N4 Vocabulary · Test 59

The sentence means 'In this village, they mainly ___ rice.' The correct answer is せいさん (生産, 'production/produce'). こめを せいさん する ('produce rice') is the correct collocation, and a village (むら) producing rice as its main activity makes perfect sense.

• 2けんぶつ (見物) means 'sightseeing/seeing.' You do not 'sightsee' rice as a village's main activity.
• 3たいいん (退院) means 'leaving the hospital.' Completely unrelated to rice or villages.
• 4はつおん (発音) means 'pronunciation.' You do not 'pronounce' rice.

• せいさん — production, produce
• けんぶつ — sightseeing, seeing
• たいいん — discharge from hospital
• はつおん — pronunciation

The sentence means 'He said he wouldn't come today, and ___ he didn't come, did he.' The correct answer is やっぱり (やっぱり, 'as expected / sure enough'). The pattern is: someone predicted X, and X turned out to be true — やっぱり confirms that expectation. He said he wouldn't come, and sure enough, he didn't.

• 1すっかり means 'completely/entirely.' While you could say すっかり来なかった ('completely didn't come'), it does not fit the nuance of confirming a prediction, which is what the sentence structure (〜と言っていましたが…来ませんでしたね) calls for.
• 3はっきり means 'clearly.' はっきり来ませんでした would mean 'clearly didn't come,' which does not match the 'as predicted' nuance needed here.
• 4ぷっくり is not a standard Japanese word. It appears to be a fabricated distractor designed to look like an adverb ending in り.

• やっぱり — as expected, sure enough (colloquial form of やはり)
• すっかり — completely, entirely
• はっきり — clearly, distinctly
• 来こない — not come

• 3けす (消す) means 'to erase / turn off.' Not a math operation.
