Wrong options:

• sumer: It leaves out the "m". The right spelling is "summer". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.

Correct answer: access

• excess: Different word. "Excess" means too much, not getting in.

Correct answer: opening

• openings: "openings" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "opening", with no "s".
