財政状況が悪化し、東京の家を手放さざるを得なくなったから。

Giving up our house in Tokyo, we ended up relocating to a mountain villa in Izu. Our financial situation was such that we had no choice but to follow my uncle's advice. The loneliness of leaving the city I was so accustomed to is beyond words, but considering my mother's health, life in this quiet place is not so bad. Yet, whenever I think of our former glorious days, I cannot help but feel a poignant sorrow piercing my chest. I could only pin a sliver of hope on this new life.

Practice Question

財政難のため東京の家を手放し、伊豆の山荘で新しい生活を始めます。
Explanation

財政難のため東京の家を手放し、伊豆の山荘で新しい生活を始めます。

English Explanation

The passage mentions that they had to follow their uncle's advice due to a financial situation that left them no choice ('叔父の勧めに従わざるを得ない財政状況であったのだ') and that they had to let go of their Tokyo home ('東京の家を手放し'). This directly supports the correct answer.

日本語解説

本文には「叔父の勧めに従わざるを得ない財政状況であったのだ」とあり、東京の家を手放して伊豆へ移住した理由が財政難であることが示されています。したがって、「財政状況が悪化し、東京の家を手放さざるを得なくなったから」が正解です。
