Meaning: "practice" means a usual activity or way of doing something.

Wrong options:

• pratice: It leaves out the "c". Write "practice". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• practices: "practices" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "practice", with no "s".

Correct answer: conspicuous

Explanation: Here you hear "reappear with a certain amount of conspicuous". You need a describing word that ends in ous.

Meaning: "conspicuous" means easy to see or clearly noticed here.

Wrong options:

• conspicous: It leaves out the "u". Check the letters: "conspicuous". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• conscious: That word means aware, not that something is easy to see.

Correct answer: cemetery

Explanation: The speaker says "the royal cemetery consists of". You need a word for a place where people are buried.

Meaning: "cemetery" means a place where burials take place.

Wrong options:

• cemetary: It has "a" where the word has "e". Write "cemetery". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• cemeteries: "cemeteries" is a close word, but it ends in "ies". The speaker says "cemetery", which ends in "y".

Correct answer: excavation

Meaning: "excavation" means the act of digging out or making a hole in the ground.

Wrong options:

• excavasion: It has "s" where the word has "t". Check the letters: "excavation". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• excavator: "excavator" is a close word, but it ends in "or". The speaker says "excavation", which ends in "ion".

Correct answer: chambers

Explanation: Listen for "construct these chambers." It wants more than one, so add s at the end.

Meaning: "chambers" means enclosed spaces or rooms, here in the burial area.

Wrong options:

• chammbers: It adds an extra "m". The right spelling is "chambers". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• chamber: "chamber" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "chambers", so write the "s".
