[Answer]
(電車の中で)
A:東京へは何時につきますか。
B:9時(4 ごろ)つきますよ。
(On a train)
A: What time will we arrive in Tokyo?
B: We’ll arrive around nine.
Time+ごろ
= around+time
First, look at A’s question:
何時(なんじ)に
= what time
And B’s answer:
9時(じ)
= nine o’clock
We are talking about a time on the clock.
To say “around” with a time, we use:
〜ごろ
= around ~
9時ごろ
= around nine
Maybe a little before nine.
Maybe a little after nine.
9時ごろつきますよ。
= We’ll arrive around nine.
So, the correct answer is 4 ごろ.
✖ Other choices:
1 ぐらい
= about
We can also say 9時ぐらいにつきます.
But there is no に here.
Choose ごろ for this sentence.
2 まで
= until
3 から
= from
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
