TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘] 1–5 (11/10/2026) – gabourey sidibe

정답: B. 데뷔

How to solve: The sentence describes Gabourey Sidibe's first appearance in the movie 'Precious'. The word that means a first public appearance, especially as a performer, is 'debut'.

A — '성공' means 'success', which is a result, not the action of first appearing in a movie.

B — '데뷔' means 'debut', which perfectly fits the context of starting a career in a movie.

C — '수상' means 'receiving an award', which is an achievement, not the initial act of appearing.

D — '감독' means 'director', which is a profession, not an action describing her first appearance.

정답: C. 배우

How to solve: The sentence states that she shows impressive acting in many movies. The profession that performs acting in movies is an 'actor' or 'actress'.

A — '작가' means 'writer', who writes, but does not typically act in movies.

B — '가수' means 'singer', who sings, but does not typically act in movies.

C — '배우' means 'actor' or 'actress', which correctly describes someone who shows impressive acting in movies.

D — '운동선수' means 'athlete', who plays sports, but does not typically act in movies.

정답: B. 역할

How to solve: The sentence talks about something she took on (맡았습니다) in a movie that was 'intense and memorable' (강렬하고 기억에 남는). In the context of an actor, this refers to a 'role'.

A — '날씨' means 'weather', which is irrelevant to acting in a movie.

B — '역할' means 'role', which is what an actor takes on in a movie. This fits the context perfectly.

C — '식사' means 'meal', which is irrelevant to an actor's performance.

D — '음악' means 'music', which is usually part of a movie's soundtrack, but not what an actor 'takes on' as their part.

정답: C. 인정

How to solve: The sentence states she received something 'high' (높은) from critics for her acting in 'Precious'. For a strong performance, critics typically give 'recognition' or 'acknowledgement'.

A — '비난' means 'criticism' or 'blame', which is the opposite of what one would receive for a highly-praised performance.

B — '선물' means 'gift', which is not typically what critics provide for acting performances.

C — '인정' means 'recognition' or 'acknowledgement', which aligns with critics praising her acting.

D — '부탁' means 'request' or 'favor', which is unrelated to a performance review.

정답: B. 출간

How to solve: The sentence mentions her autobiography and an action performed in 2017. Autobiographies are typically 'published'.

A — '촬영' means 'filming' or 'shooting', which applies to movies or photos, not books.

B — '출간' means 'publication' or 'to publish', which is the correct action for releasing a book like an autobiography.

C — '건설' means 'construction', which applies to buildings or structures.

D — '공연' means 'performance' or 'show', which applies to stage acts or concerts, not books.
