Choose the most appropriate phrase to fill in the blank... Let's see...

Iroha
Is it...2?

Tsubomi
You fell for it. "Resemble" is a transitive verb. Since what follows is the object, "to" is unnecessary.

Iroha
Uuu...

Tsubomi
Let's focus on similar problems. Give me a moment.

Iroha
I'm sorry...I'll review too! Let's see, a transitive verb...cannot be complete without an object...

Iroha
Um, um...

Tsubomi
Yes. Grammar isn't something you can just memorise. The best way is to work through these fill in the blank and rearrangement problems to learn it.

Iroha
You mean to actually use it...I'll do my best!

Tsubomi
Yes. Also, I recommend reading aloud or copying sentences onto paper to memorise word order.

Iroha
That's true...! I'll write a lot.

Tsubomi
However, the time until the make up exam is limited. Let's try to memorise English vocabulary along with it.

Iroha
Y-yesss...!

Iroha
Haah...I'm tired from using my brain too much. The bittersweet taste of this matcha sundae seeps through like water in a desert...

Tsubomi
Indeed. Matcha contains theanine, which has a relaxing effect. It's perfect to eat during a break.

Iroha
Heh~ is that so? -Whoa!

Tsubomi
What is it?

Iroha
I got a message from Mito-chan! ...Wow~! GameFes is really crowded this year too!

Tsubomi
A photo... Did Kamira take this? They look like they're having a lot of fun.

Iroha
Towa-chan has such a big smile! ...Ah, it seems Mito-chan needs to get ready to go on stage soon.

Tsubomi
I see...I hope she does well.

Iroha
I'm not worried about Mito-chan at all! Besides, Towa-chan and Kamira-chan are there too.

Tsubomi
Hmm... You and Shiromaru are usually always together, right? Aren't you worried?

Iroha
Me, worried about Mito-chan? Why?

Tsubomi
Shiromaru was worried about you. I wondered if you might similarly be concerned about Shiromaru.

Iroha
Concerned...I'm not particularly worried.

Iroha
I am extremely curious about what her cosplay will look like, though...!

Iroha
Well~ I wish I could have gone to cheer her on... But I can't fail this make up exam...

Iroha
If I could have watched, I would have wanted to wave a fan toward Mito-chan on stage!

Iroha
"Slice them, Dina!" "Electrocute them!"...!

Tsubomi
Fu... I see, my concern was unnecessary.

Iroha
Ah, but...I do understand what Tsubomi-san is saying, a little. This is something I feel bad with about myself...

Iroha
I think Mito-chan worries about me because I rely on her too much.

Tsubomi
Rely on her?

Iroha
Yes. Even with this make up exam, she helped me study... She was considerate of me until the end.

Iroha
If anything, I'm the one holding her back. It's pathetic.

Tsubomi
Aren't you being a bit too hard on yourself?

Iroha
Besides studying, there are many other things. I tend to get completely absorbed in things I like. Sometimes I can't see anything else...

Iroha
Compared to that, Mito-chan is much more aware of her surroundings...

Iroha
At school and at Denki, I'm always the one being helped.

Tsubomi
Hmm... So that's what you think, Senju. To me, it looks like you two complement each other.

Iroha
Complement... ...Ehehe. Maybe, you're right.

Tsubomi
I'm curious, do you ever fight?

Iroha
Fight...?

Iroha
No, no, never!

Iroha
Mito-chan and I have understood each other since we first met. We're best friends...!

Iroha
So I need to work hard so we can stay together...

Tsubomi
I see. Then I shall lend my power to protect this precious friendship.

Iroha
Thank you...!

Iroha
I'll do my best!

Iroha
...

Tsubomi
...What's wrong, Senju? You seem to have stopped working...

Iroha
I still don't understand this study material at all... Tsubomi-san, please teach me this problem...!

Tsubomi
Y-Yeah...
