Correct answer: fundamental

Explanation: You hear "focus on fundamental exercises". You need a describing word for exercises, not a thing or idea.

Meaning: "fundamental" means basic or very important.

Wrong options:

  • fundemental: It has "e" where the word has "a". The right spelling is "fundamental". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • fundamentals: "fundamentals" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "fundamental", with no "s".
Correct answer: caution

Explanation: Listen for "done with caution to avoid". After "done with" the sentence needs the specific single word 'caution'.

Meaning: "caution" means care to avoid danger or harm.

Wrong options:

  • cauton: It leaves out the "i". Check the letters: "caution". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: resistance

Explanation: On the recording you hear "introduce resistance training to". This word describes the kind of training the speaker means.

Meaning: "resistance" means exercises that work muscles against force.

Wrong options:

  • resistence: It has "e" where the word has "a". Write "resistance". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: pivotal

Explanation: Listen again to "plays a pivotal role in". You need a strong describing word, the speaker uses a shorter formal word.

Meaning: "pivotal" means very important or central here.

Wrong options:

  • pivital: It has "i" where the word has "o". Check the letters: "pivotal". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: indispensable

Explanation: Here you hear "Rest days are indispensable, allowing". The sentence uses a very strong describing word after 'are'.

Meaning: "indispensable" means absolutely necessary and cannot be left out.

Wrong options:

  • indispensible: It has "i" where the word has "a". Check the letters: "indispensable". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: realistic

Explanation: The speaker says "setting realistic goals will". The word comes before "goals" so it must describe the goals as sensible.

Meaning: "realistic" means sensible and likely to be achieved.

Wrong options:

  • realestic: It has "e" where the word has "i". Check the letters: "realistic". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • real: "real" is missing the ending. The speaker says "realistic", with "istic" at the end.
