TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [vocabulary] 1–5 (5/7/2026) – reds

정답: A. 빨갛습니다

How to solve: The sentence describes autumn scenery. In autumn, mountain leaves (단풍) typically turn red. Therefore, a verb meaning 'to be red' is appropriate for the blank.

A — 빨갛습니다 (ppalgatsseumnida) means 'is red'. This fits the context of autumn leaves.

B — 파랗습니다 (paratsseumnida) means 'is blue'. This does not fit the description of autumn leaves.

C — 노랗습니다 (noratsseumnida) means 'is yellow'. While some autumn leaves are yellow, 'red' is a more common and direct association with '단풍' in many contexts, and '빨갛습니다' is the intended answer here.

D — 하얗습니다 (hayatsseumnida) means 'is white'. This does not fit the description of autumn leaves.

정답: A. 빨간색

How to solve: The question asks about a color preference for clothes. The theme is 'reds', so look for the option that means 'red color'.

A — 빨간색 (ppalgansaek) means 'red color'. This is the correct answer based on the theme.

B — 검은색 (geom-eunsaek) means 'black color'.

C — 하얀색 (hayansaek) means 'white color'.

D — 파란색 (paransaek) means 'blue color'.

정답: A. 딸기

How to solve: The sentence asks for a 'delicious juice'. Among the choices, identify the fruit that is typically red.

A — 딸기 (ttalgi) means 'strawberry', which is a red fruit often used for juice. This is the correct answer.

B — 바나나 (banana) means 'banana', which is yellow.

C — 포도 (podo) means 'grape', which can be purple or green, but not typically 'red' in the context of common single-fruit juices associated with the color.

정답: A. 빨갛게

How to solve: The sentence describes the sky after a fire (불이 나서). Fires often have red flames, and the smoke or light can make the sky appear red. So, an adverb meaning 'redly' or 'in a red manner' is appropriate.

A — 빨갛게 (ppalgat-ge) means 'redly' or 'in a red way'. This accurately describes how the sky would look during or after a fire.

B — 파랗게 (parat-ge) means 'bluely'. This does not fit the context of a fire.

C — 까맣게 (kamat-ge) means 'blackly'. While there might be black smoke, the primary visual effect of fire itself is usually reddish, especially on the sky.

D — 하얗게 (hayat-ge) means 'whitishly'. This does not fit the context of a fire.

정답: A. 빨간

How to solve: The sentence describes flowers blooming on the road. The theme is 'reds', so identify the adjective form that means 'red'.

A — 빨간 (ppalgan) is the adjective form of 'red'. It correctly describes '꽃 (kkot)' which means 'flower'. This is the correct answer.

B — 파란 (paran) is the adjective form of 'blue'.

C — 노란 (noran) is the adjective form of 'yellow'.

D — 하얀 (hayan) is the adjective form of 'white'.
