    1. 1 けんかしました
    2. 2 さんぽしました
    3. 3 けっこんしました
    4. 4 しつもんしました
    Show answer

    Answer: 3. けっこんしました

    The sentence means 'In 2000, (I/we) got married. Now we have 3 children.' けっこんしました (けっこんする: to marry) is the only option that logically connects to having children now.

    • 1けんかしました (けんかする: to fight/quarrel) does not fit the context of marriage and children.
    • 2さんぽしました (さんぽする: to take a walk) is unrelated to having children.
    • 4しつもんしました (しつもんする: to ask a question) does not fit the context.
    • けっこんする — to marry / to get married
    • けんかする — to fight / to quarrel
    • さんぽする — to take a walk
    • しつもんする — to ask a question

    1. 1 うすい
    2. 2 くらい
    3. 3 しろい
    4. 4 あかるい
    Show answer

    Answer: 2. くらい

    The sentence says 'It's ___, isn't it. Let's turn on the lights (でんきを つけましょう).' You turn on lights when it is dark, so くらい (暗い, dark) is the correct choice.

    • 1うすい (薄い) means 'thin' or 'light-colored.' It does not describe a situation where you would need to turn on lights.
    • 3しろい (白い) means 'white.' This does not fit the context of needing to turn on lights.
    • 4あかるい (明るい) means 'bright.' If it were already bright, there would be no reason to turn on the lights.
    • くらい(暗い) — dark
    • でんきを つける(電気をつける) — to turn on the lights
    • うすい(薄い) — thin, light (in color)
    • あかるい(明るい) — bright

    1. 1 あげて
    2. 2 あって
    3. 3 さして
    4. 4 とんで
    Show answer

    Answer: 4. とんで

    The sentence means 'Birds (とり) are ___.' The natural action of birds is flying, so とんで (te-form of とぶ, to fly) is correct: とりが とんでいます means 'Birds are flying.'

    • 1あげて (上げて) is the te-form of あげる (to raise/lift). 'Birds are raising' does not make sense here.
    • 2あって (会って) is the te-form of あう (to meet). 'Birds are meeting' is not a natural collocation.
    • 3さして (指して) is the te-form of さす (to point). 'Birds are pointing' does not fit.
    • とぶ(飛ぶ) — to fly
    • とり — bird
    • あげる(上げる) — to raise, lift
    • さす(指す) — to point

    2. 2 ひき
    3. 3 キロ
    4. 4 カップ
    Show answer

    Answer: 3. キロ

    The sentence means 'From here to school it's 2 ___.' The context is distance, so キロ (kilometers) is correct: 2キロです means 'It's 2 kilometers.'

    • 1はい (杯) is a counter for cups/saucers, not used for distance.
    • 2ひき (匹) is a counter for small animals, not used for distance.
    • 4カップ means 'cup(s),' a unit of volume used in cooking, not for distance.
    • キロ — kilometer (km); also used for kilograms depending on context
    • ひき — counter for small animals

    3. 3 フイルム
    4. 4 ポスト
    Show answer

    Answer: 2. しゃしん

    The sentence means 'On (my) birthday, everyone took ___.' The verb とりました (took) collocates with しゃしん (写真, photo): しゃしんを とりました means 'took a photo/photos.'

    • 1はがき (葉書) means 'postcard.' You do not 'take' (とる) a postcard in this context.
    • 3フイルム means 'film.' While related to photography, you don't say フイルムを とる to mean taking pictures.
    • 4ポスト means 'post/mailbox.' This does not collocate with とる in this context.
    • しゃしん — photograph, photo
    • しゃしんを とる(写真をとる) — to take a photo
    • はがき — postcard
    • たんじょうび — birthday
