Meaning: "complicating" means making something more difficult or messy.

Wrong options:

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

Correct answer: military

Explanation: Listen again to "allowing the military to be deployed". It comes after "the", so you need a word for a force or group.

Meaning: "military" means the armed forces of a country.

Wrong options:

• milatary: It has "a" where the word has "i". Write "military". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.

Correct answer: curb

Explanation: Here you hear "to curb the rising use". You need a short action word, no extra ending.

Meaning: "curb" means to limit or reduce something.

Wrong options:

• curbe: It adds an extra "e". The right spelling is "curb". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• curve: This word sounds similar but is different from the word in the recording.

Correct answer: devices

Explanation: The speaker says "large refillable vaping devices are completely". After "vaping" you need a thing word, and it is more than one so add s.

Meaning: "devices" means machines or tools used for vaping.

Wrong options:

• devives: It has "v" where the word has "c". Check the letters: "devices". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
