TOEIC Part5「コロケーション」の解き方と頻出パターン｜練習10問つき
コロケーションの問題は、選択肢がすべて同じ品詞で意味も近く、「その名詞と一緒に使うのはどの動詞か」のような自然な組み合わせを問います。文法では解けないので、よく出る組み合わせを覚えるのが近道です。
解き方のポイント
- meet a deadline / meet the needs（期限を守る・要望に応える）
- place an order / make a reservation / conduct a survey
- raise / address a concern（懸念を示す・対処する）
- take effect（効力を生じる）/ take place（行われる）
- specialize in / comply with / account for など前置詞との結びつき
ひっかけ注意
- make と do、say と tell など、意味が近い基本動詞の使い分け
- highly recommended / strongly encourage など副詞と動詞の組み合わせ
- 日本語訳が同じでも英語では組み合わせが決まっている（強い雨は heavy rain）
例文で確認
| We worked overtime to meet the deadline. | 期限を守る → meet |
| The new policy will take effect next month. | 効力を生じる → take effect |
| The firm specializes in software design. | specialize in |

Q1. Employees are encouraged to take ___ of the new tuition reimbursement program.
答えと解説を見る
正解: A) advantage
'Take advantage of' is a fixed expression meaning 'to make good use of', and 'advantage' is used without an article, in the singular. So 'advantage' is correct. 'Advantageous' is an adjective, 'advantaged' is a past participle, and 'advantages' (plural) breaks the fixed form of the idiom — it's best learned as a whole chunk.
Q2. The revised policy will take ___ at the beginning of next quarter.
答えと解説を見る
正解: B) effect
'Take effect' is a set expression meaning 'to come into force', and the noun 'effect' is correct. 'Affect' is a verb (to influence) — the spelling is easily confused, but the part of speech differs. 'Effective' is an adjective and 'effectively' is an adverb. Idioms built with 'take' — take place, take advantage of, and others — are best learned as whole chunks.
Q3. All new hires must ___ a background check.
Q4. The firm has decided to ___ a survey of customer preferences.
Q5. The head chef aims to ___ attention with a bold new seasonal menu.
Q6. The board decided to ___ effect the new policy next month.
答えと解説を見る
正解: C) take
'Take effect' is the fixed collocation meaning a policy becomes active.
Q7. The kitchen decided to ___ effect the new supplier contract next month.
答えと解説を見る

'Put ... into effect' is the fixed collocation for making something active -- 'put' is the verb that pairs with 'effect' here.
