    3. 3 しゅっせき
    4. 4 じゅんび
    Show answer

    Answer: 4. じゅんび

    じゅんび (準備, preparation) is correct. The sentence says 'For tomorrow's party, what kind of drinks shall we ________?' The object is 'どんなのみものを' (what kind of drinks), and preparing drinks for a party is the natural action. じゅんびしましょうか means 'shall we prepare?'

    • 1しんぱい (心配) means 'worry/concern.' 'どんなのみものを心配しましょうか' (what drinks shall we worry about?) is semantically nonsensical — you don't worry about drinks in this context.
    • 2しょうたい (招待) means 'invitation/inviting.' While you can invite people to a party, the object here is 'どんなのみものを' (what drinks), and you don't invite drinks. The verb does not match the object.
    • 3しゅっせき (出席) means 'attendance/attending.' 'どんなのみものを出席しましょうか' (what drinks shall we attend?) is grammatically and semantically wrong — you attend a party, not drinks.
    • じゅんび — preparation, getting ready
    • しんぱい — worry, concern
    • しょうたい — invitation, inviting
    • しゅっせき — attendance, attending
    • のみもの — drinks, beverages
    • パーティー — party
  2. 2.このまちには、ほんやは________しかありません。

    1. 1 いちだい
    2. 2 いちど
    3. 3 いっけん
    4. 4 いっこ
    Show answer

    Answer: 3. いっけん

    いっけん (一軒, one building/shop) is correct. The sentence says 'In this town, there is only ________ bookstore(s).' The counter for shops/buildings like a bookstore (ほんや) is 軒 (けん), so 一軒 (いっけん) is the proper counter. The pattern '〜しかありません' means 'there is only ~,' and '一軒しかありません' means 'there is only one (shop/building).'

    • 1いちだい (一台) uses the counter 台 (だい), which is for machines, vehicles, and equipment. A bookstore is a shop/building, not a machine, so this counter is wrong.
    • 2いちど (一度) means 'once / one time.' It is a counter for occurrences, not for counting physical things like shops, so it does not fit here.
    • 4いっこ (一個) uses the counter 個 (こ), which is for small, countable objects (apples, eggs, etc.). A bookstore is a building/shop and should be counted with 軒, not 個.
    • いっけん — one (counter for buildings/shops); one house
    • いちだい — one (counter for machines/vehicles/equipment)
    • いちど — once, one time
    • いっこ — one (counter for small objects)
    • ほんや — bookstore
    • 〜しかありません — there is only ~ (nothing but ~)
  1. 3.A「あしたしょくじに行きませんか。」 B「あしたはちょっと。」

    1. 1 あしたは行けます。
    2. 2 あしたはかまいません。
    3. 3 あしたはだいじょうぶです。
    4. 4 あしたはだめです。
    Show answer

    Answer: 2. あしたはかまいません。

    The verb あいました is the past polite form of あう (to meet). The correct kanji is 会う, so 会いました means 'met.' The sentence means 'Last night, I met a friend at the cafeteria.'

    • 1合いました is read あいました but 合う means 'to match/combine/fit,' not 'to meet (a person).'
    • 3令いました is not a valid verb form; 令 is read れい and does not correspond to あう.
    • 4余いました is read あまいました (from 余る, to be left over), which is a different word entirely.
    • — to meet (someone)
    • — to match, to fit, to combine
