Meaning: "golden" means a yellowish colour like gold.

Wrong options:

• goldan: It has "a" where the word has "e". Check the letters: "golden". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• gold: "gold" is missing the ending. The speaker says "golden", with "en" at the end.

Correct answer: black

Explanation: Here you hear "has a distinctive black mark". You need a short describing word for the colour.

Meaning: "black" means the very dark colour with no light.

Wrong options:

• blak: It leaves out the "c". Check the letters: "black". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.

Correct answer: generous

Explanation: The speaker says "we are offering a generous reward". The word tells how big the reward is, so it ends in ous.

Meaning: "generous" means large or kind in amount.

Wrong options:

• generuos: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "generous". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• general: "general" is a close word, but it ends in "al". The speaker says "generous", which ends in "ous".

Correct answer: local

Explanation: You hear "seen him around the local park". The word describes the nearby area, so use the short word local.

Meaning: "local" means from the nearby area.

Wrong options:

• locol: It has "o" where the word has "a". Write "local". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.

Correct answer: worried

Explanation: Listen for "back home to his worried family". The word shows how the family feels, so it ends in ed.

Meaning: "worried" means feeling anxious or concerned.

Wrong options:

• woried: It leaves out the "r". Check the letters: "worried". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• worrying: This means causing worry, not the family's feeling.
