Correct answer: notion

Explanation: Here you hear "The notion that you". The word after "The" is a word for a thing.

Meaning: "notion" means an idea or thought.

Wrong options:

  • noition: It adds an extra "i". Write "notion". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • motion: It sounds similar but is a different word, not what you heard.
Correct answer: implications

Explanation: The speaker says "major implications for our". "implications" is more than one, so do not forget the s.

Meaning: "implications" means effects or results on something.

Wrong options:

  • implicatons: It leaves out the "i". Check the letters: "implications". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • implication: "implication" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "implications", so write the "s".
Correct answer: eventually

Explanation: You hear "we'll eventually be able". You need a word that tells how, so it ends in ly.

Meaning: "eventually" means in the future or after some time.

Wrong options:

  • eventualy: It leaves out the "l". Check the letters: "eventually". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • eventual: "eventual" is missing the ending. The speaker says "eventually", with "ly" at the end.
Correct answer: replicate

Explanation: Listen for "be able to replicate anything". After "to" the sentence needs an action word.

Meaning: "replicate" means to copy or make the same thing again.

Wrong options:

  • repicate: It leaves out the "l". Check the letters: "replicate". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • duplicate: This is a different word with similar meaning, not the exact word spoken.
Correct answer: phenomenal

Explanation: On the recording you hear "have a phenomenal effect on". You need a describing word, it ends in al.

Meaning: "phenomenal" means very big or amazing in size or effect.

Wrong options:

  • phenominal: It has "i" where the word has "e". Check the letters: "phenomenal". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • phenomena: "phenomena" is missing the ending. The speaker says "phenomenal", with "l" at the end.
Correct answer: eradication

Explanation: Listen again to "the eradication of famine through". The word that fits is a result word and ends in ion.

Meaning: "eradication" means complete removal or destruction of something.

Wrong options:

  • eradacation: It has "a" where the word has "i". The right spelling is "eradication". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • eradicate: "eradicate" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "eradication", which ends in "ion".
