Meaning: "definitive" means final or exact.

Wrong options:

• definitve: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "definitive". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• definite: "definite" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "definitive", which ends in "ive".

Correct answer: assess

Explanation: Listen again to "I wish to assess your critical thinking ability". You need an action word that means judge or test.

Meaning: "assess" means to judge or test.

Wrong options:

• asses: It leaves out the "s". Write "assess". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• access: "Access" means to get into something, not to judge or test.

Correct answer: well-organized

Explanation: Here you hear "a well-organized answer". You need a describing word made of two words joined together.

Meaning: "well-organized" means in good order and clearly arranged.

Wrong options:

• well organized: This has no hyphen, but the text uses the joined form here.

Correct answer: results

Explanation: The speaker says "compile notes and lab test results". It comes after "lab test", so you need a thing word and more than one.

Meaning: "results" means the outcomes or findings from tests or work.

Wrong options:

• resuts: It leaves out the "l". Write "results". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• result: "result" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "results", so write the "s".

Correct answer: outlines

Explanation: You hear "write trial outlines before the exam". You need more than one plan, so add s at the end.

Meaning: "outlines" means brief plans or main points to follow.

Wrong options:

• outines: It leaves out the "l". The right spelling is "outlines". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• outline: "outline" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "outlines", so write the "s".
