TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [Vocabulary] 1–5 (9/21/2026) – strands hint

정답: A. 연필

How to solve: The sentence asks what is inside the bag, mentioning 'books' and a blank. The correct answer should be an item commonly found in a bag alongside books, typically school supplies. '연필' (pencil) is the most suitable choice.

A — Correct. '연필' means pencil, which is a common item found in a bag with books for studying or school.

B — Incorrect. '음식' means food, which is not typically stored with books in a school bag.

C — Incorrect. '운동' means exercise, which is an activity, not a physical item to be put in a bag.

D — Incorrect. '노래' means song, which is a sound or piece of music, not a physical object.

정답: A. 공부해요

How to solve: The sentence states 'I ______ Korean every day.' To complete this sentence meaningfully, a verb related to learning or practicing the language is required. '공부해요' (study) is the most appropriate verb.

A — Correct. '공부해요' means 'study.' So, 'I study Korean every day' makes perfect sense.

B — Incorrect. '자요' means 'sleep.' 'I sleep Korean every day' is grammatically incorrect and nonsensical.

C — Incorrect. '와요' means 'come.' 'I come Korean every day' is grammatically incorrect and nonsensical.

D — Incorrect. '앉아요' means 'sit.' 'I sit Korean every day' is grammatically incorrect and nonsensical.

정답: C. 좋아요

How to solve: The sentence describes a movie and then states 'It's fun!' (재미있어요!). Therefore, the blank needs a positive adjective that aligns with 'fun' to describe the movie. '좋아요' (good) is the most fitting general positive descriptor.

A — Incorrect. '예뻐요' means 'pretty' or 'beautiful.' While a movie might have beautiful visuals, 'pretty' is not a standard general descriptor for a good movie, especially when followed by 'It's fun!'

B — Incorrect. '작아요' means 'small.' This describes size and is irrelevant to the quality or enjoyment of a movie.

C — Correct. '좋아요' means 'good' or 'likeable.' It is a general positive adjective that naturally precedes 'It's fun!' when describing a movie, meaning 'This movie is really good. It's fun!'

D — Incorrect. '바빠요' means 'busy.' This describes a person's state, not a movie.

정답: C. 도서관

How to solve: The sentence states 'I go to the _______ to borrow books.' The blank requires a place where one can borrow books. '도서관' (library) is the correct institution for this purpose.

A — Incorrect. '은행' means bank, where people handle money.

B — Incorrect. '병원' means hospital, where people receive medical treatment.

C — Correct. '도서관' means library, which is the place for borrowing books.

D — Incorrect. '시장' means market, where people buy and sell goods.

정답: B. 내일

How to solve: The verb '만날 거예요' (will meet) indicates a future action. Therefore, the blank needs a time adverb that refers to the future. '내일' (tomorrow) is the only future-oriented option.

A — Incorrect. '어제' means 'yesterday,' which is a past time adverb and does not match the future tense verb.

B — Correct. '내일' means 'tomorrow,' which is a future time adverb and perfectly matches the future tense verb '만날 거예요' (will meet).

C — Incorrect. '지금' means 'now,' which refers to the present or immediate future, but '내일' is a more definite future time for 'will meet.'

D — Incorrect. '항상' means 'always,' which indicates a habitual action, not a specific future event.
