Reading Passage

It rained heavily yesterday. Today, the sky is clear and the weather is warm.
Answer Choices
① 계절
② 날씨
③ 시간
④ 날짜
3. Correct Answer
✅ ② 날씨 (Weather)
The correct answer is ② because the passage describes the weather on two different days.
4. Detailed Explanation
The passage explains that it rained heavily yesterday, but today the sky is clear and the weather is warm.
The key phrases are "비가 많이 왔습니다" (It rained heavily) and "하늘이 맑고 따뜻합니다" (The sky is clear and the weather is warm).
Both expressions describe weather conditions. Therefore, the main topic of the passage is "날씨" (weather), making option ② the correct answer.
Let's look at the answer choices:
| Answer | Meaning | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| ① 계절 | Season | The passage does not mention a specific season. |
| ② 날씨 ✅ | Weather | Correctly describes the main topic of the passage. |
| ③ 시간 | Time | The passage compares yesterday and today but does not focus on time. |
| ④ 날짜 | Date | The passage does not mention any specific dates. |
Remember: In TOPIK I Reading, focus on the main idea rather than individual words. When several sentences describe rain, clear skies, or temperature, the main topic is likely to be "날씨" (weather).
