정답: B. 경기

How to solve: The sentence states that Memphis and UAB are doing a basketball 'something' today. The blank requires a noun that means 'game' or 'match'. '경기' means 'game' or 'match', which perfectly fits the context of two teams playing basketball.

A — '숙제' means 'homework'. It doesn't make sense in the context of a sports event.

B — '경기' means 'game' or 'match'. This is the correct word for a basketball game.

C — '공부' means 'study'. It is irrelevant to playing a basketball game.

D — '음악' means 'music'. It does not fit the context of a sports match.

정답: C. 선수

How to solve: The sentence is about the people on the Memphis basketball team who play very well. The blank needs a word for 'player' or 'athlete'. '선수' is the correct term for a sports player.

A — '선생님' means 'teacher'. Teachers are not the ones playing on the team.

B — '학생' means 'student'. While they are student-athletes, the most specific term for someone who plays a sport professionally or for a team is '선수'.

C — '선수' means 'player' or 'athlete'. This is the most appropriate word for the members of a basketball team.

D — '의사' means 'doctor'. Doctors are not part of a basketball team in a playing capacity.

정답: D. 응원

How to solve: The sentence translates to 'I am going to the stadium in order to ( ) the UAB team.' The blank requires a verb that describes an action of supporting a team at a stadium. '응원하다' means 'to cheer for', so the noun form '응원' is the correct choice to complete the grammatical structure '-(을)려고'.

A — '요리' means 'cooking'. People do not go to a stadium to cook for a team.

B — '청소' means 'cleaning'. This is not a typical activity for a spectator at a game.

C — '쇼핑' means 'shopping'. While merchandise might be sold, the primary purpose of going to a game is not shopping.

D — '응원' means 'cheering'. This is the most common reason to go to a stadium to support a team.

정답: C. 이길

How to solve: The sentence asks, 'In today's game, which team do you think will ( )?'. The context is about the outcome of a match. The blank needs a verb that means 'to win'. '이길' is the future form of '이기다' (to win), which correctly fits the grammatical pattern '-(으)ㄹ 것 같아요' (I think will…).

A — '살' is from '살다' (to live) or '사다' (to buy). Neither fits the context of winning a game.

B — '읽을' is from '읽다' (to read). This verb is irrelevant to a sports game's outcome.

C — '이길' is from '이기다' (to win). This is the correct choice for asking about the winner of a game.

D — '만들' is from '만들다' (to make). This does not make sense in the sentence.

정답: C. 점수

How to solve: The first sentence says the game was very fun. The second sentence gives the final result as '78 to 75'. The blank needs a noun that represents these numbers in the context of a game. '점수' means 'score'.

A — '시간' means 'time'. The numbers 78 and 75 do not represent time.

B — '가격' means 'price'. A game's outcome is not a price.

C — '점수' means 'score'. 'The final score was 78 to 75' is the correct and logical statement.

D — '나이' means 'age'. The numbers do not represent the age of a person or team.
