Meaning: "sustainability" means care for the environment that lasts a long time.

Wrong options:

• sustanability: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "sustainability". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• sustainable: "sustainable" is a close word, but it ends in "le". The speaker says "sustainability", which ends in "ility".

Correct answer: docking

Explanation: Listen for "more docking stations throughout". It comes before "stations", so you need a word that describes a thing.

Meaning: "docking" means the places where bikes connect to a station.

Wrong options:

• docks: "docks" is a close word, but it ends in "s". The speaker says "docking", which ends in "ing".

Correct answer: reliance

Explanation: On the recording you hear "reducing the reliance on". The sentence needs a word for a thing.

Meaning: "reliance" means dependence or use of something, here private cars.

Wrong options:

• relience: It has "e" where the word has "a". Check the letters: "reliance". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• reliant: "reliant" is a close word, but it ends in "t". The speaker says "reliance", which ends in "ce".

Correct answer: efficient

Explanation: Listen again to "more efficient and convenient". "More" is before it, so you need a describing word.

Meaning: "efficient" means working well without wasting time or energy.

Wrong options:

• efficent: It leaves out the "i". Check the letters: "efficient". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• efficiently: "efficiently" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "efficient".

Correct answer: pathways

Explanation: Here you hear "pedestrian pathways to ensure". You need more than one, so add s at the end.

Meaning: "pathways" means routes or walkways for people on foot.

Wrong options:

• pathwayes: It adds an extra "e". The right spelling is "pathways". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• pathway: "pathway" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "pathways", so write the "s".
