N4 Vocabulary · Test 57

運んで is read はこんで (haconde), from 運ぶ (to carry / to transport). The sentence means '(I am) carrying the suitcase.' The intended correct option is the one that should read はこんで; option 3 is marked as the official answer, but as transcribed it reads ほこんで, which is a transcription error (は→ほ).

• 1かんで — this would correspond to 噛んで (to bite) or 飲んで with wrong reading, not 運ぶ.
• 2ふんで — this would correspond to 踏んで (to step on), a different verb.
• 4たのんで — this is 頼んで (to request/ask), from 頼む, a different verb.

• 運はこぶ — to carry, to transport
• スーツケース — suitcase

空港 (くうこう) means 'airport.' The reading is くう (空, sky/air) + こう (港, port). Option 4 correctly gives くうこう.

• 1こうく reverses the kanji readings — 空 is くう and 港 is こう, not the other way around.
• 2こうくう has the right sounds but in the wrong order; it should be くうこう, not こうくう.
• 3くうこ is missing the final う of こう and also reverses the order of the two kanji readings.

• 空港くうこう — airport
• 空くう — sky, air
• 港こう — port, harbor

弱く is the く-form of the i-adjective 弱い (よわい, 'weak'). The stem is よわ-, so the く-form is よわく. Option 1 correctly gives よわく.

• 2つよく would come from 強い (つよい, 'strong'), which is the opposite meaning — the sentence says the wind became weaker, not stronger.
• 3おそく would come from 遅い (おそい, 'slow/late'), which is unrelated to the context of wind strength.
• 4はやく would come from 早い/速い (はやい, 'early/fast'), also unrelated to wind becoming weaker.

• 弱よわい — weak
• 弱よわく — weakly (ku-form of よわい)
• 風かぜ — wind

住所 (じゅうしょ) means 'address.' The reading is じゅう (住, to live/dwell) + しょ (所, place). Option 1 is intended to represent じゅうしょ and is the correct choice among the four. (See issues note about a likely transcription error in the option text.)

• 2じゅうしょう ends in しょう instead of しょ; 所 is read しょ here, not しょう.
• 3じゆじょ has the wrong reading for both kanji — 住 is じゅう, not じゆ, and 所 is しょ, not じょ.
• 4じゅうじょう ends in じょう instead of しょ; 所 is read しょ in this word, not じょう.

• 住所じゅうしょ — address
• 住じゅう — to live, to reside
• 所しょ — place (in this compound)

「えいぎょう」is written 営業, meaning 'business operations / open for business.' The sentence says 'This store is open for business from 9 to 6.' 営(えい) means 'manage/operate' and 業(ぎょう) means 'business/work,' together giving 'business operations.'

• 1宮業 is not a real word. 宮(きゅう/ぐう) appears in words like 神宮(じんぐう) but 宮業 does not exist. Note that 営 and 宮 look visually similar.
• 3宮事 is not a real word. This combines 室(misread as 宮) and 事 but is not a standard term.
• 4営事 is not a real word. 営 is correct but 業(ぎょう) is needed, not 事(じ/こと). 営事 does not exist.

• 営業えいぎょう — business operations, open for business
• 店みせ — store, shop
