Meaning: "material" means physical things or stuff.

Wrong options:

• materiel: It has "e" where the word has "a". Check the letters: "material". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• immaterial: This is the opposite idea, not physical things.

Correct answer: commitment

Explanation: On the recording you hear "is a commitment an". After "a" you need a word for a thing, person or idea.

Meaning: "commitment" means a promise or firm choice.

Wrong options:

• committment: It adds an extra "t". The right spelling is "commitment". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• commit: "commit" is missing the ending. The speaker says "commitment", with "ment" at the end.

Correct answer: permeate

Explanation: Listen again to "Beliefs permeate neurobiologies". You need an action word that ends in ate.

Meaning: "permeate" means to spread through or fill completely.

Wrong options:

• permeat: It leaves out the "e". Write "permeate". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• penetrate: This is a different action with a different shade of meaning.

Correct answer: specifics

Explanation: Here you hear "the specifics of belief". After "the" the sentence needs more than one detail.

Meaning: "specifics" means the exact details or particular points.

Wrong options:

• specifices: It adds an extra "e". The right spelling is "specifics". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• specific: "specific" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "specifics", so write the "s".
