Correct answer: subscribes

Explanation: Here you hear "The university subscribes to". After "university" you need an action word that shows what it does now.

Meaning: "subscribes" means pays to get access.

Wrong options:

  • suscribes: It leaves out the "b". The right spelling is "subscribes". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • subscribed: "subscribed" is a close word, but it ends in "d". The speaker says "subscribes", which ends in "s".
Correct answer: electronically

Explanation: The speaker says "available electronically to". You need a word that tells how, so the word ends in ly.

Meaning: "electronically" means by computer or the internet.

Wrong options:

  • electronicly: It leaves out the "al". Write "electronically". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • electronic: "electronic" is missing the ending. The speaker says "electronically", with "ally" at the end.
Correct answer: search

Explanation: You hear "We need to search by". Use the base action, not the form that ends in ing.

Meaning: "search" means look for something.

Wrong options:

  • serach: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "search". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • searching: "searching" has an extra "ing" at the end. The speaker says "search".
Correct answer: listed

Explanation: Listen for "titles are not listed in". The word ends in ed.

Meaning: "listed" means written or shown in the catalog.

Wrong options:

  • listd: It leaves out the "e". The right spelling is "listed". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • listing: "listing" is a close word, but it ends in "ing". The speaker says "listed", which ends in "ed".
