TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [빈칸 채우기] 1–5 (9/4/2026) – tucker carlson

정답: B. 일어나요

How to solve: The sentence describes an action performed early in the morning every day. '일어나요' (get up) is the most natural fit for '일찍' (early).

A — '마셔요' means 'drink'. While one might drink in the morning, '일찍 마셔요' does not form a natural common phrase describing a morning routine as well as '일찍 일어나요'.

B — '일어나요' means 'get up' or 'wake up'. '아침 일찍 일어나요' (I get up early every morning) is a very common and natural expression.

C — '먹어요' means 'eat'. While one eats in the morning (breakfast), '일찍 먹어요' implies eating early, not waking up early.

D — '읽어요' means 'read'. While one might read early, it is not the primary action associated with '일찍' in a general morning routine.

정답: C. 도서관

How to solve: The question asks for a word related to 'reading a book' (책을 읽다). A library (도서관) is a place where people read books.

A — '의자' means 'chair'. While you might sit on a chair to read, it is not as directly related to the act of reading a book as a library.

B — '연필' means 'pencil'. Pencils are for writing, not directly for reading a book.

C — '도서관' means 'library'. A library is a place specifically for books and reading.

D — '가방' means 'bag'. You might carry a book in a bag, but a bag itself is not directly related to the act of reading.

정답: C. 적다

How to solve: The question asks for the opposite of '많다' (many/a lot). '적다' (few/a little) is the direct opposite in terms of quantity.

A — '작다' means 'small'. It is the opposite of '크다' (big), not '많다'.

B — '없다' means 'to not exist' or 'to not have'. While related to quantity (having none), it is not the direct opposite of '많다' which means 'to be many/a lot'. '적다' is specifically about a small quantity.

C — '적다' means 'few' or 'a little'. This is the direct opposite of '많다' (many/a lot).

D — '크다' means 'big'. It is the opposite of '작다' (small), not '많다'.

정답: C. 네, 먹었어요.

How to solve: The friend asks 'Did you eat?' (밥 먹었어요?). If you already ate lunch, you should respond affirmatively in the past tense, 'Yes, I ate.' (네, 먹었어요.).

A — '네, 먹을 거예요.' means 'Yes, I will eat.' This implies you haven't eaten yet but plan to.

B — '아니요, 먹고 싶어요.' means 'No, I want to eat.' This implies you haven't eaten and are hungry.

C — '네, 먹었어요.' means 'Yes, I ate.' This correctly answers that you have already eaten in the past tense.

D — '아니요, 안 먹어요.' means 'No, I don't eat (it).' This implies a general refusal or habit of not eating, not specifically about the current meal.

정답: B. 매일

How to solve: The sentence '저는 한국어를 배웁니다' (I learn Korean) implies an ongoing or regular activity. '매일' (every day) best fits this context among the given choices.

A — '오늘' means 'today'. While one can learn Korean today, '매일' emphasizes the regularity more strongly for the general statement 'I learn Korean.'

B — '매일' means 'every day'. This fits naturally with an ongoing activity like learning a language.

C — '어제' means 'yesterday'. This would imply learning in the past, which doesn't fit the present tense '배웁니다' as well. '어제 한국어를 배웠습니다.' would be correct.

D — '주말' means 'weekend'. While one might learn Korean on the weekend, '매일' is a more general and common expression for consistent study. '주말에 한국어를 배웁니다.' would also be correct, but '매일' provides a stronger, more general fit for 'I learn Korean' when speaking about the habit.
