정답: B. 회사

How to solve: The sentence describes Reddit as a famous American entity that has newly entered the stock market. The most appropriate word to describe a business entity like Reddit is '회사' (company).

A — 학교 (hakgyo) means 'school'. A school does not typically get listed on the stock market.

B — 회사 (hoesa) means 'company'. Reddit is a company, which is why it can have stock (주식). This is the correct answer.

C — 병원 (byeongwon) means 'hospital'. While some hospitals are run by companies, the primary identity of Reddit is a tech company, not a hospital.

D — 공원 (gongwon) means 'park'. A park is a public space and not a company that issues stock.

정답: D. 사고

How to solve: The context is about stock (주식) and wanting to make money (돈을 벌다). The verb that fits with 'stock' in this context is 'to buy'. '사다' means 'to buy'. The form '사고 싶어요' means 'I want to buy'.

A — 읽고 (ilgo) comes from 읽다 (ikda), meaning 'to read'. You read a book, not a stock.

B — 마시고 (masigo) comes from 마시다 (masida), meaning 'to drink'. You drink water or juice, not stock.

C — 자고 (jago) comes from 자다 (jada), meaning 'to sleep'. This action is unrelated to stocks.

D — 사고 (sago) comes from 사다 (sada), meaning 'to buy'. It is common to say '주식을 사다' (to buy stock). This is the correct answer.

정답: A. 가격

How to solve: The sentence says something related to Reddit stock 'went up a lot' (많이 올랐어요), which made the speaker happy. In the context of stocks, the thing that goes up is the 'price'. '가격' means 'price'.

B — 이름 (ireum) means 'name'. A name doesn't go up or down.

C — 날씨 (nalssi) means 'weather'. Weather is unrelated to stocks.

D — 시간 (sigan) means 'time'. Time passes, but it doesn't go up in this context.

정답: C. 많아요

How to solve: The sentence is describing the popularity (인기) of Reddit stock. Given that it's a well-known company, its stock is very popular. The word for 'a lot' or 'many' is '많아요'. '인기가 많아요' means 'is very popular'.

A — 없어요 (eopseoyo) means 'there is not / does not exist'. It would mean 'it's not popular at all'.

B — 적어요 (jeogeoyo) means 'is few / is little'. It would mean 'it has little popularity'.

C — 많아요 (manayo) means 'is many / is a lot'. '인기가 많아요' is a common expression meaning 'is very popular'. This is the correct answer.

D — 슬퍼요 (seulpeoyo) means 'is sad'. Popularity cannot be sad.

정답: B. 벌어요

How to solve: The sentence sets up a condition: 'If the stock price goes up' (주식 가격이 오르면). The logical outcome is making a profit. The verb for 'to earn' or 'to make' money is '벌다'.

A — 써요 (sseoyo) means 'to use' or 'to spend'. You spend money, but you don't earn it this way.

B — 벌어요 (beoreoyo) means 'to earn'. '돈을 벌어요' means 'to earn money', which is the goal of investing when prices go up. This is the correct answer.

C — 잃어요 (ireoyo) means 'to lose'. You lose money if the price goes down, not up.

D — 찾아요 (chajayo) means 'to find' or 'to look for'. This verb doesn't fit the context of making a profit from stocks.
