Answer:
가깝다
Explanation:
This word may be no trouble for experienced Korean speakers, but when you’re a newbie to the language, this collection of syllables could cause you trouble. When first learning how to sound out double consonants like ㄲ, you may practice pausing for before articulating the sound to give it the tensed sound you’re after. However, as this consonant is placed in the middle of a word, you aren’t given a chance to do so. The fact that the word starts with the plain consonant ㄱ doesn’t aid any help either.
