Meaning: "inundated" means covered with water.

Wrong options:

• innundated: It adds an extra "n". The right spelling is "inundated". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• inundaded: It has "d" where the word has "t". The right spelling is "inundated". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.

Correct answer: ensured

Explanation: Listen for "not ensured by proper insurance". The sentence uses a word about protection that ends in ed.

Meaning: "ensured" means made certain or protected here.

Wrong options:

• insured: This is a different word. The recording used a form that ends in ed.
• ensureed: It adds an extra "e". The right spelling is "ensured". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.

Correct answer: properties

Explanation: On the recording you hear "value of those properties are going". The word comes after "those", so you need more than one and do not forget the s.

Meaning: "properties" means pieces of land or buildings, more than one.

Wrong options:

• property: "property" is a close word, but it ends in "y". The speaker says "properties", which ends in "ies".

Correct answer: compensate

Explanation: Listen again to "who would compensate them". After "would" you need the plain word with no ed.

Meaning: "compensate" means to give money for a loss.

Wrong options:

• compesate: It leaves out the "n". The right spelling is "compensate". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• compensated: "compensated" has an extra "d" at the end. The speaker says "compensate".
