I encountered the following multiple-choice question in a JLPT N3 grammar practice test:

仕事と生活の（　　　）働き方がしたい。

１　バランスをとるらしく　　　　　２　バランスをとるらしい

３　バランスがとれるような　　　　４　バランスがとれるように

I chose 「３　バランスがとれるような」, but the answer given is 「４　バランスがとれるように」.

I understood the sentence to mean "I would like to work in such a way that I can maintain a balance between work and life." I am under the impression that 働き方 is a noun, so I used 〜ような to modify it. Why is the answer 〜ように instead of 〜ような?

    4 doesn't make sense to me.

    @EddieKal Thanks for the confirmation. The practice test was taken from an app (JLPT テスト) instead of a published book, so I am starting to suspect that this is a typo in the app.

    I agree, the correct answer is 3.
