TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘] 1–5 (9/12/2026) – mason miller

정답: D. 보통

How to solve: The sentence describes a daily routine of jogging in the park ('매일 아침' – every morning). '보통' (usually) is the most appropriate word to describe a regular, common activity.

A — 가끔 (sometimes): Does not fit well with '매일 아침' (every morning).

B — 항상 (always): Could fit, but '보통' (usually) is a very common and natural fit for daily routines.

C — 절대로 (never): Contradicts '매일 아침' (every morning).

D — 보통 (usually): Best fits '매일 아침' to describe a regular, common activity.

정답: D. 상냥한

How to solve: The sentence describes Mason Miller's personality, starting with '친절하고' (kind and). We need an adjective that complements 'kind.' '상냥한' (gentle, sweet-natured) is a good fit as it describes a similar positive personality trait.

A — 조용한 (quiet): Describes a different trait, not directly complementing '친절한' (kind).

B — 바쁜 (busy): Describes a state, not a personality trait that complements '친절한'.

C — 똑똑한 (smart): Describes intelligence, not directly complementing '친절한'.

D — 상냥한 (gentle, sweet-natured): Closely related to '친절한' (kind), fitting well to describe a friendly personality.

정답: C. 읽습니다

How to solve: The sentence states '주말에 도서관에서 책을' (books at the library on the weekend). The most appropriate action to perform with a book at a library is 'reading.'

A — 먹습니다 (eats): You don't eat books.

B — 마십니다 (drinks): You don't drink books.

C — 읽습니다 (reads): This is the correct action for books at a library.

D — 삽니다 (buys): While you can buy books, it's not the primary action associated with a library.

정답: C. 봤습니다

How to solve: The keyword '어제' (yesterday) indicates that the action happened in the past. Therefore, the verb must be in the past tense. '봤습니다' is the correct past tense form of 보다 (to see/watch).

A — 봅니다 (watch/see, present tense): Incorrect tense for '어제'.

B — 볼 겁니다 (will watch/see, future tense): Incorrect tense for '어제'.

C — 봤습니다 (watched/saw, past tense): Correct tense for '어제'.

D — 보세요 (please watch/see, imperative): Incorrect form for describing a past action.

정답: A. 책

How to solve: The sentence states '한국어 ( ) 열심히 공부합니다' (studies Korean diligently). We need a noun that is commonly studied. '책' (book) is a very common object for studying.

A — 책 (book): A common object for studying, fitting the context of '한국어 공부' (Korean study).

B — 시장 (market): A place, not something you study.

C — 가게 (store): A place, not something you study.

D — 의자 (chair): An object, but not something you study directly.
