Correct answer: genetic

Explanation: The speaker says "there is a genetic reason". A describing word about genes.

Meaning: "genetic" means about genes or family traits.

Wrong options:

  • ganetic: It has "a" where the word has "e". Check the letters: "genetic". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • genetics: "genetics" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "genetic", with no "s".
Correct answer: intelligence

Explanation: You hear "measurable level of intelligence". It comes after "level of", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "intelligence" means the ability to think and learn.

Wrong options:

  • inteligence: It leaves out the "l". The right spelling is "intelligence". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • intelligent: "intelligent" is a close word, but it ends in "t". The speaker says "intelligence", which ends in "ce".
Correct answer: process

Explanation: Listen for "teaching and learning process within". It comes after "learning", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "process" means the way teaching and learning are done.

Wrong options:

  • proces: It leaves out the "s". The right spelling is "process". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • processes: "processes" has an extra "es" at the end. The speaker says "process", with no "es".
Correct answer: assessed

Explanation: On the recording you hear "organized, administered and assessed". This already happened, so the word ends in ed.

Meaning: "assessed" means checked or judged.

Wrong options:

  • assesed: It leaves out the "s". Write "assessed". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • accessed: 'Accessed' means gained entry, not checked or judged, so it is wrong here.
