Please choose one best answer from the choice 1 2 3 4 below.
1.「コーヒーと こうちゃと____ が すきですか。」「コーヒーの ほうが すきです。」
1.どこ。2.どう。 3.どちら。 4.どれ。
Answer : 3
Romaji :
[Ko-hi- wo kocha to (dochira) ga sukidesuka. [Ko-hi- no houga suki desu].
Meaning : [Which one do you like between coffee and tea?]. [I like it if it is coffee].
When you want to ask someone to choose between things that you are stating in a sentence, we can use ‘dochira’ (どちら) to form the question sentence. Below is shown for another example :
Kanji: 猫とウサギはどちらが可愛いですか。
Hiragana: ねことウサギはどちらがかわいいですか。
Romaji: Neko to usagi wa dochira ga kawaii desuka.
Meaning: Which one is cutier between cat and rabbit ?

1.どこ。 2.いつ。 3.なに。 4.なんようび。
Answer : 4
Romaji : Sensei [Raishuu shiken ga arimasu.] Gakusei [(Nanyoubi) ni arimasuka.]
Meaning : Teacher [There will be a test next week.] Student [What day will it be].
The first option is doko(どこ)、it is used to ask the location which took place of an activity or situation that happened. Below is the example of the usage :
Kanji: 会社の会議がどこにありますか。
Hiragan: かいしゃのかいぎがどこにありますか。
Romaji: Kaisha no kaigi ga doko ni arimasuka.
Meaning: Where is the company meeting ?
The other option, itsu (いつ)is used to ask time depend on the sentence. Normally means when, what time. Below is the example of the usage :

Hiragana: きょういつくうこうへいきますか
Romaji: Kyou itsu kuukou e ikimasuka.
Meaning: Today when (you) go to the airport?
The third option, nani (なに)is used to generally ask something. The example is shown below :
Kanji: なにを読みますか
Hiragana: なにをよみますか
Romaji: nani wo yomimasuka
Meaning: What do (you) read ?
Since the answer of the question is about choosing the right one on asking the exact time of the test. We have to choose the most correct answer when asking the exact time of the test. Since the previous information which is stated by the teacher is that the test will be performed next week, we can use ‘nanyoubi’ to ask what day in that next week will be the day the test will be performed.
Below is another example on using nanyoubi(なんようび):
Kanji: 社員のなるため先週に面接がありました。「何曜日でしたか。
Hiragana: しゃいんのなるためせんしゅうにめんせつをしました。なんようびでしたか。
Romaji: Shain no naru tame senshuu ni mensetsu wo shimashita. Nan youbi deshitaka.

Answer : 4
Romaji : [(Dono kurai) Tokyo ni imasuka.] [1kkagetsu imasu.]
Menaing : [(How long) you will be in Tokyo ? .] [(I will be in Tokyo for) one month.]
To ask how long that an activity or a situation happened we use(dono kurai)どのくらい。The answer will be an interval or period of time which is required for that activity or that situation to be established.
