The underlined word 楽しかった is the past tense of 楽しい (fun, enjoyable), read as たのしかった. Option 4 matches this reading perfectly.

• 1うれしかった is the past tense of 嬉しい (glad, happy about something). While it also describes a positive feeling, it is a different word from 楽しい and does not match the kanji 楽.
• 2いそがしかった is the past tense of 忙しい (busy). This is a completely different word and does not match the kanji 楽.
• 3はずかしかった is the past tense of 恥ずかしい (embarrassed, shy). This is unrelated to 楽しい and does not match the kanji.

• 嬉うれしい — glad, happy (about something)
• 忙いそがしい — busy
• 恥はずかしい — embarrassed, shy

The underlined word 習って is the te-form of 習う (to learn, to take lessons), read as ならって. Option 3 matches this reading.

• 1かよって is the te-form of 通う (to commute, to attend). While you might commute to a place where you learn, this is a different verb and does not match the kanji 習.
• 2まって is the te-form of 待つ (to wait). This is unrelated to learning and does not match the kanji.
• 4のこって is the te-form of 残る (to remain, to be left over). This is unrelated and does not match the kanji.

• 通かよう — to commute, to attend (a school, etc.)
• 待まつ — to wait
• 残のこる — to remain, to be left over

The underlined word 軽い is read as かるい, meaning light (in weight). Option 1 matches this reading. The sentence says 'This PC is light, isn't it?' which makes sense with かるい.

• 2おもい is the reading of 重い (heavy), which is the opposite of 軽い. It does not match the kanji 軽.
• 3はやい is the reading of 早い/速い (fast, early). This is unrelated to weight and does not match the kanji 軽.

• 重おもい — heavy
• 早い／速い（はやい） — fast, early

The underlined word 食料品 is read as しょくりょうひん, meaning foodstuffs/groceries. 食 is read しょく, 料 is read りょう, and 品 is read ひん. Option 2 correctly combines these readings.

• 1しょくりゅうひん uses the wrong reading for 料 (りゅう instead of りょう). The kanji 料 in this compound is read with the long vowel りょう, not りゅう.
• 3しゅくりょうひん uses the wrong reading for 食 (しゅく instead of しょく). The kanji 食 in this compound is read しょく, not しゅく.
• 4しゅくりゅうひん has wrong readings for both 食 (しゅく instead of しょく) and 料 (りゅう instead of りょう).

• 食料品しょくりょうひん — foodstuffs, groceries
• 食しょく — food, eating (on-yomi)
• 料りょう — fee, materials (on-yomi)
• 品ひん — goods, article (on-yomi)

The underlined word 顔 is read as かお, meaning face. The sentence says 'You have something on your face.' Option 4 matches this reading.

• 1くつ is the reading of 靴 (shoes). This is unrelated to 顔 and does not match the kanji.
• 2あたま is the reading of 頭 (head). While related to the body, it is a different word and does not match the kanji 顔.
• 3ふく is the reading of 服 (clothes). This is unrelated to 顔 and does not match the kanji.

• 顔かお — face
• 靴くつ — shoes
• 頭あたま — head
• 服ふく — clothes

The reading えいが corresponds to 映画, meaning 'movie.' The first kanji 映 is read エイ and the second kanji 画 is read ガ, together forming えいが.

• 1映面 uses the correct first kanji 映 but pairs it with 面, which is not the kanji used for が in this word. 映面 is not a real word.
• 2央画 uses the correct second kanji 画 but pairs it with 央, which is read おう/ちゅう, not えい. 央画 is not a real word.
• 4央面 uses neither correct kanji. 央 is read おう/ちゅう and 面 is read めん, so this cannot represent えいが.

• 映画えいが — movie, film

The reading およいで is the te-form of 泳ぐ (およぐ, 'to swim'), which is 泳いで. The kanji 泳 is read およ, and the okurigana いで completes the te-form conjugation.

• 1海いで uses 海, which is read うみ and means 'sea.' This is a lookalike attempt but 海いで is not a word and does not match the reading およいで.
• 3港いで uses 港, which is read みなと and means 'harbor.' 港いで is not a word and does not match the reading.
• 4注いで is a real te-form (from 注ぐ, そそぐ, 'to pour'), but it is read そそいで, not およいで, so it does not match the reading.

• 泳およぐ — to swim
• 泳およいで — swimming (te-form of 泳ぐ)

The reading うりば corresponds to 売り場, meaning 'sales counter' or 'sales floor.' 売る (うる, 'to sell') + 場 (ば, 'place') = 売り場. The okurigana り belongs to 売 and the reading ば belongs to 場.

• 2売り所 uses the correct kanji 売 but pairs it with 所, which is read ところ/しょ, not ば. 売り所 is not the standard word for a sales counter.
• 3完り場 uses 完, which is read かん and means 'completion.' 完り場 is not a real word; 完 is a lookalike for 売.
• 4完り所 uses 完 instead of 売 and 所 instead of 場. Neither kanji is correct for this word.

• 売り場（うりば） — sales counter, sales floor
• 売うる — to sell
• 場ば — place (in compounds)

The reading おわります corresponds to 終わります, the polite form of 終わる (おわる, 'to end/finish'). The kanji 終 is read おわ and the okurigana ります completes the polite conjugation.

• 1関わります is a real word (from 関わる, かかわる, 'to concern/relate to'), but it is read かかわります, not おわります.
• 2始まります is a real word (from 始まる, はじまる, 'to begin'), but it is read はじまります, not おわります. It is also the opposite meaning.
• 3閉わります is not a standard word. 閉 is read と/へい, and the verb 閉まる is しまる, which would be しまります, not おわります.

• 終おわる — to end, to finish
• 終おわります — will end (polite form of 終わる)

The reading ほんや corresponds to 本屋, meaning 'bookstore.' 本 (ほん, 'book') + 屋 (や, 'shop') = 本屋. The kanji 屋 is read や in this compound and refers to a shop.

• 1本室 uses 室, which is read しつ and means 'room.' 本室 is not a word for bookstore and does not match the reading ほんや.
• 2本店 uses 店, which is read みせ/てん and means 'shop/store.' 本店 means 'main store/headquarters' and is read ほんてん, not ほんや.
• 4本家 uses 家, which is read いえ/か and means 'house/family.' 本家 means 'head family/main house' and is read ほんけ, not ほんや.
