Learn to select vocabulary from the meaning of a whole sentence.
The idea
First identify the situation and the words around the blank. 資料を確認する means to check documents; 事故の影響で points to an effect of an accident. 具体的 describes an explanation with clear details.
Examples
- 会議の前に、資料を確認しました。I checked the documents before the meeting.
- 事故の影響で、電車が遅れました。The train was delayed because of the accident.
- 予算が足りないため、計画を変更しました。We changed the plan because the budget was insufficient.
- 説明が具体的なので、方法がよく分かりました。The explanation was specific, so I understood the method well.
- 締め切りが近いので、作業を優先します。The deadline is near, so I will prioritize the work.
- 意見が違っても、相手の話を尊重します。Even when our opinions differ, I respect what the other person says.

Watch out
A familiar translation alone is not enough: check the particle and whether the word naturally combines with its neighbours. The JLPT does not publish an official vocabulary list, so the level is an estimate.
