TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [vocabulary] 1–5 (3/16/2026) – aldo de nigris

정답: A. 학교

How to solve: The sentence states that Aldo De Nigris goes to a place today. The particle '에 가다' (to go to a place) requires a place noun in the blank. Among the choices, '학교' (school) is the only suitable noun that represents a place one goes to. '공부' is a noun meaning study, '읽다' is a verb meaning to read, and '뛰다' is a verb meaning to run.

A — '학교' (school) is a place where one goes, fitting the structure '에 가다'. This is the correct answer.

B — '공부' (study) is an action/noun, not a place.

C — '읽다' (to read) is a verb, not a place.

D — '뛰다' (to run) is a verb, not a place.

정답: C. 일어나다

How to solve: The sentence describes an action Aldo De Nigris does 'every morning early'. Among the verbs, '일어나다' (to wake up/get up) is the most natural fit for '매일 아침 일찍' (every morning early), as it refers to the act of getting out of bed to start the day.

A — '자다' (to sleep) is the opposite action of waking up, and doesn't fit with '아침 일찍' (early morning) as the main activity after getting up.

B — '먹다' (to eat) could happen in the morning, but '일어나다' is a more fundamental action associated with '아침 일찍' when describing the start of the day.

C — '일어나다' (to wake up, to get up) perfectly fits the context of '매일 아침 일찍' (every morning early). This is the correct answer.

D — '보다' (to see/watch) is not a primary action associated with '아침 일찍' to describe the very first activity.

정답: A. 작다

How to solve: The sentence describes the state of Aldo De Nigris's bag, using the intensifier '아주' (very). Therefore, an adjective is required to describe the bag. '작다' (to be small) is an adjective that appropriately describes the size of a bag.

A — '작다' (to be small) is an adjective that can describe the size of a bag, fitting the sentence structure. This is the correct answer.

B — '먹다' (to eat) is a verb, not an adjective.

C — '가다' (to go) is a verb, not an adjective.

D — '쓰다' (to write/use) is a verb, not an adjective.

정답: B. 빵

How to solve: The sentence states that Aldo De Nigris eats something for lunch, indicated by '점심으로' (for lunch) and '먹어요' (eats). Among the choices, '빵' (bread) is a food item that can be eaten for lunch. The other options are not food.

A — '의자' (chair) is not food.

B — '빵' (bread) is a common food item suitable for lunch. This is the correct answer.

C — '연필' (pencil) is not food.

D — '가방' (bag) is not food.

정답: D. 도서관

How to solve: The sentence indicates that Aldo De Nigris reads a book 'at a place' because of the particle '에서' (at/in) after the blank and the action '책을 읽어요' (reads a book). Therefore, a place noun that fits the context of reading books is required. Among the choices, '도서관' (library) is the most appropriate place.

A — '그리고' (and) is a conjunction, not a place noun.

B — '에서' (at/in) is a particle, which is already present after the blank. Inserting it again would be grammatically incorrect and redundant.

C — '하지만' (but) is a conjunction, not a place noun.

D — '도서관' (library) is a noun for a place where one commonly reads books, fitting both the particle '에서' and the context of '책을 읽어요'. This is the correct answer.
