から problem in Japanese For Everyone Lesson 5
On exercise 12 in Lesson 5, I seem to understand all the questions except for #3
The given answer is "03ですね。"
The other sentences all seem to have the meaning "because XXX, YYY"
Could someone explain this to me in a way that will help it "click" in my brain? おねがいします!
きょくばんは、東京だから( )。

Re: から problem in Japanese For Everyone Lesson 5
For other locations/area, we would use a different "telephone exchange number". Given this context, all makes sense : )"As for the telephone exchange number [some kind of prefix number]: Because it is Tokyo [we want to phone to], it [the number] is 03."
Edit: Taken from the 明鏡国語辞典
きょく-ばん 【局番】
《名》
電話番号の前につける、各電話局の呼び出し番号。
「市外局番」

Re: から problem in Japanese For Everyone Lesson 5
Thank you.
As I was looking over it again that general meaning occurred to me... "As for the area code, because it's Tokyo, it's 03 right?"
Now I can confidently move on to Lesson 6! ありがとうございます!
