The correct answer is in the second option. It is the usage of a grammar pattern using tsumori. Below is the grammar pattern :
| Kanji | : | … | ＋ | 動詞「辞書形」 | ＋ | つもり |
| Hiragana | : | … | ＋ | どうし「じしょけい」 | ＋ | つもり |
| Romaji | : | … | ＋ | doushi「jisho kei」 | ＋ | tsumori |
| Meaning | : | … | ＋ | verb 「dictionary form」 | ＋ | intent to, plan to |
So, the above answer is in the second option since before ‘tsumori’ has to be a verb in its dictionary form.

The correct answer is in the third option. It is a grammar pattern of doing something to me, my family or my inner circle using ‘-te kureru’. Below is the pattern :
| Kanji | : | 主語 | は | 間接目的語 | に | 目的語 | を | 動詞「－て形」 | くれる |
| Hiragana | : | しゅご | は | かんせつもくてきご | に | もくてきご | を | どうし「－てけい」 | くれる |
| Romaji | : | shugo | wa | kansetsu mokutekigo | に | mokutekigo | wo | doushi「－te kei」 | kureru |
| Meaning | : | subject | particle wa | indirect object | particle ni | object | particle wo | verb「－te form」 | to give |
There is a certain term in the above grammar pattern which is shown in a form of table :
- Subject : the party which is giving something to someone else.
- Indirect Object : the party which is becoming a receiver of something from the subject
- Object : the item or thing which is given from the subject to the indirect object
I am using the above grammatical term to separate entity in the sentence. I have to check the grammatical term again but in the context of someone else giving something to myself, the correct verb to be used to describe giving is ‘kureru’.
