AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Correct answer: definition

Explanation: On the recording you hear "classical or modernistic definition". The sentence needs a word for a thing that names an idea.

Meaning: "definition" means a word for a thing that names what something is.

Wrong options:

  • definiton: It leaves out the "i". Write "definition". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • definitions: "definitions" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "definition", with no "s".
Correct answer: radically

Explanation: Listen again to "organization, radically opposed to". You need a word that tells how or how much, so it ends in ly.

Meaning: "radically" means in a deep or strong way.

Wrong options:

  • radicaly: It leaves out the "l". The right spelling is "radically". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • radical: "radical" is missing the ending. The speaker says "radically", with "ly" at the end.
Correct answer: economists

Explanation: Here you hear "The so called orthodox economists of". It refers to more than one person, so do not forget the s.

Meaning: "economists" means more than one person who studies the economy.

Wrong options:

  • econmists: It leaves out the "o". Write "economists". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • economist: "economist" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "economists", so write the "s".
Correct answer: capitalistic

Explanation: The speaker says "accepted the capitalistic system". It is a describing word that ends in ic.

Meaning: "capitalistic" means about the system of private capital and business.

Wrong options:

  • capitalistc: It leaves out the "i". Check the letters: "capitalistic". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • capitalist: "capitalist" is missing the ending. The speaker says "capitalistic", with "ic" at the end.
Correct answer: peculiar

Explanation: You hear "analyze the peculiar operations incident". Look for a describing word that fits these operations.

Meaning: "peculiar" means strange or specific to that system.

Wrong options:

  • particular: This word has a different meaning and does not match the sense here.
