Evangelion in Level 1 JLPT test. Trick question?
relic2279:
What's the answer? My Japanese isn't the greatest but this seems like a trick question. Am I missing something?
Here is what I gather:
----
Guy: Captain, our second line of defense has been breached! The monster is heading for the Command Center!
Guy2: We won't last 30 mins at this rate!
Captain: Which Model Fighters can be deployed right now?
Guy: Only Unit 00.
Captain: Seems like we have no choice but to deploy Unit 04.
Guy2: Testing for Unit 04 is incomplete. Besides, we don't have anyone capable of piloting it
Captain: Unit 00 won't be able to stop that thing. So I will pilot Unit 04.
Guy: You're going to go yourself? But Captain, you won't be able to withstand Unit 04's acceleration with that injury!
Asuka: I'll go!
Captain: Asuka!
Asuka: I'll be able to pilot/control Unit 04. So please, lemme go!
Captain: But you're still in training. Now's not the time for kids to show off their skills.
Asuka: Now is not the time to argue about this! <runs away>
Captain: Hey! Asuka! Wait!
Computer announcer: Unit 04 is ready for launch.
Captain: We're counting on you Asuka.

Please choose the right answer:
1. The Captain deployed on Unit 00.
2. The Captain deployed on Unit 04.
3. The woman deployed on Unit 00.
4. The woman deployed on Unit 04.
Here is a link to the sound clip:

kurandoinu:
From what you've written surely the answer is number 4?
I assume that by the woman it means Asuka
relic2279:
They refer to Asuka as a child/girl/kid (kodomo) in the context though, the question uses the word onnanohito which means woman, so I was thinking they were talking about the computer voice at the end which is a woman's. Thus, part of the trick...
vuzedome:
I heard the test itself is hard.
Mirgond:
Uh, hard...
If you finish that test successful you can more or less say of yourself that you speak japanese almost natively...
