TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘 (Vocabulary)] 1–5 (10/2/2026) – rocket launch today

정답: A. 발사

How to solve: The sentence describes news about a rocket. Among the choices, "발사" (launch) is the only word that correctly completes the phrase "로켓 발사" (rocket launch).

A — '발사' means launch. '로켓 발사' is a common phrase referring to a rocket launch, fitting the context perfectly.

B — '식사' means meal. This word is unrelated to rockets or news about them.

C — '약속' means appointment or promise. This word is unrelated to rockets.

D — '기차' means train. This word is unrelated to rockets.

정답: B. 성공

How to solve: The blank requires an adverb that describes how the rocket launch was carried out. '이루어졌습니다' implies completion. Given the typical desire for a launch to go well, '성공' (success) is the most fitting positive outcome.

A — '실패' means failure. If it were a failure, the sentence would likely say '실패했습니다' (it failed) or '실패로 끝났습니다' (it ended in failure). '실패 이루어졌습니다' is grammatically awkward and semantically incorrect.

B — '성공' means success. When combined with '-적으로', '성공적으로' means 'successfully', which perfectly fits the context of a successful launch and the verb '이루어졌습니다' (was accomplished).

C — '불행' means misfortune or unhappiness. This word describes a state or event of misfortune, not how an action was carried out.

D — '고장' means breakdown or malfunction. This refers to a mechanical failure, not the overall outcome of an event like a launch in this grammatical structure.

정답: C. 우주

How to solve: Rockets are vehicles designed to travel beyond Earth's atmosphere. Therefore, they fly into space.

A — '바다' means sea or ocean. Rockets do not fly into the sea.

B — '산' means mountain. Rockets do not fly into mountains.

C — '우주' means space or cosmos. This is the primary destination for rockets, making it the correct answer.

D — '도시' means city. Rockets do not fly into cities.

정답: D. 준비

How to solve: A rocket launch is a complex event that requires extensive planning and actions beforehand. "준비" (preparation) is the most logical requirement for such an event.

A — '노래' means song. This is irrelevant to the practical requirements of a rocket launch.

B — '숙제' means homework. This is irrelevant to the requirements of a rocket launch.

C — '선물' means gift. This is irrelevant to the practical requirements of a rocket launch.

D — '준비' means preparation. A rocket launch requires a lot of preparation, making this the correct choice.

정답: B. 오늘, 예정

How to solve: The sentence describes a scheduled event. The first blank needs a time word for '오후에 있을' (to be in the afternoon), and '오늘' (today) fits best with 'rocket launch today'. The second blank needs a word to describe its status as a planned future event, and '예정' (schedule/plan) is the most appropriate.

A — '어제' (yesterday) does not fit with '오후에 있을' (to be in the afternoon) as it refers to a past event. '계획' (plan) could be possible but '어제' makes the pair incorrect.

B — '오늘' (today) fits perfectly with '오늘 오후에 있을' (to be this afternoon). '예정' (scheduled) accurately describes a planned event like a rocket launch. This pair makes the sentence grammatically correct and semantically logical.

C — '내일' (tomorrow) could fit with a future event, but '사건' (event/incident) does not specifically convey a scheduled or planned event in the same way '예정' does. It sounds more like an unforeseen incident.

D — '매일' (every day) implies a daily occurrence, which is not typical for rocket launches. '준비' (preparation) is an action, not the status of the launch itself in this context.
