TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘] 1–5 (4/2/2026) – dylan harper

정답: A. 만들었습니다

How to solve: The sentence describes Dylan making a cake. The blank requires a verb that means 'to make'. '만들었습니다' is the past tense of '만들다' (to make).

A — Correct. '만들었습니다' means 'made', which fits the context of '케이크를 만들다' (to make a cake).

B — '먹었습니다' means 'ate'. While one eats cake, the sentence structure '케이크를 ( )' implies making it, not just eating it, especially when '만들다' is an option.

C — '읽었습니다' means 'read'. One reads books or newspapers, not cakes.

D — '보았습니다' means 'saw' or 'watched'. One sees or watches things, but not in the context of creating a cake.

정답: A. 학교

How to solve: The sentence '딜런은 매일 ( )에 갑니다.' means 'Dylan goes to ( ) every day.' Among the options, '학교' (school) is the most common place one goes to every day, especially in basic scenarios.

A — Correct. '학교' means 'school'. Going to school every day is a very common daily routine.

B — '병원' means 'hospital'. While one might go to the hospital, it's not typically an 'every day' activity.

C — '시장' means 'market'. One might go to the market sometimes, but not usually 'every day'.

D — '은행' means 'bank'. Visiting a bank every day is uncommon.

정답: A. 좋습니다

How to solve: The sentence '딜런은 아주 ( ).' means 'Dylan is very ( ).' Among the given options, '좋습니다' (is good) is the most natural and common adjective to describe a person in a positive light without further context.

A — Correct. '좋습니다' means 'is good'. It is a suitable general positive description.

B — '작습니다' means 'is small'. This describes physical size, which is less likely to be the intended general description.

C — '많습니다' means 'is many/much'. This describes quantity, not a personal characteristic in this context.

D — '큽니다' means 'is big'. This describes physical size, similar to '작습니다', and is less likely to be the general description.

정답: C. 를

How to solve: The verb '좋아하다' (to like) takes an object. The object particle '을/를' is used to mark the object of a transitive verb. Here, '한국 영화' (Korean movies) is the object of '좋아합니다' (likes). Since '영화' ends with a vowel, '를' is the correct particle.

A — '에' is a locative particle (to, at) or a time particle. It does not mark the object of '좋아하다'.

B — '가' is a subject particle. '한국 영화' is the object, not the subject in this sentence.

C — Correct. '를' is the object particle used with nouns ending in a vowel. It correctly marks '한국 영화' as the object of '좋아하다'.

D — '에서' indicates a place where an action occurs or a starting point. It's not used to mark the object of '좋아하다'.

정답: C. 매일

How to solve: The sentence '딜런은 ( ) 운동합니다.' means 'Dylan exercises ( ).' The options are adverbs of time. '매일' (every day) is the most common and logical choice for a regular activity like exercising, which fits the present tense verb '운동합니다'.

A — '어제' means 'yesterday'. If Dylan exercised yesterday, the verb form would typically be '운동했습니다' (past tense).

B — '내일' means 'tomorrow'. If Dylan will exercise tomorrow, the verb form would typically be '운동할 겁니다' or '운동할 것입니다' (future tense).

C — Correct. '매일' means 'every day'. This fits perfectly with the present tense verb '운동합니다' (exercises), indicating a regular habit or routine.

D — '지금' means 'now'. While grammatically possible, '지금 운동합니다' (exercises now) is less natural than '지금 운동해요' or '지금 운동하고 있습니다' (is exercising now), and '매일' suggests a routine rather than a current action.
