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 upper beginners (JLPT N4)!
Can you choose the correct answer?

[Answer]
妹は（2 まじめ）ですから、授業は休みません。
My younger sister is diligent, so she doesn’t skip class.
The key is to find the reason for the result.
Result: 授業は休みません (doesn’t skip class)
Reason: 妹は(＿＿)ですから (because my sister is…)
We need a personality word that explains why someone wouldn’t skip class.
まじめ
= “serious,” “diligent,” or “earnest”
This describes someone who takes their studies or work seriously.
So, まじめ is the best choice.
✖ Other Choices:
1. きれい
= “beautiful, clean”
3. にぎやか
= “lively, bustling”
4. たいへん
= “difficult, tough, very”
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
