Meaning: "animal" means a living creature like a fish.

Wrong options:

• animel: It has "e" where the word has "a". Write "animal". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• animals: "animals" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "animal", with no "s".

Correct answer: reputation

Explanation: On the recording you hear "developed a reputation as". It comes after "developed a", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "reputation" means what people think about someone or something.

Wrong options:

• reputaiton: Two letters are in the wrong order. The right spelling is "reputation". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• repute: "repute" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "reputation", which ends in "ation".

Correct answer: flesh

Explanation: Listen again to "prey of their flesh". The missing word comes after "their", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "flesh" means the soft part of an animal body, meat.

Correct answer: smaller

Explanation: Here you hear "mostly eat smaller fish". You need a describing word, it ends in er.

Meaning: "smaller" means not as big, more little in size.

Wrong options:

• smaler: It leaves out the "l". Check the letters: "smaller". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• small: "small" is missing the ending. The speaker says "smaller", with "er" at the end.

Correct answer: groups

Explanation: The speaker says "swim about in large groups, not". You need more than one, so do not forget the s at the end.

Meaning: "groups" means many fish swimming together.

Wrong options:

• grups: It leaves out the "o". Write "groups". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• group: "group" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "groups", so write the "s".
