N4 Vocabulary Flashcards

私は_____パンが大好きです。

Answer: やわらかい

The sentence translates to 'I love _____ bread.' Among the given options, 'やわらかい' (yawarakai) means 'soft,' which is the most natural and appropriate adjective to describe bread that someone loves. The other options, 'おそい' (slow), 'やさしい' (kind/easy), and '低い' (low), do not logically fit the context of describing bread.

ブラザーは_____に座っています。

Answer: いす

The sentence translates to 'My brother is sitting on the _____.' The most logical object to sit on among the choices is 'いす' (isu), which means 'chair.' The other options, 'いし' (stone), 'おかね' (money), and 'あし' (leg/foot), do not fit the context of sitting.

怖いテレビはありますか______？

Answer: ばんぐみ

The sentence asks 'Do you have scary TV _____?' The most suitable word to complete this question is 'ばんぐみ' (bangumi), which means 'program' or 'show.' This forms the natural phrase 'scary TV program.' The other options, 'タイプ' (type), 'スクリーン' (screen), and 'よやく' (reservation), do not fit the context of asking about television content.

______どこにでも、このメモを持参してください。

Answer: 行く

The sentence translates to 'Please bring this memo with you _____ anywhere.' The verb '行く' (iku), meaning 'to go,' is the most appropriate choice to complete the phrase '行くどこにでも' (iku dokoni demo). This phrase idiomatically translates to 'wherever you go' or 'when going anywhere,' making it the only option that logically fits the context of carrying a memo to various locations.

_____から小説を借りました。

Answer: としょかん

The sentence asks where one would borrow a novel from. A library (としょかん) is specifically designed for borrowing books, including novels. The other options like a bookstore, gym, or bank are not places where you typically borrow novels.

部屋を暖かく保つために______を追加します。

Answer: ヒータ

The sentence states the goal is to keep the room warm. A heater (ヒータ) is a device specifically used to generate heat and raise the temperature of a room. The other options, such as tools, cooling systems, or lamps, do not serve the purpose of warming a room.

私は昨夜遅くまでメモを読んでいたので、私は_____です。

Answer: ねむい

The speaker mentions staying up late last night reading notes. This activity commonly leads to a feeling of tiredness or sleepiness. Therefore, 'ねむい' (sleepy) is the most logical consequence of reading late into the night.

春、夏、秋、冬は日本の4人の_____です。

Answer: 季節

Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter are universally recognized as the four distinct periods of the year characterized by specific weather patterns. In Japanese, these are referred to as '季節' (seasons). The other options do not accurately categorize these terms.

これに加えて、4枚のシャツがあります。 その______を使用してください。

Answer: エスカレーター

This question seems to imply a scenario where one is moving between floors in a multi-story building, perhaps a department store where shirts are sold. An escalator (エスカレーター) is a common means of transport between floors in such establishments. Therefore, to access a different section or floor, one would 'use the escalator'.

花子は赤いドレスと______を着ています。

Answer: サンダル

The sentence describes Hanako wearing a red dress and another item. Sandals (サンダル) are a type of footwear that are commonly worn with dresses, especially in warmer weather. The other options are either upper body garments or an accessory, not typically paired with a dress in the same category as footwear.

母は日本に旅行するときはいつも私に______を連れてきます。

Answer: おみやげ

The sentence states that the mother travels to Japan and always brings something back for the speaker. When someone travels, they typically bring back 'おみやげ' (souvenirs) as gifts or mementos from their trip. The other options do not fit this context.

その大きな________は音楽店です。

Answer: ビル

The sentence identifies a large structure as a music store. A music store, like most commercial establishments, is typically housed within a 'ビル' (building). The other options describe specific types of locations (resort, restaurant, apartment) rather than a general structure for a store.

この時計はその時計よりも_______です。

Answer: はきやすい

The sentence compares two watches, stating one is '_______' than the other. The verb 履く (haku) can be used for wearing items like watches. To express 'easy to wear,' the correct grammatical form is 'はきやすい,' which combines the verb stem 履き with the suffix -やすい (easy to do).

手間をかけずに______を続行してください。

Answer: ゆっくり

The phrase '手間をかけずに' means 'without trouble or hassle.' To continue an action without trouble, one should proceed 'ゆっくり' (slowly or gently), implying a smooth and unhurried continuation. The other adverbs do not convey this sense of ease and lack of trouble.

大声で話していたので、私は_______であると言われました。

Answer: うるさい

The speaker was talking loudly, which typically makes a person 'うるさい' (noisy or annoying). Being told one is noisy is a direct consequence of speaking at a high volume. The other options do not logically follow from talking loudly in this context.

簡単なので、1日は______です。

Answer: 足りる

The sentence states that because something is easy, one day is '_______.' If a task is easy, then one day is '足りる' (enough or sufficient) to complete it. The other options do not convey the idea of adequacy or sufficiency of time for an easy task.
