Meaning: "permanent" means lasting a long time.

Correct answer: befriended

Explanation: You hear "who later was befriended by Pocahontas". This already happened, so the word ends in ed.

Meaning: "befriended" means became friends with someone.

Wrong options:

• befrended: It leaves out the "i". Write "befriended". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• befriend: "befriend" is missing the ending. The speaker says "befriended", with "ed" at the end.

Correct answer: Atlantic

Explanation: Listen for "the Pilgrims crossed the Atlantic on". It comes after "crossed the", so you need a place name.

Meaning: "Atlantic" means the ocean between Europe and America.

Wrong options:

• Atlantc: It leaves out the "i". Check the letters: "Atlantic". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.

Correct answer: uncover

Explanation: On the recording you hear "has been working to uncover the secrets". It follows "working to", so you need the plain word.

Meaning: "uncover" means to find out or reveal hidden things.

Wrong options:

• uncouver: It adds an extra "u". Check the letters: "uncover". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• discover: This is a different word, so it does not match the exact word heard.
