    Show answer

    Answer: 3. 200円

    The question asks how much someone who wants to rent (借りて) and ride a bicycle must pay. In the table, 自転車 shows お金 as 'ただ※' (free, with a note). The note below the table says: '※注意 自転車を借りる人は200円かかります' (Note: People who rent a bicycle will be charged 200 yen). Since the person wants to rent a bicycle, they must pay 200円. Option 3 is correct.

    • 1ただ (free) is the cost listed in the table for 自転車, but the ※ mark indicates there is an additional condition. The note clarifies that renting a bicycle costs 200円, so 'free' only applies if you do not rent one.
    • 2100円 is the fee for サッカー and バスケットボール, not for renting a bicycle.
    • 4300円 is the fee for 水泳 (swimming), not for renting a bicycle.
    • 借かりる — to rent, to borrow
    • 払はらう — to pay
    • ただ — free (of charge)
    • かかる — to cost, to be required (of money/time)

    Show answer

    Answer: 2. 10:00までに体たい育いく館かんに行きます。

    The question asks what a person must do first if they want to learn basketball rules and methods (ルールややり方) before participating in a match (試合). According to the passage, basketball rules and methods are taught in the morning (午前) session. The text says: 'バスケットボールは体育館に、10:00までに来てください' (For basketball, come to the gym by 10:00). The afternoon (午後) session is for matches, where you go to 受け付け by 13:00. Since the person wants to learn first, they must go to 体育館 by 10:00. Option 2 is correct.

    • 110:00までに受け付けに行きます — The correct location for the morning basketball lesson is 体育館, not 受け付け. 受け付け is where you go for the afternoon match session by 13:00.
    • 313:00までに受け付けに行きます — This is the instruction for the afternoon match (試合) session, not for learning rules and methods in the morning. The person wants to learn first, so they need to attend the morning session.
    • 413:00までに体育館に行きます — The time 13:00 is for the afternoon session at 受け付け, and the location 体育館 is for the morning session at 10:00. This option mixes the wrong time with the wrong context.
    • ルール — rules
    • やり方（やりかた） — how to do something, method
    • 習ならう — to learn, to be taught
    • 試合しあい — match, game
    • 受け付け（うけつけ） — reception, registration desk
    • 体育館たいいくかん — gymnasium, gym
