TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘] 1–5 (7/3/2026) – donald trump park signage lawsuit

정답: C. 공원

How to solve: The sentence describes going somewhere with family on the weekend to have a fun time. '공원' (park) is the most natural fit for this context.

A — '회사' (company) is a workplace, not typically for fun family outings on a weekend.

B — '학교' (school) is for learning, not usually a place for weekend family fun.

C — '공원' (park) is a common place for families to relax and have fun on weekends.

D — '병원' (hospital) is for medical treatment, not for recreational family time.

정답: B. 표지판

How to solve: When one is lost, looking at signs helps find the way. '표지판' (signage/signboard) is the appropriate word.

A — '신문' (newspaper) is for reading news, not for finding directions when lost.

B — '표지판' (signage/signboard) provides information and directions, useful when lost.

C — '건물' (building) might be a landmark but doesn't inherently give directions like a sign.

D — '자동차' (car) is a vehicle, not something one looks at to find their way when lost.

정답: C. 소송

How to solve: The sentence describes something that has been ongoing for several years between two companies. This context strongly suggests a legal dispute. '소송' (lawsuit) is the correct term.

A — '소풍' (picnic/outing) is a recreational activity, not an ongoing issue between companies.

B — '소설' (novel) is a work of fiction, unrelated to company disputes.

C — '소송' (lawsuit) is a legal action or dispute, which can indeed last for years between companies.

D — '소식' (news/tidings) is information, but not an ongoing event itself.

정답: B. 시

How to solve: The sentence states that the place has a population of over one million and is a '큰 도시' (big city). '시' (city) is the appropriate term for such a place in Korean.

A — '마을' (village/town) is much smaller than a city with a million people.

B — '시' (city) correctly describes a large urban area with a significant population.

C — '들판' (field/plain) refers to an open rural area, not a populated city.

D — '산' (mountain) is a natural geographical feature, not a type of populated area.

정답: B. 논란

How to solve: When a politician's statement causes significant public discussion or disagreement, it creates a '논란' (controversy).

A — '관심' (interest) might be generated, but '큰 관심' isn't as fitting for a politician's statement that implies a negative or divisive reaction.

B — '논란' (controversy) perfectly describes a situation where remarks cause widespread disagreement or debate.

C — '행복' (happiness) is a positive emotion, unlikely to be 'caused' by a controversial political statement.

D — '약속' (promise) is a pledge, not something that is 'caused' or 'raised' by a statement in this context.
