TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘] 1–5 (2/9/2026) – casey dawson

정답: C. 많이

How to solve: The blank requires an adverb that describes the verb '공부합니다' (studies). '예쁜' (pretty), '착한' (kind), and '조용한' (quiet) are adjectives and cannot directly modify a verb. '많이' (a lot) is an adverb that indicates quantity or degree, fitting the context of 'studies a lot'.

A — '예쁜' is an adjective meaning 'pretty'. It cannot modify the verb '공부합니다'.

B — '착한' is an adjective meaning 'kind'. It cannot modify the verb '공부합니다'.

C — '많이' is an adverb meaning 'a lot' or 'much'. It correctly describes how someone studies.

D — '조용한' is an adjective meaning 'quiet'. It cannot modify the verb '공부합니다'.

정답: B. 버스로

How to solve: The sentence describes how Casey Dawson goes to school. The blank needs a word or phrase indicating the method of transportation. '버스로' means 'by bus', which is a common way to travel. The other options describe feelings or states, which do not fit the context of 'how' one goes to school.

A — '기쁩니다' means 'is happy'. This describes a feeling, not a mode of transport.

B — '버스로' means 'by bus'. This accurately describes the means of going to school.

C — '즐겁습니다' means 'is joyful'. This describes a feeling, not a mode of transport.

D — '바쁩니다' means 'is busy'. This describes a state, not a mode of transport.

정답: A. 재미있게

How to solve: The blank requires an adverb that describes how Casey Dawson learns Korean. '재미있게' (interestingly/with fun) is a natural and common adverb to describe learning a language, implying enjoyment. While other adverbs might be grammatically possible, '재미있게' fits the context of learning a subject for the first time, implying enjoyment.

A — '재미있게' means 'interestingly' or 'with fun'. It's a very common and natural way to describe learning something enjoyable.

B — '빠르게' means 'quickly'. While one can learn quickly, '재미있게' is a more common expression when talking about the manner of learning a language at a basic level.

C — '높게' means 'highly'. This adverb is generally used for height or level, not typically for the manner of learning a language.

D — '늦게' means 'late'. This describes the timing, not the manner, of learning.

정답: C. 편안하게

How to solve: The sentence describes how Casey Dawson rests ('쉽니다') at home on the weekend. The blank needs an adverb to describe the manner of resting. '편안하게' (comfortably) perfectly fits this context. The other options are nouns with object particles and do not fit with the verb '쉬다' (to rest).

A — '영화를' means 'a movie (as an object)'. This is an object, not an adverb describing '쉬다'.

B — '숙제를' means 'homework (as an object)'. This is an object, not an adverb describing '쉬다'.

C — '편안하게' means 'comfortably'. This adverb accurately describes the manner of resting.

D — '책을' means 'a book (as an object)'. This is an object, not an adverb describing '쉬다'.

정답: B. 자주

How to solve: The sentence states that Casey Dawson drinks coffee 'very _______.'. The blank needs an adverb to describe the frequency or manner of drinking. '자주' (often) indicates that they drink coffee frequently, which is a common context for 'very' when referring to habits. '빨리' (quickly) is also possible, but '자주' often goes well with '아주' to emphasize a habit.

A — '빨리' means 'quickly'. While one can drink quickly, '자주' is a more common descriptor for 'drinking coffee' as a habit, especially with '아주'.

B — '자주' means 'often'. This adverb indicates frequency and fits well with '아주' to describe a regular habit of drinking coffee.

C — '길게' means 'long' (in terms of time or length). It doesn't fit the context of drinking coffee.

D — '낮게' means 'lowly'. It doesn't fit the context of drinking coffee.
