N5 Vocabulary · Test 22

The underlined sentence is: 'My older sister will marry Yamada-san.' When a woman marries someone, she becomes that person's wife (おくさん). So option 2 — 'あねはやまださんのおくさんになります' (my sister will become Yamada's wife) — correctly restates the meaning of けっこんします.

• 1いもうと（妹）means 'younger sister.' Marrying someone doesn't make you their younger sister.
• 3おばさん（おばさん）means 'aunt.' Marrying someone doesn't make you their aunt.
• 4ごしゅじん（ご主人）means 'husband.' The speaker's sister is female, so she cannot become a husband.

• 姉あね — older sister
• 結婚けっこんする — to marry
• 奥おくさん — wife (polite)
• 妹いもうと — younger sister
• おばさん — aunt; middle-aged woman
• ご主人（ごしゅじん） — husband (polite)

The underlined sentence means 'There is a pet at my house.' A ペット (pet) is an animal kept at home. Among the options, とり (鳥, bird) is the only one that can be a pet. Option 1 — 'My house has a bird' — is consistent with having a pet, making it the best match.

• 2いしゃ (医者) means 'doctor.' A doctor is not a pet.
• 3かぞく (家族) means 'family.' Family members are not pets.
• 4りょうしん (両親) means 'parents.' Parents are not pets.

• ペット — pet
• とり — bird
• いしゃ — doctor
• かぞく — family
• りょうしん — parents

The underlined sentence means 'Yan-san is tall' (せがたかい = height is tall). Among the options, おおきい (大きい, big/large) is the closest in meaning — a tall person can be described as large in stature. Option 4 is the best paraphrase.

• 1かるい (軽い) means 'light (in weight).' This is unrelated to being tall.
• 2つよい (強い) means 'strong.' Strength is unrelated to height.
• 3わかい (若い) means 'young.' Youth is unrelated to being tall.

• せがたかい — tall (lit. height is tall)
• おおきい — big, large
• かるい — light (weight)
• つよい — strong
• わかい — young

The underlined sentence means 'This is the exit. The entrance is over there (あちら).' Since あちら is the いりぐち (entrance), the correct instruction is to enter from there: あちらから はいって ください (Please enter from over there). はいって is the て-form of はいる (to enter), which matches いりぐち (entrance).

• 1でて (出て) is the て-form of でる, meaning 'to exit.' But あちら is the entrance (いりぐち), not the exit (でぐち), so you should not exit from there.
• 2おりて (降りて) is the て-form of おりる, meaning 'to get off.' This is unrelated to entering through an entrance.
• 4わたって (渡って) is the て-form of わたる, meaning 'to cross.' Crossing is unrelated to using an entrance.

• でぐち — exit
• いりぐち — entrance
• はいる — to enter
• でる — to exit, to go out
• おりる — to get off, to descend
• わたる — to cross

やすみます (休みます) means 'to take a break/day off.' If you take a day off from work, you do not work: しごとをしません (will not work). Option 2 correctly restates the meaning.

• 1しごとをします means 'will work,' which is the opposite of taking a day off.

• やすみます（やすみます（休みます）） — to take a rest/day off
• しごと — work
• あさって — the day after tomorrow

The correct answer is 4. The underlined sentence 'わたしの くにの ふゆは、あまり さむく ありません' means 'Winter in my country is not very cold.' The closest paraphrase is option 4: 'わたしの くにの ふゆは、すこし さむいです。' = 'Winter in my country is a little cold.' If winter is 'not very cold,' saying it is 'a little cold' (すこし さむい) captures the same meaning — it is cold, but only slightly.

• 1'Winter is very hot (とても あつい)' is too extreme. 'Not very cold' doesn't mean 'very hot.'
• 2'Winter is a little hot (すこし あつい)' contradicts the original. 'Not very cold' still implies some coldness, not heat.
• 3'Winter is very cold (とても さむい)' is the opposite of 'not very cold.' This directly contradicts the underlined sentence.

• あまり～ない — not very..., not particularly...
• さむい — cold (weather/temperature)
• すこし — a little, slightly
• ふゆ — winter

The stem says 'おととい としょかんに いきました' (The day before yesterday, I went to the library). At a library (としょかん), the natural activity is borrowing books. Option 3 'ほんを かりました' (I borrowed books) correctly describes what one does at a library.

• 1ごはんを たべました means 'I ate a meal.' You do not eat meals at a library.
• 2スポーツを しました means 'I did sports.' You do not play sports at a library.
• 4かいものを しました means 'I went shopping.' You do not shop at a library.

• としょかん — library
• ほんを かりる — to borrow books
• かいもの — shopping
• おととい — the day before yesterday

The stem says 'にちようびの こうえんは にぎやかです' (The park on Sundays is lively/bustling). にぎやか (にぎやか) means lively, bustling, full of people and activity. Option 4 'ひとが おおぜい います' (there are many people) correctly captures the meaning of にぎやか — a place with many people is lively.

• 1きれいです means 'is beautiful/clean.' Beautiful is not the same as lively.
• 2しずかです means 'is quiet.' This is the opposite of にぎやか.
• 3ひとが すくないです means 'there are few people.' This is the opposite of にぎやか, which implies many people.

• にぎやか — lively, bustling
• しずか — quiet
• おおぜい — many (people), a large number
• すくない — few, not many
