AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Correct answer: definition

Explanation: The speaker says "classical or modernistic definition". It comes after "modernistic", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "definition" means the meaning or explanation of something here.

Wrong options:

  • defintion: It leaves out the "i". Write "definition". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • definitions: "definitions" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "definition", with no "s".
Correct answer: radically

Explanation: You hear "economic organization, radically opposed to". It tells how, so the word ends in ly.

Meaning: "radically" means in a very big or extreme way.

Wrong options:

  • radicaly: It leaves out the "l". The right spelling is "radically". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • radical: "radical" is missing the ending. The speaker says "radically", with "ly" at the end.
Correct answer: economists

Explanation: Listen for "The so called orthodox economists". It comes after "orthodox", so you need more than one. Do not forget the s at the end.

Meaning: "economists" means people who study or work in economics.

Wrong options:

  • ecomomists: It has "m" where the word has "n". Check the letters: "economists". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • economist: "economist" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "economists", so write the "s".
Correct answer: capitalistic

Explanation: On the recording you hear "accepted the capitalistic system as". The word names the system and ends in ic.

Meaning: "capitalistic" means based on private capital and market systems.

Wrong options:

  • capitalistc: It leaves out the "i". Check the letters: "capitalistic". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • capitalist: "capitalist" is missing the ending. The speaker says "capitalistic", with "ic" at the end.
Correct answer: peculiar

Explanation: Listen again to "analyze the peculiar operations incident". It describes the operations, so you need a describing word.

Meaning: "peculiar" means odd or specific to that system.

Wrong options:

  • pecular: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "peculiar". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • special: That gives a different meaning and does not match the idea here.
