TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [vocabulary] 1–5 (8/13/2026) – palworld patch notes

정답: A. 버그

How to solve: The sentence states that several in-game issues have been resolved. '수정' means 'fix' or 'correction'. Among the choices, '버그' (bug) is the most appropriate word to be 'fixed' in a game patch context to resolve issues.

A — Correct. '버그 수정' (bug fix) is a common phrase in game patch notes, referring to the correction of errors that cause problems.

B — Incorrect. '기능' (feature/function) refers to a capability of the game. While functions can be modified, '기능 수정' doesn't directly imply solving 'problems' in the same way 'bug fix' does.

C — Incorrect. '아이템' (item) refers to objects in the game. Items might be added or changed, but 'item fix' is not the standard term for resolving general game problems.

D — Incorrect. '퀘스트' (quest) refers to missions in the game. Quests might have bugs, but '퀘스트 수정' isn't the overarching term for resolving 'several in-game issues'.

정답: B. 업데이트

How to solve: The sentence indicates that game content has become richer because something new was released. In the context of games and patch notes, '업데이트' (update) is the most suitable word for new content being released.

A — Incorrect. '예약' (reservation) is unrelated to new game content releases.

B — Correct. '업데이트' (update) refers to new versions or patches that add content or make changes, fitting the context of enriching game content.

C — Incorrect. '환불' (refund) is a financial transaction and has no relation to game content becoming richer.

D — Incorrect. '설문' (survey) is a method of collecting opinions, not a release of game content.

정답: C. 개선

How to solve: The sentence states that the overall performance of the game was [blank] through the patch. Patches are generally released to improve the game. Therefore, a word indicating improvement is needed.

A — Incorrect. '악화' (worsening) is the opposite of what a patch aims to do for performance.

B — Incorrect. '감소' (decrease) implies a negative change in performance, which is not the goal of a patch.

C — Correct. '개선' (improvement) is a common outcome of game patches, especially regarding performance.

D — Incorrect. '중단' (suspension/halt) means stopping something, which does not fit the context of performance being affected by a patch.

정답: C. 조정

How to solve: The sentence explains that the balance of some Pal skills was [blank], making gameplay fairer. When talking about 'balance' in games, the appropriate action to make it fairer is to 'adjust' it.

A — Incorrect. '파괴' (destruction) is not an action taken on 'balance' in this context.

B — Incorrect. '포기' (give up) does not fit with modifying game balance.

C — Correct. '조정' (adjustment) is the most suitable word for modifying game balance to make it fairer.

D — Incorrect. '고정' (fix/set) means to make something unchangeable, which wouldn't necessarily lead to 'fairer' play after a balance issue.

정답: B. 추가

How to solve: The sentence states that 'explorable places have increased' because a new area was [blank] to the game. When new content like areas are brought into a game, they are 'added'.

A — Incorrect. '삭제' (deletion) would decrease, not increase, explorable places.

B — Correct. '추가' (addition) means to add something new, which directly leads to more explorable places.

C — Incorrect. '분리' (separation) means to divide or detach, which doesn't fit the context of adding new areas that increase exploration.

D — Incorrect. '변경' (change) means to modify an existing item, but here a 'new region' is introduced, implying addition, not just modification of an existing one.
