Meaning: "potential" means possible or likely.

Wrong options:

• potentail: Two letters are in the wrong order. The right spelling is "potential". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• potentially: "potentially" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "potential".

Correct answer: temptation

Explanation: The speaker says "I can see the temptation". The sentence needs only one idea, so use the single word.

Meaning: "temptation" means a wish to do something wrong or private.

Wrong options:

• tempation: It leaves out the "t". Check the letters: "temptation". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• temptations: "temptations" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "temptation", with no "s".

Correct answer: crossed

Explanation: You hear "has crossed an important line". This already happened, so the word ends in ed.

Meaning: "crossed" means went past or broke a limit.

Wrong options:

• crosed: It leaves out the "s". The right spelling is "crossed". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• cross: "cross" is missing the ending. The speaker says "crossed", with "ed" at the end.

Correct answer: follow

Explanation: Listen for "they were to follow you into". After "to" the sentence needs the plain word, not a changed form.

Meaning: "follow" means go after someone to see where they go.

Wrong options:

• folow: It leaves out the "l". Check the letters: "follow". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• followed: "followed" has an extra "ed" at the end. The speaker says "follow".

Correct answer: close

Explanation: On the recording you hear "a close friend about your". It comes before "friend", so you need a describing word for the person.

Meaning: "close" means someone you know well and trust.

Wrong options:

• cloes: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "close". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• closer: "closer" has an extra "r" at the end. The speaker says "close".

Correct answer: absolutely

Explanation: Listen again to "you'd be absolutely outraged". You need a word that tells how much, so it ends in ly.

Meaning: "absolutely" means completely or totally.

Wrong options:

• absolutly: It leaves out the "e". The right spelling is "absolutely". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
