JLPT Test

「にして」is not a standard grammatical pattern to express a role or capacity in this context. It can mean 'even' or 'considering', but it doesn't fit here.

「とまで」means "even to the extent of" or "even to the point of". It implies an extreme or unexpected degree, which is not the meaning intended here.

「にまで」is similar to 「とまで」, meaning "even to" or "up to". It emphasizes a limit or extent, which is not appropriate for describing a role.

「の」is a possessive particle or nominalizer. While it can connect nouns, it doesn't form the correct grammatical structure for describing a shape with 「している」in this context.

「も」means "also" or "too". It adds emphasis or inclusion, which doesn't fit the grammatical requirement for describing shape.

「で」indicates means, location, or cause. It is not used to connect a shape to 「している」in this way.

「などを」would mean "things like..." and would typically be followed by a verb that takes a direct object. While 「言う」is a verb, the structure 「～などと言う」is more natural for quoting or listing examples of what is said.

「ことを言う」means "to say something". While grammatically possible, 「こと」doesn't convey the nuance of listing examples as effectively as 「など」.

「ことと」is not a standard grammatical pattern in this context. It might imply "with the fact that" or "and the fact that", which doesn't fit the meaning of listing reasons.

「いても」means "even if (you are hungry)". This implies a concession, which doesn't fit the context of offering food based on a condition.

「いると」means "when (you are hungry)" or "if/once (you are hungry)". While it can express a condition, 「なら」is more natural for offering something based on a stated condition.

「いるけど」means "(you are hungry) but...". This implies a contrast or a preceding statement, which doesn't fit the direct conditional offering.

「にしたがって」means "in accordance with", "as... (something changes)", or "following". It indicates a correlation or a sequence of events, which is not the meaning here.

「の一方で」means "on the other hand" or "while". It introduces a contrasting aspect or simultaneous action, which doesn't fit the comparative context.

「のことで」means "about the matter of ～" or "concerning ～". It introduces a topic, not a comparison.

「持って来る」means "to bring (something here)", implying movement towards the speaker or the speaker's current location. This is incorrect as Yamada took the materials to the boss.

「行く」is the non-past form. While the action is recent, the context of 「ついさっき～ところです」requires the past tense to indicate a completed action.

「持って来た」means "brought (something here)". Similar to 「来る」, it implies movement towards the speaker, which is not the case here.

「質問してください」would mean "Please ask questions (to me)", which is not what the student wants to say. The student wants to be *allowed* to ask questions.

「やってください」is a more casual or direct request for someone to do something for the speaker. It doesn't convey the nuance of asking for permission to perform an action oneself.

「されて」is the passive form of 「する」. 「質問されてください」would mean "Please be asked questions", which is grammatically incorrect and nonsensical in this context.

「するよ」is a casual statement meaning "I will do it, you know" or "(someone) will do it". It's not a command.

「するね」is a casual statement meaning "I will do it, right?" or "(someone) will do it, won't they?". It's not a command.

「するんだ」is an explanatory or emphatic statement meaning "it's that (someone) will do it". It's not a command.

「くださる」is the honorific form of 「くれる」, meaning "to give (to me/us)". It is used when a superior gives something to the speaker or the speaker's group, not when the speaker gives to a superior.

「なさる」is the honorific form of 「する」, meaning "to do". It is not related to the act of giving.

「いただく」is the humble form of 「もらう」or 「食べる/飲む」, meaning "to receive" or "to humbly eat/drink". It is used when the speaker receives something from a superior, not when giving to a superior.

「そうなの」uses 「そう」to indicate appearance or likelihood, meaning "something that looks like it would ～" or "something that seems like it would ～". While grammatically possible, 「ような」is more natural for describing the *kind* of thing said that led to anger. The particle 「を」is correct for the object of 「言って」.

While 「ようなの」can be used, 「こと」is generally preferred when referring to abstract matters, facts, or things said, especially in more formal or reflective contexts. 「の」as a nominalizer is more common for concrete things or when the context is clear.

「そうなことを言う」would mean "to say something that looks like it would make him angry" or "to say something that seems like it would make him angry". This implies a visual or immediate impression, whereas 「ようなことを」describes the *nature* or *effect* of the words, which is more fitting for causing anger.

「ばかり」means "only" or "just", but it doesn't combine naturally with 「でよければ」in this context to express a condition of limited availability. 「だけ」is the more appropriate word for "only" here.

「ばかりでよくても」is grammatically awkward and doesn't convey the intended meaning. 「～ても」means "even if", implying a concession, which is not the nuance here.

「だけでよくても」means "even if only the morning is fine". This implies a concession or a less ideal situation, whereas Tanaka is simply stating his availability under a specific condition.

「お見えになる」is the honorific form of 「来る」("to come") or 「見える」("to appear"). It is used to show respect for the actions of a superior, but it doesn't fit the context of the speaker meeting someone.

「拝見できる」is the humble form of 「見ることができる」("to be able to see"). It is used when the speaker humbly sees something belonging to or performed by a superior. While it involves seeing, it's not the appropriate humble expression for *meeting* a person.

