結論｜5動詞の対象と文型

「奨学金の申請料が免除された」ことは「奨学金に受かった」ことを意味しません。また、報告書から一段落がomittedされた場合、元のデータが分析からexcludedされたとは限りません。誰に何の義務があり、何が資料から除かれ、誰の資格が失われたかを分けて読めば、内容一致の誤答を防ぎやすくなります。

独自長文1｜奨学金の応募資格と申請費用

A private scholarship foundation introduced a new application process. It decided to waive the application fee for families affected by recent flooding, but the fee waiver did not guarantee that an applicant would receive a scholarship. Applicants who had completed an equivalent verification course were exempt from attending the foundation’s introductory training. In contrast, applicants who did not submit the required consent form were excluded from the dataset used for the program’s research evaluation. The foundation also announced that anyone submitting deliberately falsified academic records would be disqualified from the scholarship competition. When reviewing the public report, an editor noticed that the draft had omitted a paragraph explaining how many applicants had received fee waivers. The foundation restored the missing paragraph before publication. It emphasized that exempting people from a requirement, waiving a fee, excluding data, disqualifying applicants and omitting information were different decisions.

D1. Who could have the application fee waived?

D2. What training exemption was available?

D3. What could disqualify an applicant from the competition?

D4. What information was omitted from the draft report?

独自長文2｜公共施設の利用と調査の透明性

A community center ran a free study program for local students. Most participants were required to attend a short safety orientation, but students who had completed approved training elsewhere were exempt from that requirement. The center waived equipment-rental fees for households that met its assistance criteria. At the same time, the program’s evaluation team excluded responses from participants who had not given permission for their data to be analyzed. When preparing a report, staff accidentally omitted the results from one small school, even though its students had completed the survey correctly. The director asked the team to restore the missing section rather than disqualify the school from future activities. In a separate competition, the center’s rules did allow it to disqualify participants who had intentionally submitted another person’s work. The director stressed that a missing section in a report should not be confused with exclusion from a dataset or formal loss of competition eligibility.

D5. Who was exempt from safety orientation?

D6. Which households could receive waived equipment fees?

D7. Why were some survey responses excluded from analysis?

D8. Did the omitted school lose future participation eligibility?

原文：The program exempted qualified students from introductory training and waived their application fees.。この文は研修を不要にし申請料の請求をやめたという意味で、参加資格を失わせたのではありません。The program disqualified qualified students.とすると事実が反転します。安全な要約例はEligible students did not need to complete the introductory course or pay application fees.です。
