TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘] 1–5 (11/9/2026) – elon musk spacex telecom acquisition

정답: A. 인수

How to solve: The sentence describes Elon Musk expanding his business through something related to 'telecom'. '인수' (acquisition) is the most appropriate word for expanding a business by taking over another company or sector.

A — Correct. '인수' means acquisition. '통신 인수' (telecom acquisition) perfectly fits the context of business expansion.

B — '개발' means development. While companies develop things, '통신 개발' doesn't fit the 'through which business is expanded' context as directly as acquisition.

C — '투자' means investment. One invests 'in' something, not typically 'through' '통신 투자' to expand a business in this structure. The phrasing would be different.

D — '연결' means connection. This word does not fit the context of business expansion in relation to telecom.

정답: C. 서비스

How to solve: The sentence states that SpaceX started something related to satellite internet globally. '서비스' (service) is the natural and common word to complete '위성 인터넷 서비스' (satellite internet service).

A — '회사' means company. '인터넷 회사' (internet company) is a noun, but '인터넷 회사를 시작했다' doesn't fit the verb '시작했습니다' as naturally here without a specific action towards the company itself.

B — '기술' means technology. While satellite internet involves technology, '인터넷 기술을 시작했다' (started internet technology) is not a common or natural phrase.

C — Correct. '서비스' means service. '위성 인터넷 서비스를 시작하다' (to start satellite internet service) is the correct and natural collocation.

D — '목표' means goal. '인터넷 목표를 시작했다' (started internet goal) makes no sense in this context.

정답: B. 발사

How to solve: The sentence describes the action of sending many satellites into space. '발사하다' (to launch) is the standard verb used for sending rockets or satellites into space.

A — '구매' means purchase. Satellites are purchased, but they are not 'purchased into space'.

B — Correct. '발사' means launch. '위성을 발사하다' (to launch a satellite) is the appropriate action for sending satellites into space.

C — '연결' means connect. Satellites are used to connect, but they are not 'connected into space' in this context of initial deployment.

D — '개발' means develop. Satellites are developed, but they are not 'developed into space'.

정답: C. 기술

How to solve: The sentence states Elon Musk invests a lot of money in something related to the future. He is well-known for investing in '미래 기술' (future technology).

A — '속도' means speed. '미래 속도' (future speed) does not make sense as a field for investment.

B — '목표' means goal. One invests to achieve goals, but not 'in future goals' as a category for investment.

C — Correct. '기술' means technology. '미래 기술' (future technology) is a common and fitting phrase for areas Elon Musk invests in.

D — '통신' means telecommunication. While he invests in telecom, '미래 통신' might be too specific without additional context, whereas '미래 기술' is a broader, more fitting term for general investment areas.

정답: A. 제공

How to solve: The sentence describes SpaceX's plan to make internet available everywhere on Earth. '제공하다' (to provide) is the appropriate verb for making a service like internet available to users.

A — Correct. '제공' means provide. '인터넷을 제공하다' (to provide internet) is the standard phrase for offering internet service.

B — '인수' means acquisition. Companies don't 'acquire' internet to users; they provide it.

C — '개발' means develop. Companies develop internet technology, but they don't 'develop' internet to users in the sense of making it available.

D — '사용' means use. Users 'use' the internet, but a company 'provides' it.
