TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [vocabulary] 1–5 (6/17/2026) – commodore flip phone

정답: A. 열어서

How to solve: The sentence describes how old flip phones were used. '플립 폰' (flip phone) implies an action of opening or closing. To see the screen and use the phone, one must 'open' it. '열어서' means 'by opening'.

A — '열어서' (by opening) correctly describes the action needed to use a flip phone's screen.

B — '닫아서' (by closing) is the opposite action, usually done after using the phone.

C — '눌러서' (by pressing) refers to pressing buttons, which is part of using a phone, but not the primary action for accessing the screen of a flip phone.

D — '돌려서' (by turning/rotating) does not fit the context of using a flip phone.

정답: C. 플립

How to solve: The sentence talks about a type of '이동 전화기' (mobile phone) that was popular in the past. '커모도어' refers to the brand, and the blank describes the type of phone. '플립 폰' (flip phone) is the specific type of mobile phone mentioned by the user.

A — '냉장고' (refrigerator) is a home appliance, not a mobile phone.

B — '세탁기' (washing machine) is a home appliance, not a mobile phone.

C — '플립' (flip) correctly describes the type of phone, as in 'flip phone'.

D — '텔레비전' (television) is an entertainment device, not a mobile phone.

정답: C. 편리하게

How to solve: The sentence states that old flip phones were '작아서' (because they were small). The blank needs an adverb describing how they could be carried. Being small generally makes something 'convenient' to carry. '편리하게' means 'conveniently'.

A — '불편하게' (inconveniently) is the opposite of what 'small size' implies for portability.

B — '어렵게' (with difficulty) is also contrary to the advantage of a small size for carrying.

C — '편리하게' (conveniently) correctly describes the advantage of a small phone for portability.

D — '느리게' (slowly) refers to speed, which is not directly related to carrying a small phone.

정답: A. 버튼

How to solve: The sentence describes a part of an old flip phone located '화면 아래에' (below the screen) with numbers written on it. This refers to the physical 'buttons' on older phones.

A — '버튼' (button) correctly identifies the numbered physical keys found on flip phones.

B — '화면' (screen) is above, not below, and displays information rather than having numbers written on it for input.

C — '카메라' (camera) is usually at the back or top, not typically below the screen with numbers.

D — '소리' (sound) is an output, not a physical part with numbers on it.

정답: B. 추억

How to solve: The sentence describes looking at an old flip phone and remembering something from the past. '옛날' (old times/past) is a strong clue. '추억' (memory/nostalgia) is the most suitable word for recalling things from the past when looking at an old item.

A — '미래' (future) is the opposite of '옛날' (past).

B — '추억' (memory/nostalgia) perfectly fits the context of remembering the past when seeing an old item.

C — '걱정' (worry) is an emotion, not something directly 'remembered' from seeing an old phone in this context.

D — '새로운 것' (new thing) is the opposite of '옛날' (old times).
