TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [vocabulary] 1–5 (6/22/2026) – jordan vs algeria

정답: B. 경기

How to solve: This question asks for the correct word to fill the blank related to a soccer event between two countries. '경기' means 'match' or 'game' and fits naturally into the context of 'soccer match'.

A — '선수' means 'player', which doesn't fit the grammatical structure and context of '축구 ( )가 열렸습니다'.

B — '경기' means 'match' or 'game', making '축구 경기' (soccer match) a perfect fit for the sentence.

C — '팀' means 'team', but '축구 팀이 열렸습니다' is grammatically incorrect.

D — '관중' means 'audience' or 'spectator', which also doesn't fit the context of something being 'held'.

정답: C. 국가

How to solve: The sentence refers to '대표팀' (national team) and their goal of advancing to the World Cup. The blank needs a word that describes what kind of national teams they are. '국가' (country/nation) is the most suitable word, forming '국가 대표팀' (national team).

A — '팀' means 'team'. While '두 팀 대표팀' is redundant and unnatural, '두 팀이 싸웠습니다' would be correct if not for '대표팀'. Here, '국가' modifies '대표팀'.

B — '득점' means 'score' or 'point', which is irrelevant to describing the type of team.

C — '국가' means 'country' or 'nation', thus '국가 대표팀' means 'national team', fitting the context perfectly.

D — '승리' means 'victory', which doesn't describe the teams.

정답: D. 승리

How to solve: The sentence states that 'this event/outcome was very important for the Jordan team.' In a competitive game, a positive outcome like a 'victory' would be very important.

A — '응원' means 'cheering' or 'support'. While important, it's not the primary outcome of a game that is 'very important' to the team in terms of results.

B — '패배' means 'defeat'. A defeat is usually not 'very important' in a positive sense for a team, unless it's a learning experience, but 'very important' usually implies a positive impact.

C — '선수' means 'player', which doesn't fit as an outcome.

D — '승리' means 'victory'. A victory is indeed very important for a team, especially in a competition.

정답: B. 응원했습니다

How to solve: The sentence describes what 'many people' did for 'their team' 'enthusiastically in the stadium'. The most common action for fans in a stadium supporting their team is to 'cheer'.

A — '이겼습니다' means 'won'. People don't 'win' their team; teams win.

B — '응원했습니다' means 'cheered' or 'supported'. This perfectly describes the action of fans in a stadium.

C — '만들었습니다' means 'made'. People don't 'make' their team in this context.

D — '보냈습니다' means 'sent'. This verb is not appropriate for the context of supporting a team in a stadium.

정답: D. 선수

How to solve: The sentence states that 'they did their best throughout the game'. In a sports game, it is the 'players' who exert effort and do their best.

A — '관중' means 'audience' or 'spectator'. The audience watches, they don't play or 'do their best throughout the game'.

B — '국가' means 'country' or 'nation'. This doesn't fit the grammatical structure or meaning of who performs in a game.

C — '팀' means 'team'. While a team does its best, the blank is plural ('( )들은'), implying individuals. '선수들' (players) is more specific and fits better than '팀들'.

D — '선수' means 'player'. '선수들은' (players) perfectly fits the context of individuals doing their best during a game.
