 を卒業した。

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The sentence given is a fill-in-the-blank type in Japanese: 『[Fill in the blank], は二年前に [Fill in the blank]、を卒業した。』 and the provided answers are ゆうじん and だいがくいん.
First blank: the phrase before は marks the subject of the sentence. A natural subject that fits with the rest of the sentence is 友人 (きくじん) or ゆうじん in hiragana, meaning 'a friend.' Since the pronunciation hint is provided as ゆうじん, you should fill the first blank with 友人, which in kana is ゆうじん.
Second blank: the structure '二年前に [something] を卒業した' requires the object being graduated from. The standard expression for completing a degree or program is 大学院 (graduate school). The particle を attaches to the object being graduated from, and 卒業した means 'graduated.' With the given reading in the answer list, 大学院 corresponds to だいがくいん in kana.
Putting it together: '友人は二年前に 大学院 を卒業した' reads as 'A friend graduated from graduate school two years ago.'
Why other possibilities (if any) would be incorrect: there are no other options provided in this item, but conceptually, using a non-object like 大学 (university) would change the meaning to a different institution, and using the subject noun other than 友人 would alter who performed the action. The grammar '～は ... に ... を卒業した' correctly marks the subject with は, the time with に, and the object with を, matching standard Japanese sentence structure.
In short, fill the first blank with 友人 (ゆうじん) and the second with 大学院 (だいがくいん) to form a natural, grammatical sentence: 友人は二年前に 大学院 を卒業した.
