to oppose

โ“ Practice Question

Explanation

English Explanation

This question tests your understanding of verbs related to obedience and opposition, focusing on the subtle nuances between them. The sentence is: ๅญไพ›ใฏ่ฆชใฎ่จ€ใ„ใคใ‘ใซ๏ผˆใ€€ใ€€๏ผ‰ใฏใ„ใ‘ใชใ„ใ€‚ (Kodomo wa oya no iitsuke ni (...) wa ikenai.) meaning "A child should not (...) their parents' instructions." **[Correct] ้€†ใ‚‰ใฃใฆ (sakaratte)** * **Reasoning:** The verb `้€†ใ‚‰ใ† (sakarau)` means 'to go against,' 'to oppose,' or 'to disobey.' It's the most natural and common choice for expressing defiance against an order, instruction, or a superior's will. The phrase `่จ€ใ„ใคใ‘ใซ้€†ใ‚‰ใ† (iitsuke ni sakarau)` is a standard expression for 'disobeying an instruction.' The verb can also be used for going against a physical flow, like `ๅทใฎๆตใ‚Œใซ้€†ใ‚‰ใฃใฆๆณณใ (kawa no nagare ni sakaratte oyogu - to swim against the river's current)`. In this context of a child's defiance, it fits perfectly. **[Incorrect] ่ƒŒใ„ใฆ (somuite)** * **Reasoning:** `่ƒŒใ (somuku)` also means 'to go against,' 'to disobey,' or 'to betray.' It is a very close synonym to `้€†ใ‚‰ใ†`, which makes it a tricky distractor. However, `่ƒŒใ` often carries a stronger nuance of turning one's back on something or someone, implying a betrayal of trust, expectations, or a more serious violation of rules or principles. For example, `ๆœŸๅพ…ใซ่ƒŒใ (kitai ni somuku - to betray expectations)` or `ๅธซใฎๆ•™ใˆใซ่ƒŒใ (shi no oshie ni somuku - to betray the master's teachings)`. While not entirely impossible, `้€†ใ‚‰ใ†` is the more common and natural choice for the everyday act of a child disobeying a parent's command. **[Incorrect] ไบ‰ใฃใฆ (arasotte)** * **Reasoning:** `ไบ‰ใ† (arasou)` means 'to compete,' 'to fight,' or 'to argue.' This verb does not fit the grammatical structure or the meaning of the sentence. You compete *with* someone (`ไบบใจไบ‰ใ† - hito to arasou`) or fight *over* something (`้บ็”ฃใ‚’ใ‚ใใฃใฆไบ‰ใ† - isan o megutte arasou`), but you don't 'compete' an instruction (`่จ€ใ„ใคใ‘ใซไบ‰ใ†` is unnatural). The context is about disobedience, not competition or conflict. **[Incorrect] ๅพ“ใฃใฆ (shitagatte)** * **Reasoning:** `ๅพ“ใ† (shitagau)` is the direct antonym of `้€†ใ‚‰ใ†`. It means 'to obey,' 'to follow,' or 'to comply with.' If you choose this, the sentence becomes ใ€Œๅญไพ›ใฏ่ฆชใฎ่จ€ใ„ใคใ‘ใซๅพ“ใฃใฆใฏใ„ใ‘ใชใ„ใ€, which means "A child should not obey their parents' instructions." This completely reverses the intended and logical meaning of the sentence.
