TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘] 1–5 (6/28/2026) – vergil ortiz

정답: C. 운동선수

How to solve: Vergil Ortiz is a well-known boxer. A boxer falls under the category of an 'athlete'. Therefore, '운동선수' (athlete) is the most appropriate word to complete the sentence.

A — '의사' means doctor. This is irrelevant to a boxer.

B — '학생' means student. While he might have been a student at some point, his current famous profession is not being a student.

C — '운동선수' means athlete. A boxer is a type of athlete, making this the correct choice.

D — '요리사' means chef. This is irrelevant to a boxer.

정답: B. 승리

How to solve: The sentence states that Vergil Ortiz 'won against his opponent' ('상대를 이기고'). When you win against an opponent in a game, you achieve 'victory'. Therefore, '승리' (victory) is the correct word.

A — '패배' means defeat. This contradicts '상대를 이기고' (won against the opponent).

B — '승리' means victory. This logically follows from '상대를 이기고' (won against the opponent).

C — '연습' means practice. While athletes practice, the sentence describes the outcome of a match, not practice.

D — '포기' means giving up. This contradicts winning the match.

정답: C. 강하다

How to solve: Vergil Ortiz is known as a powerful boxer. A powerful boxer's punches are expected to be 'strong'. Therefore, '강하다' (strong) is the most fitting adjective.

A — '약하다' means weak. This is the opposite of what is expected from a professional boxer's punch.

B — '작다' means small. This refers to size, not the power or impact of a punch.

C — '강하다' means strong. This is a common and appropriate description for a boxer's punch.

D — '느리다' means slow. A boxer's punch can be fast or slow, but 'strong' is a more direct descriptor of its impact.

정답: D. 경기

How to solve: As a boxer, the most significant event in Vergil Ortiz's schedule would be a 'match' or 'game'. Therefore, '경기' (match/game) is the correct word to complete the sentence.

A — '수업' means class. While he might attend a class, it's not typically a 'major event' for a famous boxer.

B — '공연' means performance. This is usually for artists or musicians, not boxers.

C — '여행' means travel. While he might travel for matches, '여행' itself isn't the 'event' that '열립니다' (is held).

D — '경기' means match or game. This is the most appropriate term for a boxer's major event.

정답: C. 훈련

How to solve: To become a champion in any sport, an athlete must 'train' diligently every day. Therefore, '훈련' (training) is the correct word to complete the sentence.

A — '독서' means reading. While good for the mind, it's not the primary activity for an athlete to become a champion.

B — '식사' means eating. Eating is necessary for life, but not the specific 'hard work' for championship achievement.

C — '훈련' means training. Athletes undergo rigorous training to improve and become champions.

D — '쇼핑' means shopping. This is a leisure activity and irrelevant to becoming a sports champion.
