TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [Vocabulary] 1–5 (9/22/2026) – oura ipo

정답: A. 사람

How to solve: This question asks for a noun that completes the sentence 'Our company has good _______.' An IPO's success largely depends on its people and human resources. Among the choices, '사람' (people) is the most fitting for describing a company's core asset.

A — '사람' (people) fits well. A good company is often described as having good employees or human resources, which is crucial for growth and success, including an IPO.

B — '건물' (building) is a physical asset, but 'good building' is less directly related to the success implied by an IPO context than 'good people' regarding a company's quality.

C — '물건' (thing/product) could be plausible if the company makes products, but 'good people' is more universally applicable to a company's overall quality and potential for an IPO.

D — '음식' (food) does not fit the context of a company's assets or qualities unless it's a food company, but even then, it's less direct than 'people'.

정답: B. 계획

How to solve: The sentence talks about making something 'for the future'. A company makes 'plans' for its future development and growth, especially in the context of an IPO. Therefore, '계획' (plan) is the most appropriate word.

A — '놀이' (play) does not fit the context of a company's future activities or what a company would '세우다' (establish/make).

B — '계획' (plan) is the most suitable word. Companies make plans for their future, including business strategies and major events like an IPO.

C — '날씨' (weather) is irrelevant to a company's internal actions or future preparations.

D — '그림' (picture) does not fit the verb '세우다' (to make/establish) in this context for a future-oriented action or strategy.

정답: B. 성공

How to solve: The phrase '끝내고 싶습니다' (want to finish) implies a desired outcome. For a company, the desired outcome of a project or endeavor (like an IPO preparation) is 'success'.

A — '실패' (failure) is the opposite of the desired outcome implied by '끝내고 싶습니다'.

B — '성공' (success) fits perfectly. Everyone wants to finish a task successfully, especially an important one for a company.

C — '시작' (start) is about the beginning, not the desired end result or outcome of finishing a task.

D — '걱정' (worry) is an emotion, not an outcome for finishing a task.

정답: A. 성장

How to solve: This sentence talks about the continuous action or state of a company. Companies aim to 'grow' or 'develop' continuously, which is a key aspect of business and often a precursor to an IPO.

A — '성장' (grow/develop) is the most appropriate word for a company's continuous progress and a key aspect of its journey towards and beyond an IPO.

B — '쉬다' (rest) is not a goal for a company's continuous operation; companies operate continuously.

C — '먹다' (eat) is an action for living beings, not a company's continuous state or goal.

D — '자다' (sleep) is also an action for living beings, not relevant to a company's continuous operation.

정답: B. 발표

How to solve: The sentence implies preparing for something 'important'. An IPO involves significant 'announcements' to the public and investors, requiring thorough preparation. Therefore, '발표' (announcement) is the best fit.

A — '선물' (gift) is usually a personal item, not something a company 'prepares for' as a major 'important' event in this context.

B — '발표' (announcement) fits well. Companies prepare for important announcements, especially regarding major events like an IPO or new business strategies.

C — '전화' (phone call) is a casual form of communication, not typically something you 'prepare well' for as a major 'important' event for a company's public image.

D — '약속' (appointment) can be important but less so than a public 'announcement' for a company in the context of major public events.
