TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [Vocabulary] 1–5 (5/22/2026) – joe hunter

정답: B. 일어납니다

How to solve: The sentence states that Joe Hunter does something early every morning. Among the given options, '일어납니다' (gets up) is the most appropriate action that happens early in the morning.

A — 공부합니다 (studies) – While one might study early, 'getting up' is a more fundamental action that precedes other activities in the morning.

B — 일어납니다 (gets up) – This fits perfectly with '매일 아침 일찍' (early every morning).

C — 먹습니다 (eats) – Eating (breakfast) typically happens after getting up, and the phrase '일찍' (early) primarily refers to the act of waking.

D — 잠듭니다 (falls asleep) – This is an action that happens at night, not in the morning.

정답: B. 행복한

How to solve: The second part of the sentence, '항상 웃고 다닙니다' (He always smiles), provides a strong clue about Joe Hunter's characteristic. Someone who always smiles is likely 'happy'.

A — 슬픈 (sad) – Someone who is sad would not always smile.

B — 행복한 (happy) – This is consistent with '항상 웃고 다닙니다' (always smiles).

C — 지루한 (boring/bored) – Being bored does not directly correlate with always smiling.

D — 피곤한 (tired) – A tired person is less likely to always smile; they might look fatigued.

정답: D. 먹습니다

How to solve: The sentence describes Joe Hunter doing something with kimchi for lunch. Kimchi is a food item, and the typical action one performs with food, especially 'for lunch' (점심으로), is to eat it.

A — 읽습니다 (reads) – One cannot 'read' kimchi.

B — 마십니다 (drinks) – One cannot 'drink' solid kimchi.

C — 만듭니다 (makes) – While one can make kimchi, the context '점심으로' (for lunch) implies consumption, not creation.

D — 먹습니다 (eats) – This is the correct verb for consuming food like kimchi.

정답: B. 읽습니다

How to solve: The sentence indicates an action Joe Hunter performs with a book (책을) at a library (도서관에서). The most common and direct action one does with a book at a library is to read it.

A — 공부합니다 (studies) – While one might study at a library, the object here is '책을' (a book), and '읽습니다' is more specific to the action with the book itself.

B — 읽습니다 (reads) – This is the primary action performed with a book, especially in a library setting.

C — 삽니다 (buys) – Books are typically borrowed or read at a library, not bought (buying happens at a bookstore).

D — 만듭니다 (makes) – One does not 'make' a book at a library in this context.

정답: A. 보통

How to solve: The blank requires an adverb that describes the frequency or manner of drinking coffee. '보통' (usually) is the most fitting choice to describe a typical habit.

A — 보통 (usually, normally) – This adverb perfectly describes a regular habit, such as drinking coffee.

B — 아마 (perhaps, maybe) – This expresses uncertainty, which doesn't fit describing a common action.

C — 조금 (a little) – This describes quantity ('a little coffee'), not how often or in what manner the action occurs.

D — 너무 (too much, very) – This is an intensifier, usually for adjectives/adverbs or to mean 'too much' of something, not for expressing frequency.
