TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘] 1–5 (6/28/2026) – tornado warning molalla oregon

정답: C. 토네이도

How to solve: The sentence talks about a strong natural phenomenon for which a warning was issued in Molalla, Oregon. Among the choices, '토네이도' (tornado) is a strong natural phenomenon that often leads to severe warnings. '눈' (snow), '비' (rain), and '안개' (fog) are not typically described as 'strong' in this context leading to such severe warnings.

A — 눈 (snow) can be heavy but is not typically referred to as a 'strong' event in the same context as a tornado warning.

B — 비 (rain) can be heavy but is not a 'strong' natural phenomenon causing evacuation warnings like a tornado.

C — 토네이도 (tornado) is a very strong and dangerous weather event that perfectly fits the context of a severe warning ('경보').

D — 안개 (fog) is not a strong natural phenomenon; it's a visibility issue and does not cause a 'strong' warning.

정답: B. 경보

How to solve: The sentence states that residents evacuated to a safe place. This action is typically taken when a '경보' (warning) is issued, indicating danger. '축제' (festival), '소풍' (picnic), or '파티' (party) would not cause people to evacuate.

A — 축제 (festival) is an event for gathering, not for evacuation.

B — 경보 (warning) is an official alert for a dangerous situation, which would prompt people to evacuate for safety.

C — 소풍 (picnic) is a recreational activity, not a reason for evacuation.

D — 파티 (party) is a social gathering, not a reason for evacuation.

정답: B. 대비

How to solve: The sentence describes residents making preparations ('미리 준비했습니다') for a tornado. The appropriate action in this context is '대비하다' (to prepare for or to cope with). '구경' (watching), '무시' (ignoring), and '시작' (starting) do not fit the context of preparing for a natural disaster.

A — 구경 (watching or sightseeing) is not an appropriate action to 'prepare for' a tornado in a safety context.

B — 대비 (preparation or readiness) is the correct action to take in advance of a potential natural disaster like a tornado.

C — 무시 (ignore) is a dangerous action that contradicts the idea of 'preparing in advance'.

D — 시작 (start) does not make sense in the context of preparing for a tornado.

정답: C. 안전

How to solve: During a tornado warning, the primary concern is protection from danger. '안전' (safety) directly relates to this concern. '재미' (fun), '돈' (money), and '행복' (happiness) are secondary or irrelevant concerns during an emergency.

A — 재미 (fun) is not the priority during a dangerous situation like a tornado warning.

B — 돈 (money) is important, but personal safety is paramount during an immediate threat from a natural disaster.

C — 안전 (safety) is the most critical thing to protect during an emergency situation like a tornado warning.

D — 행복 (happiness) is not the immediate goal during an emergency; ensuring safety is.

정답: C. 주민

How to solve: The sentence refers to people who live in the Molalla area and were advised to go to a tornado shelter. '주민' (residents) are the most fitting group to receive such an instruction for a local disaster. While tourists might be present, '주민' is a more general and appropriate term for the people residing in the affected area. '우체부' (postman) and '경찰' (police) have specific roles and are not the general population being evacuated.

A — 관광객 (tourist) refers to visitors, but '주민' is more encompassing for all people living in or present in the affected area who need to evacuate.

B — 우체부 (postman) has a specific job and is not the general group referred to for evacuation.

C — 주민 (resident) refers to the people who live in a particular area and are directly affected by local warnings and advised to evacuate for safety. This is the most appropriate answer.

D — 경찰 (police) officers are emergency responders and would be assisting with the evacuation, not generally being evacuated as a group.
