TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘 (Vocabulary)] 1–5 (11/12/2025) – ace bailey

정답: A. 선수

How to solve: The sentence mentions '팀' (team) and '에이스' (ace), which means the best player. The blank should be filled with a word for a person who belongs to a team. '선수' (player/athlete) is the most appropriate word.

A — '선수' means player or athlete. An 'ace' is the best player on a team, so this is the correct answer.

B — '선생님' means teacher. A teacher is not usually described as an 'ace' of a 'team' in this context.

C — '의사' means doctor. A doctor is not a member of a sports team.

D — '요리사' means chef. A chef is not a member of a sports team.

정답: A. 있어요

How to solve: The question asks '어디에' (where at?), which requires a verb related to existence or location. The verb '있어요' means 'to be at (a location)'.

A — '있어요' means 'is/are at'. It answers the question 'where'. This is the correct choice.

B — '먹어요' means 'eats'. This verb does not fit with a question about location.

C — '읽어요' means 'reads'. This verb does not fit with a question about location.

D — '써요' means 'writes' or 'uses'. This verb does not fit with a question about location.

정답: B. 의자

How to solve: The second sentence, '여기에 앉으세요,' means 'Please sit here.' This indicates that the object in the blank is something one can sit on. Among the choices, '의자' (chair) is the only item you can sit on.

A — '에이스' means ace. You cannot sit on an 'ace'.

B — '의자' means chair. You sit on a chair. This is the correct answer.

C — '오이' means cucumber. You do not sit on a cucumber.

D — '아이' means child. You do not sit on a child.

정답: C. 운동선수

How to solve: The name 'Ace' is strongly associated with being the best player on a team. Therefore, the most suitable profession among the choices is '운동선수' (athlete).

A — '학생' means student. While possible, it's not the primary identity associated with the name 'Ace'.

B — '회사원' means office worker. This is an unlikely profession for someone called 'Ace'.

C — '운동선수' means athlete. This fits perfectly with the term 'Ace'. This is the correct answer.

D — '가수' means singer. This is less likely than an athlete.

정답: A. 멋있어요

How to solve: The sentence is describing an 'ace player' ('에이스 선수'). This implies a positive quality. '멋있어요' means 'is cool' or 'is awesome', which is a common compliment for a skilled athlete.

A — '멋있어요' (is cool/awesome) is a positive adjective used to praise someone's skill or appearance. This is a suitable description for an ace player.

B — '시끄러워요' (is noisy) is generally a negative description and doesn't fit the context.

C — '써요' (is bitter) is an adjective for taste and cannot be used to describe a person.

D — '작아요' (is small) is a neutral physical description, but it doesn't convey the admiration associated with being an 'ace'.
