정답: A. 공부하는 사람

How to solve: The underlined word '학생 (haksaeng)' means 'student'. A student is a person who studies. Therefore, find the choice that means 'a person who studies'.

정답: B. 날씨

How to solve: The sentence means 'Today's _______ is good.' Consider which word naturally fits with 'good' in the context of 'today'.

A — '시간 (sigan)' means 'time'. '시간이 좋다' (time is good) is less common in this context than '날씨가 좋다'.

B — '날씨 (nalssi)' means 'weather'. '날씨가 좋습니다 (nalssiga johseupnida)' means 'The weather is good', which is a very natural and common expression.

C — '음식 (eumsik)' means 'food'. '음식이 좋다' (food is good) usually refers to the taste or quality of food, not directly related to 'today' in this general sense.

D — '이름 (ireum)' means 'name'. '이름이 좋다' (name is good) refers to a name sounding good, which does not fit the blank.

정답: A. 적습니다

How to solve: The underlined word '많습니다 (manseupnida)' means 'there are many' or 'much'. You need to find the word with the opposite meaning.

A — '적습니다 (jeokseupnida)' means 'there are few' or 'little', which is the opposite of '많습니다'.

B — '좋습니다 (johseupnida)' means 'it is good'.

C — '재미있습니다 (jaemiisseupnida)' means 'it is interesting'.

D — '어렵습니다 (eoryeopseupnida)' means 'it is difficult'.

정답: C. 지금

How to solve: The sentence means 'I eat rice _______.' You need to choose the most appropriate adverb of time.

A — '어제 (eoje)' means 'yesterday'. '저는 어제 밥을 먹어요' (I eat rice yesterday) is grammatically incorrect (should be '먹었어요').

B — '내일 (naeil)' means 'tomorrow'. '저는 내일 밥을 먹어요' (I eat rice tomorrow) is grammatically incorrect (should be '먹을 거예요').

C — '지금 (jigeum)' means 'now'. '저는 지금 밥을 먹어요 (jeoneun jigeum bab-eul meogeoyo)' means 'I am eating rice now', which is grammatically correct and natural.

D — '항상 (hangsang)' means 'always'. While grammatically possible ('I always eat rice'), '지금' is a more common and direct fit for a simple present tense statement like this in a beginner context, indicating an immediate action.
