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]

 

男女を(__)だれでも参加できます。

*だんじょを(__)だれでも さんかできます。

 

1 問えば (とえば)

2 問わず (とわず)

3 問うと (とうと)

4 問えず (とえず)

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Answer]

 

男女を (2 問わず) だれでも参加できます。

Anyone can join, regardless of gender.

 

 

〜を問わず

= “regardless of ~” or “without regard to ~”.

This phrase means: it doesn’t matter, no need to consider this factor.

 

Structure:

noun + を問わず

 

男女

= gender (noun)

 

→ 男女を問わず

= “regardless of gender”

 

 

So, 問わず is the best choice.

 

 

✖ Other Choices:

1. 問えば

This is the conditional form (“if you ask”).

 

3. 問うと

This means “when you ask” or “if you ask”.

 

4. 問えず

This is the negative potential form (“cannot ask”).

 

 

I hope this explanation helps! 😊
