TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘 (Vocabulary)] 1–5 (4/10/2026) – amanda balionis

정답: A. 마십

How to solve: The sentence means 'I ___ coffee in the morning.' Coffee is a beverage, so the correct verb is 'to drink'. In Korean, 'to drink' is '마시다'. When conjugated to the polite formal present tense for 'I', it becomes '마십니다'.

A — Correct. '마시다' (to drink) is the appropriate verb for coffee.

B — '먹다' (to eat) is typically used for solid food, not for beverages like coffee.

C — '공부하다' (to study) is irrelevant in this context.

D — '읽다' (to read) is irrelevant in this context.

정답: A. 학교

How to solve: The sentence '저는 매일 ___에 갑니다' means 'I go to ___ every day.' Among the choices, '학교' (school) is the most natural place one would go to daily.

A — Correct. '학교' (school) is a common destination for daily activities, especially for students.

B — '책' (book) is an object, not a place to go to.

C — '연필' (pencil) is an object, not a place.

D — '공책' (notebook) is an object, not a place.

정답: A. 과일

How to solve: The word given is '사과' (apple). You need to choose the word that is related to 'apple'. An apple is a type of fruit.

A — Correct. '과일' (fruit) is the category to which '사과' (apple) belongs.

B — '채소' (vegetable) is incorrect. An apple is not a vegetable.

C — '고기' (meat) is incorrect. An apple is not meat.

D — '물' (water) is incorrect. An apple is not water.

정답: B. 좋

How to solve: The sentence means 'The weather is ___, so it's good for a walk.' For the weather to be good for a walk, a positive description is needed. '좋다' (to be good) fits this context.

A — '나쁘다' (to be bad) would imply bad weather, which is not good for a walk.

B — Correct. '좋다' (to be good) makes the sentence 'The weather is good, so it's good for a walk,' which is logical.

C — '덥다' (to be hot) might not be ideal for a walk for everyone, and it doesn't directly mean 'good'.

D — '춥다' (to be cold) might also not be ideal for a walk, and it doesn't directly mean 'good'.

정답: B. 어제

How to solve: The verb '갔습니다' (went) is in the past tense. Therefore, a past tense adverb like '어제' (yesterday) is the most appropriate choice to complete the sentence, meaning 'I went to see a movie with a friend yesterday.'

A — '지금' (now) refers to the present, which does not match the past tense verb.

B — Correct. '어제' (yesterday) refers to the past, which correctly matches the past tense verb '갔습니다'.

C — '내일' (tomorrow) refers to the future, which does not match the past tense verb.

D — '항상' (always) refers to a recurring action, which does not fit the specific past event described by '갔습니다'.
