What is the Korean term for 'arm'?

• A. Pahl
• B. Pook
• C. Palm
• D. Pal

Answer: (A)

This question tests Korean body-part vocabulary and how that word is written in romanization. The arm in Korean is 팔, pronounced with an aspirated initial and ending in an L sound. In romanization, 팔 is often rendered as Pahl to reflect the breathy start of the ㅍ and the final ㄹ, closely matching the actual pronunciation. Among the options, Pahl best captures how 팔 sounds in Korean. Palm refers to the palm of the hand (손바닥), which is not the same part, and Pal, while close, does not convey the aspirated initial as clearly. Pook is unrelated to this word. So the correct choice is the one that mirrors the spoken Korean term 팔.
