TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [Vocabulary] 1–5 (3/12/2026) – mta

정답: C. 지하철

How to solve: The sentence describes a daily commute to work. Among the given options, '지하철' (subway) is a common mode of public transportation for daily commutes, fitting the context of going to the office.

A — 버스 (bus) is a type of public transportation, but '지하철' (subway) is a more specific and common urban commute option for daily office travel.

B — 택시 (taxi) is a private mode of transport, usually more expensive and less common for daily regular commutes compared to public transport.

C — 지하철 (subway) is a very common and efficient public transportation for daily commutes in cities. This is the best fit.

D — 비행기 (airplane) is used for long-distance travel, not daily commutes to work.

정답: D. 탑니다

How to solve: The sentence describes the action of using a bus to go to school. The verb '타다' means 'to ride' or 'to get on' a vehicle, which is the appropriate action for using a bus.

A — 내립니다 (get off) is the opposite action of getting on, so it doesn't fit the context of using a bus to go to school.

B — 걷습니다 (walk) means to walk. If one walks to school, they are not riding a bus.

C — 운전합니다 (drive) means to drive. As a passenger, one doesn't drive the bus.

D — 탑니다 (ride/get on) is the correct verb for using public transport like a bus to reach a destination.

정답: C. 역

How to solve: The phrase '지하철' (subway) indicates that the meeting place is related to the subway system. '역' (station) is the appropriate place where one would meet someone within a subway context.

A — 집 (home) is a private residence, not a typical public meeting place directly associated with the subway.

B — 학교 (school) is an educational institution and not typically where one would meet someone specifically 'at the subway'.

C — 역 (station) is the common place for meeting friends or getting on/off the subway. This is the correct choice.

D — 공원 (park) is a public recreational space, but not specifically linked to the subway system in this context.

정답: C. 표

How to solve: To ride the subway, one needs to purchase a '표' (ticket). The verb '사다' (to buy) indicates that an item is being acquired for use on the subway.

A — 물 (water) is a beverage and not something you buy to ride the subway.

B — 돈 (money) is used to buy things, but you buy a '표' (ticket), not money itself.

C — 표 (ticket) is what you buy to gain access and use public transportation. This is the correct choice.

D — 가방 (bag) is an item for carrying belongings and is not something you buy to ride the subway.

정답: C. 갈아타야

How to solve: The sentence talks about changing to a '다른 노선' (another line) at the next station. This action is described by the verb '갈아타다' (to transfer), which fits perfectly with '야 합니다' meaning 'must/need to'.

A — 걷습니다 (walk) refers to the act of walking. While one might walk within a station, it doesn't describe the act of changing lines.

B — 달립니다 (run) means to run and is not the action of changing to a different train line.

C — 갈아타야 (transfer) is the correct verb for changing from one line or mode of transport to another. The grammatical form '갈아타야' fits the context of 'need to transfer'.

D — 기다립니다 (wait) means to wait. One might wait for the next train, but '기다리다' itself does not mean to change lines.
