โ“ Practice Question

Explanation

English Explanation

Let's break down this question. The key is to find the word that means 'influence' or 'effect' and collocates naturally with ใ€ŒไธŽใˆใ‚‹ใ€ (ataeru - to give, to exert) in the context of a person's thinking impacting another person. ### Correct Answer: ๅฝฑ้Ÿฟ (ใˆใ„ใใ‚‡ใ† - eikyล) **Why it's correct:** `ๅฝฑ้Ÿฟ` means 'influence', 'effect', or 'impact'. It refers to the power of one thing to cause a change in another. The phrase `ๅฝฑ้Ÿฟใ‚’ไธŽใˆใ‚‹` (eikyล o ataeru) is a very common and natural set phrase meaning 'to have an influence/effect on'. * **In a sentence:** ่ฆชใฎ่€ƒใˆๆ–นใฏใ€ๅญไพ›ใซๅคงใใช**ๅฝฑ้Ÿฟ**ใ‚’ไธŽใˆใ‚‹ใ€‚ (Oya no kangaekata wa, kodomo ni ookina **eikyล** o ataeru.) *A parent's way of thinking has a great **influence** on their child.* This fits the context perfectly, describing the formative impact of a parent's mindset on a child. ### Incorrect Choices **1. ๅฐ่ฑก (ใ„ใ‚“ใ—ใ‚‡ใ† - inshล)** * **Meaning:** 'Impression'. This word describes the feeling or image one gets from seeing or meeting someone or something for the first time. It's about perception, not a deep, continuous impact. * **Why it's wrong:** While you can ใ€Œๅฐ่ฑกใ‚’ไธŽใˆใ‚‹ใ€ (give an impression), it doesn't fit the context of a parent's long-term, fundamental influence on a child's development. 'Impression' is more superficial and often initial. * **Example:** ๅฝผใฎ็ฌฌไธ€**ๅฐ่ฑก**ใฏใจใฆใ‚‚่‰ฏใ‹ใฃใŸใ€‚ (Kare no daiichi-**inshล** wa totemo yokatta.) *My first **impression** of him was very good.* **2. ๆ„Ÿๅ‹• (ใ‹ใ‚“ใฉใ† - kandล)** * **Meaning:** 'Being deeply moved', 'inspiration'. This refers to a strong emotional response, like being touched by a movie or a kind act. * **Why it's wrong:** `ๆ„Ÿๅ‹•` is an emotional state. While a story or event can ใ€Œๆ„Ÿๅ‹•ใ‚’ไธŽใˆใ‚‹ใ€ (move someone, inspire someone), it doesn't describe the broad, ongoing process of influence that shapes a person. The sentence implies a formative power, not a single emotional moment. * **Example:** ใใฎๆ˜ ็”ปใฏๅคšใใฎไบบใซ**ๆ„Ÿๅ‹•**ใ‚’ไธŽใˆใŸใ€‚ (Sono eiga wa ooku no hito ni **kandล** o ataeta.) *That movie **moved** many people.* **3. ็ตๆžœ (ใ‘ใฃใ‹ - kekka)** * **Meaning:** 'Result', 'consequence', 'outcome'. This word points to the final state after a process or action has concluded. * **Why it's wrong:** `็ตๆžœ` is the *outcome* of an influence, not the influence itself. A parent's influence leads to certain results in a child's behavior, but the sentence is talking about the influencing force itself. The phrase ใ€Œ็ตๆžœใ‚’ไธŽใˆใ‚‹ใ€ (give a result) is unnatural in this context. You 'produce' or 'bring about' a result (็ตๆžœใ‚’ๅ‡บใ™, ็ตๆžœใ‚’ใ‚‚ใŸใ‚‰ใ™). * **Example:** ๅŠชๅŠ›ใฎ**็ตๆžœ**ใ€่ฉฆ้จ“ใซๅˆๆ ผใ—ใŸใ€‚ (Doryoku no **kekka**, shiken ni gลkaku shita.) *As a **result** of my efforts, I passed the exam.*
