1Read the following Japanese sentence: 『私は毎日、７時に起きます。』 What is the correct reading and meaning of the underlined kanji compound 「毎日」?
A.まいにち (mainichi) — every day
B.まいあさ (maiasa) — every morning
C.まいばん (maiban) — every night
D.まい週 (maishuu) — every week
Explanation: The kanji compound 「毎日」 is read as まいにち (mainichi) and means 'every day'. It combines 「毎」 (every) and 「日」 (day), which is one of the foundational prescribed NESA Continuers kanji.
2Which particle correctly completes the sentence indicating the location where an action takes place? 『図書館（ ）日本語を勉強します。』
A.に (ni)
B.で (de)
C.を (wo)
D.へ (he)
Explanation: The particle 「で」 is used to mark the location where an action occurs (studying at the library). In contrast, 「に」 indicates existence or destination, 「を」 marks the direct object, and 「へ」 indicates direction.
3How do you form a polite request in Japanese using the verb 「書きます」 (to write)?
A.書かないでください (Kakanaide kudasai)
B.書くことができません (Kaku koto ga dekimasen)
C.書いてください (Kaite kudasai)
D.書きましょう (Kakimashou)
Explanation: A polite request is formed by attaching 「〜てください」 to the te-form of a verb. For 「書きます」 (Group 1 verb), the te-form is 「書いて」, making 「書いてください」 ('Please write').
4Which Japanese sentence correctly expresses the past experience of having visited Japan ('I have been to Japan before')?
A.日本へ行くつもりです。
B.日本へ行きたいです。
C.日本へ行かなければなりません。
D.日本へ行ったことがあります。
Explanation: Past experience is expressed using the plain past form (ta-form) + 「ことがあります」. Thus, 「日本へ行ったことがあります」 translates directly to 'I have been to Japan before'.
5Under the syllabus theme 'The Individual', when talking about your own family to someone outside your family, which term should you use to refer to your own mother?
A.母 (haha)
B.お母さん (okaasan)
C.おばさん (obasan)
D.おばあさん (obaasan)
Explanation: In Japanese ingroup/outgroup (uchi/soto) dynamics, you use humble terms for your own family when speaking to outsiders. Therefore, you refer to your own mother as 「母」 (haha). 「お母さん」 is used to address your mother directly or refer to someone else's mother.
6Which particle fill-in correctly completes the sentence: 『来週、友達（ ）海へ行きます。』 to mean 'Next week, I will go to the beach with a friend'?
A.に (ni)
B.と (to)
C.から (kara)
D.より (yori)
Explanation: The particle 「と」 is used to indicate companionship ('together with'). Thus, 「友達と」 means 'with a friend'.
7Identify the correct reading and meaning for the prescribed NESA kanji compound 「病院」.
A.びよういん (biyouin) — beauty salon
B.だいがく (daigaku) — university
C.びょういん (byouin) — hospital
D.きっさてん (kissaten) — coffee shop
Explanation: 「病院」 combines 「病」 (illness) and 「院」 (institution), read as びょういん (byouin) meaning 'hospital'. Note the long 'byou' sound compared to びよういん (beauty salon).
8Choose the correct structure to state a strict prohibition in Japanese ('You must not take photos here'): 『ここで写真を（ ）。』
A.撮ってもいいです (totte mo ii desu)
B.撮りたいです (toritai desu)
C.撮ることができます (toru koto ga dekimasu)
D.撮ってはいけません (totte wa ikemasen)
Explanation: Prohibition ('must not do') is expressed using verb te-form + 「はいけません」. Therefore, 「撮ってはいけません」 means 'You must not take photos'.

A.いただきます (itadakimasu)
B.ごちそうさまでした (gochisoosama deshita)
C.いってきます (ittekimasu)
D.おかえりなさい (okaerinasai)
Explanation: Before eating a meal in Japan, it is customary to say 「いただきます」 (itadakimasu), which humbly acknowledges receiving the meal and thanks those who prepared it and the nature that provided it.
10What is the reading and meaning of the NESA prescribed kanji compound 「勉強」 in the sentence 『毎日、日本語を勉強します。』?
A.しゅくだい (shukudai) — homework
B.べんきょう (benkyou) — study
