TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [vocabulary] 1–5 (7/7/2026) – publix organic blueberry recall

정답: B. 회수

How to solve: The sentence states that Publix ____ organic blueberries due to health concerns. '회수 (recall/withdrawal)' is the most appropriate word in this context, as products with health concerns are recalled from the market.

A — 판매 (sale) means to sell. This contradicts the context of health concerns leading to the removal of products.

B — 회수 (recall/withdrawal) means to take back or retrieve. This perfectly fits the situation of a product recall due to safety issues.

C — 포장 (packaging) means to pack. This is irrelevant to the action taken due to health concerns.

D — 홍보 (promotion) means to promote. This is the opposite of what would happen if there were health concerns.

정답: B. 유기농

How to solve: The context is 'Publix organic blueberry recall'. The blank asks for the cultivation method of the blueberries. '유기농 (organic)' directly refers to 'organic' in the given topic.

A — 일반 (general/regular) refers to a common cultivation method, not specific to the recall context.

B — 유기농 (organic) means organically grown. This is directly mentioned in 'Publix organic blueberry recall' and is the correct descriptor.

D — 냉동 (frozen) refers to the state of preservation, not the cultivation method.

정답: B. 유해, 불안

How to solve: The sentence describes a recall due to a discovered substance and the resulting consumer sentiment. A 'recall' implies a problem. Therefore, a 'harmful substance' (유해 물질) and 'anxiety' (불안) among consumers are the most logical fit.

A — 건강 (health) and 관심 (interest) don't fit the negative connotation of a recall.

B — 유해 (harmful) 물질 (substance) fits the reason for a recall, and 불안 (anxiety/unease) appropriately describes the consumers' reaction.

How to solve: The sentence advises to ____ if organic blueberries at home are subject to recall. When there's a recall, consumers need to 'check' or 'confirm' (확인) if their specific product is affected.
