 'at a time,' distributing an action equally. 一人ずつ means 'one person at a time.' The teacher is asking each student to do a self-introduction one by one, so ずつ is correct.

• 1など means 'etc.' / 'things like,' which does not convey the 'one by one' distribution needed here.
• 3しか means 'only' and must be followed by a negative verb form (e.g., 一人しか…ない). It does not fit this affirmative request.
• 4も means 'also/even.' 一人も would typically pair with a negative (一人も…ない = 'not even one person'), so it does not fit here.

• 一人ひとりずつ — one person at a time, each person
• 自己紹介じこしょうかい — self-introduction

でも attached to a question word means 'any.' だれでも means 'anyone.' The sentence says 'Today I'll teach you how to make a cake that anyone can easily make,' so でも is correct.

• 1で marks means/method, but だれで does not produce a natural meaning like 'anyone' here.
• 2は is a topic marker. だれは is not a natural construction and does not mean 'anyone.'
• 4なら means 'if' / 'in the case of.' だれなら would mean 'if it's someone…,' which does not convey 'anyone can make it.'

• だれでも — anyone, whoever
• 簡単かんたん — easy, simple
• 作り方（つくりかた） — how to make, method of making

いつか means 'someday' / 'at some point in the future.' The sentence expresses a future aspiration: 'I study hard and want to go to a foreign university someday,' so いつか is correct.

• 1すっかり means 'completely/entirely,' which does not fit the idea of a future aspiration to go abroad.
• 2たぶん means 'probably.' While it can express uncertainty, it does not convey the 'someday' future-point meaning needed here.
• 3やっと means 'finally/with difficulty (after effort).' It implies something has already been achieved after struggle, but the speaker is expressing a future hope, not a completed result.

• 一生懸命いっしょうけんめい — with all one's effort, very hard
• いつか — someday, at some point
• 外国がいこく — foreign country

The correct order is 2→3→1→4: れいぞうこに 父が 買ってきた ケーキが 残っていたので、食べました。('Because there was cake left in the fridge that my father had bought, I ate it.')

The correct order is 3→2→4→1: 大事な 話の とちゅうで 電話が かかってきた。('In the middle of an important conversation, a phone call came.') The ★ is in the third position, so the answer is 4 (で). The phrase 話のとちゅうで means 'in the middle of a conversation,' and 電話がかかってきた means 'a phone call came in.'

• 1電話 belongs in the fourth slot, as the subject of かかってきた: 電話がかかってきた.
• 2とちゅう belongs in the second slot, forming 話のとちゅうで: 'in the middle of the talk.'

The correct order is 3→4→1→2: ろうかがぬれています。歩くときはすべらないように注意してください。('The hallway is wet. When you walk, please be careful not to slip.') The ★ is in the third position, so the answer is 1 (ように). The pattern 〜ように注意する means 'to be careful to do/not do something,' and すべらないように means 'so as not to slip.'

The correct order is 1→4→2→3: 来週、会社の近くにひっこしをすることにしました。('Next week, I decided to move to a place near my office.') The ★ is in the third position, so the answer is 2 (する). The pattern 〜ことにしました means 'decided to do ~,' and the verb before ことに must be in dictionary form: ひっこしをすることにしました.

• 3ことに belongs in the fourth slot, completing ことにしました: 'decided to.'
• 4ひっこしを belongs in the second slot, as the object of する: ひっこしをする 'to move (house).'

The correct order is 4→2→1→3: 北町にある「さくら」という和食のお店は有名だそうです。('I heard that the Japanese restaurant called Sakura in Kitamachi is famous.') The ★ is in the third position, so the answer is 1 (和食のお店は). Here, ある modifies 「さくら」という和食のお店, and 〜そうです at the end indicates hearsay ('I heard that...').

• 2「さくら」という belongs in the second slot, naming the restaurant: ある「さくら」という和食のお店 'a Japanese restaurant called Sakura that exists.'
• 3有名だ belongs in the fourth slot, as the predicate: 有名だそうです 'I hear it is famous.'
• 4ある belongs in the first slot, modifying the restaurant: 北町にある 'that exists in Kitamachi.'
