Also,  malaria  is  something  that  is  a  very  complex  disease  with  this  complex  life  cycle.  That  means  that  if  you're  going  to    it,  you  have  to  be  able  to  target  cute  parasites  and  humans.  You  have  to  be  able  to  target  parasites  in  the  mosquitoes,  that  mosquito  .  And  so  that  requires  a  lot  of  resources.  It  requires  really  good  planning  and  a  health  system  across  all  these  different  .  And  so  I  think  the  political  capital  that  you  need  for  that,  the  educational    you  need  for  that,  the  economic  resources  you  need  for  that  are  quite  a  .

Correct answer: eliminate

Explanation: On the recording you hear "going to eliminate it". You need an action word that means remove completely.

Meaning: "eliminate" means to remove completely.

Wrong options:

  • elimanate: It has "a" where the word has "i". Check the letters: "eliminate". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • eliminated: "eliminated" has an extra "d" at the end. The speaker says "eliminate".
Correct answer: population

Explanation: Listen again to "that mosquito population". It comes after 'mosquito', so you need a word for a group that ends in ion.

Meaning: "population" means the group of those mosquitoes.

Wrong options:

  • populaton: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "population". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • populations: "populations" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "population", with no "s".
Correct answer: levels

Explanation: Here you hear "different levels". After 'these' you need more than one, so the word ends in s.

Meaning: "levels" means different stages or degrees across places.

Wrong options:

  • levles: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "levels". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • level: "level" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "levels", so write the "s".
Correct answer: infrastructure

Explanation: The speaker says "educational infrastructure you need". It comes after 'educational', so you need a word for the systems and services, ends in ture.

Meaning: "infrastructure" means the basic systems and services needed for health work.

Wrong options:

  • infrastruxture: It has "x" where the word has "c". The right spelling is "infrastructure". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: challenge

Explanation: You hear "are quite a challenge". It comes after 'a', so you need a word for a difficult thing.

Meaning: "challenge" means a difficult task or problem.

Wrong options:

  • chalenge: It leaves out the "l". The right spelling is "challenge". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • chance: This word means an opportunity, not a difficult task.
