AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Correct answer: complex

Explanation: On the recording you hear "role of complex carbohydrates". The word comes before carbohydrates and shows a difference with simple.

Meaning: "complex" means not simple, slower energy from food.

Wrong options:

  • complx: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "complex". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • simple: Simple is a different kind of carbohydrate, not the right one here.
Correct answer: variety

Explanation: Listen again to "a variety of fruits and". It comes after 'a' and means more than one.

Meaning: "variety" means different kinds or many types.

Wrong options:

  • varity: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "variety". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • various: Various is a different word form and does not match the exact word you heard.
Correct answer: sufficient

Explanation: Here you hear "drinking sufficient water is". You need a word that tells how much, ends in ent.

Meaning: "sufficient" means enough for your needs.

Wrong options:

  • sufficent: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "sufficient". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: unhealthy

Explanation: The speaker says "resorting to unhealthy food choices". It comes before 'food' and means not good for health.

Meaning: "unhealthy" means bad for health.

Wrong options:

  • unhelthy: It leaves out the "a". Check the letters: "unhealthy". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: labels

Explanation: You hear "read nutrition labels on packaging". It follows 'nutrition' and is more than one, so add s.

Meaning: "labels" means the notes or information on a package.

Wrong options:

  • lables: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "labels". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • label: "label" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "labels", so write the "s".
Correct answer: occasional

Explanation: Listen for "enjoy occasional treats in moderation". You need a word for how often, ends in al.

Meaning: "occasional" means once in a while, not often.

Wrong options:

  • occassional: It adds an extra "s". Write "occasional". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • occasionally: "occasionally" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "occasional".
