정답: B. 선수

How to solve: The sentence discusses a 'mock draft' and mentions 'being picked as 1st overall'. In a sports draft, 'players' are picked. Therefore, '선수' (player) is the most appropriate word.

A — '먹다' (to eat) does not fit the context.

B — '자다' (to sleep) does not fit the context.

C — '예상하다' (to predict/expect) means to think something will happen, which is what experts do regarding draft results.

D — '뛰다' (to run/jump) does not fit the context.

정답: C. 미래

How to solve: The sentence implies that something significant for young players 'can be decided in the NBA draft'. A draft typically shapes a player's 'future' career. Therefore, '미래' (future) is the most suitable word.

A — '과거' (past) is something that has already happened, not decided in a draft.

B — '현재' (present) refers to now, but the draft is about future careers.

C — '미래' (future) refers to what will happen, which is what the draft impacts for young players.

D — '시간' (time) is too general and doesn't specifically fit the context of a player's career being shaped.
