「うんてん」means 'driving' and is written 運転. The sentence says 'My older brother can drive a car.'

• 2運軽 is not a real word; 軽（けい/かるい）means 'light' and does not fit.
• 3連転 is not a real word; 連（れん）means 'connect/sequence' and is a lookalike for 運.
• 4連軽 is not a real word; it combines both wrong kanji (連 and 軽).

• 運転うんてん — driving (a vehicle)

てつだって（手伝って）means 'helped.' ひっこしを手伝ってくれました means 'helped me with the move.' Since there was a lot of luggage, Yamada-san helped with the moving — this is the most natural and correct expression.

• 1はこんで（運んで）means 'transported/carried.' While 運ぶ can be used for carrying luggage, ひっこしを運ぶ (transport a move) is not a natural collocation. You would say 荷物を運ぶ, not ひっこしを運ぶ.
• 3かたづけて（片付けて）means 'tidied up/cleaned up/put away.' ひっこしを片付ける is not a natural expression; you might 片付ける a room or things, but not 'a move' itself.
• 4つつんで（包んで）means 'wrapped.' Wrapping a move (ひっこしを包む) makes no sense in this context.

• 手伝てつだう — to help, to assist
• 運はこぶ — to transport, to carry
• 片付かたづける — to tidy up, to put away
• 包つつむ — to wrap
• ひっこし — moving (引っ越し)

The sentence means 'I asked Mori-san the (　) why he didn't come to school last week.' 聞きました here means 'asked,' and what you ask someone about their absence is the reason. りゆう（理由）means 'reason,' so 先週学校に来なかった理由を聞きました = 'I asked the reason he didn't come to school last week.' This fits perfectly.

• 1れんらく（連絡）means 'contact / notification.' You might send a 連絡 about an absence, but you don't 聞く a 連絡 from someone in this context — and the sentence is about asking why, not about contacting.
• 3いけん（意見）means 'opinion.' Asking someone's opinion doesn't fit the context of why they were absent from school.
• 4そうだん（相談）means 'consultation / discussion.' You might 相談する with someone, but you don't 聞く a 相談 about an absence.

• 理由りゆう — reason
• 連絡れんらく — contact, notification
• 意見いけん — opinion
• 相談そうだん — consultation, discussion

The sentence means 'Please don't (　); please eat a lot.' えんりょ（遠慮）means 'holding back / restraint / hesitation,' and 遠慮しないで is a very common set phrase meaning 'don't hold back / don't be shy (about eating, etc.).' どうぞ遠慮しないで、たくさん食べてください = 'Please don't hold back and eat a lot.' This is the natural expression.

• 1しつれい（失礼）means 'rudeness / impoliteness.' 失礼しないで would mean 'don't be rude,' which doesn't fit the context of encouraging someone to eat.
• 3ちゅうい（注意）means 'caution / attention / warning.' 注意しないで = 'don't pay attention / don't be careful,' which makes no sense here.
• 4はんたい（反対）means 'opposition.' 反対しないで = 'don't oppose,' which is unrelated to eating.

• 遠慮えんりょ — restraint, holding back, hesitation
• 失礼しつれい — rudeness, impoliteness
• 注意ちゅうい — caution, attention, warning
• 反対はんたい — opposition

The sentence means 'I give it food, take it for walks, and every day I do (　) for the dog.' せわ（世話）means 'care / looking after,' and 世話をする is the standard phrase for 'taking care of (a pet, a person, etc.).' Feeding and walking a dog are exactly what 犬の世話をする entails. 毎日犬の世話をしています = 'I take care of the dog every day.'

• 2うんどう（運動）means 'exercise.' While walking a dog involves exercise, 運動をする doesn't naturally encompass feeding, and the phrase 犬の運動をする is not the idiomatic way to say 'taking care of a dog.'
• 3ようい（用意）means 'preparation.' 用意をする = 'to prepare,' which doesn't match the ongoing daily care described.
• 4しゅうかん（習慣）means 'habit / custom.' 習慣をする is not a natural collocation; you would say 習慣にする, and it doesn't mean 'taking care of.'

• 世話せわ — care, looking after (someone/something)
• 運動うんどう — exercise
• 用意ようい — preparation
• 習慣しゅうかん — habit, custom

The sentence means 'Because I have a fever, I'll (　) at the hospital and then go to work.' よって（寄って, from 寄る）means 'to drop by / stop by on the way.' The pattern 〜てから indicates doing one action and then another: 病院に寄ってから会社に行きます = 'I'll drop by the hospital and then go to the company.' This is the natural expression for making a stop along the way.

• 1もどって（戻って, from 戻る）means 'to return.' 病院に戻ってから would mean 'after returning to the hospital,' implying you were already there and went back, which doesn't fit the context of going to work afterward.
• 3まがって（曲がって, from 曲がる）means 'to turn (a corner).' 病院に曲がる is unnatural — you 曲がる at a corner, not at a destination like a hospital.
• 4かよって（通って, from 通う）means 'to commute / to attend regularly.' 病院に通ってから would mean 'after commuting to the hospital regularly,' which doesn't fit the single-action 〜てから pattern of stopping somewhere before work.

• 寄よる — to drop by, to stop by (on the way)
• 戻もどる — to return
• 曲まがる — to turn (a corner)
• 通かよう — to commute, to attend regularly
