    3. 3 名削
    4. 4 各削
    Show answer

    Answer: 2. 名前

    The sentence means 'Please write your company name here.' The underlined なまえ means 'name,' correctly written 名前. Option 2 is correct.

    • 1各前 is not a real word; 各(かく)means 'each' and does not combine with 前 to mean 'name.'
    • 3名削 is not a real word; 削(さく)means 'whittle/delete' and is a lookalike for 前.
    • 4各削 is not a real word; both characters are wrong.
    • 名前なまえ — name

    3. 3 書いて
    4. 4 畵いて
    Show answer

    Answer: 3. 書いて

    The sentence means 'Please write your company name here.' The underlined かいて is the te-form of 書く(かく, to write), correctly written 書いて. Option 3 is correct.

    • 1晀 is an obscure/variant character that resembles 書 but is not the correct kanji for 'write.'
    • 2畫 is the traditional/variant form of 画(え/が, picture), not 書(write); it is a deliberate lookalike distractor.
    • 4畵 is another variant of 画, not 書; also a deliberate lookalike distractor.
    • いて — write and… (te-form of 書く)
    • — to write

    2. 2 良い
    3. 3 浪い
    4. 4 長んい
    Show answer

    Answer: 1. 長い

    The sentence means 'Suzuki-san stood there for a long time.' The underlined ながい means 'long (in time/distance),' correctly written 長い. Option 1 is correct.

    • 2良い(よい)means 'good' and is read よい, not ながい.
    • 3浪い is not a real word; 浪(ろう/なみ)means 'wave' and is a lookalike for 長.
    • 4長んい is not valid Japanese; the okurigana んい is incorrect for 長い.
    • なが — long (in time or length)
  4. 4.すずきさんは ながい じかん そこに たって いた。

    1. 1 待間
    2. 2 時間
    3. 3 時問
    4. 4 待問
    Show answer

    Answer: 2. 時間

    The word じかん means 'time' (as in a period/duration of time). The correct kanji is 時間, where 時 means 'time/hour' and 間 means 'interval/span'. The sentence means 'Suzuki-san stood there for a long time.'

    • 1待間 uses 待 (まつ, 'to wait') instead of 時. This is a lookalike kanji trap; there is no such word.
    • 3時問 uses 問 ('question') instead of 間 ('interval'). A deliberate lookalike trap; not a real word.
    • 4待問 combines two wrong kanji (待 'wait' and 問 'question'); not a real word.
    • 時間じかん — time (duration/period)
    • — to wait
    • もん/とん — question

    2. 2 田って
    3. 3 立って
    4. 4 手って
    Show answer

    Answer: 3. 立って

    たって is the te-form of たつ (立つ, 'to stand'). The correct kanji is 立って. The sentence means 'Suzuki-san stood there for a long time.'

    • 1多って uses 多 (おおい, 'many'), which is not the kanji for たつ; not a valid word here.
    • 2田って uses 田 (た, 'rice field'); not the kanji for 'to stand'.
    • 4手って uses 手 (て, 'hand'); not the kanji for たつ.
    • — to stand
    • って — standing (te-form of 立つ)

    3. 3 于ども
    4. 4 予ども
    Show answer

    Answer: 2. 子ども

    The underlined word is こども (child). The correct kanji is 子, so option 2 子ども is correct. The sentence means 'My child likes flowers.'

    • 1了 is a different kanji (used in 完了 etc.), not the kanji for こ.
    • 3于 is a different kanji (used in names/于), not the kanji for こ.
    • 4予 is a different kanji (used in 予定 etc.), not the kanji for こ.

    • 1衣 is read い/ころも and means clothing, not はな.
    • 3筏 is read いかだ and means raft, not はな.

    • 2茶 is read ちゃ and means tea, not ほん.

    2. 2 続んで
    3. 3 読んで
    4. 4 緒んで
    Show answer

    Answer: 3. 読んで

    The underlined word is よんで, the te-form of 読む (to read). The correct kanji is 読んで. The sentence means 'Please read this book.'

    • 1諸んで uses the kanji 諸 (もろ), which is not related to the verb 読む. This is a lookalike kanji with the same right-side component as 読.
    • 2続んで uses 続 (つづ), meaning 'continue.' It is unrelated to reading and has the wrong reading.
    • 4緒んで uses 緒 (お), meaning 'thread/cord.' It shares a component with 読 but is unrelated and has the wrong reading.
    • — to read
    • んで — te-form of 読む (to read)

    1. 1
    2. 2 西
    3. 3
    4. 4
    Show answer

    Answer: 2. 西

    The underlined word is にし, meaning 'west.' The correct kanji is 西. The sentence means 'There is a big river to the west of this town.'

    • 1酉 (とり) is the tenth of the twelve earthly branches (rooster). It looks similar to 西 but is a different character with the wrong meaning and reading.
    • 3東 (ひがし) means 'east,' the opposite direction of what is asked.
    • 4束 (たば) means 'bundle/sheaf.' It visually resembles 西 but is unrelated.
    • 西にし — west
