Correct answer: productivity

Explanation: Here you hear "a productivity app". It comes after "a", so the word names a thing.

Meaning: "productivity" means work done well and how much you get done.

Wrong options:

  • productivty: It leaves out the "i". Check the letters: "productivity". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • productive: "productive" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "productivity", which ends in "ity".
Correct answer: intuitive

Explanation: The speaker says "user-friendly and intuitive". You need a describing word, ends in ive.

Meaning: "intuitive" means easy to use without much learning.

Wrong options:

  • intutive: It leaves out the "i". Write "intuitive". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • interactive: Interactive means you can interact, a different idea from easy to use.
Correct answer: priority

Explanation: You hear "based on priority". You need a word for the most important thing.

Meaning: "priority" means the thing that is most important first.

Wrong options:

  • prioriy: It leaves out the "t". Check the letters: "priority". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • priorities: "priorities" is a close word, but it ends in "ies". The speaker says "priority", which ends in "y".
Correct answer: scheduling

Explanation: Listen for "a scheduling tool". The word names the action of planning time and ends in ing.

Meaning: "scheduling" means planning when to do tasks or events.

Wrong options:

  • schedualing: It adds an extra "a". The right spelling is "scheduling". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • schedule: "schedule" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "scheduling", which ends in "ing".
Correct answer: authentication

Explanation: On the recording you hear "fingerprint authentication". It is a word for identity check, ending in tion.

Meaning: "authentication" means checking that it is really you.

Wrong options:

  • authentification: It adds an extra "fi". The right spelling is "authentication". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • authorization: Authorization means giving permission, not checking who someone is.
Correct answer: features

Explanation: Listen again to "refining our features to". It comes after our, so you need more than one thing and keep the s.

Meaning: "features" means the different parts or functions of the app.

Wrong options:

  • featues: It leaves out the "r". Check the letters: "features". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • feature: "feature" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "features", so write the "s".
