TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [Vocabulary] 1–5 (6/13/2026) – arelys barahona-martinez detention dallas

정답: A. 머물고

How to solve: The sentence describes Arelys Barahona-Martinez's state in Dallas. '머물다' means 'to stay' or 'to reside,' which fits the context of being in a location like Dallas, especially in a situation like detention.

A — '머물고' (staying) correctly completes the sentence to mean 'Arelys Barahona-Martinez is staying in Dallas.'

B — '가고' (going) would mean 'is going,' which doesn't fit the context of being already in Dallas.

C — '먹고' (eating) would mean 'is eating,' which is not the primary action related to one's presence in a location.

D — '자고' (sleeping) would mean 'is sleeping,' which is also not the primary action related to one's presence in a location in this general context.

정답: B. 장소

How to solve: The sentence describes Dallas. Dallas is a city, which is a type of 'place.' '장소' means 'place' or 'location.'

A — '사람' (person) is incorrect as Dallas is a city, not a person.

B — '장소' (place) correctly identifies Dallas as a location.

C — '시간' (time) is incorrect as Dallas is not a concept of time.

D — '음식' (food) is incorrect as Dallas is not a food.

정답: C. 외국인

How to solve: Given the context of 'detention' and the name, it's highly likely the person is not a citizen of the country where they are detained, making 'foreigner' a very relevant and common TOPIK I word.

A — '학생' (student) is a possible profession or status, but less directly related to the general context of detention than 'foreigner.'

B — '의사' (doctor) is a possible profession, but less directly related to the general context of detention.

C — '외국인' (foreigner) is the most contextually relevant term, especially considering 'detention' often implies immigration-related issues.

D — '친구' (friend) describes a relationship, not a status relevant to the broader context of detention.

정답: B. 문제

How to solve: The sentence implies a situation that requires attention or is difficult, which aligns with 'problem' or 'issue.' '문제' means 'problem' or 'issue.'

A — '선물' (gift) is positive and doesn't fit the likely context of detention.

B — '문제' (problem) accurately describes a difficulty or issue, which is consistent with the general theme.

C — '노래' (song) is irrelevant to the context.

D — '행복' (happiness) is positive and contradictory to the context of detention.

정답: C. 도움

How to solve: In a detention situation, people often require 'help' or 'assistance.' '도움' means 'help' or 'aid.' The structure '~이/가 필요하다' means 'to need something.'

A — '돈' (money) might be needed, but 'help' is a more general and fundamental need in such circumstances.

B — '책' (book) is unlikely to be the primary need in this context.

C — '도움' (help) is very relevant and a common need in challenging situations.

D — '시간' (time) refers to duration and is not a direct 'need' in the same way 'help' is.
