TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [vocabulary] 1–5 (2/24/2026) – travel ban ri

정답: A. 금지

How to solve: The sentence states that overseas travel became difficult due to COVID-19. We need a word that means 'prohibited' or 'banned'. '금지' (geumji) means prohibition or ban.

A — 금지 (geumji) means prohibition or ban. This fits the context of travel being disallowed due to a pandemic.

B — 허락 (heorak) means permission or approval. This is the opposite of the intended meaning.

C — 자유 (jayu) means freedom. This is the opposite of the intended meaning.

D — 가능 (ganeung) means possible or capable. This is the opposite of the intended meaning.

정답: B. 제한

How to solve: The sentence indicates that the government took action regarding travel to specific countries, implying it became less free or more difficult. '제한' (jehan) means restriction.

A — 확대 (hwakdae) means expansion or enlargement. This is the opposite of restricting travel.

B — 제한 (jehan) means restriction or limitation. This correctly describes the government's action to limit travel.

C — 추천 (chucheon) means recommendation. This is not related to a travel ban or restriction.

D — 시작 (sijak) means start or beginning. This doesn't fit the context of managing travel to a country.

정답: C. 입국

How to solve: The sentence describes difficulties for foreigners coming into Korea. '입국' (ipguk) refers to entering a country.

A — 출국 (chulguk) means departure from a country. This is the opposite of entering.

B — 이사 (isa) means moving house. This is not the specific act of entering a country.

C — 입국 (ipguk) means entry into a country. This accurately describes foreigners coming into Korea.

D — 여행 (yeohaeng) means travel. While related, '입국' is the more precise term for crossing the border into a country.

정답: C. 조치

How to solve: The sentence says the government strengthened something related to travel. '조치' (jochi) means a measure or action, which can be strengthened.

A — 안내 (annae) means guidance or information. This is not something that is 'strengthened' in the context of government control.

B — 계획 (gyehoek) means plan. While plans can be strengthened, '조치' is a more common and direct word for governmental actions or regulations.

C — 조치 (jochi) means measure, action, or step. This is a common word used for government policies or regulations, which can be strengthened ('강화하다').

D — 예약 (yeyak) means reservation. This is irrelevant to government actions on travel bans.

정답: C. 해제

How to solve: The sentence states that the travel ban (여행 금지) will be 'something-ed' next month, implying a removal or easing. '해제' (haeje) means to lift or remove (a ban/restriction).

A — 강화 (ganghwa) means to strengthen or reinforce. This is the opposite of lifting a ban.

B — 유지 (yuji) means to maintain or keep. This implies the ban would continue, which contradicts '될 예정입니다' (will be…ed).

C — 해제 (haeje) means to lift, remove, or cancel (a restriction, ban). This fits the context of a travel ban being ended.

D — 변경 (byeongyeong) means to change or alter. While '해제' is a form of change, '변경' is too general and '해제' is the precise term for lifting a ban.
