Correct answer: quite

Explanation: Listen again to "have quite different". You need a word that tells how much, it ends in e.

Meaning: "quite" means to a large degree or very.

Wrong options:

  • quieet: It adds an extra "ee" and it leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "quite". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • quiet: "quiet" is a different word about silence and is not a word for how much.
Correct answer: remnants

Explanation: Here you hear "are remnants of volcanic". You need a word for things left over. Do not forget s at the end.

Meaning: "remnants" means pieces or parts left after something has gone.

Wrong options:

  • remnents: It has "e" where the word has "a". Write "remnants". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • remains: "remains" is a different word that sounds similar but does not match the spoken ending.
Correct answer: significant

Explanation: The speaker says "play a significant role". The sentence needs a describing word before role, it ends in ant.

Meaning: "significant" means important or having a big effect.

Wrong options:

  • signficant: It leaves out the "i". Write "significant". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • significance: "significance" is a close word, but it ends in "ce". The speaker says "significant", which ends in "t".
Correct answer: elements

Explanation: You hear "governed by these elements". You need more than one of these, so the word ends in s.

Meaning: "elements" means basic parts or things that make up something.

Wrong options:

  • elemnts: It leaves out the "e". The right spelling is "elements". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • element: "element" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "elements", so write the "s".
Correct answer: artefact / artifact

Explanation: Listen for "Ceremony and artefact". The phrase names a made thing people keep, so use only one. You can write "artefact" or "artifact". Both get the mark.

Meaning: "artefact" means a made object, often of cultural or historical interest.

Wrong options:

  • artefacts: "artefacts" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "artefact", with no "s".
Correct answer: narrow

Explanation: On the recording you hear "reside in a narrow waterway". It comes before "waterway", so you need a word for small, not wide.

Meaning: "narrow" means small in width, not wide.

Wrong options:

  • narow: It leaves out the "r". Check the letters: "narrow". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • narrowly: "narrowly" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "narrow".
