    Answer: 3. べんきょ

    The sentence means 'This medicine is very bitter and hard to drink.' にがい (苦い) means 'bitter,' which is the natural reason medicine would be hard to drink (のみにくい). The て-form にがくて connects it to みにくいです.

    • 1うまくて (うまい = tasty/delicious) – if medicine were tasty it would be easy to drink, not hard, so this contradicts のみにくいです.
    • 2こわくて (こわい = scary/frightening) – medicine is not described as 'scary to drink'; this doesn't collocate with くすり and みにくい.
    • 4よわくて (よわい = weak) – 'weak' medicine would not typically be described as hard to drink; bitterness is the relevant taste-related reason.
    • くすり — medicine
    • にがい（苦い） — bitter
    • のみにくい（飲みにくい） — hard to drink

    The word きょうしつ means 'classroom.' The correct kanji is 教室, read きょうしつ (教 = きょう 'teach' + 室 = しつ 'room'). The sentence means 'In the classroom, we sang a famous Japanese song.'

    • 1教客 uses 客 (きゃく, guest/customer) instead of 室 (しつ, room); 教客 is not a real word.
    • 3数客 uses 数 (すう, number) and 客 (きゃく, guest); this is not a real word and does not read きょうしつ.
    • 4数室 uses 数 (すう, number) instead of 教 (きょう, teach); 数室 is not a real word meaning 'classroom.'
    • 教室きょうしつ — classroom
    • うた — song
    • うたう — to sing

    The word ゆうめい (な) means 'famous.' The correct kanji is 有名, read ゆうめい. The sentence means 'In the classroom, we sang a famous Japanese song.'

    • 1友名 is not a standard word; 友 (とも/ゆう, friend) + 名 (めい/な, name) does not form the adjective ゆうめい.
    • 2友明 is not a standard word; 明 is read めい/あきら but this compound does not mean 'famous.'
    • 4有明 is read ありあけ (as in 有明海, Ariake Sea) and is a place name, not the adjective ゆうめいな.
    • 有名ゆうめい — famous, well-known
    • ゆうめいな — famous (な-adjective form)

    4. 4 とり
    Show answer

    Answer: 2. さかな

    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.
    • 会あう — to meet (someone)
    • 合あう — to match, to fit, to combine
