TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘] 1–5 (1/8/2026) – max alleyne

정답: A. 열심히

How to solve: The sentence describes how Max Alleyne studies Korean. '열심히' (diligently) is the most natural adverb to describe studying effectively, indicating effort and dedication. The other choices describe different manners of action.

A — '열심히' means diligently or hard. It fits well with studying a language, implying active effort.

B — '조용히' means quietly. While one might study quietly, '열심히' describes the effort more directly.

C — '천천히' means slowly. It usually refers to the speed of an action, not the level of effort or diligence.

D — '빨리' means quickly. It refers to speed and might imply rushing, which is not always positive for learning.

정답: C. 공원

How to solve: The sentence states Max Alleyne meets friends on the weekend. '공원' (park) is a common and suitable place to meet friends for leisure and social activities. The other options are less typical for casual friend meetings.

A — '도서관' is a library, primarily for studying or reading quietly, making it less ideal for meeting friends for conversation.

B — '백화점' is a department store. While possible to meet there, '공원' is a more general and common outdoor place for casual friend meetings on weekends.

C — '공원' is a park. It is a very common and suitable place for people to meet friends, relax, or engage in activities on weekends.

D — '병원' is a hospital, which is for medical purposes and not for social gatherings.

정답: B. 커요

How to solve: The sentence describes Max Alleyne's height ('키가'). We need an adjective that describes height. '커요' (is tall) and '작아요' (is short) are the only options related to physical stature. '커요' is a common and neutral way to describe someone's height.

A — '작아요' means is short. It describes height, but without specific context, either short or tall could fit.

B — '커요' means is tall or is big. In the context of '키가' (height), it means is tall, which is a common description for a person.

C — '좋아요' means is good or likes. It describes quality or preference, not height.

D — '나빠요' means is bad or dislikes. It describes quality or preference, not height.

정답: A. 합니다

How to solve: The sentence states Max Alleyne does something with homework ('숙제'). The verb '하다' (to do) is commonly used with '숙제' (homework) to form the phrase '숙제를 하다' (to do homework). Therefore, '합니다' (the formal form of '하다') is the correct verb.

A — '합니다' is the formal form of '하다' (to do). '숙제를 하다' means 'to do homework', which is the correct and natural phrase.

B — '먹습니다' is the formal form of '먹다' (to eat). You eat food, not homework.

C — '마십니다' is the formal form of '마시다' (to drink). You drink beverages, not homework.

D — '잡니다' is the formal form of '자다' (to sleep). You sleep, not homework.

정답: C. 매일

How to solve: The sentence describes the frequency of Max Alleyne watching Korean dramas. '매일' (every day) is an adverb indicating regular, daily frequency and fits naturally in this context. The other options refer to specific points in time or parts of the day, not ongoing frequency.

A — '어제' means yesterday. It refers to a specific past day, not a recurring frequency.

B — '내일' means tomorrow. It refers to a specific future day, not a recurring frequency.

C — '매일' means every day. It correctly indicates that the action of watching Korean dramas happens daily.

D — '아침' means morning. While it's a part of a day, it doesn't indicate a daily recurrence on its own in this sentence structure; it just specifies the time of day.
