Correct answer: right

Explanation: Here you hear "make the right decisions". You need a describing word for good or correct.

Meaning: "right" means correct or proper here.

Wrong options:

  • rigth: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "right". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • rite: This is a different word and not the meaning needed here.
Correct answer: initially

Explanation: The speaker says "a right decision initially turned". The word tells when, so it ends in ly.

Meaning: "initially" means at first or at the start.

Wrong options:

  • initally: It leaves out the "i". Write "initially". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • initial: "initial" is missing the ending. The speaker says "initially", with "ly" at the end.
Correct answer: team

Explanation: You hear "find a team because you". It comes after "a", so you need a word for a group of people.

Meaning: "team" means a group of people working together.

Wrong options:

  • teem: This is a different word with another meaning and is not correct here.
Correct answer: information

Explanation: Listen for "take sufficient information before". It comes after a describing word, so you need a thing word.

Meaning: "information" means facts or data you need.

Wrong options:

  • infomation: It leaves out the "r". Check the letters: "information". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • infromation: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "information". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: rigorous
