Translation:공원 아래에 용이 살아요?

아래 = (under) refers to the whole space lower than a standard point 밑 = (bottom) lowest point
why is the word order different? normally subject, object, verb. Here it becomes object subject verb... why so? shouldnt it be 요이 공원 아래에 살아요
아래 is referred to smt under a standard level, or big surfaces, like floor, soil (in this case is the park), sea level, sky etc. They're all surfaces that can't be moved, they're standards, a universal known theshold. 밑 is used when you talk about objects in general, so for example when you're referring to a pencil under the book, you have to use 밑. Hope it helps!

에서 is either "from" or where the verb actively takes place. 살다 is not really an active verb cuz the dragon can live under the park but not be under the park at the moment.

I think because the option offered "밑" as opposed to "밑에" indicating that "아래에" was the one to select. But I believe that both would be correct to use.
I always thought -이까 is for asking questions in Korean; just like ですか (desu ka) is in Japanese.
That's just one of the many ways to ask a question: -니까 is the question equivalent of -니다 in formal speech.
For the -요 form here questions don't change the ending as compared to their statement equivalent.
밑 is marked as incorrect but I don't know why. Are there specific situations where you only can use 아래 and others where you have to use 밑?
