Meaning: "producing" means making or creating something.

Wrong options:

• produsing: It has "s" where the word has "c". Write "producing". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• produce: "produce" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "producing", which ends in "ing".

Correct answer: widely

Explanation: On the recording you hear "iron was not as widely used". You need a word that tells how much, so it ends in ly.

Meaning: "widely" means to a large degree or by many people.

Wrong options:

• widly: It leaves out the "e". The right spelling is "widely". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• wide: "wide" is missing the ending. The speaker says "widely", with "ly" at the end.

Correct answer: large

Explanation: Listen again to "made large quantities of the metal". The word comes before "quantities", so it names size.

Meaning: "large" means big in amount or size.

Wrong options:

• larg: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "large". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• larger: "larger" has an extra "r" at the end. The speaker says "large".

Correct answer: including

Explanation: Here you hear "was created, including the Bessemer". You need a word that introduces examples and ends in ing.

Meaning: "including" means listing examples or parts of a group.

Wrong options:

• inluding: It leaves out the "c". Write "including". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• include: "include" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "including", which ends in "ing".

Correct answer: large

Wrong options:

• larg: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "large". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• larger: "larger" has an extra "r" at the end. The speaker says "large".
