Wrong options:

• indiginous: It has "i" where the word has "e". The right spelling is "indigenous". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.

Correct answer: scraps

Explanation: You hear "your kitchen scraps". The word follows "kitchen" and means more than one, so end with s.

Meaning: "scraps" means small bits of food left over.

Wrong options:

• scrapps: It adds an extra "p". Check the letters: "scraps". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.

Correct answer: pesticides

Meaning: "pesticides" means chemicals used to kill pests.

Wrong options:

• pesticieds: Two letters are in the wrong order. The right spelling is "pesticides". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• insecticides: This is a different word from what you hear on the recording.

Correct answer: healthiest

Explanation: On the recording you hear "saving seeds from your healthiest plants". The word describes the most healthy plants and ends in est.

Meaning: "healthiest" means most healthy.

Wrong options:

• healtiest: It leaves out the "h". Write "healthiest". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• healthy: "healthy" is a close word, but it ends in "y". The speaker says "healthiest", which ends in "iest".
