정답: A. 선수

How to solve: The sentence states that Mitchell Robinson is a basketball member of the New York Knicks. Among the choices, '선수' (player) is the most appropriate word to describe someone who plays a sport for a team.

A — 선수 (player) is correct as Mitchell Robinson is a basketball player.

B — 감독 (coach) is incorrect. A coach leads the team, but Robinson is a player.

C — 심판 (referee) is incorrect. A referee officiates the game.

D — 팬 (fan) is incorrect. A fan supports the team, but is not part of the playing staff.

정답: C. 리바운드

How to solve: Mitchell Robinson is well-known for his strong performance in grabbing rebounds in basketball. Therefore, '리바운드' (rebound) fits best into the blank describing his excellent ability.

A — 득점 (scoring) refers to points scored, which is not his primary strength compared to rebounding.

B — 패스 (passing) refers to distributing the ball, which is not his main ability.

C — 리바운드 (rebound) is correct. Mitchell Robinson is renowned for his rebounding prowess.

D — 달리기 (running) refers to general movement, but not a specific basketball skill he is exceptional at in this context.

정답: B. 수비

How to solve: The sentence states that he prevents the opponent's offense near the basket. This action is characteristic of '수비' (defense) in basketball.

A — 공격 (offense) refers to scoring, which is the opposite of blocking the opponent's offense.

B — 수비 (defense) is correct. Blocking the opponent's offense is a defensive action.

C — 휴식 (rest) means taking a break, which is unrelated to playing the game.

D — 연습 (practice) means training, which is done before or between games, not during the game to block an opponent.

정답: B. 키

How to solve: Blocking shots in basketball is highly dependent on a player's physical dimension, particularly their '키' (height). Mitchell Robinson is known for being very tall, which contributes to his shot-blocking ability.

A — 몸무게 (weight) can be a factor in strength, but height is more directly related to blocking shots.

B — 키 (height) is correct. A player's height is crucial for being effective at blocking shots.

C — 나이 (age) is irrelevant to the physical ability of blocking shots.

D — 속도 (speed) is important for various aspects of basketball but less directly linked to the physical reach required for blocking shots than height.

정답: C. 경기

How to solve: The New York Knicks and Boston Celtics are basketball teams. When two teams meet, especially in a competitive context, it's called a '경기' (game/match). The sentence describes it as 'fun', which is typical for a sports game.

A — 회의 (meeting) refers to a formal discussion, not a sports event.

B — 공부 (study) refers to learning, which is unrelated to sports teams competing.

C — 경기 (game/match) is correct. This is the term for a sports competition between two teams.
