TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [Vocabulary] 1–5 (5/5/2026) – akshat raghuwanshi

정답: B. 배우고

How to solve: The sentence states that Akshat Raghuwanshi 'wants to ( ) Korean.' To 'learn' Korean is the most natural and appropriate verb in this context. '배우다' means 'to learn'.

A — '듣고' comes from '듣다' (to listen). While one might listen to Korean, 'wanting to listen to Korean' doesn't fit the general meaning of learning a language as well as '배우다'.

B — '배우고' comes from '배우다' (to learn). This fits perfectly with the idea of wanting to acquire a language.

C — '자고' comes from '자다' (to sleep). It is nonsensical to 'sleep Korean'.

D — '먹고' comes from '먹다' (to eat). It is nonsensical to 'eat Korean'.

정답: A. 학교

How to solve: The sentence indicates that Akshat Raghuwanshi 'goes to ( ) every morning.' Without further context, '학교 (school)' is a common destination for someone to go to every morning, especially if they are studying.

A — '학교' means 'school'. Going to school every morning is a common daily routine.

B — '병원' means 'hospital'. Going to the hospital every morning is unusual unless for specific medical treatment, which is not implied.

C — '시장' means 'market'. Going to the market every morning is possible but less universal as a 'daily routine' compared to school for a learner.

D — '공원' means 'park'. Going to the park every morning is a possible leisure activity, but '학교' fits the context of someone likely studying Korean better.

정답: B. 음악

How to solve: The sentence means 'Akshat Raghuwanshi likes Korean ( ).' Among the choices, '음악 (music)' is a very common thing for people to like from another culture.

A — '신문' means 'newspaper'. While one might read Korean newspapers, 'liking Korean newspapers' is less general than music.

B — '음악' means 'music'. Liking music from a particular country is very common and fits the context well.

C — '물' means 'water'. 'Korean water' doesn't make sense as something to specifically 'like' in a cultural context.

D — '책상' means 'desk'. 'Korean desk' is not a typical object of 'liking' in this general context.

정답: B. 똑똑합니다

How to solve: The sentence describes Akshat Raghuwanshi: 'He is tall and ( ).' The 'and' conjunction suggests another positive or descriptive adjective. '똑똑합니다 (is smart)' is a suitable quality that pairs well with 'tall'.

A — '아픕니다' means 'is sick/hurts'. This is a negative state and doesn't fit naturally with 'tall' as a general description.

B — '똑똑합니다' means 'is smart'. This is a common positive attribute to describe a person, fitting well with 'tall' as a general description.

C — '작습니다' means 'is small'. This is the opposite of '크다 (tall/big)' and creates a contradiction if used with '크고'.

D — '춥습니다' means 'is cold'. This describes the weather or a feeling, not a personal attribute that typically pairs with 'tall'.

정답: A. 요리

How to solve: The sentence states 'Akshat Raghuwanshi ( ) with friends.' The blank needs a noun that can be followed by '을/를 하다' (to do [noun]) and is a common activity done with friends. '요리 (cooking)' fits this context perfectly.

A — '요리' means 'cooking'. '요리하다' (to cook) is a very common activity to do with friends.

B — '쓰레기' means 'trash'. '쓰레기를 하다' (to do trash) is not a common or natural phrase. One would '버리다' (throw away) trash.

C — '가구' means 'furniture'. '가구를 하다' (to do furniture) is not a natural phrase. One would '만들다' (make) or '사다' (buy) furniture.

D — '계단' means 'stairs'. '계단을 하다' (to do stairs) is not a natural phrase. One would '오르다' (go up) or '내려가다' (go down) stairs.