「ご覧になる」is the honorific form of 「見る」("to see"). It is used to show respect for a superior's act of seeing. It doesn't fit the context of the speaker meeting someone.

「～ことになった」means "it was decided that ～" or "it has been decided that ～". This implies an external decision or a natural consequence that has been established, but it doesn't fit the gradual change in a person's health condition.

「～ことにした」means "I decided to do ～" or "I decided not to do ～". This implies a personal decision, which is not applicable to naturally occurring health changes.

「～ようにした」means "I made an effort to do ～" or "I made an effort not to do ～". This implies a conscious effort, which is not the case for naturally becoming healthier.

While 「ほど」is part of the correct grammar pattern, placing it first or in other positions does not form a coherent sentence.

「仕事は」is a necessary component, but its placement is crucial for the correct grammatical structure.

「これ」is a necessary component, but its placement is crucial for the correct grammatical structure.

While 「によって」is part of the correct grammar pattern, placing it first or in other positions does not form a coherent sentence.

「画家たちに」is a necessary component, but its placement is crucial for the correct grammatical structure.

「絵が」is a necessary component, but its placement is crucial for the correct grammatical structure.

While 「終わってしまって」is part of the correct sentence, placing it first or in other positions does not form a coherent sentence.

「何も」is a necessary component, but its placement is crucial for the correct grammatical structure.

「食べない」is a necessary component, but its placement is crucial for the correct grammatical structure.

While 「考える」is part of the correct sentence, placing it first or in other positions does not form a coherent sentence.

「というのが」is a necessary component, but its placement is crucial for the correct grammatical structure.

「働く」is a necessary component, but its placement is crucial for the correct grammatical structure.

While 「している」is part of the correct sentence, placing it first or in other positions does not form a coherent sentence.

While 「おかげだ」is part of the correct grammar pattern, placing it first or in other positions does not form a coherent sentence.

「毎朝」is a necessary component, but its placement is crucial for the correct grammatical structure.

「それでも」means "even so" or "nevertheless". It introduces a contrasting idea, which doesn't fit the logical flow here.

「ところで」means "by the way". It is used to change the topic, which is not the case here.

「ところが」means "however" or "although". It introduces an unexpected or contrary result, which doesn't fit the decision-making process described.

「～せいです」also means "because of ～", but it often carries a negative nuance, implying that something undesirable happened as a result. Here, the classmates singing along is a positive outcome.

「～だけです」means "only ～". This would imply that the only thing that happened was the author starting to sing, which contradicts the fact that everyone sang along.

「～ことです」means "it's that ～" or "the fact that ～". While grammatically possible, it doesn't express the cause-and-effect relationship as clearly as 「～からです」in this context.

「自分のアニメ」means "my own anime". This doesn't capture the shared experience that led to conversation.

「みんなのアニメ」means "everyone's anime". While technically true that it's anime watched by everyone, 「同じアニメ」is more precise in highlighting the shared specific anime that fostered their connection.

「違う国のアニメ」means "anime from different countries". This contradicts the point that they watched the *same* anime, even if they were from different countries.

「～てほしい」means "I want (someone) to do ～". This would mean "I want them to become close", which is not a statement about what *happened*.

「～そうだった」means "it seemed like ～". This implies that they *seemed like* they would become close, but it doesn't confirm that they actually did.

「～てみたい」means "I want to try doing ～". This would mean "I want to try becoming close", which is a desire, not a statement of an achieved result.

「～と思いますか」is a question, asking "Do you think ～?". This is inappropriate for the author's personal statement.

「～と思うそうです」means "I heard that (someone) thinks ～". This indicates hearsay, not the author's own belief.

「～かもしれません」means "might have ～". This expresses uncertainty or possibility, which contradicts the author's strong current belief.

These details (date/time of party, approximate number of attendees) are topics to be discussed *during* the consultation, not what Tanaka needs to provide *before* the consultation.

The content of food and drinks is also a detail to be discussed *during* the consultation, as the restaurant will prepare a proposal based on this discussion.

The final number of attendees is typically confirmed closer to the event, after initial discussions. The email asks for a consultation first.

This is mentioned as important for protecting teeth, but the author states it's "of course" important (もちろん), implying it's a general good practice, not something they *recently started doing* as a new effort.

Similar to option 1, this is mentioned as "of course" important, not a recent specific effort by the author.

This contradicts the passage, which explicitly states 「時間をかけて、何度もかむことで」("by taking time and chewing many times"). The author is spending *more* time chewing, not less.

Point 2 says: 「箱の中の資料 (7枚)を30部コピー ホッチキスでとめて、1部ずつ会社の封筒に入れる。」 (Copy 30 sets of materials (7 sheets) from the box. Staple them and put them into company envelopes one by one.) This option incorrectly states that the materials are *already* in company envelopes.

Point 3 says: 「この本を資料室へ返し、予約してある「会計学第2巻」を借りてくる。」 (Return *this book* to the reference room and borrow *the reserved* "Accounting Vol 2".) This means only one book is to be borrowed (the reserved one), not two.

