Particle に is used to impose that the subject is already stand still and attached to the bank where he worked.

10. びょうきです_____、しごとをして います。

Romaji : Byouki desu (ga), shigoto wo shite imasu.

1.と 2.が 3.で 4.でも

Answer :2

The above question answer is in the second option. Particle ga in the above question act as a connecting particle between two clauses where both of the clauses are opposed each other in meaning.

From the above sentence in the first clause we already knew that the subject is sick. Normally, the second clause will be a coherent logical action that will inform the subject to take a rest, to go to a doctor or to take some medicine to cure the illness. But in spite of that the second clause displays the opposed meaning where the subject continue to work. To connect two clause which has two opposed meanings we can connect it with particle ga (が) and is translated into but, although.

We will give another example with the similar purpose below :

Kanji      : 今日は日曜日ですが残業するから仕事をしています。

Hiragana   : きょうはにちようびですがざんぎょうするからしごとをしています。

Romaji     : Kyou wa nichiyoubi desu ga zangyou suru kara shigoto wo shite imasu.

Meaning    : Today is Sunday but because (I) have to do an overtime I am working now.

11. ここから ちかてつ_____のって ください。

Romaji : Koko kara chikatetsu (ni) notte kudasai.

Meaning : From here on please read the subway train.

1.で 2.が 3.を 4.に

Answer :4

Particle ni is a particle which marks the goal of movement. When we move from a location to another location we can use this particle but more specifically in some of Japanese language grammar reference the movement itself is from a larger to smaller physical place.

In the above context, the subject move from the train station where the subject waits for the train where the train station itself is a larger place than the train which he or she wait to get on.

Another example will be given as follows :

Kanji      : 課長は秘書と一緒に会議室に入ります。
