Baka to Tesuto to Syokanju:Volume9 The Fifth Question

The Fifth Question

Question: Please state a synonym to the words ‘Incorruption’ and use it to form a sentence.

Himeji Mizuki’s answer:

“Synonym: Upright.

Example: He is an upright person, so he weren’t do evil things.”

Teacher’s comments:

Correct answer:

Correct answer. ‘Incorruption’ means ‘not doing bad things, having pure and upright thoughts and actions’, and ‘upright’ means ‘having proper thoughts and actions’. Some other synonyms are ‘honest and dilligent’, ‘being found completely innocent’ and so on.

Koyama Yuuka’s answer:

“Synonym: Rolling blank eyes” [1]

Teacher's comments:

I thought for a moment that you were correct, but you’re wrong here. Were you anxious here? You wrote ‘白目’ instead of ‘白日’. This will be thought of as ‘I’m telling others of my innocence, but everyone rolled their eyes back at me. Tests do involve a race against time, but it’s most important that you remain calm and make sure not to be careless.

Nemoto Kyouji’s answer:

“Synonym: Upright.

Example: Everyone in school would say ‘Nemoto Kyouji is an upright person’.”

Teacher’s comment:

Looks like we can use rolling blank eyes here.
