Meaning: "reflected" means shown in or part of something.

Wrong options:

• refelcted: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "reflected". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• reflect: "reflect" is missing the ending. The speaker says "reflected", with "ed" at the end.

Correct answer: boost

Explanation: The speaker says "doesn't provide the same boost for". You need a short word for an increase or help.

Meaning: "boost" means an increase or help to something.

Wrong options:

• bost: It leaves out the "o". Check the letters: "boost". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• boast: This is a different word that means to brag, not to help.

Correct answer: equal

Explanation: You hear "a dose equal to almost three". The word means the same amount, it ends in al.

Meaning: "equal" means the same in amount or value.

Wrong options:

• equals: "equals" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "equal", with no "s".

Correct answer: string

Explanation: Listen for "if a string formed a word". After "if a" you need a word for a thing made of letters.

Meaning: "string" means a group of letters shown together.

Wrong options:

• streing: It adds an extra "e". Check the letters: "string". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• sting: This is a different word with a different meaning.
