Transcript: A neighborhood center offered a repair cafe where families could learn to mend clothing and simple wooden furniture. Forty-five people registered, but only thirty-nine attended. The volunteers completed twenty-seven small repairs during the event. The organizer pointed out that a repair count was not the number of different people attending, since a family might repair more than one item. Staff will ask participants later whether their repaired items remain useful. The center will not claim that it saved a specific amount of money because it did not collect the prices of replacement products.

正解：A. It had not collected replacement prices
根拠：did not collect prices of replacement products。
全文和訳：地域センターは衣服や簡単な木製家具の修理を学ぶ会を開いた。登録45人、出席39人で、修理27件を完了した。修理件数は異なる参加者数ではなく、一家庭が複数品を修理することもある。後日修理品の使用状況を確認する予定で、交換品の価格を調べていないので具体的な節約額は断定しない。

Transcript: A museum received sixty old maps and postcards. Volunteers scanned fifty-two, but eight still required careful cleaning. Several scanned maps lacked clear dates. The curator asked students to compare the details with old town records rather than invent exact years. The museum had permission to display some images inside its building, but that did not automatically allow public online publication. Staff decided to keep unapproved images in a private archive while contacting their owners.

正解：B. Eight
根拠：60−52＝8。
全文和訳：博物館は昔の地図・絵葉書60点を受け取り52点をスキャンしたが残り8点は清掃が必要。日付が不明な物もあり推測で正確な年を書かず古い町の記録と照合した。館内展示許可と一般オンライン公開許可は別なので未承認画像を非公開保管し所有者へ連絡した。

Transcript: A library tested opening its study room on two evenings every week. The first month had eighty reservations, but only sixty-four recorded visits. Some students booked more than once. The librarian explained that reservations, visits, and unique users were not the same number. Officials approved another month of testing, but had not yet agreed to open the room every night. The library also needed enough trained staff to check the room and help visitors safely.

正解：C. One additional month of testing
根拠：approved another month of testing。

Transcript: A town hall tested a new map using large letters and clear symbols for meeting rooms. Twenty volunteers tried the first version, and seventeen found the rooms without help.

Staff said the positive results from a small trial did not prove that every visitor would understand the map.

正解：D. A revised symbol will be tested again
根拠：changed symbol and scheduled another test。

Transcript: Students measured water temperatures at three points along a river. During one afternoon, the downstream location was the warmest. One student suggested that a nearby building caused the difference. However, the teacher explained that time, water depth and sunlight might also affect the results. The group decided to repeat measurements on several days before making a statement about the cause. They wrote the first observation accurately but described the building explanation only as a possibility.

正解：A. Repeat measurements on several days
根拠：repeat measurements several days before cause claim。
全文和訳：生徒は川沿い3地点の水温を測りある午後は下流が最も高かった。近くの建物が原因ではと生徒が提案したが、時刻・水深・日照も影響し得るため複数日に再測定することにした。最初の観測は正確に書く一方、建物の説明は可能性として示した。

Transcript: A town provided bicycles for people traveling between the railway station and a public park. The first month recorded three hundred trips. A reporter called this three hundred different users, but the town corrected the statement because some residents made return journeys or borrowed bicycles several times. Officials planned to measure the number of unique riders separately. They also wanted to check whether the bicycles were inspected often enough before deciding to expand the service.

正解：B. Trips did not equal different users
根拠：return journeys and repeated rentals。
全文和訳：町は駅から公園への自転車共有を始め、初月300回の利用記録があった。記者が異なる300人と呼んだのを、往復や複数回利用があるため町が訂正した。固有利用者数は別に測り、サービス拡大前に点検頻度も確認する。

Transcript: A community center organized a free lecture about local wildlife. Ninety people registered, but only seventy-four came to the hall. The center prepared printed materials for eighty participants, so six copies remained after the lecture. Staff explained that preparing eighty copies did not mean eighty people attended.

正解：C. Six
根拠：80 copies−74 attendees＝6 remaining。
全文和訳：地域センターは野生生物の無料講演を開き、90人登録したが実出席は74人。印刷資料を80部用意したので6部余った。資料の準備数は出席人数を意味しない。講演中の写真のネット公開にも適切な許可が必要と説明された。

Transcript: After repairs changed the route to a market square, a town updated its official online map. Old printed maps still showed the previous road, and some visitors became confused. Workers placed temporary arrows near the station while waiting for new permanent signs. The manager said the permanent signs would be installed only after the safety officer had inspected the new route. A completed road repair was not the same as a final permission to open every part of the path.

