정답: A. 아름다운

How to solve: The sentence states Oregon is famous for its nature. 'Beautiful' is the most suitable adjective to describe nature in a positive context, which makes the state famous.

A — "아름다운" means beautiful. It fits perfectly to describe nature that makes a place famous.

B — "추운" means cold. While Oregon can be cold, it's not the primary reason it's 'famous for nature.'

C — "더운" means hot. Oregon's climate is generally mild, not known for being consistently hot in a way that makes its nature famous.

D — "높은" means high. While there are mountains, 'high nature' isn't a natural way to express what makes it famous.

정답: B. 숲

How to solve: Oregon is well-known for its abundant forests. The sentence asks what Oregon has a lot of, and '숲' (forests) is the most fitting characteristic among the choices.

A — "바다" means sea or ocean. Oregon has a coastline, but 'forests' are more widespread and characteristic of the state.

B — "숲" means forest. Oregon is famous for its dense forests and natural landscapes. This is the best fit.

C — "도시" means city. While Oregon has cities, it's not primarily known for having 'many cities' in the same way it's known for forests.

D — "음식" means food. While every region has food, it's not the primary characteristic being referred to here.

정답: A. 자주

How to solve: Portland, Oregon, is famously known for its frequent rainfall, especially during certain seasons. '자주' (often) is the most appropriate adverb to describe this characteristic.

A — "자주" means often. Portland is well-known for receiving frequent rain, so this is the best fit.

B — "가끔" means sometimes. This is too infrequent to describe Portland's rain.

C — "항상" means always. This is too strong; it doesn't rain literally 'always.'

D — "전혀" means never (used with a negative verb). This is incorrect, as it does rain in Portland.

How to solve: National parks are natural areas typically used for outdoor activities. Among the given options, '등산' (hiking/mountain climbing) is the most common and suitable activity for beautiful national parks.

B — "공부" means studying. While one can study anywhere, it's not a primary activity associated with national parks.

C — "등산" means hiking or mountain climbing. This is a very common and appropriate activity in beautiful national parks known for nature.

D — "요리" means cooking. While one might cook during camping in a park, 'hiking' is a more general and defining activity for national parks.

정답: B. 방문

How to solve: The sentence expresses that many people 'want to' do something with Oregon. Given Oregon's appeal as a tourist destination, '방문' (visit) is the most logical action people would want to take.

A — "싫어" means dislike. This is the opposite of what people would want to do with an attractive place.

B — "방문" means visit. This is a common and positive action people would want to do with a place they are interested in or want to see.

C — "파괴" means destroy. This is a negative and illogical action.
