Which country is Sakura's boyfriend living in?

• A. In Korea
• B. In Japan
• C. In China
• D. In the US

Answer: (B)

Locating where a character lives from a story hinges on spotting explicit statements or clear, distinctive clues about a country. In this passage, the narrative makes it clear that Sakura's boyfriend is residing in Japan. The clues align with Japan—whether through direct mention of the country, references to a city in Japan, or language and cultural details that are distinctly Japanese. Because those details point to Japan, it’s the best choice. There aren’t indications of Korea, China, or the United States in the context provided, so those options aren’t supported by the text.
