TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘] 1–5 (2/27/2026) – allegiant

정답: A. 충성

How to solve: The sentence talks about a deep feeling towards a person that strengthens a relationship. 'Loyalty' (충성) fits this context perfectly. Other choices do not make sense in this context.

A — '충성' (loyalty, allegiance) means a strong and unwavering dedication or support, which logically strengthens a relationship. This is the correct answer.

B — '걱정' (worry) is a feeling of anxiety and would not strengthen a relationship in a positive way.

C — '선택' (choice) refers to the act of choosing and does not fit the context of a deep feeling that strengthens a bond.

D — '방법' (method, way) refers to a procedure or technique and is irrelevant to the context of a feeling towards a person.

정답: C. 따랐다

How to solve: The sentence implies that 'he' always respects or accepts the team's decisions. '따랐다' (followed, obeyed) has a similar meaning to adhering to decisions. '어겼다' (broke/violated) is the opposite, '변화시켰다' (changed) and '미뤘다' (postponed) are unrelated.

A — '어겼다' (broke, violated) means to go against or not follow, which is the opposite of supporting a team's decision.

B — '변화시켰다' (changed, transformed) means to make something different, which is not what's implied about 'following' a decision.

C — '따랐다' (followed, obeyed) means to act according to someone's instructions or a decision, fitting the context of allegiance to a team's choice. This is the correct answer.

D — '미뤘다' (postponed, delayed) means to put off until a later time, which is unrelated to the action of following a decision.

정답: B. 지지했다

How to solve: The sentence describes the action of citizens towards a new government policy. '지지했다' (supported) implies a positive response or allegiance to the policy. Other options like '부정했다' (denied), '취소했다' (canceled), or '제출했다' (submitted) do not fit the common context of how citizens react to policies to show support or agreement.

A — '부정했다' (denied, disproved) means to state that something is not true or to reject, which is the opposite of what's often implied by positive citizen interaction with policy.

B — '지지했다' (supported) means to show approval for or agreement with something, which is a common way for citizens to demonstrate their 'allegiance' or approval of a policy. This is the correct answer.

C — '취소했다' (canceled) means to call off or nullify, an action typically taken by an authority, not usually by citizens regarding a policy.

D — '제출했다' (submitted) means to hand in or present something, which is not the typical action for expressing support for a policy.

정답: C. 자유

How to solve: This question asks to identify the word that is different from the others in nature. '규칙' (rules), '의무' (duty), and '책임' (responsibility) are all concepts related to obligations, constraints, or expected behaviors, often associated with a sense of 'allegiance' to a system or role. '자유' (freedom) is the opposite, representing the absence of such constraints.

A — '규칙' (rules) refers to a set of regulations to be followed, implying a constraint or obligation.

B — '의무' (duty, obligation) refers to something one is required to do, often out of a sense of loyalty or role.

C — '자유' (freedom, liberty) refers to the state of being free from constraints or obligations, which is distinct from rules, duties, or responsibilities. This is the correct answer.

D — '책임' (responsibility) refers to being accountable for something, implying a duty or obligation.

정답: B. 게으른

How to solve: The sentence describes someone who is '충실한' (faithful, diligent, loyal) in their work. We need to find the opposite meaning. '성실한' (diligent, sincere), '정직한' (honest), and '부지런한' (diligent, hardworking) are all positive traits similar to '충실한'. '게으른' (lazy) is the direct opposite, describing someone who is not diligent or faithful in their tasks.

A — '성실한' (diligent, sincere) is a similar positive trait, meaning someone is faithful and earnest in their work.

B — '게으른' (lazy, indolent) describes someone who avoids work or effort, which is the direct opposite of being '충실한' (faithful, diligent) in one's duties. This is the correct answer.

C — '정직한' (honest) means truthful and sincere, which is a positive trait but not the direct opposite of '충실한' in the context of performing tasks.

D — '부지런한' (diligent, hardworking) is another positive trait that is very similar to '충실한', indicating someone who works hard and carefully.
