Meaning: "satisfaction" means pleasure or content.

Wrong options:

• satisfication: It adds an extra "ic" and it leaves out the "c". The right spelling is "satisfaction". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• satisfactory: "satisfactory" is a close word, but it ends in "ory". The speaker says "satisfaction", which ends in "ion".

Correct answer: studiously

Explanation: Listen for "I mind my belly very studiously". You need a word that tells how, so it ends in ly.

Meaning: "studiously" means with care and attention.

Wrong options:

• studiosly: It leaves out the "u". Write "studiously". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• seriously: This word means being grave, not the careful way of doing something.

Correct answer: vehement

Explanation: On the recording you hear "not only serious but vehement". It is a strong describing word and it ends in ent.

Meaning: "vehement" means very strong or forceful.

Wrong options:

• vehment: It leaves out the "e". Write "vehement". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• vehemently: "vehemently" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "vehement".

Correct answer: gulosity

Explanation: Listen again to "a masterly essay against gulosity". It comes after "against", so you need a word for a thing that ends in ity.

Meaning: "gulosity" means extreme greed for food.

Wrong options:

• glosity: It leaves out the "u". Check the letters: "gulosity". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.

Correct answer: relished

Explanation: Here you hear "who relished good eating more than he did". This already happened, so the word ends in ed.

Meaning: "relished" means enjoyed a lot.

Wrong options:

• releished: It adds an extra "e". The right spelling is "relished". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• relishes: "relishes" is a close word, but it ends in "s". The speaker says "relished", which ends in "d".
