Meaning: "evident" means clear or easy to see.

Wrong options:

• evidant: It has "a" where the word has "e". Write "evident". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• evidently: "evidently" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "evident".

Correct answer: opposite

Explanation: The speaker says "either the opposite or the". It comes after the, so you need a word for position.

Meaning: "opposite" means on the other side or facing each other.

Wrong options:

• oposite: It leaves out the "p". Write "opposite". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.

Correct answer: attached

Explanation: You hear "three or more leaves attached to". After a number of leaves, you need an action word that shows connection, so it ends in ed.

Meaning: "attached" means joined or fixed to the stalk.

Wrong options:

• attatched: It adds an extra "t". The right spelling is "attached". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.

Correct answer: node

Explanation: Listen for "more than three leaves at the same node, and it". It comes after same, so you need a word for a place on the plant.

Meaning: "node" means the point on the stem where leaves grow.

Wrong options:

• ode: It leaves out the "n". Write "node". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• nod: This is an action meaning to move the head, not the part of a plant.

Correct answer: ground

Explanation: On the recording you hear "many ground covers". It comes before covers, so you need a word for earth.

Meaning: "ground" means the surface of the earth near plants.

Wrong options:

• groud: It leaves out the "n". Check the letters: "ground". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
