정답: A. 빨라요

How to solve: The sentence describes the protagonist of Ninja Gaiden, who is a ninja. Ninjas are characteristically fast. You need to choose the word that means 'fast'. '빨라요' is the correct choice.

A — '빨라요' means 'is fast'. This is a key attribute of a ninja.

B — '느려요' means 'is slow'. This is the opposite of how a ninja is usually described.

C — '작아요' means 'is small'. While a ninja might be agile, 'fast' is a more direct and common descriptor of their movement.

D — '커요' means 'is big'. This is not a typical characteristic of a nimble ninja.

정답: B. 칼

How to solve: The sentence says, 'A ninja fights enemies with a ____.' You need to select an object used for fighting. Among the choices, only '칼' (sword/knife) is a weapon.

A — '책' means 'book'. A book is for reading, not fighting.

B — '칼' means 'sword' or 'knife'. This is a weapon that a ninja would use to fight.

C — '빵' means 'bread'. Bread is a type of food.

D — '연필' means 'pencil'. A pencil is a tool for writing.

정답: C. 게임

How to solve: The sentence describes 'Ninja Gaiden 4' as a fun '____'. Ninja Gaiden is a famous video game series. The Korean word for 'game' is '게임'.

A — '음식' means 'food'. Ninja Gaiden 4 is not food.

B — '영화' means 'movie'. While there could be a movie, the primary identity of Ninja Gaiden is a game.

C — '게임' means 'game'. This correctly identifies what Ninja Gaiden 4 is.

D — '운동' means 'exercise' or 'sport'. Playing a video game is not considered a sport in this context.

정답: D. 어려워요

How to solve: The sentence says, 'This game is a bit ____. But it's very fun.' The word '하지만' (but) indicates a contrast. The Ninja Gaiden series is famous for being difficult. '어려워요' (is difficult) provides a logical contrast to '재미있어요' (is fun).

A — '쉬워요' means 'is easy'. 'Easy but fun' is a possible combination, but 'difficult' is the well-known characteristic of this game.

B — '맛있어요' means 'is delicious'. This word is used to describe food, not games.

C — '싸요' means 'is cheap'. Price doesn't contrast with 'fun' in this context.

D — '어려워요' means 'is difficult'. This fits the game's reputation and creates a common phrase: 'difficult but fun'.

정답: C. 옷

How to solve: The sentence is 'The protagonist ninja wears black ____.' The verb '입습니다' means 'to wear', and it is typically used for clothing that covers the body. '옷' means 'clothes', which is the most appropriate word to complete the sentence.

A — '신발' means 'shoes'. While one wears shoes, 'clothes' is a more general and fitting term for a ninja's entire black attire.

B — '모자' means 'hat'. A ninja wears a hood or mask, but '옷' (clothes) is a better general term.

C — '옷' means 'clothes'. This is the correct general term for attire that one 'wears' (입습니다).

D — '가방' means 'bag'. You carry a bag ('들다' or '메다'), you don't 'wear' (입다) it like clothes.
