TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [Vocabulary (Blank-filling)] 1–5 (1/15/2026) – bridgerton season 4

정답: B. 귀족

How to solve: The sentence describes the social setting of London in Bridgerton Season 4. Bridgerton is known for its focus on the upper class and aristocracy during the Regency era. Therefore, the word that best describes this society is '귀족' (noble/aristocracy).

A — 일반 (common/general) refers to ordinary people, which does not fit the high society context of Bridgerton.

B — 귀족 (noble/aristocracy) correctly describes the social class that forms the main background of the Bridgerton series.

C — 상인 (merchant) refers to a business class, which is not the primary focus of the Bridgerton's social setting.

D — 농민 (farmer) refers to the agricultural class, which is entirely outside the context of Bridgerton's London high society.

정답: C. 로맨스

How to solve: Bridgerton is famous for its love stories and the romantic relationships between its characters. The adjective '달콤한' (sweet) strongly suggests a romantic theme. Therefore, '로맨스' (romance) is the most fitting word to complete the sentence.

A — 논쟁 (dispute/argument) means a disagreement, which doesn't fit with 'sweet' and is not the central theme.

B — 모험 (adventure) means an exciting experience, but Bridgerton's main focus is on social drama and love, not physical adventure.

C — 로맨스 (romance) is the correct answer, as the show is primarily known for its romantic storylines and relationships.

D — 경쟁 (competition) refers to rivalry, which exists in high society but is not the primary sweet element the show 'showcases' each season.

정답: C. 비밀

How to solve: Lady Whistledown is a notorious figure in Bridgerton who publishes scandalous gossips and hidden truths about high society. She is known for revealing information that characters try to keep hidden. Thus, '비밀' (secret) is the most appropriate word to describe what she knows.

A — 사실 (fact) is too general; while she reports facts, her unique role is uncovering hidden ones.

B — 규칙 (rule) refers to regulations, which she might observe but her primary content is not about rules.

C — 비밀 (secret) accurately describes the hidden information and scandals that Lady Whistledown consistently exposes.

D — 행사 (event) refers to social gatherings, which she reports on, but she delves deeper into the hidden aspects behind them rather than just the events themselves.

정답: C. 무도회

How to solve: Bridgerton's social season revolves around various opulent gatherings where young people are introduced and seek marriage partners. These events are specifically referred to as 'balls' or dance parties. '무도회' (ball/dance party) is the correct term for such an event.

A — 시장 (market) is a place for trade and commerce, not typically for finding a spouse in high society.

B — 도서관 (library) is a place for reading and study, not the primary venue for social matchmaking.

C — 무도회 (ball/dance party) is the central social event in Bridgerton where families like the Bridgertons seek suitable marriage prospects.

D — 학교 (school) is an educational institution. While characters are educated, finding a spouse typically happens during the social season at balls, not school.

정답: B. 소문

How to solve: Lady Whistledown's anonymous pamphlets are known for spreading gossip and unconfirmed stories throughout high society. The verb '퍼집니다' (spreads) also commonly accompanies '소문' (rumor). Therefore, '소문' is the best fit.

A — 뉴스 (news) implies official or verified information, while Whistledown's content is often sensational and speculative.

B — 소문 (rumor) perfectly describes the nature of the information spread by Lady Whistledown – often unconfirmed, scandalous, and rapidly circulating gossip.

C — 정보 (information) is too broad; 'rumor' specifies the type of information she disseminates.

D — 발표 (announcement) means a formal declaration, which is contrary to the secretive and gossipy nature of Whistledown's columns.
