정답: A. 선수

How to solve: The sentence describes people actively participating in a football game ('뛰고 있습니다' – are running). The blank needs a word for people who play sports. '선수' (seonsu) means 'player' or 'athlete', which fits the context perfectly.

A — '선수' (seonsu) means 'player/athlete'. This is the correct word for people playing football.

B — '의사' (uisa) means 'doctor'. Doctors do not play in a football game.

C — '학생' (haksaeng) means 'student'. While the players might be students, 'player' is the more specific and appropriate role in this context.

D — '선생님' (seonsaengnim) means 'teacher'. Teachers are not the ones playing in the game.

정답: C. 응원

How to solve: The phrase '우리 팀이 이기도록' means 'so that our team wins'. The sentence requires a verb that expresses support for a team. '응원했어요' (eungwonhaesseoyo) means 'cheered', which is the appropriate action to help a team win.

A — '공부' (gongbu) means 'study'. Studying is not directly related to supporting a sports team during a game.

B — '쇼핑' (syoping) means 'shopping'. This is an unrelated activity.

C — '응원' (eungwon) means 'cheering/support'. This is the correct action to show support for a team.

D — '요리' (yori) means 'cooking'. This is an unrelated activity.

정답: B. 경기장

How to solve: The sentence says, 'I went to the ______ to watch the important football final.' The most appropriate place to watch a major sports event is a '경기장' (gyeonggijang), which means 'stadium' or 'sports field'.

A — '병원' (byeongwon) means 'hospital'. People go there for medical treatment, not to watch sports.

B — '경기장' (gyeonggijang) means 'stadium'. This is the correct venue for a football game.

C — '학교' (hakgyo) means 'school'. While a school may have a field, 'stadium' is the more general and appropriate term for a final match.

D — '공원' (gongwon) means 'park'. Parks are generally for recreation, not for official championship games.

정답: D. 우승

B — '숙제' (sukje) means 'homework'. This is unrelated to sports.

C — '약속' (yaksok) means 'promise' or 'appointment'. This does not fit the context.

정답: C. 경기

How to solve: The context is an 'important' event ('중요한 ______가 있어요') where the speaker wants to win ('꼭 이기고 싶어요'). The word for a sports 'game' or 'match' is '경기' (gyeonggi).

A — '회의' (hoeui) means 'meeting'. You do not 'win' a meeting in a competitive sense.

B — '생일' (saengil) means 'birthday'. This is a celebration, not a competition.

C — '경기' (gyeonggi) means 'game/match'. This is the correct word for a competitive sporting event you want to win.

D — '시험' (siheom) means 'test/exam'. While you want to do well, 'win' is more commonly used for a sports match.
