こんにちは、ちか先生です。

Konnichiwa, it’s Chika Sensei.

 

Today, I’m sharing a practice question for JLPT prep.

This one’s for pre-advanced learners (JLPT N2)!

Can you choose the correct answer?

 

 

[Practice Question]

 

航空写真を見る(__)、火山の爆発による被害はない、と思われます。

*こうくうしゃしんをみる(__)、かざんのばくはつによるひがいはない、とおもわれます。

 

1 一方(いっぽう)では

2 ものの

3 となると

4 かぎりでは

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Answer]

 

航空写真を見る(4 かぎりでは)、火山の爆発による被害はない、と思われます。

From what we can see in the aerial photos, it seems there is no damage from the volcanic eruption.

 

 

〜かぎりでは

= “as far as ~” / “based on ~” (limited information)

This phrase means “based only on this information.”

So we are not 100% sure.

In this sentence:

航空写真を見るかぎりでは

= As far as we can see from the aerial photos

 

→ There seems to be no damage.

 

It implies:

Other sources might say something different, but based on these photos, it seems OK.

 

So, that’s why かぎりでは is the correct answer.

 

 

✖ Other Choices:

一方では

= “on the other hand” / “at the same time”

 

ものの

= “although ~” / “but ~”

 

となると

= “if that’s the case, then ~”

 

 

 

I hope this explanation helps! 😊
