Correct answer: main

Explanation: Here you hear "two main things, one". It follows "two", so you need a word for the most important thing.

Meaning: "main" means most important.

Wrong options:

  • mane: It leaves out the "i" and it adds an extra "e". Write "main". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: visuals

Explanation: The speaker says "the visuals could be a". The sentence needs more than one, so add s.

Meaning: "visuals" means pictures or videos used to show something.

Wrong options:

  • visulas: Two letters are in the wrong order. The right spelling is "visuals". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • visual: "visual" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "visuals", so write the "s".
Correct answer: interesting

Explanation: You hear "finding interesting visual ways of". The word before "visual" must be a describing word that ends in ing.

Meaning: "interesting" means causing attention or curiosity.

Wrong options:

  • intresting: It leaves out the "e". Write "interesting". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • interested: "interested" is a close word, but it ends in "ed". The speaker says "interesting", which ends in "ing".
Correct answer: slogan

Explanation: Listen for "The slogan, which is a". After "The" you need a short word for a phrase used in ads.

Meaning: "slogan" means a short phrase used to promote something.

Wrong options:

  • slogun: It has "u" where the word has "a". The right spelling is "slogan". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: short

Explanation: On the recording you hear "should be short and". The missing word means not long in words, so use short.
