TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘] 1–5 (10/2/2026) – pokemon 30th anniversary

정답: A. 기념하는

How to solve: The sentence describes a special event being held for the 30th anniversary of Pokemon's birth. The verb '기념하다' (to commemorate, to celebrate) is the most appropriate word to describe the purpose of an anniversary event.

A — '기념하는' means 'commemorating' or 'celebrating'. It fits perfectly with the context of an anniversary event.

B — '준비하는' means 'preparing'. While events are prepared, the primary purpose of an anniversary event is to commemorate, not just to prepare for something else.

C — '판매하는' means 'selling'. This word is irrelevant to the purpose of celebrating an anniversary.

D — '시작하는' means 'starting'. While an event starts, the blank describes the nature of the anniversary event, which is to commemorate, not just to start.

정답: B. 인기

How to solve: The sentence states that Pokemon has achieved something significant worldwide over 30 years. '인기' (popularity) is the most suitable word to describe what a well-loved franchise like Pokemon gains globally over a long period.

A — '기술' means 'technology' or 'skill'. Pokemon has technology, but 'gaining technology' globally is not the primary context here.

B — '인기' means 'popularity'. This is the correct word as Pokemon is famous and loved by many people around the world.

C — '시간' means 'time'. While Pokemon exists over time, 'gaining time' doesn't make sense in this context.

D — '경험' means 'experience'. While players gain experience, the franchise itself gains popularity, not 'experience' in this sense.

정답: B. 출시

How to solve: The sentence refers to the Pokemon game being introduced for the first time 30 years ago. '출시되다' (to be released/launched) is the appropriate verb for a product, especially a game, entering the market.

A — '제작되다' means 'to be produced' or 'to be manufactured'. While games are produced, '출시' specifically refers to the act of making it available to the public.

B — '출시되다' means 'to be released' or 'to be launched'. This is the most suitable word for a game becoming available for the first time.

C — '보관되다' means 'to be stored'. This word is not related to the initial availability of a game.

D — '개선되다' means 'to be improved'. While games can be improved, this refers to a later stage, not the initial introduction.

정답: C. 추억

How to solve: The sentence states that many people spent something with Pokemon. Given that Pokemon has been around for 30 years and is often associated with childhood, '추억' (memories) is the most fitting noun for what people 'spend' or create with something beloved over a long period.

A — '어른' means 'adult'. People don't 'spend' adults with Pokemon.

B — '미래' means 'future'. While people look to the future, they don't 'spend' the future with something in this context.

C — '추억' means 'memories'. People create and 'spend' time building memories with things they enjoy, like Pokemon.

D — '계획' means 'plan'. People make plans, but they don't 'spend' plans with Pokemon.

정답: B. 행사

How to solve: The sentence indicates that various 'something' will be held for the 30th anniversary. '행사' (events) is the most natural word to describe what is 'held' (열리다) for a celebration like an anniversary.

A — '음식' means 'food'. While food might be part of an event, 'food' itself is not 'held' in this context.

B — '행사' means 'event' or 'function'. This is the correct word as various events are typically organized for anniversaries.

C — '장소' means 'place'. Places are where things are held, but not what is 'held' itself.

D — '방법' means 'method' or 'way'. Methods are not 'held' in this context.
