Meaning: "qualified" means allowed or having the right to attend.

Wrong options:

• qualifed: It leaves out the "i". Write "qualified". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• qualify: "qualify" is a close word, but it ends in "y". The speaker says "qualified", which ends in "ied".

Correct answer: voluntary

Explanation: Listen again to "operated voluntary and". You need a describing word that ends in y.

Meaning: "voluntary" means not needed, done by choice.

Wrong options:

• volantary: It has "a" where the word has "u". Check the letters: "voluntary". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• voluntarily: "voluntarily" is a close word, but it ends in "ily". The speaker says "voluntary", which ends in "y".

Correct answer: steep

Explanation: Here you hear "pay a steep fee per". The sentence needs a short describing word for a high cost.

Meaning: "steep" means very high, often about price or cost.

Wrong options:

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

Correct answer: realized / realised

Explanation: The speaker says "The government soon realized that". This already happened, so the word ends in ed. You can write "realized" or "realised". Both get the mark.

Meaning: "realized" means suddenly understood or became aware of something.

Wrong options:

• realizd: It leaves out the "e". Write "realized". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• realize: "realize" is missing the ending. The speaker says "realized", with "d" at the end.

Correct answer: enrollment / enrolment

Explanation: You hear "preschool enrollment rate increased". It comes after 'preschool' and ends in ment. You can write "enrollment" or "enrolment". Both get the mark.

Meaning: "enrollment" means the number of children who join the preschool program.

Wrong options:

• enrollments: "enrollments" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "enrollment", with no "s".
