TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘 (Vocabulary)] 1–5 (1/24/2026) – weather atlanta

정답: C. 습하고

How to solve: The sentence describes Atlanta's summer as 'usually hot'. We need an adjective that typically accompanies 'hot' in a summer description, especially for Atlanta's climate. '습하다' (humid) is a common characteristic of Atlanta's hot summers.

A — '시원하고' means 'cool and'. This is the opposite of hot.

B — '건조하고' means 'dry and'. Atlanta summers are known to be humid, not dry.

C — '습하고' means 'humid and'. This accurately describes Atlanta's summer weather alongside being hot.

D — '맑고' means 'clear and/sunny and'. While it can be sunny, 'humid' is a more defining characteristic when describing the type of heat.

정답: B. 따뜻하다

How to solve: The sentence compares Atlanta's winter to Korea's winter. Korean winters are generally very cold. Atlanta winters are known to be milder. Therefore, we need a word that describes a milder or warmer winter. '따뜻하다' (warm/mild) fits this description.

A — '춥다' means 'cold'. Atlanta's winter is less cold than Korea's.

B — '따뜻하다' means 'warm' or 'mild'. This correctly describes Atlanta's winter as being milder compared to Korea's.

C — '습하다' means 'humid'. Humidity is not the primary characteristic used to compare winter temperatures.

D — '흐리다' means 'cloudy'. Cloudiness is a general weather state, not a specific comparison of winter temperature with Korea.

정답: C. 비가

How to solve: The sentence talks about something that 'comes a lot' (많이 온다) in Atlanta during summer. In summer, it is common for it to rain a lot, especially in the form of thunderstorms. '비' (rain) is the most appropriate word.

A — '눈이' means 'snow'. Snow does not come a lot in Atlanta during summer.

B — '바람이' means 'wind'. While there can be wind, the phrase '많이 온다' (comes a lot) is typically used for precipitation like rain or snow, or perhaps light/heat, not just wind.

C — '비가' means 'rain'. It rains frequently in Atlanta during summer, often with heavy showers or thunderstorms. This is the correct fit.

D — '햇볕이' means 'sunshine'. While there is sunshine, the phrase '많이 온다' is not typically used for sunshine in this context (e.g., you wouldn't say 'sunshine comes a lot' in the same way you say 'rain comes a lot').

정답: C. 포근한

How to solve: The sentence states that Atlanta's _______ weather is 'very good for a walk' (산책하기에 아주 좋다). We need an adjective that describes pleasant weather. '포근한' (mild/balmy/cozy) suggests comfortable and pleasant weather, which is ideal for walks.

A — '폭풍우' means 'stormy weather'. Stormy weather is not good for a walk.

B — '추운' means 'cold'. Cold weather is generally not described as 'very good for a walk' in a general positive sense.

C — '포근한' means 'mild, balmy, or cozy'. This describes pleasant, comfortable weather, which is ideal for a walk.

D — '건조한' means 'dry'. While dry weather can be good, '포근한' more directly conveys the comfort and pleasantness suitable for a walk.

정답: B. 기온

How to solve: The sentence asks 'What will _______ be tomorrow?' (내일 애틀랜타의 _______ 어떻게 될까요?). When asking about daily changes in weather, we often inquire about specific conditions like temperature, humidity, or precipitation. '기온' (temperature) is a very common element of daily weather forecasts.

A — '계절' means 'season'. Seasons do not change daily ('What season will it be tomorrow?' doesn't make sense).

B — '기온' means 'temperature'. Asking about tomorrow's temperature is a common question related to weather.

C — '습도' means 'humidity'. While one can ask about humidity, '기온' is a more fundamental and common element for a general weather inquiry.

D — '구름' means 'cloud'. One might ask about cloudiness, but 'What will the clouds be tomorrow?' is less natural than asking about temperature.
