Correct answer: jazz

Explanation: On the recording you hear "annual jazz festival at". You need a word for a type of music, four letters.

Meaning: "jazz" means a style of music with strong rhythm and improvisation.

Wrong options:

  • jasz: It adds an extra "s" and it leaves out the "z". Check the letters: "jazz". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • jazzs: "jazzs" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "jazz", with no "s".
Correct answer: feast

Explanation: Listen again to "a visual feast". It comes after 'visual', so you need a word for a big pleasant thing.

Meaning: "feast" means a large, enjoyable display or event, not just food.

Wrong options:

  • feest: It has "e" where the word has "a". The right spelling is "feast". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • festival: The sentence already has 'festival' earlier, so it needs a different word here.
Correct answer: enchanted

Explanation: Here you hear "an enchanted night". You need a describing word that ends in ed.

Meaning: "enchanted" means magical or giving a strong, pleasing feeling.

Wrong options:

  • enchantid: It has "i" where the word has "e". Write "enchanted". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • enchanting: "enchanting" is a close word, but it ends in "ing". The speaker says "enchanted", which ends in "ed".
Correct answer: organic

Explanation: The speaker says "fresh, organic produce". It's a describing word that starts with o and ends in ic.

Meaning: "organic" means grown without artificial chemicals.

Wrong options:

  • organik: It has "k" where the word has "c". Write "organic". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
