解答・解説
Answers and Explanation(1.) f. visited; with no preposition (t0), this is really the only option for #1.
(2.) a. moved; move means to change living locations.
(3.) b. transferred; transferred (the past of transfer) means to "be switched" (by a company or a boss) to a new work location. The presence of was shows this transfer was done by others--meaning David Hernandez didn't do it by choice, so after the linking verb 'was' we need the past tense of transfer--transferred.
① visited:日本を訪問した。② moved:住む場所を変えた。③ transferred:勤務先の都合で別の勤務地へ転勤した。was transferred は受け身で、本人以外が転勤を決めたことを表します。原文は transferred を「過去形」と説明しますが、was transferred では過去分詞です。
