정답: A. 이겨

How to solve: The sentence expresses happiness because the Creighton team did something today. When a team wins, fans are happy. '이겨서' (from 이기다 – to win) means 'because they won', which fits the context of happiness.

A — '이겨' is the shortened informal form of '이겨서' (because they won), from the verb '이기다' (to win). If the team wins, fans are happy. This is the correct answer.

B — '져' is the shortened informal form of '져서' (because they lost), from the verb '지다' (to lose). If the team loses, fans would not be happy.

C — '시작해' is the shortened informal form of '시작해서' (because they started), from the verb '시작하다' (to start). While they started, winning is what makes fans happy.

D — '끝내' is the shortened informal form of '끝내서' (because they finished/ended), from the verb '끝내다' (to finish/end). Finishing a game doesn't inherently make fans happy; the outcome does.
