정답: B. 감독

How to solve: The sentence states that a new person has been appointed to the U.S. national soccer team. Among the given choices, "감독" (coach/manager) is the most appropriate word to describe someone appointed to lead a sports team.

A — 선수 (player) refers to someone who plays the sport, not someone appointed to lead the team.

A — 휴식 (rest) is the opposite of what a coach would typically 'make' players do every morning for improvement.

B — 경기 (game/match) is played, not 'made to do' daily by a coach in the same way as training. Games happen periodically.

C — 훈련 (training) is the regular activity a coach directs players to do to improve their skills and fitness. This fits the context perfectly.
