かまいません means 'I don't mind / it's fine / go ahead.' The first speaker asks 'May I send a fax now?' and the reply 'ええ、かまいません' means 'Yes, that's fine / I don't mind.'

• 1おだいじに means 'please take care of yourself / get well soon,' used when someone is sick or when saying goodbye to someone unwell. It does not respond to a request for permission.
• 2こちらこそ means 'likewise / it is I who should say that,' used to return a greeting or expression of thanks. It does not fit here.
• 4しつれいします means 'excuse me / I'm being rude,' used when entering/leaving or interrupting. It is not a response granting permission.

• かまいません — I don't mind; it's fine (granting permission)

• 1いたい (痛い) means 'painful'—a street cannot be painful.
• 3よわい (弱い) means 'weak'—not a natural description of a dark street.
• 4かなしい (悲しい) means 'sad'—a street being dark does not make it 'sad'.

• こわい — 怖い - scary, frightening

• かなしい — 悲しい - sad
• とおり — 通 - street, road
• くらい — 暗い - dark

The sentence means 'I plan to live in Japan forever. それで (Therefore/So), I am studying Japanese now.' The first sentence is the reason; それで connects it to the resulting action, making it the correct conjunction.

• 1では means 'well then/in that case'—used to shift topics or conclude, not to show cause-and-effect here.
• 2けれど means 'but/however'—would imply contrast, but studying Japanese is a logical consequence, not a contradiction.
• 4たとえば means 'for example'—studying Japanese is not an example of living in Japan.

• それで — therefore, so (connects cause to result)
• では — well then, in that case
• けれど — but, however
• たとえば — for example
• つもり — intention, plan

The sentence means 'This meat is hard, so please chew it well before eating.' かんで is the te-form of かむ (噛む), 'to chew', which fits perfectly: よくかんで (chew well) + 食べてください (please eat).

• 2こんで is not a valid/common verb te-form in this context. There is no standard verb こんむ that means something relevant to eating meat.
• 3のんで (飲んで) means 'drinking' (from 飲む). You do not drink meat, so this is semantically wrong.
• 4やんで is not an appropriate word here. やむ (止む) means 'to stop (rain etc.)' and does not fit the context of eating meat.

• かむ（噛む） — to chew
• かたい（硬い） — hard, firm
• にく — meat

The sentence means 'This glass doll is easily broken, so please don't touch it.' さわらないで (触らないで) is the negative te-form of さわる (触る), 'to touch', which fits the warning context perfectly.

• 1うつらないで could be from うつる (移る, 'to transfer/move') or (映る, 'to be reflected'). Neither means 'touch' and neither makes sense as a warning about a fragile doll.
• 3のこらないで (残らないで) is from のこる (残る), 'to remain/be left'. This does not fit the context of handling a fragile object.
• 4まわらないで (回らないで) is from まわる (回る), 'to turn/rotate'. This is not the appropriate warning for a fragile glass doll.

• さわる（触る） — to touch
• ガラス — glass
• にんぎょう — doll
• こわれやすい（壊れやすい） — easily broken, fragile
