  • 9. 

    Which of the following is something you can eat?

    • Resutoran

    • Ocha

    • Sakana

    • Oishii

    Correct Answer
    A. Sakana
    Explanation
    "Sakana" is the correct answer because it is a Japanese word that means "fish" in English. Fish is a type of food that can be eaten. "Resutoran" means "restaurant" and refers to a place where you can eat, but it is not something you can eat. "Ocha" means "tea" and "oishii" means "delicious," but they are not specific food items that can be eaten. Therefore, "sakana" is the only option that fits the criteria of something you can eat.

    In Japan, it is true that if you want to have a refill on your cup of coffee, you will need to pay the full price again. Unlike in some other countries where refills are often offered for free or at a discounted price, in Japan it is common for customers to pay the full price for each cup of coffee they consume, including refills. This cultural practice is influenced by the emphasis on quality and the value placed on each individual serving.
