TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [vocabulary] 1–5 (4/17/2026) – indiana fever sophie cunningham baptism

정답: B. 선수

How to solve: The sentence states that Sophie Cunningham is related to the Indiana Fever basketball. A person who plays sports is called a '선수' (player). '감독' means coach/manager, '코치' means coach, and '팬' means fan. Only '선수' fits the context of playing basketball.

A — '감독' refers to a manager or head coach of a team. Sophie Cunningham is known as a player, not a manager.

B — '선수' means player. This correctly describes Sophie Cunningham's role in the Indiana Fever basketball team.

C — '코치' refers to an assistant coach or trainer. While a coach is part of a team, '선수' is the more direct description of her role.

D — '팬' means fan. This describes someone who supports the team, not a member of the team itself.

정답: C. 세례

How to solve: The sentence mentions '교회에서 (in a church)' and '받았습니다 (received)', with a hint about a '신성한 의식 (sacred ceremony)'. Among the choices, '세례' (baptism) is a sacred ceremony typically received in a church. The other options do not fit the context of a sacred ceremony.

A — '공부' means study or learning. This is not a ceremony received in a church.

B — '선물' means gift. While gifts might be given in a church context, it's not a 'sacred ceremony' itself.

C — '세례' means baptism. This is a common sacred ceremony performed in churches, fitting the context and hint perfectly.

D — '음식' means food. This is not a sacred ceremony received in a church.

정답: C. 응원합니다

How to solve: The sentence talks about '많은 팬들이 (many fans)' and '인디애나 피버 팀을 (the Indiana Fever team)'. Fans typically '응원합니다' (cheer for/support) their team. The other verbs do not make sense in this context.

A — '먹습니다' means to eat. This is irrelevant to fans and a sports team.

B — '공부합니다' means to study. This does not describe the action of fans towards a team.

C — '응원합니다' means to cheer for or support. This is the most appropriate action for fans towards a sports team.

D — '잠니다' (정정: 잡니다, to sleep) means to sleep. This is completely irrelevant to the context.

정답: C. 경기

How to solve: The sentence implies Sophie Cunningham, a player for Indiana Fever, will '나가다 (go out / participate)' in something next. In the context of a sports team, a player participates in a '경기' (game/match). The other places do not fit a player's scheduled participation.

A — '시장' means market. A player would not '나갈 예정' to a market in this professional context.

B — '학교' means school. This is not where a professional athlete typically competes.

C — '경기' means game or match. A basketball player for a team would '나갈 예정' to a game. This is the correct fit.

D — '도서관' means library. This is completely unrelated to a basketball player's schedule.

정답: C. 팀

How to solve: Indiana Fever is described as being part of '미국 여자 농구 (US Women's Basketball)'. It is a well-known '팀' (team). '도시' (city), '학교' (school), and '가게' (store) do not describe a professional sports entity.

A — '도시' means city. Indiana Fever is named after a state/city, but it is not a city itself.

B — '학교' means school. Indiana Fever is a professional sports organization, not an educational institution.

C — '팀' means team. This accurately describes Indiana Fever as a professional women's basketball team.

D — '가게' means store. This is completely unrelated to a professional basketball entity.
