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 intermediate learners (JLPT N3)!
Can you choose the correct answer?
[Practice Question]
雑誌に紹介されている店が（＿＿）いいとは限らない。

2 必ずしも

[Answer]
雑誌に紹介されている店が（2 必ずしも）いいとは限らない。
Shops introduced in magazines are not always good.
The key grammar here is:
必ずしも 〜 とは限らない
= “not necessarily ~” / “not always ~”
This is called Partial Negation.
It means “not 100% true.”
In this sentence:
Just because a shop is in a magazine, that doesn’t mean it is a good shop. (Some are good, but not all of them.)
Look at the end of the sentence: 〜とは限らない.
This phrase pairs with the adverb 必ずしも.
So, 必ずしも is the correct choice.
✖ Other Choices:
1. まるで
→ Used with 〜ようだ / 〜みたいだ (“just like…”)
3. たとえ
→ Used with 〜ても (“even if…”)
4. もしかすると
→ Used with 〜かもしれない (“possibly…”)
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
