Correct answer: service

Explanation: You hear "they're service dogs and". The sentence needs the word for that type of dog.

Meaning: "service" means a dog trained to help with a disability.

Wrong options:

  • serivce: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "service". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • services: "services" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "service", with no "s".
Correct answer: companion

Explanation: Listen for "are companion animals that". It comes after "are", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "companion" means a pet that gives comfort and company.

Wrong options:

  • companien: It has "e" where the word has "o". Write "companion". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • company: "company" is a close word, but it ends in "y". The speaker says "companion", which ends in "ion".
Correct answer: loneliness

Explanation: On the recording you hear "may reduce loneliness, they may help". You need a feeling word that ends in ness.

Meaning: "loneliness" means the feeling of being alone or isolated.

Wrong options:

  • lonliness: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "loneliness". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • lonely: "lonely" is a close word, but it ends in "y". The speaker says "loneliness", which ends in "iness".
Correct answer: trained

Explanation: Listen again to "dogs who are trained to form". This already happened, so the word ends in ed.

Meaning: "trained" means taught to do specific tasks.

Wrong options:

  • traineed: It adds an extra "e". The right spelling is "trained". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • training: "training" is a close word, but it ends in "ing". The speaker says "trained", which ends in "ed".
Correct answer: protection

Explanation: Here you hear "legal protection under the". It comes after "legal", so you need a thing that ends in tion.

Meaning: "protection" means legal safety or rights given by law.

Wrong options:

  • protction: It leaves out the "e". The right spelling is "protection". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: accommodation

Explanation: The speaker says "reasonable accommodation for disability". The word ends in tion and means a thing provided.

Meaning: "accommodation" means a change or allowance for a disability.

Wrong options:

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