Correct answer: lives

Explanation: Listen again to "every other facet of our lives". The word follows "our", so you need more than one and keep the s at the end.

Meaning: "lives" means the daily personal world and activities people have.

Wrong options:

  • livs: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "lives". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • life: This is only one, but the sentence needs more than one.
Correct answer: online

Explanation: Here you hear "stay safe online". The missing word describes being on the internet.

Meaning: "online" means connected to the internet.

Wrong options:

  • on-line: This adds a hyphen. The word has no hyphen. Write "online". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • offline: This is the opposite. The speaker meant being on the internet.
Correct answer: safety

Explanation: The speaker says "about online safety". You need a word for protection from danger when online.

Meaning: "safety" means protection from danger when you use the internet.

Wrong options:

  • saftey: Two letters are in the wrong order. The right spelling is "safety". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: software

Explanation: You hear "install software and a firewall". The sentence needs a word for a computer program.

Meaning: "software" means the programs and apps you use on a computer.

Wrong options:

  • softwear: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "software". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: fundamental

Explanation: Listen for "is fundamental to avoiding problems". The word is a describing word meaning very important.

Meaning: "fundamental" means very important or basic.

Wrong options:

  • fundemental: It has "e" where the word has "a". The right spelling is "fundamental". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
