정답: A. 사람

How to solve: The sentence states 'Alan Dershowitz is a famous ____.' To complete this, we need a noun that describes what Alan Dershowitz is. Among the choices, 'person' is the most suitable.

A — '사람' means 'person'. This fits perfectly as Alan Dershowitz is a famous person.

B — '의자' means 'chair'. This is incorrect as a person cannot be a chair.

C — '컴퓨터' means 'computer'. This is incorrect as a person cannot be a computer.

D — '바지' means 'pants'. This is incorrect as a person cannot be pants.

정답: D. 써요

How to solve: The sentence translates to 'He ____ many books.' We need a verb that describes an action related to books, specifically creating them. Among the choices, 'writes' is the correct verb.

A — '먹어요' means 'eats'. People eat food, not books.

B — '읽어요' means 'reads'. While one can read books, the context '많은 책을 ____' usually implies creating them if it's about an author, or consuming them if it's a reader. 'Writes' is a stronger fit for a prominent figure known for publications.

C — '마셔요' means 'drinks'. People drink beverages, not books.

D — '써요' means 'writes'. This is the appropriate verb for creating books.

정답: A. 이야기합니다

How to solve: The sentence translates to 'Alan Dershowitz often ____ on TV.' We need a verb describing a common activity a public figure like him would do on TV. 'Talks' is the most natural fit.

A — '이야기합니다' means 'talks' or 'speaks'. This is a very common activity for people on TV, especially public figures.

B — '춤춥니다' means 'dances'. While possible, it's not a typical activity for a prominent academic/legal figure on TV.

정답: A. 유명한

How to solve: The sentence translates to 'Alan Dershowitz is a ___ person.' We need an adjective that best describes a well-known public figure. 'Famous' is the most suitable choice.

A — '유명한' means 'famous'. This accurately describes a prominent public figure.

B — '작은' means 'small'. This refers to physical size and is not appropriate here.

C — '높은' means 'tall' or 'high'. This refers to physical height or status, but 'famous' is more direct for a well-known individual.

D — '비싼' means 'expensive'. This refers to cost and is irrelevant to describing a person's characteristic in this context.

정답: A. 가르칩니다

How to solve: The sentence translates to 'He ____ students at school.' We need a verb that describes the typical action of someone interacting with students in a school setting. 'Teaches' is the most appropriate.

A — '가르칩니다' means 'teaches'. This is the primary role of an educator at a school.

B — '삽니다' can mean 'buys' or 'lives'. Neither makes sense in the context of students at school.

C — '만듭니다' means 'makes' or 'creates'. This does not fit the interaction with students at school.

D — '봅니다' means 'sees' or 'watches'. While one sees students, 'teaches' is a more specific and fitting action for an educator.
