TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [vocabulary] 1–5 (5/24/2026) – kyle busch indy 500 number

정답: B. 번호

How to solve: The question asks '몇 _____' in the context of a race car. '번호' (number) is the most appropriate word to ask 'what number' a car drove with.

A — '시간' means time. This does not fit with '몇 _____' for a car's identifier.

B — '번호' means number. '몇 번호' or '몇 번' asks 'what number', which is correct for a race car's number.

C — '날짜' means date. This is irrelevant to a car's identifier in a race.

D — '거리' means distance. This does not fit the context of identifying a car in a race.

정답: B. 참가

How to solve: The sentence '카일 부시는 올해 인디 500 경주에 _____했습니다' needs a verb describing an action related to joining a race. '참가하다' (to participate) is the correct verb, making '참가했습니다' (participated) the appropriate choice.

A — '시작' is 'start'. '시작했습니다' means 'started', which could be plausible if the context was about starting the race, but '참가했습니다' (participated) is a more general and fitting term for joining an event.

B — '참가' is 'participation'. '참가했습니다' means 'participated', which is the most suitable action for a driver in a race.

C — '도착' is 'arrival'. '도착했습니다' means 'arrived', which happens at the end or at a location, not typically used for joining an event.

D — '준비' is 'preparation'. '준비했습니다' means 'prepared', which is an action before the race, not during or for joining the race itself.

정답: C. 선수

How to solve: The sentence describes 'many famous car _____' in the Indy 500 race. '선수' (athlete/driver) is the correct term for people who compete in a sport like car racing.

A — '관객' means audience or spectators. While there are many in a race, they are not the 'famous car' people competing.

B — '직원' means staff or employees. They work at the event but are not the competitors.

C — '선수' means athlete or player, specifically 'driver' in the context of car racing. This fits perfectly with 'famous car _____'.

D — '기자' means reporter. Reporters cover the event, but do not compete in it.

정답: B. 경기

How to solve: The sentence states that Kyle Busch '출전합니다' (competes/participates) in a 'big car _____ like Indy 500'. '경기' (game/match/competition) is the most appropriate word to refer to a sporting event or competition.

A — '건물' means building. This is not related to a car race event.

B — '경기' means a game, match, or competition. '자동차 경기' (car competition/race) is a suitable term for an event like Indy 500.

C — '시장' means market. This is unrelated to a car race.

D — '공장' means factory. This is unrelated to a car race event.

정답: A. 타는

How to solve: The sentence describes something that is 'very difficult and dangerous' when done with a 'racing car'. '타는 것' (the act of riding/driving) is the correct action related to operating a racing car.

A — '타는 것' means 'the act of riding/driving'. Driving a racing car is indeed difficult and dangerous.

B — '걷는 것' means 'the act of walking'. This is not relevant to a racing car's operation.

C — '보는 것' means 'the act of seeing/watching'. While watching might be exciting, it's not typically described as difficult and dangerous for the watcher.

D — '만드는 것' means 'the act of making'. Making a racing car is difficult, but the sentence focuses on the inherent danger and difficulty of its operation once made.