正解：D. After the safety inspection of the route
根拠：installed only after safety inspection。
全文和訳：広場への道が工事で変わり町は公式ネット地図を更新したが紙地図は旧道のままで来訪者が混乱した。新しい恒久標識を待つ間駅近くに臨時矢印を設置した。恒久標識は安全担当者が新経路を点検した後に設置し、道路修理完了と全区域の最終利用許可は別だと説明した。

Transcript: A school cooking club received donated ingredients for a workshop. A volunteer noticed that two packages lacked clear information about possible allergens. The teacher asked students not to use those packages until trained staff confirmed their ingredients and whether they could be used safely. The club prepared a different menu using labeled ingredients instead. The teacher explained that food looking fresh was not enough to establish its safety for every participant.

正解：A. Use only clearly labeled ingredients
根拠：different menu using labeled ingredients。
全文和訳：学校の調理部は寄贈材料を受け取ったが2包装にはアレルゲン表示が不明確だった。教師は訓練済みの職員が原材料と安全性を確認するまで使用を止め、表示のある材料で別メニューを準備した。見た目が新鮮でも参加者全員の安全を証明できない。

Transcript: A history club recorded thirty interviews with local residents. All recordings were edited, but only twenty-three speakers had agreed to public online sharing. The other seven recordings were kept privately while staff asked for permission. The curator explained that recording and editing a person’s voice did not automatically give permission to publish it. Students could still learn from approved summaries, depending on the conditions the speakers had agreed to.

正解：B. Seven
根拠：30 total−23 approved＝7。
全文和訳：歴史部は住民の取材30件を録音し全件編集したが、ネット公開に同意したのは23人だけ。残り7件は許可を待つ間非公開保管した。録音や編集をしただけで公開権限は発生せず、話者の合意した範囲で承認済み要約を利用できる。

Transcript: Students placed two thermometers in different parts of a school garden. One produced unusually high readings after several sunny afternoons. The teacher asked them to compare it with a reference instrument and check its position. They discovered it was close to a wall warmed by sunlight.

正解：C. A thermometer’s position
根拠：moved thermometer away from warm wall。
全文和訳：生徒は庭の2地点に温度計を設置し、一台が晴れた午後に高い値を示した。基準器との比較と場所確認により日光で暖まった壁の近くに置かれていたと判明。移動して再測定し両方記録した。最初の値だけで地域気候の恒久変化とは主張しなかった。

Transcript: A town tested a small ferry between two islands. Sixteen trips were planned for the month, but bad weather prevented four departures. Twelve were completed. Staff reminded residents that trip numbers did not show the number of different passengers. A family might ride twice on a return journey. The town planned to compare actual passenger numbers with fuel and maintenance costs before deciding whether to continue the service permanently.

正解：D. Twelve
根拠：16 planned−4 prevented＝12。
全文和訳：町は2島間のフェリーを試し、月16便予定のうち荒天で4便を中止し12便を実施した。便数は異なる乗客数と違い、家族が往復で2回乗ることもある。恒久運行前に実際の乗客数・燃料費・保守費を比較する計画だった。

Transcript: A museum prepared copies of old objects that visitors could touch. The originals were too fragile for direct handling. Staff checked which materials were safe and made signs explaining what visitors were allowed to touch. During a small trial, several children had trouble distinguishing copies from originals. The museum revised its signs and planned another test before opening the display to all visitors. The manager said that the first positive comments did not remove the need for safety checks.

正解：A. The original objects were too fragile to touch
根拠：originals too fragile for direct handling。
全文和訳：博物館は触って学べる古い資料の複製を用意した。実物は傷みやすく直接触れない。職員は材料を確認し触れてよい物を示す標識を設置したが、試験では複製と原本を区別しにくい子もいたため標識を改訂して再試験予定となった。最初の好評だけで安全確認は不要にならない。

Transcript: A secondary school worked with local officials to identify safer cycling routes. Students reported damaged signs and narrow paths but were not asked to stand beside busy roads. Officials used the reports to plan possible improvements. One resident claimed that every reported problem had already been repaired, but the school corrected the statement. Reporting a danger did not mean funding or repairs had been approved. Students were told to follow the latest official route information.

正解：B. A claim that all reported problems had been repaired
根拠：reporting problems did not mean repairs approved。
全文和訳：学校は自治体と自転車通学路の安全を調べた。生徒は傷んだ標識や狭い道を報告したが、車の多い道路脇へ立つ指示はなかった。自治体は改善検討に利用したが、「報告された問題は全て修理済み」との住民の主張を学校が訂正。危険報告と予算・修理承認は別で、最新の公式経路に従うよう求めた。

Transcript: A community center accepted online applications for a science workshop. Forty-two people registered, but twelve applications were missing required information.

正解：C. Wednesday
根拠：accepted applicants email on Wednesday。
