TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [Vocabulary] 1–5 (5/16/2026) – auto accident attorneys

정답: B. 변호사

How to solve: The sentence states that there was a traffic accident and help was requested. Among the choices, '변호사' (lawyer/attorney) is the most appropriate professional to seek help from for legal matters related to an accident, especially concerning 'auto accident attorneys'. '의사' (doctor) helps with injuries, '경찰관' (police officer) handles the scene and investigation, and '소방관' (firefighter) handles emergencies like fires, none of which directly fit the context of seeking legal 'help' for an accident settlement or dispute.

A — '의사' means doctor. While an accident might require a doctor for injuries, the context of '도움을 요청했다' (requested help) in a general sense for an accident often extends beyond immediate medical care, especially when thinking about legal or compensation matters.

B — '변호사' means lawyer or attorney. After an auto accident, people often seek help from a lawyer to deal with insurance claims, compensation, or legal disputes. This fits the context perfectly.

C — '경찰관' means police officer. Police officers are involved in accident investigation and reporting, but '도움을 요청했다' here suggests seeking assistance with the aftermath, which often involves legal advice, rather than just reporting the incident.

D — '소방관' means firefighter. Firefighters respond to emergencies like fires or rescues, which are not the primary type of help requested after a standard traffic accident for its resolution.

정답: B. 보상

How to solve: The sentence describes consulting a lawyer after an accident. Lawyers are typically consulted after an accident to discuss financial or other forms of recompense. '보상' (compensation) is the most suitable word in this context, referring to what one might receive after an accident, often with a lawyer's help.

A — '선물' means gift. Gifts are not typically 'received' as a result of consulting a lawyer after an accident.

B — '보상' means compensation. This is what victims of an accident seek, often with the help of a lawyer, to cover damages, medical expenses, or lost wages.

C — '휴가' means vacation. A vacation is unrelated to the reason one would consult a lawyer after an accident.

D — '시험' means exam. An exam is not something one 'receives' or discusses with a lawyer in this context.

정답: B. 해결

How to solve: The sentence states that a lawyer explained in detail about traffic accident ________. A lawyer's role after an accident is to help manage and conclude the case. '해결' (resolution/settlement) is the most fitting term to describe what a lawyer would explain regarding an accident case.

A — '발생' means occurrence or outbreak. While the accident 'occurred,' the lawyer explains about its resolution, not just its occurrence.

B — '해결' means resolution or settlement. A lawyer's primary role after an accident is to help resolve the issues, such as liability, compensation, or legal proceedings. This is exactly what they would explain in detail.

C — '요리' means cooking. This is completely irrelevant to traffic accidents and lawyers.

D — '쇼핑' means shopping. This is also completely irrelevant to the context.

정답: C. 부주의

How to solve: The sentence describes traffic accidents often occurring due to a certain type of driving. We need an adjective that describes a negative driving habit leading to accidents. '부주의한' (careless) describes driving that causes accidents, making '부주의' the correct choice.

A — '안전' means safe. '안전한 운전' (safe driving) prevents accidents, so this is the opposite of what is needed.

B — '조심' means careful. '조심한 운전' (careful driving) also prevents accidents, so this is incorrect.

C — '부주의' means carelessness or inattentiveness. '부주의한 운전' (careless driving) is a common cause of traffic accidents, fitting the context perfectly.

D — '빠르' is the stem for '빠른' (fast). While fast driving can cause accidents, '부주의' (carelessness) is a more general and fundamental cause that encompasses various unsafe driving behaviors, including but not limited to speed.

정답: B. 치료

How to solve: The sentence indicates that someone was injured in an accident ('다쳐서') and went to the hospital ('병원에서'). When injured and in a hospital, the most logical thing to receive is medical care. '치료' (treatment) is the appropriate word here.

A — '상담' means consultation. While one might receive consultation in a hospital, '상담' isn't the primary thing one 'receives' when injured after an accident, especially when referring to physical recovery.

B — '치료' means treatment. When injured and in a hospital, receiving treatment for one's injuries is the most direct and appropriate action.

C — '운동' means exercise. Exercise might be part of rehabilitation after treatment, but it's not the initial thing 'received' at a hospital for an injury.

D — '숙제' means homework. This is completely irrelevant to being injured and in a hospital.
