TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [vocabulary] 1–5 (7/21/2026) – in n out

정답: C. 에

How to solve: The verb '들어오다' means 'to come in'. When indicating the destination or place someone enters, the particle '에' is used with the noun representing the destination.

A — '에서' indicates the starting point of an action ('from') or the location where an action takes place. Here, '교실' is the destination, not the starting point or location of the action itself.

B — '로' indicates direction or means. While it can mean 'to', '에' is more natural and common for indicating the destination with verbs like '들어오다'.

C — '에' is the correct particle to indicate the destination when someone 'comes in' ('들어오다') to a place.

D — '으로' is similar to '로' and indicates direction or means. It's not the most natural choice for a simple destination with '들어오다'.

정답: B. 안

How to solve: The sentence describes being 'at home'. The most natural and common way to express being inside a place is by using '안'. Given the choices, '안' is the appropriate word to indicate 'inside'.

A — '밖에' means 'outside'. If you are '밖에', you are not 'at home' in the sense of being inside the house.

B — '안' means 'inside'. '집 안에 있다' means 'to be inside the house', which fits the context of being 'at home'.

C — '아래' means 'below' or 'under'. It does not fit the context of being 'at home' unless referring to a specific position relative to something.

D — '위' means 'above' or 'on top of'. It does not fit the context of being 'at home' in general.

정답: B. 입구

How to solve: The phrase '들어오세요' (Please come in) clearly indicates a place for entering. Therefore, the blank should be filled with the word for 'entrance'.

A — '출구' means 'exit', which is for going out, not coming in.

B — '입구' means 'entrance', which is the correct word for a place where one enters.

C — '복도' means 'hallway'. While it's inside a building, it's not the primary point of entry.

D — '창문' means 'window'. People do not typically enter a building through a window.

정답: B. 에서

How to solve: The verb '나가다' means 'to go out'. When indicating the place from which someone departs or exits, the particle '에서' is used with the noun representing the place.

A — '에' is used for destination or location of existence, not for the starting point of an exit.

B — '에서' correctly indicates the place 'from' which an action (going out) occurs.

C — '로' indicates direction. While '교실로 나가다' could imply going out towards the classroom (which is contradictory in this context), it's not the primary particle for indicating the origin of exiting.

D — '까지' means 'until' or 'up to a point', which does not fit the context of exiting a place.

정답: A. 들어오면

How to solve: To borrow books from the library, you must first enter it. The conditional '-(으)면' is used to express 'if/when'. Therefore, '들어오면' (if you come in / enter) is the most logical choice.

A — '들어오면' means 'if/when you come in (enter)'. This is a necessary condition to borrow books from a library.

B — '나가면' means 'if/when you go out'. This would not allow you to borrow books.

C — '앉으면' means 'if/when you sit'. Sitting does not directly enable borrowing books, although you might sit after entering.

D — '읽으면' means 'if/when you read'. Reading is something you do with books, but you need to borrow them first, which requires entering the library.
