정답: C. 회사원

How to solve: This question asks for Mike Collins's occupation or role. Among the choices, '회사원' (office worker) is a common occupation that fits the sentence structure 'A is a ( ) person'.

A — 학생 (student) is a possible occupation, but '회사원' is a general and common choice.

B — 의사 (doctor) is a possible occupation, but the context doesn't specifically point to it.

C — 회사원 (office worker) is a very common occupation and fits well into the sentence.

D — 가수 (singer) is a possible occupation, but without specific context, '회사원' is a more neutral and common fit.

정답: B. 마십니다

How to solve: The sentence indicates that Mike Collins does something with coffee every morning. The blank requires a verb that correctly describes the action of consuming coffee. '마시다' (to drink) is the appropriate verb for beverages.

A — 먹습니다 (eats) comes from '먹다' (to eat), which is primarily used for solid food.

B — 마십니다 (drinks) comes from '마시다' (to drink), which is the correct verb for beverages like coffee.

C — 봅니다 (sees/watches) comes from '보다' (to see/watch), which does not fit the context of consuming coffee.

D — 줍니다 (gives) comes from '주다' (to give), which does not fit the context of consuming coffee.

정답: C. 잘합니다

How to solve: The sentence states 'Mike Collins is very ( ) Korean.' The blank needs an expression indicating proficiency or a strong positive ability related to the Korean language. '잘합니다' (is good at/does well) is the most suitable.

A — 어렵습니다 (is difficult) would typically be used to describe the language itself (e.g., '한국어가 어렵습니다').

B — 쉽습니다 (is easy) would also typically be used to describe the language itself (e.g., '한국어가 쉽습니다').

C — 잘합니다 (is good at/does well) is the correct expression to describe someone's skill or proficiency in a language.

D — 싫어합니다 (dislikes) would mean Mike dislikes Korean, which is grammatically possible but changes the meaning significantly and isn't the most common implication with '아주'.

정답: A. 함께

How to solve: The sentence indicates that Mike Collins watches movies 'friends'. The blank requires an adverb that describes the manner of watching movies with friends. '함께' (together) is the most natural fit to express companionship.

A — 함께 (together) correctly indicates that Mike watches movies in the company of his friends.

B — 옆에 (next to) describes a physical location relative to someone, not the act of doing something with them.

C — 아래에 (below) describes a physical location and is not relevant to watching movies with friends.

D — 위에 (on top of) describes a physical location and is not relevant to watching movies with friends.

정답: B. 쉬는

How to solve: The sentence says 'Mike Collins likes to ( ) on weekends.' The blank requires an activity that people typically enjoy doing on weekends. '쉬는 것' (resting/relaxing) is a very common and preferred weekend activity.

A — 일하는 (working) means 'to work'. While some people work on weekends, '쉬는 것' (resting) is a more commonly desired activity in the context of '좋아합니다' (likes).

B — 쉬는 (resting/relaxing) means 'to rest' or 'to relax'. This is a highly common and natural activity that people enjoy doing on weekends.

C — 공부하는 (studying) means 'to study'. Some people study on weekends, but '쉬는 것' is a more general and often preferred option.

D — 요리하는 (cooking) means 'to cook'. Cooking is an activity, but '쉬는 것' represents a broader category of leisure and relaxation often preferred on weekends.
