こんにちは、ちか先生です。
Konnichiwa, it’s Chika Sensei.

[Answer]
せっかく遠くまで（3 会いに行ったのに）、彼女に会えなかった。
I went all the way to see her, but I couldn’t meet her.
〜のに is used when something unexpected happens.
It often shows feelings like disappointment or frustration.
せっかく means “with effort” or “taking the trouble.”
In this sentence:
The speaker tried hard and traveled a long way.
Naturally, we expect that they would be able to meet her.
But in fact, they couldn’t meet her.
The opposite result happened.
That’s why the speaker feels disappointed. So we use のに.
Other choices:
ので
= because
から
= because (a little more casual than ので)
ため
= in order to
Only のに fits here, because the result is the opposite of what we expect.
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
