解説 なぜ間違えたのか？
Snailが何かわかりましたか？英検では時々、有名ではない動物などを題材にすることがあります。When do some snails go to sleep in the ground?という設問に対して、本文では、When the air is too dry or cold, some snails hide in the ground and fall asleep.とあります。some snails go to sleep in the groundとsome snails hide in the ground and fall asleep.の部分は文の言い換え（パラフレーズ）をしています。なので、正解は…2.When the air is cold or dry.となります。本文で読まれる hide in はリエゾンを起こし「ハイディン」となり、聞き取りにくかったかもしれません。
