Correct answer: representative
Explanation: Listen for "around 2000 nationally representative survey". The missing word is a word for a thing that shows the sample represents the whole group.
Meaning: "representative" means showing the whole group, not just a few people.
Wrong options:
- representitive: It has "i" where the word has "a". Check the letters: "representative". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: majority
Explanation: On the recording you hear "the vast majority of people". You need a word that means more than one, do not forget the y at the end.
Meaning: "majority" means the larger number of people.
Wrong options:
- major: "major" is missing the ending. The speaker says "majority", with "ity" at the end.
Correct answer: worrisome
Explanation: Listen again to "being worrisome really". The sentence needs the same describing word you heard, so write it exactly.
Meaning: "worrisome" means causing worry or concern.
Wrong options:
- worrissome: It adds an extra "s". The right spelling is "worrisome". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
- worried: "worried" is a close word, but it ends in "ed". The speaker says "worrisome", which ends in "some".
Correct answer: intervention
Explanation: Here you hear "some government intervention or regulation". The sentence needs a word for an action the government can take, it ends in tion.
Meaning: "intervention" means a planned action by government to change something.
Wrong options:
- interaction: "interaction" is a different idea. The speaker spoke about a government action to change things.
Correct answer: specifically
Explanation: The speaker says "restricting unhealthy food advertising specifically to children". You need a word that tells how, so the word ends in ly.
Meaning: "specifically" means in a particular or clear way, aimed at children.
Wrong options:
- specificaly: It leaves out the "l". Write "specifically". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
- specific: "specific" is missing the ending. The speaker says "specifically", with "ally" at the end.
Correct answer: starting
Explanation: You hear "the private sector is starting to see". The sentence needs an action word that ends in ing.
Meaning: "starting" means beginning to do something.
Wrong options:
- startting: It adds an extra "t". Check the letters: "starting". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
- start: "start" is missing the ending. The speaker says "starting", with "ing" at the end.
Correct answer: modelling / modeling
Explanation: Listen for "an economic modelling platform". The missing word is a word for a type of study, and it ends in ing. You can write "modelling" or "modeling". Both get the mark.
Meaning: "modelling" means making a simplified study to show costs or effects.
Wrong options:
- model: "model" is missing the ending. The speaker says "modelling", with "ling" at the end.
