TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [Vocabulary] 1–5 (9/24/2026) – yechiel leiter

정답: D. 해요

How to solve: The question asks what Yechiel Leiter 'does'. '무엇을' (what) is followed by a verb. Among the choices, '해요' (does) is the most general verb that fits the context of 'doing something'.

A — '읽어요' means 'reads'. While possible, '해요' is a more general fit for '무엇을'.

B — '먹어요' means 'eats'. This is too specific for the general question.

C — '마셔요' means 'drinks'. This is too specific for the general question.

D — '해요' means 'does'. This is a general verb that fits the question 'What does Mr. Yechiel Leiter do?'

정답: A. 학교

How to solve: The sentence indicates that Yechiel Leiter 'goes to' a place ('에 가요'). Among the choices, only '학교' (school) is a place. The other options are objects.

A — '학교' means 'school'. This is a place, so it fits '학교에 가요' (goes to school).

B — '책' means 'book'. This is an object, not a place someone goes to.

C — '연필' means 'pencil'. This is an object, not a place someone goes to.

D — '물' means 'water'. This is a substance, not a place someone goes to.

정답: B. 좋아요

How to solve: The sentence needs an adjective to describe Yechiel Leiter. '좋아요' (is good/nice) is a common and appropriate adjective to describe a person in a general positive way. '작아요' (is small) is also an adjective, but '좋아요' is a more general positive description.

A — '먹어요' means 'eats', which is a verb and doesn't fit as a simple description of a person's quality.

B — '좋아요' means 'is good' or 'is nice'. This is an appropriate adjective to describe a person.

C — '작아요' means 'is small'. While an adjective, it might not be the most universally fitting description without more context.

D — '읽어요' means 'reads', which is a verb and doesn't fit as a simple description of a person's quality.

정답: A. 의자

How to solve: The sentence structure '____이/가 있어요' means 'has ____'. Therefore, a noun (object) is needed to fill the blank. '의자' (chair) is a common noun that can be possessed.

A — '의자' means 'chair'. This is a noun, fitting the 'N이/가 있어요' structure.

B — '가요' means 'goes', which is a verb. It cannot follow '이/가 있어요'.

C — '커요' means 'is big', which is an adjective. It cannot follow '이/가 있어요'.

D — '앉아요' means 'sits', which is a verb. It cannot follow '이/가 있어요'.

정답: B. 사람

How to solve: The sentence structure '____이에요/예요' is used to state what someone or something 'is'. Since Yechiel Leiter is a person, '사람' (person) is the most appropriate noun to complete the sentence, meaning 'Mr. Yechiel Leiter is a person'.

A — '책' means 'book'. Yechiel Leiter is not a book.

B — '사람' means 'person'. This is the correct word to describe Yechiel Leiter as a human being.

C — '학교' means 'school'. Yechiel Leiter is not a school.
