TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [Vocabulary] 1–5 (11/14/2026) – rocky run

정답: B. 바위

How to solve: The sentence describes running on a rough surface and falling. Among the choices, '바위' (rock) is a rough surface one might run on and fall. '나무' (tree), '하늘' (sky), and '풀' (grass) do not fit the context of a rough surface that causes one to fall.

A — '나무' means tree. Running on a tree is not a common scenario that leads to falling in this context.

B — '바위' means rock. Running on a rocky surface is rough and can easily cause one to fall. This fits the context well.

C — '하늘' means sky. Running on the sky is not possible.

D — '풀' means grass. While one can run on grass, '험한' (rough) implies something harder and more uneven than typical grass.

정답: B. 길

How to solve: The sentence states that there are many stones and it's hard to walk. '길' (path/road) is the most appropriate place to walk that can be described as having many stones and being difficult to traverse.

A — '공원' means park. While a park can have stones, '길' specifically refers to the walking path itself.

B — '길' means path or road. This is the most natural fit for a place where one walks and encounters many stones, making it hard to walk.

C — '방' means room. A room usually does not have many stones making it hard to walk.

D — '건물' means building. A building typically refers to a structure, not a walking surface with many stones.

정답: C. 달리

How to solve: The sentence talks about an action performed every morning for health. '달리다' (to run) is a common activity done for health, and its stem '달리-' fits the grammatical structure '달립니다'.

A — '읽-' (from 읽다, to read). Reading for health in the morning is not as common an exercise as running.

B — '먹-' (from 먹다, to eat). Eating for health is important, but '매일 아침 먹습니다' doesn't fit the context of an exercise.

C — '달리-' (from 달리다, to run). Running every morning is a very common activity for health. This fits perfectly.

D — '보-' (from 보다, to see/watch). Watching something every morning for health doesn't make sense in this context.

정답: D. 힘들

How to solve: The sentence states that one must go carefully. This implies that the path is difficult or dangerous. '힘들다' (to be difficult/hard) is the correct word here, used in its adjectival form '힘든'.

A — '쉽-' (from 쉽다, to be easy). If the path were easy, there would be no need to go carefully.

B — '예쁘-' (from 예쁘다, to be pretty). A pretty path doesn't inherently require careful walking.

C — '깨끗-' (from 깨끗하다, to be clean). A clean path doesn't imply the need for careful walking.

D — '힘들-' (from 힘들다, to be difficult/hard). A difficult path necessitates careful walking, making '힘든 길' (difficult path) the correct choice.

정답: C. 조심

How to solve: In a place with many rocks, it is dangerous, so one must be careful. '조심하다' (to be careful) is the most suitable action in such an environment.

A — '식사' means meal. Having a meal is not the primary action required in a rocky place for safety.

B — '공부' means study. Studying is not related to navigating a rocky area safely.

C — '조심' means carefulness. '조심하다' (to be careful) is the appropriate action when dealing with potentially dangerous or difficult terrain like a rocky area. This fits perfectly.

D — '여행' means travel. While one might travel through a rocky place, '여행하다' is not the specific action required for safety in the context of 'many rocks'.
