Meaning: "adopted" means agreed to start or accept.

Wrong options:

• adpted: It leaves out the "o". Check the letters: "adopted". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.

Correct answer: eventually

Explanation: Listen for "but was eventually reconfigured to". You need a word that tells when, so it ends in ly.

Meaning: "eventually" means later on, after some time.

Wrong options:

• eventualy: It leaves out the "l". Check the letters: "eventually". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.

Correct answer: vulnerable

Explanation: On the recording you hear "in a vulnerable situation". It comes after "a", so you need a describing word that ends in ble.

Meaning: "vulnerable" means weak or easy to hurt or harm.

Wrong options:

• vulnerible: It has "i" where the word has "a". Write "vulnerable". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• vulnerably: "vulnerably" is a close word, but it ends in "y". The speaker says "vulnerable", which ends in "e".

Correct answer: consequences

Explanation: Listen again to "economic consequences of the". You need a word for more than one, ending in ces.

Meaning: "consequences" means results or effects.

Wrong options:

• consequnces: It leaves out the "e". Write "consequences". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• consequence: "consequence" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "consequences", so write the "s".
