解答と解説 · Show the full answer & explanation
訳 · Translation
Unfortunately I have plans tomorrow, so I won't be able to come.
正解 · Answer
あいにく明日は予定が入っておりまして、伺うことができません。
解説 · Why
あいにく means "unfortunately / inconveniently" and introduces a circumstance that disappoints expectations, often in polite refusals: あいにく予定が入っております. It cannot modify positive outcomes or describe effort.
誤答 · Why the other options are wrong
今日はあいにくの晴天で、ピクニックが楽しめそうです。 — あいにく marks an unfavorable situation; pairing it with good news is contradictory.
彼はあいにく勉強したので、試験に合格した。 — あいにく is not an adverb of effort or degree; it cannot describe how hard someone studied.
このレストランはあいにく美味しいと評判だ。 — あいにく cannot intensify a positive evaluation; とても or 大変 would be natural.
語彙 · Breakdown
伺ううかがうto visit (humble)
例文 · Example

Ainiku no ame de, hanabi taikai wa enki ni natta.
