TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [Vocabulary] 1–5 (12/9/2025) – fa cup draw

정답: A. 추첨

How to solve: The sentence indicates that the 'results' of something related to the FA Cup have been announced. In the context of a 'draw' for a sports tournament, '추첨' (draw/lottery) is the correct word to describe the process of determining fixtures.

A — 추첨 (chuchum) means 'draw' or 'lottery', which is appropriate for determining match-ups in a cup competition.

B — 경기 (gyeonggi) means 'game' or 'match'. While related, it doesn't fit with '결과가 발표되었습니다' (results announced) in the context of the initial draw.

C — 시간 (sigan) means 'time'. This does not fit the context of the results of a draw.

D — 장소 (jangso) means 'place' or 'venue'. This does not fit the context of the results of a draw.

정답: C. 팀

How to solve: The sentence talks about 'many ______' participating in the FA Cup. The FA Cup is a competition between groups of players, which are called 'teams'. Therefore, '팀' is the most suitable word.

A — 선수 (seonsu) means 'player'. While players participate, the sentence implies a collective noun for competing entities.

B — 경기장 (gyeonggijang) means 'stadium' or 'arena'. A stadium does not 'participate' in a cup.

C — 팀 (tim) means 'team'. This is the correct word for the collective units that compete in a sports tournament.

D — 심판 (simpan) means 'referee'. Referees officiate but do not 'participate' as competitors in the cup.

정답: C. 대진표

How to solve: The sentence suggests checking something to 'find out our team's opponent'. In sports, the document that shows which teams will play against each other after a draw is called a 'fixture list' or 'draw sheet'. The Korean word for this is '대진표'.

A — 뉴스 (nyuseu) means 'news'. While news might report the draw, it's not the specific thing one checks to see opponents.

B — 날씨 (nalssi) means 'weather'. This is irrelevant to finding out opponents.

C — 대진표 (daejinpyo) means 'fixture list' or 'draw sheet', which lists the match-ups in a tournament. This is exactly what one would check to find out opponents.

D — 음식 (eumsik) means 'food'. This is irrelevant to finding out opponents.

정답: B. 진행될

How to solve: The sentence describes the FA Cup draw happening at a specific time. '진행되다' means 'to be conducted' or 'to proceed', which is the natural verb to use for an event taking place. The future tense '진행될 예정입니다' (is scheduled to be conducted) fits perfectly.

A — 먹을 (meogeul) is the future modifier form of '먹다' (to eat). This is incorrect.

B — 진행될 (jinhaengdoel) is the future modifier form of '진행되다' (to be conducted/to proceed). This correctly describes an event taking place.

C — 잘 (jal) means 'well'. This is an adverb and doesn't fit grammatically or semantically in this blank.

D — 갈 (gal) is the future modifier form of '가다' (to go). An event doesn't 'go' at a certain time in this context.

정답: C. 상대

How to solve: The sentence states that as a result of the draw, our team will 'meet' someone 'very strong'. In the context of a sports competition, a 'strong' entity that a team meets is an 'opponent'. '상대' means 'opponent' or 'rival'.

A — 친구 (chingu) means 'friend'. While teams can be friendly, in a competition, they face opponents.

B — 가족 (gajok) means 'family'. This is irrelevant to a sports draw.

C — 상대 (sangdae) means 'opponent' or 'rival'. This is the correct term for a team faced in a competition.

D — 선생님 (seonsaengnim) means 'teacher'. This is irrelevant to a sports draw.
