TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [vocabulary] 1–5 (5/23/2026) – crimson desert update

정답: B. 업데이트

How to solve: The sentence indicates that the game became more fun due to 'the latest __________ of Crimson Desert'. In the context of games, new versions or patches that add content or fix issues are called 'updates'. Therefore, '업데이트' (update) is the most suitable word.

A — 뉴스 (news) refers to new information or reports, which doesn't fit directly as something that makes a game more fun in this context.

B — 업데이트 (update) is the correct answer. It refers to a new version of software or a game that often brings improvements or new content, making the game more enjoyable.

C — 시장 (market) refers to a place where goods are bought and sold. It is completely irrelevant to the context of a game becoming more fun.

D — 학교 (school) refers to an educational institution. It is irrelevant to the context of a game update.

정답: B. 콘텐츠

How to solve: The sentence states that 'many interesting stories will be added in this __________'. In the context of games or media, stories, features, or elements that make up the game are referred to as 'content'. Thus, '콘텐츠' (content) is the most appropriate word.

A — 메뉴 (menu) refers to a list of options or dishes. While games have menus, 'interesting stories' are not added 'in' a menu itself but rather are part of the game's content.

B — 콘텐츠 (content) is the correct answer. It refers to the various elements, such as stories, quests, or features, that make up a game or media product.

C — 날씨 (weather) refers to atmospheric conditions. It has no relation to stories being added to a game.

D — 시간 (time) refers to a period or moment. While stories unfold over time, 'time' itself is not where stories are added.

정답: B. 기능

How to solve: The sentence says that 'new __________ have been added to the Crimson Desert update, making the gameplay richer'. In the context of a game update, new capabilities, mechanics, or options are called 'features' or 'functions'. Therefore, '기능' (feature/function) is the best fit.

A — 음식 (food) refers to items consumed for nourishment. This is irrelevant to enhancing game richness in a general update context.

B — 기능 (feature/function) is the correct answer. It refers to specific capabilities or aspects added to a game, such as new combat mechanics, social interactions, or customization options, which enrich gameplay.

C — 그림 (picture) refers to an image or drawing. While game graphics are pictures, 'new pictures' being added doesn't fully capture the idea of enriching 'gameplay' as broadly as 'functions' would.

D — 책 (book) refers to a written work. This is entirely unrelated to game updates making gameplay richer.

정답: C. 개선

How to solve: The sentence states that 'the developer is working to __________ the game by reflecting user feedback'. When developers incorporate user feedback, they typically aim to make the game better. '개선' (improvement) perfectly matches this meaning.

A — 출시 (release) refers to launching a product. While user feedback might be used before release, the act of reflecting feedback usually leads to improving something already existing or being developed, not just releasing it.

B — 주문 (order) refers to a request for something. This word is irrelevant to the context of improving a game based on feedback.

C — 개선 (improvement) is the correct answer. It means making something better or ameliorating its quality, which is the primary goal when reflecting user feedback.

D — 시작 (start) refers to the beginning of something. Reflecting user feedback is typically done during development or after a product's initial launch to refine it, not just to 'start' it.

정답: B. 기대

How to solve: The sentence says that 'many gamers have a very big __________ for the next update of Crimson Desert'. When gamers are looking forward to a new game update, they usually have positive feelings or anticipation. '기대' (expectation/anticipation) is the most fitting word to describe this sentiment.

A — 걱정 (worry) refers to feelings of anxiety or unease. While some might worry about updates, 'very big worry' is less common than 'very big anticipation' for new content.

B — 기대 (expectation/anticipation) is the correct answer. It perfectly describes the strong positive feeling or eagerness gamers have for upcoming game updates, especially for a highly anticipated game like Crimson Desert.

C — 후회 (regret) refers to feeling sorry about past actions or events. This is irrelevant to future updates.

D — 실수 (mistake) refers to an error or blunder. This word has no direct relation to the gamers' sentiment about an upcoming update.
