JLPT Reading for Specific Information 3

Question 1

An apartment listing states: 'Rent ¥80,000/month. Security deposit: 2 months' rent. Agency fee: 1 month's rent. Pets allowed with ¥20,000 additional deposit.' What is the total initial cost for a pet owner?

Accepted Answer

¥340,000

Answer

Security deposit ¥160,000 + agency fee ¥80,000 + pet deposit ¥20,000 + first month ¥80,000 = ¥340,000.

Question 2

A warranty card reads: 'Covers manufacturing defects for 1 year. Does not cover damage from misuse, water damage, or cosmetic scratches. Register within 30 days for extended 2-year coverage.' A phone screen cracked due to a drop after 6 months. Is this covered?

Accepted Answer

No, physical damage from a drop counts as misuse

Answer

A cracked screen from dropping is physical damage/misuse, which is explicitly excluded from warranty coverage.

Question 3

A train schedule shows that the express train stops at: Station A (depart 7:00), Station C (arrive 7:22), Station E (arrive 7:45). The local train stops at every station A through E. Which station does the express train SKIP?

Accepted Answer

Stations B and D

Answer

The express only stops at A, C, and E, meaning it skips both B and D.

Question 4

A restaurant menu note says: 'Lunch set available 11:30–14:00 weekdays only. Dinner menu available from 17:00 daily. Last order 21:30.' A customer visits at 15:00 on a Saturday. Which menu can they order from?

Accepted Answer

Neither the lunch set nor dinner menu is available at that time

Answer

The lunch set ends at 14:00 and only on weekdays; dinner starts at 17:00, so at 15:00 Saturday neither is available.

Question 5

A library notice states: 'Books may be borrowed for 2 weeks. Maximum 5 books at one time. DVDs: 1-week loan, maximum 2 at a time. Renewals allowed once if no holds.' A member has 5 books and wants to borrow 1 DVD. Can they?

Accepted Answer

Yes, DVD borrowing is tracked separately from books

Answer

Books and DVDs have separate limits (5 and 2 respectively), so the member can still borrow up to 2 DVDs.
