Konnichiwa, it’s Chika Sensei.

Today, I’m sharing a practice from my exclusive course. This one’s for Pre-Advanced learners (JLPT N2)! Can you answer correctly?

 

[Practice Question]

 

こんな寒い日には、あたたかいものを(__)。

こんなさむいひには、あたたかいものを(__)。

 

1 飲(の)まないに限(かぎ)る
2 飲むに限る
3 飲まないに限らない
4 飲むに限らない

 

 

 



 

 

 

[Answer]

 

こんな寒い日には、あたたかいものを(2 飲むに限る)。

On a cold day like this, nothing beats drinking something warm.

 

 

〜に限る
– Means “This is the best choice” or “Nothing beats this.”
– Used to emphasize that something is the ideal or most appropriate choice.

2 飲むに限る
– Drinking is the best choice.

 

In this sentence, the speaker is saying that drinking something warm is the best thing to do on a cold day.

 

 

Other Choices:

1. 飲まないに限る:
– Not drinking is the best choice.

〜に限らない:
– Means “not limited to ~.”

3. 飲まないに限らない:
– Not drinking is not the only option.

4. 飲むに限らない:
– Drinking is not the only option.

 

 

I hope this explanation helps! 😊
