Read and understand the short passage – explain ①
第4部 内容理解（短文）: article only ~150 words, 1 question. Tip: For questions like 正しいのはどれか, look for a sentence with the double conditional structure「〜なければならない」at the end of the paragraph — which is usually the answer. Note the opposite pair 固く⇔やわらかく and 程度 (moderate level). ※ Source has error 思っているから → correct is 思っている人は.
おにぎり（注1）は簡単に食べられるので、とても人気がある。このおにぎり、ただご飯を丸くしただけのように見えるが、上手に作るのは簡単ではない。ぎゅうぎゅうと力を込めて固くにぎっては、おいしいおにぎりにならない。けれどもあまり力を入れないと、食べるときにぼろぼろとくずれてしまう。食べるときにお米と具（注2）の味が混ざるようにふわふわと、でも、くずれない程度に力を込めてにぎらなければならない。
自分の作ったおにぎりがあまりおいしくないと思っている人は、くずれない程度に強く、味が混ざるようにやさしくにぎってみることをすすめる。
（注1）おにぎり：炊いたご飯を三角形や丸の形にして作った日本の食べ物
（注2）具：おにぎりの中に入れるおかずになるもの
Explanation: The card requires BOTH conditions: くずれない程度 (not disintegrating) + ふわふわ/やさしく (mushy, soft) → ④. ①② is only tight → 「おいしいおにぎりにならない」. ③ only soft → 「ぼろぼろとくずれてしまう」.
What is the correct way to hold onigiri (rice balls)?
① Grasp the rice tightly so it doesn't break when eating. · ② Use your strength to hold it several times to form a circle. · ③ The rice is so soft that when eaten, the rice falls apart. · ④ Grasp it so it doesn't break but still feels soft when eaten.
Onigiri (uncle 1) is very popular because it is very convenient to eat. It looks like it's just a round ball of rice, but making it delicious is not simple. If you put too much effort into your grip, the rice ball will not be delicious. But if you don't use any force, when you eat it, it will fall apart and fall apart. You have to hold it so that it's loose so that when you eat it, the flavors of the rice and the filling (note 2) blend together, but still have enough strength to not disintegrate.
Anyone who finds that the rice balls they make are not very delicious should try holding them tightly enough to not fall apart, but gently so that the flavors blend together.
(note 1) onigiri: Japanese dish, rice balls cooked into triangles or circles. (note 2) 具: the filling is placed in the middle of the rice ball.
