N4 Vocabulary · Test 94

The context says the shirt department is on the 3rd floor above, and asks the listener to go by way of a certain means. エスカレーター (escalator) is the logical choice — you take an escalator to go up to the 3rd floor inside a department store. The sentence means 'The shirt counter is on the 3rd floor above. Please go up using that escalator.'

• 1ドア (door) is not a means of going up to another floor; you go through a door, not 'by' a door to reach a higher floor.
• 2タクシー (taxi) is used to travel outside between locations, not to move between floors inside a store.
• 3サンダル (sandals) are footwear; you do not 'go by sandals' to reach a floor, and the phrase でいってください implies a means of transport/movement, not an item of clothing.

• エスカレーター（えすかれーたー） — escalator
• 売り場（うりば） — sales counter; department (in a store)
• ドア（どあ） — door
• タクシー（たくしー） — taxi
• サンダル（さんだる） — sandals

れんしゅう (練習, 'practice') fits the sentence: 'じゅぎょうがおわってから、まいにち、ピンポンのれんしゅうをします' = 'After class finishes, every day I practice ping-pong.' ピンポンのれんしゅうをする is a natural collocation meaning to practice ping-pong.

• 1しゅみ (趣味) means 'hobby.' You would say ピンポンがしゅみです (ping-pong is my hobby), not ピンポンのしゅみをします — 趣味 is not something you する in this pattern.
• 2うんどう (運動) means 'exercise/sports.' While ピンポン is a sport, ピンポンのうんどうをする is not a natural collocation; you would simply say ピンポンをします or うんどうをします without combining them with の.
• 4しゅうかん (習慣) means 'habit/custom.' ピンポンのしゅうかんをする is unnatural; you would say ピンポンをするのがしゅうかんになっています (it has become a habit to play ping-pong).

• 練習れんしゅう — practice
• 趣味しゅみ — hobby
• 運動うんどう — exercise, sports
• 習慣しゅうかん — habit, custom

にだい (二台) uses the counter 台 (だい), which is used for machines, vehicles, and equipment. じてんしゃ (bicycle) is a vehicle, so 二台 is the correct counter: 'じてんしゃをにだいもっています' = 'I have two bicycles.'

• 2にさい (二歳) uses the counter 歳 (さい) for age (years old). It cannot be used to count bicycles.
• 3にほん (二本) uses the counter 本 (ほん) for long, cylindrical objects (e.g., pens, bottles, trees). Bicycles are not counted with 本.
• 4にまい (二枚) uses the counter 枚 (まい) for flat, thin objects (e.g., paper, shirts, plates). Bicycles are not counted with 枚.

• 台だい — counter for machines, vehicles, equipment
• 歳さい — counter for years of age
• 本ほん — counter for long cylindrical objects
• 枚まい — counter for flat thin objects

ふかさ (深さ) means 'depth.' The sentence 'このみずうみのふかさはどのくらいですか' = 'How deep is this lake?' A lake's depth is a natural attribute to ask about with どのくらいですか (how much/how deep).

• 2あつさ (厚さ) means 'thickness' (of objects) or 暑さ 'heat' (of weather). Neither applies to a lake in this context.
• 3さむさ (寒さ) means 'coldness' (of weather/temperature). While a lake can be cold, asking さむさはどのくらいですか is unnatural; you would ask about water temperature differently.
• 4おもさ (重さ) means 'weight.' Asking the weight of a lake is not a typical or natural question.

• 深ふかさ — depth
• 厚あつさ — thickness
• 寒さむさ — coldness
• 重おもさ — weight

かけて (掛けて, from 掛ける) means 'to hang (something on a wall).' The sentence 'きゅうしつのかべにきれいなえがかけてあります' = 'A beautiful picture is hung on the classroom wall.' え (picture) on a かべ (wall) is hung, so 掛けて is the correct verb. The pattern 〜てあります indicates a resulting state.

• 1のせて (乗せて, from 乗せる) means 'to place/put something on top of a surface.' You might place something on a shelf, but you don't のせる a picture on a wall.
• 3おいて (置いて, from 置く) means 'to place/put (on a flat surface).' Pictures on walls are hung, not placed on a flat surface.
• 4つけて (付けて, from 付ける) means 'to attach/turn on.' While you could attach something to a wall, えがかけてあります is the standard expression for a picture hanging on a wall.

• 掛かける — to hang (on a wall)
• 乗のせる — to place on top of a surface
• 置おく — to place, put
• 付つける — to attach, to turn on

• 2茶語 is not a real word; 茶 (ちゃ/さ) means 'tea' but 茶語 is not a valid term.
• 3竺語 is not a real word; 竺 (じく) is a rare kanji not used for any common language name.
