Evangelion in Level 1 JLPT test. Trick question?

(1/2) > >>

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...