Point 4 says: 「エアコンの調子が悪いので、ビルの管理人に連絡して、修理の必要があるかどうか見 に来てもらってください。」 (The air conditioner is not working well, so contact the building manager and ask them to come check if repairs are needed.) This task is to *contact* the manager to *check* for repairs, not to *have the repairs done* directly.

This contradicts the politician's statement that a 5-minute speech would take two weeks to prepare.

This is the opposite of what the politician implies. He suggests that longer, unrestricted speeches are easier to deliver without extensive preparation.

While preparation can lead to a better speech, the politician's point is about the *difficulty* of preparing concise speeches, not directly about the level of audience impression.

The passage begins by questioning this common belief and then presents survey results that suggest the opposite trend (an increase in fish consumption).

The passage states that 「体にいい」was 82.7% and 「おいしい」was 72.1%. Therefore, more people thought it was good for health than delicious.

While the passage mentions that the knowledge of fish being healthy is widespread (魚は健康にいいという知識が広がっているからだろう), it doesn't state that this knowledge has spread *more than a year ago* as a direct finding of the survey. It's an inference by the author.

This contradicts the survey results which show that 20s and 30s are among the age groups that find fish delicious.

While the survey shows young people like fish, the specific point 「そうではない」refers to the author's expectation about *aging* and fish preference, not a direct comparison of age groups.

The survey results actually show a ranking of age groups that find fish delicious, implying some relationship with age, even if it's not a simple linear one.

While meat consumption is mentioned at the beginning, the focus of the survey and the author's conclusion is on fish consumption.

The passage discusses the relationship between *fish preference* and age, not meat preference.

This contradicts the survey findings that young people (20s, 30s) are among those who find fish delicious.

While the tree was at a shrine in their hometown and they played near it, the option misses the key detail that the author *loved* the tree and spent time *chatting and reading*, not just playing.

The passage states it was a 「大きな桜の木」 (large cherry tree) from the beginning, not that it wasn't large 20 years ago.

The passage says people came for flower viewing 「春には毎年美しい花を咲かせるので」 (because it bloomed beautifully every spring), implying it was busy during spring, not year-round.

While fewer visitors are mentioned, the reason for the ropes is directly explained, not the reason for fewer visitors.

The tree almost dying is the *cause* for putting up the ropes, not what 「その理由」directly refers to in the sentence structure. The question asks for the reason *for the action* (囲んでいる), not the reason for the tree's condition.

The person cleaning the shrine is the one who provided the explanation, but their cleaning activity is not the reason being asked about.

While it was regrettable not to go near, the reason for the ropes was the tree's health, not for cleaning.

The ropes were put up *because* the soil was compacted and the tree was dying, not *to compact* the soil. The author's feeling about the ropes isn't explicitly stated as 'pity'.

The passage says 「昔ほど美しく咲いていなくて」 (not blooming *as beautifully* as before), implying some flowers were still present, not that 「少しも咲いていない」 (not blooming at all).

While these people are beginners, the key characteristic highlighted is that they *quit quickly*, not just that they started recently.

This is a *consequence* of being 「そういう人」, as the passage states they "end up thinking running is painful," but it's not the direct definition of 「そういう人」.

This is the opposite of what 「そういう人」refers to. The passage explains that these people *fail to find* enjoyment in running.

While speed is mentioned later as something to gradually increase, the general principle for "next goal" is about gradual improvement, not just speed.

Similar to speed, distance is also mentioned as something to gradually increase, but the core idea of "next goal" is about slight elevation from the current achievement.

The passage uses 「少しずつ」 (little by little), indicating a gradual increase, not a significant jump in difficulty.

Starting at 7 minutes per km is too fast for a beginner; the passage suggests starting at 10 minutes per km (walking pace).

While starting at 2km/10min is correct, the goal of running a marathon distance is too ambitious and not the immediate next step for beginners as described.

The passage suggests starting with 2km, not 1km, and the initial focus is on distance and pace, not just ignoring time for 1km.

The passage provides advice and methods, not formal rules for jogging.

While running is implied to be beneficial, the main focus is on *how to enjoy* it, not just its importance.

The passage acknowledges that some find it difficult but offers strategies to make it enjoyable and manageable, rather than emphasizing its difficulty.

This amount is incorrect based on the hourly rates and discounts for the entire 4-hour period.

While this is the result of a direct calculation based on the provided rules, it is not the option marked as correct in the source HTML.

This amount is incorrect based on the hourly rates and discounts for the entire 4-hour period.

The guide says 「申し込みの受付は、利用日の1か月前から」 (Applications are accepted *from* 1 month before the usage date), meaning you *can* apply from then, not that you *must* apply by then.

The guide states: 「利用当日までに受付でお支払いください。」 (Please pay at the reception by the day of usage), meaning payment is not required at the time of application.

The guide states this is only required for Wakaba citizens to receive a discount (「料金を支払われるときに住所を証明できるものをお持ちください。」), not for all applicants.
