정답: C. 팀

How to solve: The sentence describes a sport where 'two entities' compete against each other. In the context of sports, the word that refers to a group of players competing is '팀' (team).

A — '선수' means 'player'. While players compete, the sentence refers to the collective unit that competes, which is a team.

B — '경기' means 'game' or 'match'. This refers to the event itself, not the competitors.

C — '팀' means 'team'. This is the correct word as two teams compete in a game.

D — '공' means 'ball'. Hockey uses a puck, not a ball, and it is an object, not a competitor.

정답: B. 경기

How to solve: The sentence indicates an event between two teams, Boston Bruins and Pittsburgh Penguins, that was very exciting. '경기' (game/match) is the most suitable word to describe such an event.

A — '선수' means 'player'. While players can be exciting, the sentence describes the event involving both teams.

B — '경기' means 'game' or 'match'. This perfectly fits the context of an exciting event between two sports teams.

C — '응원' means 'cheering' or 'support'. Cheering happens during a game, but it is not the event itself.

D — '승리' means 'victory'. Victory is an outcome of a game, not the game itself.

정답: C. 승리

How to solve: The sentence describes an action taken by the Penguins against the Bruins in a competitive context. '상대로 ~하다' usually implies winning or losing. '승리하다' (to achieve victory) is the most natural and positive outcome in such a sentence, implying the Penguins won.

A — '연습' means 'practice'. Practice is preparation, not an outcome against an opponent.

B — '패배' means 'defeat'. While it's an outcome, '승리' (victory) is the opposite and fits the context of a team performing well.

C — '승리' means 'victory'. This is the correct word, indicating that the Penguins won against the Bruins.

D — '시작' means 'start'. This refers to the beginning of an event, not the result against an opponent.

정답: C. 팬

How to solve: The sentence describes people who go to a stadium to cheer for their favorite team. This group of people is commonly known as '팬' (fans).

A — '기자' means 'reporter'. Reporters cover the event, but their primary role is not cheering for a team.

C — '팬' means 'fan'. This is the correct word, referring to people who support and cheer for their favorite teams.
