TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [vocabulary] 1–5 (9/28/2026) – baker mayfield injury

정답: A. 부상

How to solve: The sentence describes Baker Mayfield getting something serious during a game. The blank needs a word that fits the context of 'getting' something negative in a game, which is an 'injury'.

A — 부상 (busang) means 'injury'. This fits perfectly as athletes can get injured during a game.

B — 승리 (seungni) means 'victory'. This is the opposite of something negative an athlete might 'get' during a game.

C — 연습 (yeonseup) means 'practice'. While practice is related to sports, it doesn't fit the context of 'getting' something serious during a game.

D — 훈련 (hunnyeon) means 'training'. Similar to 'practice', it doesn't fit the context of 'getting' something serious during a game.

정답: B. 회복

How to solve: The sentence states that his ankle is in a certain state, making it difficult to participate in the next game. This implies a process after an injury, which is 'recovery'.

A — 연습 (yeonseup) means 'practice'. It doesn't make sense for an ankle to be 'in practice'.

B — 회복 (hoebok) means 'recovery'. An ankle being 'in recovery' (회복 중) is a common expression for healing from an injury, which explains why he can't play.

C — 시작 (sijak) means 'start' or 'beginning'. An ankle being 'in start' does not make sense in this context.

D — 결과 (gyeolgwa) means 'result'. An ankle being 'in result' does not make sense.

정답: B. 치료

How to solve: The sentence indicates Baker Mayfield is at the hospital and 'receiving' something. Given he has an injury, what one typically receives at a hospital for an injury is 'treatment'.

A — 식사 (siksa) means 'meal'. While people eat at hospitals, it's not the primary thing one 'receives' for an injury.

B — 치료 (chiryo) means 'treatment' or 'therapy'. This is what patients with injuries receive at a hospital.

C — 준비 (junbi) means 'preparation'. It doesn't fit the context of receiving something at a hospital for an injury.

D — 변화 (byeonhwa) means 'change'. It doesn't fit the context of receiving something at a hospital.

정답: B. 통증

How to solve: The sentence states he had an ankle injury and 'felt' something severe. An injury typically causes 'pain'.

A — 기쁨 (gippeum) means 'joy' or 'happiness'. This is a positive emotion and not something severe one feels due to an injury.

B — 통증 (tongjeung) means 'pain'. This is the most common and severe sensation associated with an injury.

C — 행복 (haengbok) means 'happiness'. Similar to '기쁨', it's a positive emotion and incorrect.

D — 걱정 (geokjeong) means 'worry'. While an injury can cause worry, it's not what one directly 'feels' due to the physical injury itself.

정답: B. 경기력

How to solve: Fans are worried about something 'declining' due to the injury. For an athlete, an injury most directly affects their ability to play, which is their 'game performance'.

A — 성적 (seongjeok) means 'grades' or 'results' (e.g., test scores). While it can refer to sports results, '경기력' is more specific to the *ability* to perform.

B — 경기력 (gyeonggiryeok) means 'game performance' or 'athletic ability'. An injury directly impacts an athlete's ability to perform in games, making this the best fit for something that would 'decline'.

C — 계획 (gyehoek) means 'plan'. A plan doesn't 'decline' in this context.

D — 소식 (sosik) means 'news'. News doesn't 'decline'.
