TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [vocabulary] 1–5 (8/2/2026) – mason miller

정답: D. 매일

How to solve: The sentence states that Mason Miller studies hard. We need a word that indicates frequency or regularity in studying. "하지만" (but), "그리고" (and), "그래서" (so) are conjunctions that connect sentences or clauses, not suitable for describing how often someone studies. "매일" (every day) means daily, which fits the context of studying hard regularly.

A — "하지만" means 'but' and is a conjunction used to introduce a contrasting idea. It doesn't fit the context of how often someone studies.

B — "그리고" means 'and' and is a conjunction used to connect two related ideas or list items. It's not suitable here.

C — "그래서" means 'so' or 'therefore' and is a conjunction used to indicate a result or consequence. It doesn't fit the blank.

D — "매일" means 'every day' and describes the frequency of studying, making the sentence logically complete and correct.

정답: C. 상냥한

How to solve: The first part of the sentence states that Mason Miller is kind ("친절해서") and has many friends. We need an adjective that describes a person who is kind or gentle. "상냥한" is a synonym for kind or gentle, fitting the description.

A — "똑똑한" means 'smart' or 'clever'. While a smart person might have friends, it's not directly implied by "친절해서".

B — "바쁜" means 'busy'. This doesn't relate to having many friends because of kindness.

C — "상냥한" means 'gentle', 'kind', or 'amiable'. This directly aligns with "친절해서" (being kind) and having many friends.

D — "조용한" means 'quiet'. A quiet person might not necessarily have many friends due to kindness.

정답: B. 역할

How to solve: The sentence talks about Mason Miller at a company ("회사에서") and taking on something important ("중요한"). When someone takes on something important at a company, it usually refers to a role or responsibility. "역할" means role.

A — "취미" means 'hobby'. This is not something one "takes on" as important at a company.

B — "역할" means 'role' or 'part'. This fits perfectly with "중요한 역할을 맡고 있습니다" (is taking on an important role).

C — "음식" means 'food'. This is irrelevant to taking on something important at a company.

D — "시간" means 'time'. While time is important, it's not something one "takes on" in this context.

정답: B. 공원

How to solve: The sentence describes Mason Miller exercising ("운동을 합니다") every weekend ("주말마다"). We need a common place where people exercise. A park ("공원") is a very common place for outdoor exercise.

A — "도서관" means 'library', a place for reading and studying, not typically for exercise.

B — "공원" means 'park'. Parks are common places for exercise like jogging, walking, or playing sports.

C — "백화점" means 'department store', a place for shopping.

D — "병원" means 'hospital', a place for medical treatment.

정답: D. 가요

How to solve: The sentence states that Mason Miller is tired after work ("퇴근 후에 피곤해서") and immediately ("바로") does something home ("집에"). The most natural verb to complete "집에" (to home) when one is tired and leaving work is "goes" or "goes home." "가요" means 'goes'.

A — "먹어요" means 'eats'. While one might eat at home, "집에 먹어요" is grammatically awkward for "eats at home". It would be "집에서 먹어요" or "집에 가서 먹어요".

B — "와요" means 'comes'. This would be correct if the speaker is at home, but from the perspective of leaving work, "goes" is more appropriate.

C — "자요" means 'sleeps'. While one sleeps at home, the blank is for the action of *going* home. "집에 자요" is not correct. It would be "집에 가서 자요".

D — "가요" means 'goes'. "집에 가요" means 'goes home', which perfectly fits the context of leaving work when tired.
