TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘] 1–5 (5/12/2026) – bse sensex

정답: B. 지수

How to solve: The sentence states that Sensex is a major part of the Indian stock market. '지수' (index) is the most suitable word to describe Sensex, which is a stock market index.

A — 수익 (profit): Refers to financial gain, not a market indicator.

B — 지수 (index): A numerical scale representing changes in a market, which accurately describes Sensex.

C — 기업 (company): Refers to a business entity, not a market indicator.

D — 투자 (investment): Refers to committing money, not a market indicator.

정답: C. 상승

How to solve: The sentence indicates that the economic situation improved. An improving economy typically leads to an increase in stock prices. Therefore, '상승' (rise) is the correct word.

A — 하락 (fall): The opposite of rise, which would occur if the economy worsened.

B — 변동 (fluctuation): Refers to general changes, but '크게 ____했습니다' implies a specific direction, not just ups and downs.

C — 상승 (rise): Means to go up, which is consistent with an improving economy and stock prices.

D — 손실 (loss): Refers to a financial deficit, not a movement of prices.

정답: B. 투자

How to solve: The sentence talks about checking various information to perform an action safely. '투자' (investment) is an action that requires careful consideration and information gathering for safety.

A — 손실 (loss): This is a negative outcome, not an action one does 'safely'.

B — 투자 (investment): Committing capital to an endeavor, ideally done safely after thorough research.

C — 시장 (market): A place or system for buying and selling, not an action one performs.

D — 기업 (company): A business entity, not an action.

정답: D. 시장

How to solve: The sentence describes something related to stocks becoming active and attracting public interest. The '시장' (market) is the place where stock trading occurs and can be active, drawing interest.

A — 경제 (economy): Refers to the overall financial system, not specifically 'stock economy' in this context.

B — 수익 (profit): Refers to financial gain, not a place or system that becomes active.

C — 변동 (fluctuation): Refers to changes, but '시장이 활발하다' (the market is active) is a more natural fit than '변동이 활발하다'.

D — 시장 (market): The stock market can become active, leading to increased interest from people.

정답: C. 변동

How to solve: The sentence states that investors were anxious because the Sensex '____ was severe'. High '변동' (fluctuation) implies significant and often unpredictable ups and downs, which causes anxiety among investors due to uncertainty.

A — 상승 (rise): While rapid rises can sometimes cause caution, severe '상승' alone doesn't typically lead to widespread anxiety unless it's unsustainable.

B — 하락 (fall): A severe fall certainly causes anxiety, but '변동이 심하다' usually implies both rises and falls, not just one direction.

C — 변동 (fluctuation): Refers to frequent and significant changes (ups and downs), which perfectly explains why investors would be anxious due to market uncertainty.

D — 경제 (economy): 'Sensex economy' is not a coherent phrase. Sensex is an index within the economy.
