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

Can you choose the correct answer?

[Answer]
A：どうして食べないの？
B：(1 だって)、これ、嫌いなんだもん。
A: Why aren’t you eating?
B: Because… I don’t like this.
だって
= casual way to give a reason or excuse
It often sounds a bit childish or cute.
In this sentence:
A asks WHY B isn’t eating.
→ B gives a reason in a casual, childlike way.
だって fits perfectly here with 〜んだもん in casual conversation.
だって + reason + んだもん
= “Because… (casual/defensive tone)”
✖ Other choices:
なぜなら
→ “because.” BUT it’s too formal for this casual conversation.
しかし
→ “however” or “but.”
それから
→ “and then” or “after that.”
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
