慣習

習慣

伝統

風習

「慣習」は「かんしゅう」と読み、「長年の習慣として定着した行動様式」を意味します。N1レベルの語彙で、文化や社会に関する文脈でよく使用されます。

Correct Answer Explanation

C. この国ならではの文化や[慣習]は、その独自性を保ち続けている。

This option is correct because:

慣習 (かんしゅう): This term accurately reflects the original sentence’s meaning. “慣習” refers to customs or traditions that have been established over a long period and are deeply ingrained in a society. It is a JLPT N1 level vocabulary that is commonly used in cultural and social contexts.
その独自性を保ち続けている: This part of the sentence remains unchanged and correctly conveys the idea that the unique characteristics of the culture and customs are being maintained.

Incorrect Options Explanation

A. この国ならではの文化や[習慣]は、その独自性を保ち続けている。

習慣 (しゅうかん): While “習慣” also means habit or custom, it is a more general term and does not carry the same nuance of long-established, deeply ingrained practices as “慣習”. “習慣” can refer to any habit, including personal ones, whereas “慣習” specifically refers to societal customs and traditions.

B. この国ならではの文化や[伝統]は、その独自性を保ち続けている。

伝統 (でんとう): “伝統” means tradition, which is similar to “慣習” but has a slightly different nuance. “伝統” often refers to the broader cultural heritage and values passed down through generations, while “慣習” focuses more on specific practices and behaviors.

D. この国ならではの文化や[風習]は、その独自性を保ち続けている。

風習 (ふうぞく): “風習” means customs or manners, and it is also a JLPT N1 level vocabulary. However, it is less commonly used in modern Japanese compared to “慣習” and may not convey the same sense of deeply ingrained, long-established practices.

Summary

The correct answer is option C because it accurately uses the term “慣習” to describe the customs and traditions that are unique to the country and have been maintained over time. The other options use terms that are either too general (“習慣”), have a slightly different nuance (“伝統”), or are less commonly used in modern Japanese (“風習”). Therefore, option C is the most appropriate choice that accurately reflects the original sentence’s meaning.
