    Answer: 2. 火曜日の午前か木曜日の夜

    Option 2 is correct. The question asks when you can consult about 住むところ (housing). Looking at the schedule in passage A, 住むところ・病院 appears under 火曜日 (Tuesday) in the 午前 column (10:00〜12:00) and under 木曜日 (Thursday) in the 夜 column (18:00〜20:00). Therefore, the correct answer is 火曜日の午前か木曜日の夜 (Tuesday morning or Thursday night).

    • 1火曜日の午前 is correct, but 木曜日の午前 is wrong — on Thursday, 住むところ・病院 is offered at 夜 (night), not 午前 (morning). Thursday morning has no consultation listed at all.
    • 3木曜日の午後 is wrong — Thursday has 住むところ・病院 at 夜, not 午後. 土曜日の午前 is also wrong — Saturday morning offers 国際結婚, not 住むところ.
    • 4木曜日の午後 is wrong (it's at 夜, not 午後). 土曜日の夜 is also wrong — Saturday night offers 子どもの学校や教育, not 住むところ.
    • 住すむところ — housing, place to live
    • 相談そうだんできる — can consult / can get advice
    • 午前ごぜん — morning (AM)
    • 午後ごご — afternoon (PM)
    • 夜よる — night/evening

    Show answer

    Answer: 4. 17日の午前

    Option 4 is correct. The question asks when Lee can consult about 国際結婚 (international marriage) during this week and next week. From passage A, 国際結婚 consultation is available on: 金曜日 午後 (Friday 14:00〜16:00) and 土曜日 午前 (Saturday 10:00〜12:00). Now we check Lee's schedule in passage B to find when he is free: • 9日 (金) 午後: Lee works 14:00〜21:00 → overlaps with consultation time 14:00〜16:00, so he cannot go. • 10日 (土) 午前: Lee works 9:00〜15:00 → overlaps with consultation time 10:00〜12:00, so he cannot go. • 16日 (金) 午後: Lee works 9:00〜17:00 → overlaps with consultation time 14:00〜16:00, so he cannot go. • 17日 (土) 午前: Lee works 14:00〜21:00 → does NOT overlap with consultation time 10:00〜12:00, so he CAN go. Therefore, 17日の午前 (the morning of the 17th) is the only time Lee is free when 国際結婚 consultation is offered.

    • 19日の午後 (Friday afternoon): 国際結婚 consultation is indeed offered on Friday afternoon (14:00〜16:00), but Lee works 14:00〜21:00 on the 9th, so he is not free during that time.
    • 210日の午前 (Saturday morning): 国際結婚 consultation is offered on Saturday morning (10:00〜12:00), but Lee works 9:00〜15:00 on the 10th, so he is not free during that time.
    • 316日の午後 (Friday afternoon): 国際結婚 consultation is offered on Friday afternoon (14:00〜16:00), but Lee works 9:00〜17:00 on the 16th, so he is not free during that time.
    • 国際結婚こくさいけっこん — international marriage
