TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [vocabulary] 1–5 (5/10/2026) – pantoja

정답: A. 마십니다

How to solve: The sentence describes Pantoja's action in the morning related to coffee. '마시다' (to drink) is the appropriate verb for coffee.

A — '마십니다' means 'drinks'. It is the correct verb for drinking coffee.

B — '먹습니다' means 'eats'. It is used for food, not typically for beverages like coffee.

C — '봅니다' means 'sees' or 'watches'. It is not suitable for coffee.

D — '듣습니다' means 'hears' or 'listens'. It is not suitable for coffee.

정답: A. 빨리

How to solve: The sentence describes how Pantoja goes to school. Among the given adverbs, '빨리' (quickly) is a common TOPIK I adverb that makes a logical and frequently used sentence. Other adverbs relate to manner or companionship but are less generally applicable here.

A — '빨리' means 'quickly'. This is a common adverb describing the speed of an action.

B — '조용히' means 'quietly'. While grammatically possible, 'goes quietly' is less common for general movement to school.

C — '천천히' means 'slowly'. This is an opposite of '빨리' and a plausible distractor.

D — '같이' means 'together'. This implies going with someone, which is not indicated in the sentence.

정답: C. 열심히

How to solve: The sentence states Pantoja is learning Korean. The blank requires an adverb that describes *how* Pantoja is learning. '열심히' (diligently) is the correct adverbial form to modify the verb '배우고 있습니다' (is learning). The other choices are adjectives and not in an adverbial form suitable for modifying a verb.

A — '쉽습니다' means 'is easy' (adjective). It is not the correct grammatical form to modify a verb.

B — '어렵습니다' means 'is difficult' (adjective). It is not the correct grammatical form to modify a verb.

C — '열심히' means 'diligently' or 'hard' (adverb). This correctly modifies '배우고 있습니다' (is learning).

D — '재미있습니다' means 'is interesting' (adjective). It is not the correct grammatical form to modify a verb.

정답: C. 공원

How to solve: The sentence indicates Pantoja exercises on the weekend. The blank requires a suitable place for exercise. '공원' (park) is a common and appropriate place for exercise.

A — '식당' means 'restaurant'. It is for eating, not typically for exercising.

B — '도서관' means 'library'. It is for reading or studying, not for exercising.

C — '공원' means 'park'. This is a common and suitable place for exercise.

D — '병원' means 'hospital'. It is for medical treatment, not for exercising.

정답: B. 시간이

How to solve: The first part of the sentence 'Pantoja has a lot of work' provides a clear context. Having a lot of work naturally leads to not having 'time'. Therefore, '시간이 없습니다' (does not have time) is the most logical phrase to complete the sentence.

A — '기분이 없습니다' is an unnatural expression. The common phrase would be '기분이 안 좋습니다' (is not in a good mood).

B — '시간이 없습니다' means 'does not have time'. This fits perfectly with the context of having a lot of work.

C — '친구가 없습니다' means 'does not have friends'. This is unrelated to having a lot of work.

D — '돈이 없습니다' means 'does not have money'. While having a lot of work might be related to money, the direct logical consequence of 'having a lot of work' is a lack of time, not necessarily money.
