The 6 sample questions as a list
  1. How is 음식이 (food + subject particle) pronounced?

    A) [음싱이]
    B) [음식끼]
    C) [음시기]
    D) [음씨기]
    C) [음시기]

    The final ㄱ of 식 moves over to the silent ㅇ of 이, so 음식이 is said [음시기]. Liaison simply carries the sound across; it does not turn ㄱ into [ㅇ] or make it tense.
    Liaison
  2. Choose the place that best fills the blank.

    저는 사과하고 바나나를 사고 싶어요. 그래서 ___에 가요.

    A) 시장
    B) 병원
    C) 도서관
    D) 은행
    A) 시장

    You buy fruit at a market: 시장에 가요 = I go to the market. A bank, a library and a hospital do not sell fruit.
    Places
  3. Choose the particle that best fills the blank.

    저는 지하철___ 회사에 가요.

    A) 로
    B) 를
    C) 으로
    D) 이
    A) 로

    (으)로 marks the means of transport, and after a final ㄹ it is 로, not 으로: 지하철로 = by subway. 를 and 이 do not mean "by."
    Transport
  4. Choose the word that best fills the blank.

    A: 점심 먹었어요?
    B: 아니요, ___ 안 먹었어요.

    A) 벌써
    B) 너무
    C) 아직
    D) 자주
    C) 아직

    아직 with a negative means "not yet": 아직 안 먹었어요 = I haven't eaten yet. 벌써 (already) cannot go with a negative answer like this.
    Adverbs
  5. Choose the correct form for the blank.

    어제 저녁에 공원을 한 시간 ___.

    A) 거었어요
    B) 걷었어요
    C) 걸렀어요
    D) 걸었어요
    D) 걸었어요

    걷다 is ㄷ-irregular: ㄷ becomes ㄹ before a vowel, so the past is 걸었어요 = I walked. 걷었어요 treats it as regular, and 걸렀어요 adds an extra ㄹ as if it were a 르 verb.
    Irregular Stems
  6. Your grandmother is going to bed. What do you say to her?

    A) 안녕히 계세요.
    B) 많이 드세요.
    C) 안녕히 가세요.
    D) 안녕히 주무세요.
    D) 안녕히 주무세요.

    주무시다 is the honorific of 자다, so 안녕히 주무세요 = Good night (to an elder). 안녕히 계세요 and 안녕히 가세요 are goodbyes, and 많이 드세요 is said at a meal.
    Honorifics
