Show answer

Answer: 4. ④
Option ④ is correct. Pablo's conditions are: (1) he boards from either 花田駅 or 糸川駅, (2) the cost must be within 500 yen, and (3) shorter time is better. Route ④ starts from 糸川駅, costs 430 yen (within 500 yen), and takes 35 minutes. Among the routes that satisfy all conditions (③ and ④), route ④ is the shortest at 35 minutes, so it is the best choice.
- 1① starts from 寺西駅, not from 花田駅 or 糸川駅, so it does not meet Pablo's condition about where he boards.
- 2② starts from 花田駅, which is valid, but it costs 550 yen — over the 500 yen limit — so it fails the budget condition.
- 3③ starts from 花田駅 and costs 450 yen (within budget), but it takes 40 minutes, which is longer than route ④'s 35 minutes. Since Pablo prefers the shorter time, ③ is not the best choice.
- かかる — to take (time/money)
- 行き方（いきかた） — way to go, route
- 〜までで — up to / within (a limit)
- みじかい — short (time/distance)
- 乗のる — to ride, to board
