Reading Passage

어제는 비가 많이 왔습니다. 오늘은 하늘이 맑고 따뜻합니다.

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:

AnswerMeaningExplanation
① 계절SeasonThe passage does not mention a specific season.
② 날씨 ✅WeatherCorrectly describes the main topic of the passage.
③ 시간TimeThe passage compares yesterday and today but does not focus on time.
④ 날짜DateThe 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).
