(Hint: The sentence order in Language A is SOV.)
Use the forms ‘tabermashita’ (“ate”), ‘ringo’ (“apple”) and ‘-ni’ (“in”) and identify the correct translations of the following two sentences (S1 and S2).
S1: Jack ate an apple.
S2: John is in school.Column X:
Language AColumn Y:
EnglishJakku-ga gakkoo-e ik-imasu Jack goes to school Kazuko-ga gakkoo-de imasu Kazuko is at school Jon-ga shinbun-o yom-imasu John reads a newspaper
S2: Jon-ga gakkoo-ni imasu
To translate the given sentences from English to Language A, we will make use of the provided hint that the sentence order in Language A follows a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) structure. Let's evaluate each sentence:
- Translation of S1: Jack ate an apple.
- Language A follows the SOV structure. Therefore, the subject (Jack), followed by the object (an apple), and then the verb (ate).
- The translations provided use ‘Jakku’ for Jack and ‘ringo’ for apple. The verb "ate" is translated as ‘tabermashita’.
- Hence, the correct translation for "Jack ate an apple" is "Jakku-ga ringo-o tabermashita".
- Translation of S2: John is in school.
- The verb "is" indicates a state of being or location. In Language A, 'ni' is used to express the state of being in a location.
- The provided sentence for "Kazuko is at school" uses the structure "gakkoo-de imasu", where 'de' suggests an ongoing action at a place.
- For "John is in school", we should use "ni" instead of "de" to rightly represent the static location.
- The subject (John) should be followed by the object (in school) leading to "Jon-ga gakkoo-ni imasu".
Upon examining the options:
- Option 1: "S1: Jakku-ga ringo-o tabermashita; S2: Jon-ga gakkoo-de ik-imasu" is incorrect as the verb structure doesn’t match for John in school.
- Option 2: "S1: Jakku-ga ringo-o tabermashita; S2: Jon-ga gakkoo-ni imasu" is correct due to accurate uses of language elements for both sentences.
- Option 3: "S1: Jakku-ga gakkoo-o tabermashita; S2: Jon-ga gakkoo-ni imasu" is incorrect as "Jakku ate school" does not make sense.
- Option 4: "S1: Jakku-ga ringo-e tabermashita; S2: Jon-ga gakkoo-de ik-imasu" is incorrect due to improper verb structure and usage.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
S1: Jakku-ga ringo-o tabermashita
S2: Jon-ga gakkoo-ni imasu
