英検1級の語彙問題では、4つの選択肢がすべて意味の近い語族になっていることがあります。そのとき重要なのが、空所に必要な品詞を見抜くことです。この記事では、-tion・-ity・-ive・-alなどの語尾を手掛かりに、名詞・形容詞・副詞・動詞の形を確定する独自36問を掲載します。

語形は「意味」より先に確認する

例えば「The policy has a significant ___ on employment.」なら、has a significantの後に必要なのは名詞なのでeffectが候補になります。4択を全部和訳する前に、空所の前後から品詞を決めると処理が速くなります。

よく出る語尾

  • -tion / -sion:名詞
  • -ity:名詞
  • -ive:形容詞
  • -al:形容詞・一部名詞
  • -ly:副詞

最後に意味を確認する

語形で候補を一つに絞れても、最後には意味と語法を確認します。品詞だけ合っていて意味が合わない選択肢もあるため、「品詞→意味→コロケーション」の順で確定すると安定します。
