TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [Vocabulary] 1–5 (2/17/2026) – aoc

정답: A. 회장

How to solve: To solve this problem, one must understand the context of "우리 모임" (our group/meeting) and "뽑았습니다" (chose, elected). Among the choices, "회장" (leader/president) is the most appropriate word for someone chosen to lead a group.

A — "회장" means president or leader of a group. It fits perfectly with the action of "뽑았습니다" (chosen/elected) for "우리 모임" (our group).

B — "학생" means student. While a student can be part of a group, "학생" itself doesn't imply being chosen to lead or take a specific role within the group in this context.

C — "의사" means doctor. This is unrelated to the context of choosing a leader for a group.

D — "배우" means actor. This is also unrelated to the context of choosing a leader for a group.

정답: C. 의견

How to solve: The sentence talks about speaking something "at the meeting" (회의에서) and "자신의" (one's own). The most logical thing to speak at a meeting is one's "opinion."

A — "주소" means address. You don't typically "speak" your address at a meeting in this context.

B — "전화번호" means phone number. Similarly, you don't usually "speak" your phone number in this context.

C — "의견" means opinion. It's common to state one's opinion at a meeting. This fits naturally with "말했습니다" (spoke).

D — "사진" means photo. You can't "speak" a photo.

정답: B. 노력

How to solve: The phrase "사회를 위해" (for society) suggests an action that benefits society. Among the choices, "노력" (effort) is the most suitable word to be "done" (했습니다) for society.

A — "음식" means food. While one can make food for society, "많은 음식을 했습니다" is grammatically possible but doesn't convey the same meaning of contribution as "노력" in this context.

B — "노력" means effort. "많은 노력을 했습니다" (made a lot of effort) is a very natural and common expression for contributing to something like society. This is the best fit.

C — "책" means book. "많은 책을 했습니다" doesn't make sense; one might "쓰다" (write) books, but not just "하다" (do).

D — "시간" means time. While one spends time, "많은 시간을 했습니다" is not a natural expression. One would say "많은 시간을 보냈습니다" (spent a lot of time) or "시간을 투자했습니다" (invested time).

정답: C. 대표

How to solve: The sentence describes someone's role in relation to "젊은 세대" (young generation). A "대표" (representative) is someone who acts or speaks for a group, which fits the context of being "of" the young generation.

A — "가수" means singer. While a singer can be popular among the young generation, "가수입니다" (is a singer) doesn't capture the essence of representing a generation.

B — "작가" means writer. Similar to "가수," being a writer doesn't inherently mean representing a generation in a general sense.

C — "대표" means representative. This word directly implies that the person speaks for or embodies the characteristics of the young generation, which aligns well with the context.

D — "요리사" means chef. This profession is unrelated to representing a generation in a social or political context.

정답: B. 생각

How to solve: The sentence indicates that a decision was made after "listening to everyone's ______." When making a decision, what is typically listened to is people's "생각" (thoughts/ideas/opinions).

A — "이름" means name. You don't "listen to" names to make a decision; you might call names or refer to them.

B — "생각" means thought, idea, or opinion. It's very common to "listen to everyone's thoughts/ideas" before making a decision. This is the most suitable choice.

C — "건물" means building. You cannot "listen to" a building.

D — "공책" means notebook. You cannot "listen to" a notebook.
