Answer for 6
By the way, as far as I’m concerned, feel free to nitpick anything I write, I want to get things right.
6⃣ けっこんしきのパーティーに…しました。
So I think here it’s one of those 動詞＋に行く structure:
(it’s French, my first language).
What’s bothering me though is that it’s saying that what precedes に＋行く・行きます should be the masu-stem version of the verb, which isn’t the case in this example.
Also, if I put 行く at the end it doesn’t work because it says: しました… If it was the polite past it would be: 行きました not しました. This means しました is just the polite/past form of する.
So it’s probably more a case of ことにする.
Since the only verb in the ～る form is 行く, it needs to be go before ことにする.
Which means:
① comes before ② is last.
which means:
④着物を③着て①行く②ことに
So: I decided to go to the party wearing a kimono.
I’ve done 7 but I’ll let someone else give it a shot. I’ll compare my answer then.

Answer for 1
Ok so I was a bit confused about this one at first because of ついて which I’m used to see in ～について. The います gave me the hint that it was probably a ～ている construction. Since the only verb is つく, the answer writes itself…
② ④ ① ③
…since the first string is basically a chain of possessive の.
The use of ひらがな for ついて (て form of つく) made it harder. I’m sure I have the right answer, I’m just not sure what つく means.
So something about electricity in Yamada’s room. Scrolling through the different つくverbs, I figured it was 点く, to be turned on.
The electricity in Yamada’s room is turned on. Weird, isn’t?
Answer for 2
This one, I felt, was easier.
①人口は: population
②アメリカ: USA
③より: used for comparatives
So the answer would be:
① ② ③ ④
There’s really no other possible option. Maybe ずっと can be hurdle if not known as it can have different meanings. In this case, likely much more.
The population of China is much more than the population of America.
Answer for 3
Let’s start about what we do know:
In Kyoto, during the summer… very lively.
①なる＋と is my best guess.
②行われて【動詞】transitive, Godan, ‘to perform’.
③花火大会が【名詞】I know はなび means firework, so some kind of firework event.
④大きい【い形容詞】big
So I’d say:
④ ③ ② ①
Kyoto is very lively when big fireworks are carried out during the summer.
Answer for 4
Let’s start what we do know:
１：に＋やって（やる・て形）to do… only I misread!!! It’s not やる, because it’s よって. I knew something was off there. There’s something in Bunpro about this:
Noun it says. So this means that かかれた can only be directly before 絵, there’s no other way.
2: Leonard Da Vinci
3: かかれた・potential past form of the verb かかる. This threw me for a loop. Actually, かかる is verb that often makes me cringe a bit since it has so many possible meanings. Then I searched some more:
係る: to be the work of… passive form. Would make some sense here considering the sentence.
４：drawing
…です at the end. So, at a glance, I would say, this is a drawing by Leonardo Da Vinci. Since the whole sentence is describing the drawing, there’s a good chance 絵 is last.
? ? ? 4⃣
1 can’t be after これは, so (1) can’t be at the beginning.
I’d go with:
(2) (1) (3) (4)
I’d never seen によって before, oddly enough. I think here is simply means ‘by’.
This is a drawing drawn by Leonardo Da Vinci.
Final answer!
unsure…
Answer for 5
Leaving this one here too. Less sure about that one and 7 from above.
Some notes:
のは：probably a nominalizer + topic particle or the の that replaces a noun, in which case 写真 (picture).
いつ：when
とる（取る）とった：plain past form of ‘to take’ (a picture).
だったか：だった（です）＋か I’m assuming.
Since のは is the only particle, I’d say it goes before the verb at the end.
Since 写真 is followed by を it’d be tempted to use とった as it’s a verb.
I don’t understand the purpose of the か after だった here. It’s either an interrogative particle or ‘or’. Neither seem to work here.
So I Googled いつだったか… it seems it might work but I’d be guessing. Then I thought,
いつですか works so this could be it!
