정답: B. 경기

How to solve: The sentence states that Rolly Romero will 'win' (이길 것이다). To win, one must participate in a 'match' or 'game'. Among the choices, '경기' (match, game) is the most suitable word.

A — '시간' means time. One cannot win a time in this context.

B — '경기' means match or game. It fits perfectly with the verb '이길 것이다' (will win).

C — '장소' means place. One cannot win a place in this context.

D — '친구' means friend. One does not win a friend in a competition context.

정답: C. 이기려고

How to solve: The sentence talks about Rolly Romero training hard every day. Training is typically done with a goal in mind, especially for an athlete. The phrase '-(으)려고' indicates purpose. Among the choices, '이기려고' (in order to win) is the most logical purpose for an athlete's training.

A — '놀려고' means in order to play. While playing might be part of life, it's not the primary purpose of an athlete's 'hard training'.

B — '보려고' means in order to see. This does not fit the context of training.

C — '이기려고' means in order to win. This is a very common and logical purpose for an athlete's hard training.

D — '먹으려고' means in order to eat. While eating is necessary, it's not the direct purpose of the 'hard training' itself.

정답: B. 강한

How to solve: The sentence describes Rolly Romero as a boxer. Boxers typically need to be powerful and robust. Among the adjectives provided, '강한' (strong) is the most appropriate characteristic for a boxer, especially when used with '매우' (very).

A — '약한' means weak. A boxer is generally not described as weak.

B — '강한' means strong. This is a key quality for a boxer.

C — '작은' means small. While size can vary, 'strong' is a more fundamental characteristic for a boxer's prowess.
