Meaning: "relative" means not the same for everyone, it depends on the person.

Wrong options:

• relitive: It has "i" where the word has "a". The right spelling is "relative". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• relatively: "relatively" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "relative".

Correct answer: determining

Explanation: The speaker says "seen as a determining factor". The word before "factor" is an action word that ends in ing.

Meaning: "determining" means deciding or affecting the outcome.

Wrong options:

• determing: It leaves out the "in". Check the letters: "determining". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• determinant: "determinant" is a close word, but it ends in "ant". The speaker says "determining", which ends in "ing".

Correct answer: dependence

Explanation: You hear "ill-health and dependence were". The needed word is a thing word, not an action.

Meaning: "dependence" means needing help from other people.

Wrong options:

• dependance: It has "a" where the word has "e". Check the letters: "dependence". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• dependency: "dependency" is a close word, but it ends in "y". The speaker says "dependence", which ends in "e".

Correct answer: majority

Explanation: Listen for "The majority of participants". The sentence needs a word that means most people.

Meaning: "majority" means most of the group.

Wrong options:

• majoraty: It has "a" where the word has "i". The right spelling is "majority". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• minority: This word means the opposite, fewer people, so it is wrong here.

Correct answer: growing

Explanation: On the recording you hear "fear of growing old". After "of" you need an action word that ends in ing.

Wrong options:

• growning: It adds an extra "n". Check the letters: "growing". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
