  1. 1.かばんの　なかに　なにが　ありますか。

    1. 1 中
    2. 2 円
    3. 3 内
    4. 4 甲
    Show answer

    Answer: 1. 中

    中 (なか) means 'inside/middle' and correctly represents the なか in かばんのなかに (inside the bag). The sentence means 'What is inside the bag?'

    • 2円 is read えん and means 'yen (currency)' or 'circle' — unrelated to 'inside.'
    • 3内 can mean 'inside' but is read うち or ない, not なか. It is a near-synonym distractor.
    • 4甲 is read こう and means 'armor' or 'first in rank' — unrelated to 'inside.'
    • 中なか — inside, middle
    • かばん — bag

  2. 2.あめなので　たくしーで　きました。

    1. 1 羽
    2. 2 雪
    3. 3 兩
    4. 4 雨
    Show answer

    Answer: 4. 雨

    雨 (あめ) means 'rain.' The sentence means 'Because it was raining, I came by taxi.' The tested word あめ is written in hiragana in the stem, and the student must select the correct kanji.

    • 1羽 is read はね and means 'feather' or 'wing' — unrelated to rain.
    • 2雪 is read ゆき and means 'snow' — a weather-related near-synonym distractor, but it is a different precipitation type.
    • 3兩 is the traditional/Chinese form of 両 (りょう, 'both') — a lookalike kanji distractor with no connection to rain.
    • 雨あめ — rain
    • タクシー — taxi

  3. 3.あめなので　たくしーで　きました。

    1. 1 クタシー
    2. 2 ワタシー
    3. 3 タクシー
    4. 4 タワシー
    Show answer

    Answer: 3. タクシー

    The sentence means 'Because it was raining, I came by taxi.' The underlined word たくしー is the katakana word for 'taxi,' correctly spelled タクシー (ta-ku-shī). Option 3 matches exactly.

    • 1クタシー (kuta-shī) has the first two katakana swapped; it is not a real word.
    • 2ワタシー (wata-shī) replaces the correct first character with ワ; it is not a real word.
    • 4タワシー (tawa-shī) replaces the middle character with ワ; it is not a real word.
    • タクシー（たくしー） — taxi

  4. 4.あめなので　たくしーで　きました。

    1. 1 未ました
    2. 2 末ました
    3. 3 朱ました
    4. 4 来ました
    Show answer

    Answer: 4. 来ました

    The sentence means 'Because it was raining, I came by taxi.' The underlined きました is the polite past form of 来る（くる, to come）, written in kanji as 来ました. Option 4 is correct.

    • 1未（み）means 'not yet' and is unrelated to the verb 来る.
    • 2末（すえ/まつ）means 'end/tip' and is unrelated to the verb 来る.
    • 3朱（しゅ）means 'vermilion/red' and is unrelated to the verb 来る.
    • 来きました — came (polite past of 来る)
    • 来くる — to come

  5. 5.ここに　かいしゃの　なまえを　かいて　ください。

    1. 1 会社
    2. 2 公仕
    3. 3 公社
    4. 4 会仕
    Show answer

    Answer: 1. 会社

    The sentence means 'Please write your company name here.' The underlined かいしゃ means 'company,' correctly written 会社. Option 1 is correct.

    • 2公仕 is not a real word; 公（こう）means 'public' and 仕（し）means 'serve,' but together they do not form かいしゃ.
    • 3公社（こうしゃ）means 'public corporation' and is read こうしゃ, not かいしゃ.
    • 4会仕 is not a real word; it combines 会（かい）with an unrelated kanji 仕.
    • 会社かいしゃ — company, firm

  1. 6.まいばん　じぶんで　______　して　います。

    1. 1 りょうり
    2. 2 びょうき
    3. 3 けっこん
    4. 4 りゅうがく
    Show answer

    Answer: 1. りょうり

    The sentence means 'Every night I do ____ by myself.' Option 1, りょうり (料理, cooking), fits perfectly: まいばん じぶんで りょうりして います = 'Every night I cook by myself.' The pattern ～して います indicates an ongoing/habitual action, and cooking is something one does every night.

    • 2びょうき (病気) means 'sickness/illness.' You cannot 'do sickness by myself every night' — 病気する is not a normal collocation, and it makes no sense as a nightly habit.
    • 3けっこん (結婚) means 'marriage.' While 結婚する is valid, you do not get married 'every night by myself.' It does not fit まいばん (every night).
    • 4りゅうがく (留学) means 'studying abroad.' 留学する is valid, but it is not something done 'every night by myself.'
    • 料理りょうり — cooking, cuisine
    • 毎晩まいばん — every night
    • 自分じぶん — oneself

  2. 7.テストが　ありますから、ともだちに　______　を　かりました。

    1. 1 じしょ
    2. 2 さいふ
    3. 3 かびん
    4. 4 たまご
    Show answer

    Answer: 1. じしょ

    The sentence means 'Because there is a test, I borrowed a ____ from a friend.' Option 1, じしょ (辞書, dictionary), is the logical thing to borrow when you have a test: テストがありますから、ともだちに じしょを かりました = 'Because I have a test, I borrowed a dictionary from a friend.'

    • 2さいふ (財布) means 'wallet.' There is no reason to borrow a wallet because of a test.
    • 3かびん (花瓶) means 'vase.' A vase has nothing to do with preparing for a test.
    • 4たまご (卵) means 'egg.' Borrowing an egg is unrelated to having a test.
    • 辞書じしょ — dictionary
    • 借かりる — to borrow
    • 財布さいふ — wallet
    • 花瓶かびん — vase

  3. 8.ここから　えきまでの　______　を　かきました。

    1. 1 りょこう
    2. 2 かみ
    3. 3 ちず
    4. 4 しんぶん
    Show answer

    Answer: 3. ちず

    The sentence means 'I wrote/drew the ____ from here to the station.' Option 3, ちず (地図, map), fits: ここから えきまでの ちずを かきました = 'I drew a map from here to the station.' Maps are drawn/written, and a route from one place to another is naturally expressed as a map.

    • 1りょこう (旅行) means 'travel/trip.' You do not 'write a trip from here to the station.'
    • 2かみ (紙) means 'paper.' You write ON paper, but you do not 'write the paper from here to the station.'
    • 4しんぶん (新聞) means 'newspaper.' You do not write a newspaper for a route from here to the station.
    • 地図ちず — map
    • 書かく — to write, to draw
    • 旅行りょこう — travel, trip
    • 新聞しんぶん — newspaper
