According  to  a  research  published  in  the  research  journal  'SOLP  Two',    to  an  appearance  in  a  reference  book,  the  brain  documents  a  word  like  'whisk',  linking  it  with  concepts  such  as  'animate'  and  'kitchen  appliance'.  "Moreover,  the  brain    the  word  to  one's  own  experience  -  how  a  whisk  perceives,  for  instance,  and  that  a    movement  is  interconnected  to  it,"  said  the  researchers.  The  study  was  orchestrated  with  40  participants,  and  it  was    that  when  the  study  participants  had  to  grasp  an  object  while  reading,  their  brain  processed  parts  of  the  meaning  of  the  words  earlier  than  in  previous  researches  in  which  words  were    without  something  being  grasped.

Correct answer: similar

Explanation: Listen again to "SOLP Two', similar to an". You need a describing word meaning like.

Meaning: "similar" means much the same or like.

Wrong options:

  • similer: It has "e" where the word has "a". The right spelling is "similar". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • similarity: "similarity" has an extra "ity" at the end. The speaker says "similar".
Correct answer: connects

Explanation: Here you hear "Moreover, the brain connects the". It is an action word and ends in s.

Meaning: "connects" means joins or links together.

Wrong options:

  • conects: It leaves out the "n". The right spelling is "connects". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • connect: "connect" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "connects", so write the "s".
Correct answer: spinning

Explanation: The speaker says "that a spinning movement is". You need a describing word that ends in ing.

Meaning: "spinning" means turning around quickly.

Wrong options:

  • spinining: It adds an extra "i". Write "spinning". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • spinned: "spinned" is a close word, but it ends in "ed". The speaker says "spinning", which ends in "ing".
Correct answer: observed

Explanation: You hear "it was observed that when". This already happened, so the word ends in ed.

Meaning: "observed" means noticed during the study.

Wrong options:

  • observd: It leaves out the "e". The right spelling is "observed". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: evaluated

Explanation: Listen for "words were evaluated without something". The action already happened, so it ends in ed.

Meaning: "evaluated" means judged or tested.

Wrong options:

  • evaluted: It leaves out the "a". Write "evaluated". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
