정답: B. 보았습니다

How to solve: The sentence talks about meeting an important person. The verb '보다' can mean 'to see' or 'to meet'. Therefore, '보았습니다' (saw/met) is the most appropriate verb to complete the sentence, indicating he met an important person.

A — '만들었습니다' means 'made'. This does not fit the context of meeting a person.

B — '보았습니다' means 'saw' or 'met'. It fits perfectly as one 'sees' or 'meets' an important person.

C — '먹었습니다' means 'ate'. This is not relevant to meeting a person.

D — '잤습니다' means 'slept'. This is unrelated to the context of meeting someone.

정답: A. 음식

How to solve: The sentence states that Nicholas Rossi likes something Korean. Among the choices, '음식' (food) is a common thing that people enjoy from a specific country. The phrase '한국 음식' (Korean food) is very natural and fits well with '좋아합니다' (likes).

A — '음식' means 'food'. '한국 음식' (Korean food) is a very common phrase and fits well with '좋아합니다' (likes).

B — '회사' means 'company'. '한국 회사' (Korean company) doesn't typically fit the 'likes' context as a general preference for something Korean.

C — '학교' means 'school'. '한국 학교' (Korean school) doesn't fit the 'likes' context as a general preference.

D — '병원' means 'hospital'. '한국 병원' (Korean hospital) doesn't fit the 'likes' context as a general preference.

정답: C. 출장

How to solve: The sentence indicates that Nicholas Rossi is very busy ('바쁩니다') because of some '일' (work/matter). Among the given options, '출장' (business trip) is a type of work-related activity that often makes one busy. The other options are less directly linked to being 'busy with work/matters' in a professional sense.

A — '가족' means 'family'. While family matters can make one busy, '가족 일' is less specific for general busy-ness related to work or frequent travel.

B — '운동' means 'exercise'. Exercise is usually for leisure or health, not typically a source of 'being busy' in a burdensome way.

C — '출장' means 'business trip'. Business trips are work-related activities that commonly cause one to be very busy and occupy time. This fits the context well.

D — '음악' means 'music'. Listening to or playing music is not typically a reason to be 'busy' in the context of work or overwhelming schedules.

정답: A. 읽습니다

How to solve: The sentence describes a morning routine with '신문' (newspaper). The most common and direct action one does with a newspaper is to 'read' it. Therefore, '읽습니다' (reads) is the correct verb.

A — '읽습니다' means 'reads'. People read newspapers, so this is the correct choice.

B — '마십니다' means 'drinks'. You drink beverages, not newspapers.

C — '삽니다' means 'buys'. While one might buy a newspaper, the context '아침마다' (every morning) and the general action implies reading it as the primary activity after acquisition. The sentence focuses on the action performed with the newspaper, not its purchase.

D — '만듭니다' means 'makes'. You do not make a newspaper in this context.

정답: B. 가족

How to solve: The sentence states that Nicholas Rossi went to see a movie on the weekend with someone. Among the choices, '가족' (family) is the most natural companion for leisure activities like watching a movie on the weekend. The other options are places or entities not typically associated with going to the movies with someone.

A — '회사' means 'company'. One doesn't usually go to see a movie with 'company' (as in the entity) in this context. While colleagues might go, '회사' itself is not a companion.

B — '가족' means 'family'. Going to the movies with family is a very common weekend activity, making this the correct choice.

C — '은행' means 'bank'. A bank is a place, not a person or group of people to go to a movie with.

D — '병원' means 'hospital'. A hospital is a place, not a person or group of people to go to a movie with. Furthermore, going to a hospital for leisure is highly unusual.
