TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘] 1–5 (10/30/2025) – kings vs bulls

정답: A. 경기

How to solve: The sentence is about watching a '농구' (basketball) event between the Kings and the Bulls, and it was '재미있었어요' (fun). The most appropriate word to describe a sports event is '경기' (game/match).

A — '경기' means 'game' or 'match'. A basketball game ('농구 경기') is the correct expression.

B — '공부' means 'study'. It doesn't fit the context of watching a basketball event.

C — '쇼핑' means 'shopping'. It is unrelated to a sports event.

D — '요리' means 'cooking'. It is also unrelated to the context.

정답: C. 선수

How to solve: The sentence describes someone on the '킹스 팀' (Kings team) who is good at '슛' (shooting). The correct term for a person who plays sports on a team is '선수' (player/athlete).

A — '의사' means 'doctor'. A doctor is a medical professional, not a sports player.

B — '가수' means 'singer'. A singer performs songs.

C — '선수' means 'player' or 'athlete'. This is the correct word for a member of a sports team.

D — '학생' means 'student'. While a student can be an athlete, '선수' is the more specific and appropriate word.

정답: A. 이겼어요

How to solve: The sentence gives the score: '불스가 100대 98로' (Bulls 100 to 98). Since the Bulls have a higher score, they won the game. The Korean verb for 'to win' is '이기다'. The past tense form is '이겼어요'.

A — '이겼어요' is the past tense of '이기다' (to win). This is correct because the Bulls had the higher score.

B — '졌어요' is the past tense of '지다' (to lose). This would be incorrect for the Bulls, who had the higher score.

C — '샀어요' means 'bought'. This is irrelevant to a game's outcome.

D — '읽었어요' means 'read'. This is also irrelevant.

정답: B. 응원했어요

How to solve: The first part of the sentence says '저는 킹스 팀을 가장 좋아해서' (Because I like the Kings team the most). The natural action for a fan who likes a team is to cheer for them. The word for 'to cheer' is '응원하다', and its past tense is '응원했어요'.

A — '청소했어요' means 'cleaned'. This does not fit the context of supporting a sports team.

B — '응원했어요' means 'cheered for'. This is the correct action for a fan.

C — '전화했어요' means 'made a phone call'. This is not the primary way to support a team during a game.

D — '도착했어요' means 'arrived'. This verb doesn't describe an action of support.

정답: C. 점수

How to solve: The question is asking about the result of the Kings vs. Bulls game ('경기'). In a sports context, people often ask about the score. The Korean word for 'score' is '점수'.

A — '날씨' means 'weather'. This is not related to the result of a game.

B — '시간' means 'time'. While you could ask about the game's time, '점수' (score) is a more common question about a completed game.

C — '점수' means 'score'. Asking 'What is the score?' ('점수가 어떻게 돼요?') is a very common and natural question.

D — '가격' means 'price'. This would refer to the ticket price, not the outcome of the game.
