Answers and Explanations

  1. でも
    Explanation:

    「AでもBでも」 (A demo B demo) lists examples and implies that the choice doesn't matter, or that all listed options are fine. It expresses a broad acceptance. The first blank is 'でも'.

  2. 逃にげろ
    Explanation:

    The imperative form expresses a command. For る-verbs (Group 2), you drop the final 「る」 and add 「ろ」. 「[逃]{に}げる」 (nigeru - to escape/run away) becomes 「[逃]{に}げろ」 (nigero - Escape!/Run away!). This form is very direct and is often used in urgent situations or when giving strong commands. Here, A is urgently telling B to get away.

  3. ところ
    Explanation:

    「Verb (dictionary form) + ところ」 (tokoro) indicates that an action is on the verge of happening. In this sentence, '食べるところなんです' means 'I am just about to eat'. The pattern is: Verb (dictionary form) + ところ. The 'ん' adds a bit of explanatory nuance.

  4. 降ふる
    Explanation:

    「～かもしれません」 expresses possibility. It requires the plain form (dictionary form) of the verb before it. The plain form of the verb meaning 'to fall (rain/snow)' is 降る (furu).

  5. 作る
    Explanation:

    「〜ことができる」(koto ga dekiru) means 'can do ~' or 'to be able to do ~' and describes an ability or possibility. It is used with the dictionary form of a verb. In this sentence, 「作ることができます」 means 'can make'. The pattern is: Verb (dictionary form) + ことができる.

  6. 真まっ暗くら
    Explanation:

    「真っ〜」 (ma-) is an intensifying prefix. 「真っ暗」 (makkura) means 'pitch black' or 'completely dark'. It emphasizes the totality of the darkness.

  7. 降ふっています
    Explanation:

    Intransitive verbs describe an action or state of the subject without acting on a direct object. 「[降]{ふ}る」 (furu - to fall, e.g. rain, snow) is an intransitive verb. The rain (subject, marked by が) is performing the action of falling.

  8. では
    Explanation:

    「では」 (de wa) is used to topicalize the means or method (marked by で). It often implies a contrast or specific condition related to that means. 「バスでは」 sets 'by bus' as the context, implying it's not suitable, leading to an alternative.

  9. ていただきました
    Explanation:

    「〜ていただく」 (te itadaku) is used to express receiving an action or favor from someone, especially a superior, in a humble and grateful way.

  10. 眠ねむければ
    Explanation:

    「〜ければ」 (kereba) is a conditional form for i-adjectives meaning 'if ~'. It is formed by removing the final い from the adjective (e.g., 眠い -> 眠) and adding ければ. In this sentence, 眠ければ (nemukereba) means 'if you are sleepy'. The pattern is: i-adjective stem + ければ.
