TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [Multiple Choice] 1–5 (9/15/2026) – stefon diggs penalty

정답: B. 벌칙

How to solve: The sentence states that if you break the rules in a sports game, you receive something. '벌칙' (penalty/punishment) is the most appropriate word for what one receives for breaking rules in a game.

A — '시간' means 'time'. It does not fit the context of receiving something for breaking rules.

B — '벌칙' means 'penalty' or 'punishment'. This fits perfectly as a consequence for breaking rules in a game.

C — '선물' means 'gift'. This is unrelated to breaking rules.

D — '음식' means 'food'. This is unrelated to breaking rules.

정답: C. 규칙

How to solve: The sentence says that every sports game has something that must be followed. '규칙' (rules) is the correct word that fits this context.

A — '이름' means 'name'. It does not fit the context of things to be followed in a game.

B — '약속' means 'promise' or 'appointment'. While related to agreements, '규칙' is more specific to game conduct.

C — '규칙' means 'rule'. This is the most appropriate word for guidelines that must be followed in sports.

D — '학교' means 'school'. This is unrelated to the context of game conduct.

정답: C. 위반하면

How to solve: The sentence implies that if a certain action regarding rules occurs, the referee blows a whistle, which usually signals a foul or infraction. '위반하다' (to violate) is the verb that describes breaking a rule.

A — '지키면' means 'if you follow/keep (the rules)'. If rules are followed, the referee usually wouldn't blow the whistle for an infraction.

B — '먹으면' means 'if you eat'. This is completely irrelevant to rules and referees.

C — '위반하면' means 'if you violate/break (the rules)'. When a rule is violated, the referee typically blows the whistle to stop play or issue a penalty.

D — '쉬면' means 'if you rest'. This is unrelated to rules being followed or broken during a game.

정답: B. 조심

How to solve: The sentence states that when playing a game, one should always do something to avoid fouling. '조심하다' (to be careful) is the appropriate action to prevent making mistakes or committing fouls.

A — '행복' means 'happiness'. While it's good to be happy, it's not an action taken to avoid fouls.

B — '조심' (as in '조심해야 하다') means 'be careful'. Being careful helps to avoid committing fouls, so this is the correct answer.

C — '공부' means 'study'. This is unrelated to avoiding fouls during a game.

D — '노래' means 'song' or 'singing'. This is unrelated to avoiding fouls during a game.

정답: B. 선수

How to solve: The sentence talks about 'our team' and people who 'practice hard' to 'win the next game'. The word that fits this context, referring to individuals on a sports team, is '선수' (player).

A — '책' means 'book'. This does not refer to people on a team.

B — '선수' means 'player' or 'athlete'. This correctly refers to the individuals who practice and play on a sports team.

C — '학교' means 'school'. This is a place, not a person on a team.

D — '방' means 'room'. This is a place, not a person on a team.
