A — 시작하다 (to start) can be used, but '화재가 발생하다' is a more natural and common expression for a fire breaking out.

D — 출발하다 (to depart) is incorrect. A fire does not 'depart'.

정답: B. 피해

A — 도움 (help) is incorrect. A fire does not cause a factory to receive 'help' in this phrasing, but rather to suffer from something.

정답: C. 진압하다

How to solve: The sentence states that firefighters quickly responded and did something to the fire. The role of firefighters during a fire is to put it out. '진압하다' (to suppress, to extinguish) is the correct verb for this action.

A — 만들다 (to make) is incorrect. Firefighters do not 'make' fire.

B — 찾다 (to find) is incorrect. While they might find the source, their primary action is to extinguish the fire.

C — 진압하다 (to suppress, to extinguish) is correct. '불을 진압하다' means 'to extinguish a fire', which is the main job of firefighters.

D — 시작하다 (to start) is incorrect. Firefighters do not 'start' fire.

정답: A. 예방

How to solve: The sentence suggests strengthening safety measures to deal with future accidents like this. Safety measures are implemented to stop something negative from happening. '예방하다' (to prevent) is the most suitable verb for this context.

A — 예방하다 (to prevent) is correct. Safety measures are put in place to prevent accidents.

B — 발생하다 (to occur, to happen) is incorrect. You don't strengthen safety measures 'to occur' an accident; rather, you want to prevent its occurrence.

C — 치료하다 (to treat, to cure) is incorrect. Accidents are not 'treated' in this way; injuries are treated, or damage is repaired. The focus here is on stopping the accident itself.

D — 발견하다 (to discover, to find) is incorrect. While discovery is part of incident response, the primary goal of strengthening safety measures is not merely to 'discover' accidents, but to prevent them.
