Choose the matching statement

내용과 같은 것 고르기

Read a short three-sentence text (Q43–45) and choose the statement with the same content.

Test tips

  1. Compare each option with the matching sentence: check who, when (아침/저녁, 어제/내일), where and how many.
  2. The key is usually a paraphrase (퇴근 후에 = 일이 끝난 후에, 밥을 먹다 = 식사를 하다), rarely a copied sentence.
  3. Wrong options change exactly one detail or flip it (혼자 ↔ 같이, 싸다 ↔ 비싸다, 넓다 ↔ 작다).
  4. Watch tense: 샀습니다 (bought) is not 살 겁니다 (will buy); 되고 싶어 합니다 (wants to become) is not 입니다 (is).
  5. Don't infer beyond the text: choose only what it states.

Explanation

Method: take each option, find the matching sentence in the text and compare the details (time, place, who). The last sentence '봄이 되어서 꽃이 많이 피었습니다' (spring came, so many flowers bloomed) means the same as option 3 '봄에 꽃이 많이 피었습니다'. Option 1 changes the time: the writer waters '아침마다' (every morning), not in the evening. Option 2 is not in the text: the writer grows flowers, not buys them. Option 4 contradicts the first sentence '베란다에서 꽃을 키웁니다'.
