Correct answer: sponsoring

Explanation: On the recording you hear "is sponsoring a nationwide campaign". It comes after "is", so the word ends in ing.

Meaning: "sponsoring" means paying for or supporting something.

Wrong options:

  • sponsering: It has "e" where the word has "o". The right spelling is "sponsoring". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • sponsor: "sponsor" is missing the ending. The speaker says "sponsoring", with "ing" at the end.
Correct answer: young

Explanation: Listen again to "generation of young geniuses". You need a short describing word for the people mentioned.

Meaning: "young" means not old.

Wrong options:

  • yung: It leaves out the "o". The right spelling is "young". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • youth: "youth" is a different word form. The sentence needs a describing word.
Correct answer: university

Explanation: Here you hear "to your desired university anywhere". So you need the name of a place after "your".

Meaning: "university" means a place for higher study.

Wrong options:

  • unversity: It leaves out the "i". Write "university". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: leading

Explanation: The speaker says "from a leading corporation in India". It comes before "corporation", so the word ends in ing.

Meaning: "leading" means top or very important.

Wrong options:

  • leeding: It has "e" where the word has "a". Check the letters: "leading". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • leader: "leader" is a close word, but it ends in "er". The speaker says "leading", which ends in "ing".
Correct answer: major

Explanation: You hear "at all major department stores in major cities". The sentence needs a describing word for the cities, not a longer form.

Meaning: "major" means large or important.

Wrong options:

  • majority: "majority" has an extra "ity" at the end. The speaker says "major".
