TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘 – 빈칸 채우기] 1–5 (10/18/2026) – college football rankings

정답: B. 순위

How to solve: The sentence talks about something related to college football that is announced weekly. Among the choices, "순위" (ranking) fits best in the context of "college football rankings."

A — 선수 (player) – Players are part of the team, but "players are announced weekly" doesn't make sense in this context.

B — 순위 (ranking) – College football rankings are indeed announced regularly, often weekly. This fits perfectly.

C — 점수 (score) – Scores are for individual games, not something announced weekly for the overall context.

D — 시즌 (season) – A season is a period of time, not something announced weekly.

정답: C. 경기

How to solve: The sentence indicates an event related to football happening this weekend. "경기" (game/match) is the most appropriate word for a football event.

A — 팀 (team) – A team is a group of players, not something "there is" this weekend in this structure.

B — 승리 (victory) – Victory is the outcome, not the event itself.

C — 경기 (game/match) – This is the direct word for a sports match, fitting the context perfectly.

D — 대학 (university/college) – A university is a place or institution, not an event.

정답: C. 팀

How to solve: The sentence describes someone cheering for something related to football. People typically cheer for a "team."

A — 경기 (game/match) – One cheers during a game, but "cheering for a game" is less natural than "cheering for a team."

B — 시즌 (season) – A season is a period, not something one cheers for.

C — 팀 (team) – This is the most natural object for "응원하다" (to cheer for).

D — 점수 (score) – One cheers for a good score, but "cheering for a score" is not common usage compared to "cheering for a team."

정답: C. 승리

How to solve: The sentence explains that "something" from last week caused the team's ranking to go up. A "victory" would cause a ranking to rise.

A — 패배 (defeat) – A defeat would cause the ranking to go down, not up.

B — 경기 (game/match) – A game itself doesn't make the ranking go up; the outcome of the game does.

C — 승리 (victory) – A victory is the direct reason for a team's ranking to improve. This fits the context.

D — 시즌 (season) – A season is a period; it doesn't directly cause a ranking to go up in this immediate context.

정답: D. 대학교

How to solve: The sentence describes a famous "football _______." In the context of "college football," the entity that is famous is often the "university" or its football program.

A — 시즌 (season) – While a season can be famous, it's less direct than a famous university in this general statement.

B — 점수 (score) – A score can be famous, but it's not "a famous football score" in this structure.

C — 선수 (player) – A player can be famous, but "football player" would be "풋볼 선수," and the sentence implies an institution or program.

D — 대학교 (university/college) – In "college football," the university itself is the entity that hosts the football program and can be famous for it. This fits well.
