Meaning: "migration" means movement of people from one place to another.

Wrong options:

• migraton: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "migration". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• immigration: This is a different word students type by sound. The sentence needs the general movement word.

Correct answer: recruited

Explanation: The speaker says "Chinese laborers were recruited to build". This is an action word and it already happened, so it ends in ed.

Meaning: "recruited" means hired or asked to join work.

Wrong options:

• recruted: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "recruited". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• required: This is a different word students type by sound. It means needed, not hired.

Correct answer: plantations

Explanation: You hear "labored in Hawaiian plantations, California farms". It comes after "Hawaiian", so you need a place word and more than one.

Meaning: "plantations" means large farms where many workers labored.

Wrong options:

• plantantions: It adds an extra "n". Check the letters: "plantations". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• plantation: "plantation" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "plantations", so write the "s".

Correct answer: allowed

Explanation: Listen for "only the Japanese were allowed to immigrate". This already happened, so the word ends in ed.

Meaning: "allowed" means given permission to do something.

Wrong options:

• alowed: It leaves out the "l". Write "allowed". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.

Correct answer: bachelor

Explanation: On the recording you hear "largely bachelor communities of". It comes before "communities", so you need a word for the type of community.

Meaning: "bachelor" means made up mainly of single men.

Wrong options:

• bacherlor: It adds an extra "r". The right spelling is "bachelor". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• bachelors: "bachelors" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "bachelor", with no "s".

Correct answer: temporary

Explanation: Listen again to "communities of temporary sojourners". You need a describing word and it ends in ary.

Meaning: "temporary" means lasting for a short time.

Wrong options:

• tempory: It leaves out the "ar". The right spelling is "temporary". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• temporarily: "temporarily" is a close word, but it ends in "ily". The speaker says "temporary", which ends in "y".
