TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘] 1–5 (6/2/2026) – jared young

정답: A. 사람

How to solve: This is a basic self-introduction sentence. The blank requires a noun that refers to a person. Among the choices, '사람' (person) is the most suitable word to complete '저는 ______ 입니다.' (I am a ______.).

A — '사람' means 'person'. It correctly completes the sentence to 'I am a person.', which is grammatically and contextually natural.

B — '책' means 'book'. 'I am a book.' is illogical.

C — '의자' means 'chair'. 'I am a chair.' is illogical.

D — '컴퓨터' means 'computer'. 'I am a computer.' is illogical.

정답: C. 공부해요

How to solve: The sentence indicates an action performed with '한국어' (Korean language). The word '공부하다' (to study) is provided in parentheses as a hint. The correct conjugated form of '공부하다' for polite present tense is '공부해요'.

A — '먹어요' means 'eat'. We don't 'eat' a language.

B — '마셔요' means 'drink'. We don't 'drink' a language.

C — '공부해요' means 'study'. It correctly completes the sentence 'I study Korean.'.

D — '봐요' means 'see' or 'watch'. While you can 'watch' a Korean drama, you 'study' the Korean language itself.

정답: A. 좋아요

How to solve: The sentence asks about today's weather ('오늘 날씨가'). The word '좋다' (to be good) is provided as a hint. The correct polite present tense conjugation for '좋다' is '좋아요'.

A — '좋아요' means 'is good'. It correctly completes the sentence 'Today's weather is good.'.

B — '먹어요' means 'eat'. This verb is unrelated to describing weather.

C — '작아요' means 'is small'. While '작다' can describe some things, it's not typically used for general weather description.

D — '어려워요' means 'is difficult'. This adjective is not suitable for describing weather.

정답: B. 위

How to solve: The sentence states 'The book is ______ the desk.' It requires a spatial preposition. '책상 위' means 'on the desk', which is the most common and logical place for a book to be. '책상 아래' (under the desk) is also possible but less common as a default, while '안' (inside) or '밖' (outside) don't fit well with '책상' unless it's a specific type of desk.

A — '아래' means 'under' or 'below'. 'The book is under the desk.' is possible but less common than 'on the desk' in a general context.

B — '위' means 'on' or 'above'. 'The book is on the desk.' is the most natural and common placement.

C — '안' means 'inside'. 'The book is inside the desk.' would imply a drawer or compartment, which is not the general meaning of '책상'.

D — '밖' means 'outside'. 'The book is outside the desk.' does not make sense in this context as 'outside' implies being external to a bounded space.

정답: C. 매일

How to solve: The sentence 'I go to school ______.' requires an adverb of frequency or time. '매일' (every day) is the most suitable choice to describe a regular action like going to school.

A — '어제' means 'yesterday'. This refers to past time and doesn't fit the general present tense context of going to school.

B — '내일' means 'tomorrow'. This refers to future time and doesn't fit a regular action in present tense.

C — '매일' means 'every day'. This is a common adverb of frequency for regular activities like going to school, making the sentence 'I go to school every day.'.

D — '아침' means 'morning'. While one goes to school in the morning, '아침' is a noun and would need a particle (e.g., '아침에') to function as a temporal adverb, and '매일' is a more direct fit for frequency.
