정답: D. 갑니다

How to solve: The sentence means 'I ___ to school every day.' The verb '갑니다' means 'go', which fits the context of going to school.

A — '공부합니다' means 'study'. While one studies at school, 'study to school' is grammatically incorrect.

B — '읽습니다' means 'read'. 'Read to school' does not make sense.

C — '삽니다' means 'buy' or 'live'. Neither fits the context of movement towards school.

D — '갑니다' means 'go'. This is the correct verb to describe going to school.

정답: C. 물

How to solve: The sentence means 'I drink ___ in the morning.' The verb '마십니다' means 'drink', so we need a drinkable item.

A — '밥' means 'rice' or 'meal'. One eats rice, not drinks it.

B — '빵' means 'bread'. One eats bread, not drinks it.

C — '물' means 'water'. One drinks water, which fits the context.

D — '책' means 'book'. One reads a book, not drinks it.

정답: C. 좋다

How to solve: The sentence is about the weather. We need an adjective that describes weather. The blank requires the root form of an adjective to complete the '입니다' structure. '좋다' (good/nice) is a common description for pleasant weather.

A — '덥다' means 'hot'. It could fit if the weather was hot, but '좋다' is a more general positive description often used for good weather.

B — '춥다' means 'cold'. It could fit if the weather was cold.

C — '좋다' means 'good' or 'nice'. This is a very common way to describe pleasant weather ('날씨가 좋습니다').

D — '작다' means 'small'. This adjective does not describe weather.

정답: A. 매일

How to solve: The sentence means 'I study Korean ___.' We need an adverb that describes the frequency or manner of studying. '매일' (every day) is a common adverb of frequency.

A — '매일' means 'every day'. This fits well with the action of studying ('I study Korean every day').

B — '빨리' means 'quickly'. While one might study quickly, '매일' provides a more fundamental context of regularity.

C — '조용히' means 'quietly'. One might study quietly, but '매일' is a more direct adverb of frequency for study habits.

D — '가끔' means 'sometimes'. This is also an adverb of frequency, but '매일' is a more common positive statement for studying a language. Without more context, '매일' is a strong choice indicating consistent effort.

정답: D. 카페

How to solve: The sentence means 'I drink coffee at ___.' We need a place where people typically drink coffee.

A — '학교' means 'school'. While some schools have cafes, '카페' is the most direct and common answer.

B — '집' means 'home'. One can drink coffee at home, but '카페' is the designated place for it as a public activity.

C — '도서관' means 'library'. It's not a primary place for drinking coffee, though some might have small cafes.

D — '카페' means 'cafe'. This is the most appropriate and common place to drink coffee.
