TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [vocabulary] 1–5 (7/12/2026) – 2030 world cup

정답: A. 개최될

How to solve: The sentence talks about the 2030 World Cup being held in multiple countries. The most appropriate verb to describe the 'holding' or 'hosting' of an event like the World Cup is '개최되다' (to be hosted/held). Therefore, '개최될' fits best in the blank.

A — 개최될 (to be hosted/held) is the correct word as it describes the act of organizing and presenting an event like the World Cup. '개최되다' is the passive form of '개최하다' (to host).

B — 시작될 (to be started) means 'will be started'. While the World Cup will start, '개최될' better describes the overall hosting of the event across countries.

C — 끝날 (to be ended) means 'will be ended'. This is the opposite of starting and does not fit the context of the World Cup being hosted.

D — 모일 (to gather/assemble) means 'will gather'. While people will gather for the World Cup, the World Cup itself is not 'gathering' but rather 'being hosted'.

정답: A. 나갈

How to solve: The sentence talks about many players training hard for the World Cup. The verb that describes participating or going to a competition like the World Cup is '나가다'. Therefore, '나갈' (will go out/participate) is the correct choice.

A — 나갈 (will go out/participate) is derived from '나가다' (to go out, to participate in a competition). This is the correct verb to describe players going to or participating in the World Cup.

B — 볼 (will see) is derived from '보다' (to see). Players don't 'see' the World Cup in this context; they play in it.

C — 살 (will live/buy) is derived from '살다' (to live) or '사다' (to buy). Neither meaning fits the context of players and the World Cup.

D — 잘 (well/good) is an adverb or part of '자다' (to sleep) as a future modifier. It doesn't fit the context here.

정답: B. 응원하러

How to solve: The sentence describes football fans gathering at the stadium for their team. Fans go to the stadium to 'cheer for' their team. The verb '응원하다' means 'to cheer for'. So, '응원하러' (to cheer for) is the most suitable choice.

A — 먹으러 (to eat) is derived from '먹다' (to eat). Fans do not go to the stadium 'to eat' their team.

B — 응원하러 (to cheer for) is derived from '응원하다' (to cheer, to support). This perfectly describes the action of fans at a game.

C — 만들러 (to make) is derived from '만들다' (to make). Fans do not go to the stadium 'to make' their team.

D — 배우러 (to learn) is derived from '배우다' (to learn). Fans do not go to the stadium 'to learn' their team.

정답: B. 경기

How to solve: The question asks when something related to the 2030 World Cup will start. Among the choices, '경기' (match/game) is the most appropriate word to ask about the start time of the actual sporting events.

A — 날씨 (weather) does not fit the context of the World Cup schedule. It asks about when something starts.

B — 경기 (match/game) refers to the individual games or the competition itself. Asking '월드컵 경기는 언제부터 시작됩니까?' means 'When do the World Cup matches start?', which is a natural question.

C — 시간 (time) could be a distractor, but it's too general. We are asking about the start time of specific events within the World Cup, not just any 'time'. '월드컵 시간' is not a natural phrase here.

D — 음식 (food) has no relation to the start time of the World Cup competition.

정답: C. 경기장

How to solve: The sentence states a plan to build something new for the World Cup. The most essential facility for a World Cup is a 'stadium'. Therefore, '경기장' (stadium) is the correct word.

A — 학교 (school) is not directly related to hosting the World Cup.

B — 병원 (hospital) is not a primary facility constructed specifically for a World Cup.

C — 경기장 (stadium) is the primary venue where World Cup matches are played. Building new stadiums is a common part of hosting major sporting events.

D — 시장 (market) has no direct connection to the World Cup infrastructure.
