정답: A. 회사

정답: C. 가격

How to solve: The sentence talks about '주식' (stock) and something that '올랐습니다' (went up). When talking about stock, what usually goes up or down is its 'price'. '가격' (price) is the suitable word.

B — '음식' (food) is incorrect. Food is unrelated to stock going up.

C — '가격' (price) is correct. Stock price goes up or down.

D — '운동' (exercise) is incorrect. Exercise is unrelated to stock.

정답: C. 사고

How to solve: The sentence expresses a desire to do something with '좋은 주식' (good stock). People usually 'buy' good stock. '사고' (buying, from 사다) is the correct verb.

A — '듣고' (listening) is incorrect. You don't listen to stock.

B — '보고' (seeing/watching) is incorrect in this context. While you might watch stock trends, the desire is to acquire it.

C — '사고' (buying) is correct. You buy stock.

D — '팔고' (selling) is incorrect. While you can sell stock, the desire to acquire 'good stock' typically implies buying it.

정답: C. 올랐습니다

How to solve: The sentence states 'UPS 주식이 많이' (UPS stock a lot). This implies a change in the stock's value. We need a verb indicating an increase. '올랐습니다' (went up/rose) is the most fitting word for stock value increasing significantly.

A — '갔습니다' (went) is incorrect. It doesn't describe the movement of stock value.

B — '왔습니다' (came) is incorrect. It doesn't describe the movement of stock value.

C — '올랐습니다' (went up/rose) is correct. It describes an increase in stock value.

D — '내렸습니다' (went down/fell) is incorrect in this context, as '많이' generally implies a positive increase here, and '올랐습니다' is the direct opposite of '내렸습니다' for prices/values.

정답: C. 팔아서

How to solve: The sentence states '돈을 벌었어요' (earned money). People typically earn money from stock by 'selling' it at a higher price than they bought it. '팔아서' (by selling, from 팔다) is the appropriate word.

A — '사서' (by buying) is incorrect. While buying is the first step, you earn money by selling, not just by buying.

B — '만들어서' (by making) is incorrect. You don't 'make' stock in this context.

C — '팔아서' (by selling) is correct. Selling stock is how you typically realize profits and earn money.

D — '지어서' (by building/making (a house, clothes)) is incorrect. This verb is used for building or creating physical things like houses or clothes, not for stock.
