むすこは ミニカーを （ ）います。
a. あつまって
b. あつめて
c. あそんで
d. はしって
The correct answer is b. あつめて. My son is collecting toy cars (in Japanese it is a “mini car”).
If you thought the sentence meant “My son is playing with a toy car,” you might have picked あそんで but in that case the original sentence should be むすこは ミニカーで あそんで います。
はしって cannot be used here at all.
