問題文
各問いの英文や図表を読み、解答番号にあてはまるものとして最も適当な選択肢を選びなさい。
You are a member of a school newspaper club and received a message from Paul，an exchange student from the US.
I have a suggestion for our next issue. The other day，I was looking for a new wallet for myself and found a website selling small slim wallets which are designed to hold cards and a few bills. Weighing only 60 g，they look stylish.
As I mainly use electronic money，this type of wallet seemed useful. I shared the link with my friends and asked them what they thought. Here are their comments：
● I use a similar wallet now，and it holds cards securely.
● They look perfect for me as I walk a lot，and it would be easy to carry.
● I’d definitely use one if the store near my house accepted electronic money.
● Cards take up very little space. Cashless payments make it easier to collect points.
● I use both electronic money and cash. What would I do with my coins？
● Interesting！ Up to 6 cards can fit in it，but for me that is a card−holder，not a wallet.
● I like to keep things like receipts in my wallet. When I asked my brother，though，he told me he wanted one！
● They are so compact that I might not even notice if I lost mine.
When I talked with them，even those who don’t like this type of wallet pointed out some merits of using cards and electronic money. This made me wonder why many students still use bills and coins，and I thought this might be a good topic for our newspaper. What do you think？
Which question did Paul probably ask his friends？（ 6 ）

01
Pualは友達に、どの質問をしたかと思われるかを問う問題です。
訳）
あなたは学校新聞の一員で、アメリカからの交換留学生であるPaulからメッセージを受け取りました。
・exchange student : 交換留学生
次の記事について提案があります。先日、自分用に新しい財布を探していて、カードと数枚のお札を入れるためにデザインされた、薄くて小さい財布を販売しているウェブサイトを見つけました。重さはわずか６０gで、とてもおしゃれに見えました。
・issue（名詞） : 記事
私は主に電子マネーを使っているので、このタイプの財布は便利そうだと思いました。そこで、そのリンクを友達と共有して、どう思うか聞いてみました。以下はそのコメントです。
●今似たような財布を使っているけど、カードがしっかり収まるよ。
●よく歩く私にはぴったりだと思う。持ち運びもしやすそう。
●家の近くの店が電子マネーに対応していたら、ぜひ使いたい。
●カードはほとんど場所を取らないし、キャッシュレス決済だとポイントも貯めやすい。
●電子マネーと現金の両方を使っているけど、小銭はどうすればいいの？
●面白いね！最大６枚のカードが入るみたいだけど、私にとっては財布じゃなくてカードケースかな。
●レシートのようなものも財布に入れておきたいんだ。弟に聞いてみたら、欲しいって言ってたけどね！
●あまりにもコンパクトだから、なくしても気づかないかもしれない。
・similar（形容詞） : 似ている
・securely（副詞） : しっかりと、安全に
・definitely（副詞） : 間違いなく、絶対に
・up to : 最大～
彼らと話してみると、このタイプの財布が好きではない人たちでさえ、カードや電子マネーを使うことの利点をいくつか挙げていました。そこで、なぜ多くの学生が今でもお札や小銭を使っているのだろうと疑問に思いましたし、これは学校新聞の良い話題になるのではないかと思いました。あなたはどう思いますか？
・point out : 指摘する
・merit of ～ing : ～するメリット
不正解
財布を持ち歩いていますか？という意味です。
その質問をしたことは本文に記載されていないため不正解です。
不正解
電子マネーを使っていますか？という意味です。
電子マネーは話題には出ていますが、これはPual自身の使い方や意見の一部のため不正解です。
不正解
財布には何を入れていますか？という意味です。
一部のコメントでレシートなどには触れていますが、これは結果として出てきた話しなので不正解です。
正解
これらの財布についてどう思いますか？という意味です。
２段落目の後半部分に、I shared the link with my friends and asked them what they thought（そのリンクを友達と共有して、どう思うか聞いてみました）.と記載があります。これはリンクを共有して、意見を募ったという意味です。つまり、友達に聞いた質問は「この財布についてどう思う？」なので正解です。
コメント欄では「便利」「軽い」「小銭が困る」などすべて評価や感想が述べられています。つまり質問も感想を聞く内容になっています。
