Option 2 (親切) is the correct kanji for しんせつ, meaning 'kind/thoughtful.' The sentence means 'At this hospital, the doctors are kind.'

• 1親功 is not a real word. 親 (しん/おや) means 'parent/close' and 功 (こう) means 'achievement/merit,' but this compound does not exist.
• 3新切 is not a real word. 新 (しん/あたら) means 'new' and 切 (せつ/き) means 'cut,' but this compound is meaningless in context.
• 4新功 is not a real word; combining 'new' and 'achievement' makes no sense here.

• 親切しんせつ — kind, thoughtful, considerate
• 医者いしゃ — doctor

Option 2 (帰りました) is the correct kanji for かえりました, the past tense of 帰る (to return home). The sentence means 'My family went home first.'

• 1仮りました would be read かりました (from 仮る, a rare/obsolete form) and does not mean 'to return.' 仮 (かり) relates to 'temporary/borrowing.'
• 3返りました is read かえりました but uses 返る, meaning 'to return something (to its owner)' or 'to reply,' not 'to go home.' The correct kanji for returning home is 帰る.
• 4掃りました would be read はりました (from 掃る, 'to sweep'), which is a different verb entirely and does not match the reading かえりました.

• 帰かえる — to return (home)
• 返かえる — to return something, to be returned
• 仮かる — to borrow temporarily (rare)

Option 1 (働く) is the correct kanji for はたらく, meaning 'to work.' The sentence means 'Many people who often work gather here.'

• 2倒く is not a real word. 倒 (とう) means 'to collapse/fall' and is not used with this reading or meaning.
• 3動く is read うごく, meaning 'to move,' not はたらく. While both relate to activity, 動く refers to physical movement, not working.
• 4僮く is not a real word. 僮 is a rare character not used in standard Japanese vocabulary.

• 働はたらく — to work
• 動うごく — to move
• 集あつまる — to gather, to assemble

開ける (あける, 'to open something') in potential negative polite form becomes 開けられません (あけられません). The sentence means 'This gate cannot be opened by a child's strength.' The correct reading is あけられません.

• 2うけられません is 受けられません ('cannot receive/accept'), a different verb.
• 3かけられません is 掛けられません ('cannot hang/put on'), a different verb.
• 4つけられません is 付けられません ('cannot attach/turn on'), a different verb.

• 開あける — to open (transitive)
• 開あけられる — can open (potential form)

The sentence means 'In this country, even in winter it can get above 20 degrees.' The underlined 「ふゆ」 is 「冬」, 'winter', so option 2 is correct.

• 1「春（はる）」 means 'spring', not ふゆ.
• 3「夏（なつ）」 means 'summer', not ふゆ.
• 4「秋（あき）」 means 'autumn', not ふゆ.

• 冬ふゆ — winter

「20ど」 means '20 degrees (temperature)'. The kanji for degrees is 「度」, so option 2 is correct.

• 1「広」 is read 「ひろ/こう」 and means 'wide'; it is not used for degrees.
• 3「庄」 is not used for temperature degrees.
• 4「席」 means 'seat' and is unrelated to degrees.

• 度ど — degree(s) (of temperature/angle)

「いじょう」 is written 「以上」, meaning '...or more / above (a level)'. In the sentence, 「20度以上」 means '20 degrees or above', so option 2 is correct.

• 1「比上」 is not a real word; it uses the kanji 比（ひ）to mimic the shape of 以.
• 3「似上」 is not a real word; 似（に）is a lookalike for 以.
• 4「批上」 is not a real word; 批（ひ）is a lookalike for 以.

• 以上いじょう — ...or more, above (a threshold)

「えいがかん」 is written 「映画館」, meaning 'movie theater/cinema'. The sentence means 'That movie theater has good sound.' Option 3 is correct.

• 1「眩写館」 is not a real word; 眩（げん）is a lookalike for 映.
• 2「映写館」 is not the standard word; 映写（えいしゃ）means 'projection', but a movie theater is 映画館.
• 4「眩画館」 is not a real word; it swaps 映→眩 to mislead learners.

• 映画館えいがかん — movie theater, cinema
