TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘] 1–5 (2/17/2026) – ireland vs zimbabwe

정답: A. 경기

How to solve: The sentence discusses football between Ireland and Zimbabwe. The blank requires a word that means 'match' or 'game' to complete the phrase 'football match'.

A — 경기 (match, game): This is the correct word as it refers to a sports event.

B — 음식 (food): This is irrelevant to a football event.

C — 날씨 (weather): This is irrelevant to the subject of a football match starting.

D — 음악 (music): This is irrelevant to a football event.

정답: C. 응원합니다

How to solve: The sentence describes fans at a stadium and their action towards their team. The blank needs a verb that means 'to cheer for' or 'to support' their team.

A — 듣습니다 (listens): While fans might listen to commentary, this verb doesn't describe their direct action of support towards the team.

B — 먹습니다 (eats): This is irrelevant to the fans' action towards their team during a game.

C — 응원합니다 (cheers for, supports): This is the most appropriate verb describing fans showing support for their team.

D — 봅니다 (watches): While fans watch the game, '응원합니다' more specifically captures the act of supporting their team.

정답: C. 선수

How to solve: The sentence states that people from Zimbabwe are 'practicing hard'. This context suggests they are involved in a sport or performance. The blank needs a word for someone who plays a sport.

A — 학생 (student): Students might practice, but '선수' is more specific in a sports context.

B — 가수 (singer): Singers practice, but the context of 'Zimbabwe vs Ireland' typically implies sports.

C — 선수 (player, athlete): This is the correct word for someone who plays a sport and practices hard.

D — 의사 (doctor): Doctors do not 'practice' in this context; they 'work' or 'treat patients'.

정답: B. 승리

How to solve: The sentence talks about the Ireland team's outcome in 'this game'. The blank, combined with '했습니다', needs a noun that describes the result of a match for a team. '승리' (victory) is a common and fitting outcome.

A — 패배 (defeat): While '패배했습니다' (was defeated) is grammatically possible, '승리' is also a direct result. Without further context implying a loss, '승리' is a common and positive outcome.

B — 승리 (victory): '승리했습니다' means 'won' or 'achieved victory', which is a very common and appropriate outcome for a team in a game. This is the correct answer.

C — 방문 (visit): '방문했습니다' means 'visited', which is not an outcome of a game.

D — 준비 (preparation): '준비했습니다' means 'prepared', which happens before a game, not as an outcome.

정답: D. 국가

How to solve: The sentence states that 'Ireland' and 'Zimbabwe' are 'different ______'. The blank requires a word that correctly identifies what Ireland and Zimbabwe are.

A — 도시 (city): Ireland and Zimbabwe are countries, not cities.

B — 학교 (school): This is irrelevant to the identity of Ireland and Zimbabwe.

C — 회사 (company): This is irrelevant to the identity of Ireland and Zimbabwe.

D — 국가 (country, nation): This is the correct word as both Ireland and Zimbabwe are sovereign countries.
