정답: B. 경기

How to solve: The sentence is about South Africa and Pakistan playing soccer. The word that means 'match' or 'game' is '경기'. The context of two countries and a sport (축구) points to this word.

A — '공부' means 'study'. It does not fit the context of playing a sport.

B — '경기' means 'match' or 'game'. This is the correct word for a sports competition between two countries.

C — '식사' means 'meal'. It is unrelated to playing soccer.

D — '여행' means 'travel'. While teams travel for games, the sentence describes the event itself, not the act of traveling.

정답: D. 찹니다

How to solve: The sentence describes an action a player (선수) does with a ball (공). The most appropriate action from the choices is 'kicking'. '찹니다' is the verb for 'to kick'.

A — '읽습니다' means 'reads'. You cannot read a ball.

B — '마십니다' means 'drinks'. You cannot drink a ball.

C — '보냅니다' means 'sends'. While you can 'send' a ball by passing it, '찹니다' is a more direct and common action verb for kicking a ball in soccer.

D — '찹니다' means 'kicks'. This is a primary action in soccer and fits the context perfectly.

정답: C. 열심히

How to solve: The sentence is about people cheering for (응원합니다) their country's team. Cheering is typically done with passion and energy. The adverb that means 'diligently' or 'enthusiastically' is '열심히'.

A — '슬프게' means 'sadly'. People usually cheer happily, not sadly.

B — '조용히' means 'quietly'. Cheering is usually loud, not quiet.

C — '열심히' means 'hard' or 'enthusiastically'. This correctly describes how people cheer for their team.

D — '맛있게' means 'deliciously'. This adverb is used for eating and is irrelevant to cheering.

정답: A. 이긴

How to solve: The sentence contrasts a happy team with a sad team (진 팀 – the losing team). The opposite of 'losing' is 'winning'. The word for 'to win' is '이기다', and its past participle form used as an adjective is '이긴'.

A — '이긴' means 'the team that won'. This is the correct word as winning teams are happy.

B — '작은' means 'small'. The size of the team is not relevant to being happy or sad about the game's result.

C — '같은' means 'same'. This does not make sense in the context of a game result.

D — '나쁜' means 'bad'. While a losing team might feel bad, '이긴' provides the direct contrast to '진' (lost).

정답: A. 선수

How to solve: The sentence lists different roles in a soccer game: goalkeeper (골키퍼), striker (공격수), and defender (수비수). These are all types of 'players'. The Korean word for 'player' or 'athlete' is '선수'.

A — '선수' means 'player' or 'athlete'. This is the correct category for goalkeepers, strikers, and defenders.

B — '음식' means 'food'. This is unrelated to soccer roles.

C — '장소' means 'place'. These are roles, not places.

D — '나라' means 'country'. While players are from countries, the words listed are their positions on a team.
