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

Explanation: You hear "simplify life's daily tasks through smart automation". It comes after "smart", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "automation" means making tasks happen without hands on work.

Wrong options:

  • automaiton: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "automation". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • automaton: "automaton" is a close word, but it ends in "on". The speaker says "automation", which ends in "ion".
Correct answer: algorithms

Explanation: Listen for "machine learning algorithms to learn". It follows "learning", so you need more than one, do not forget s.

Meaning: "algorithms" means sets of steps the app uses to decide things.

Wrong options:

  • algorithims: It adds an extra "i". Check the letters: "algorithms". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • algorithm: "algorithm" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "algorithms", so write the "s".
Correct answer: incredibly

Explanation: On the recording you hear "The interface is incredibly user-friendly". You need a word that tells how, so it ends in ly.

Meaning: "incredibly" means very, to a large degree.

Wrong options:

  • incredably: It has "a" where the word has "i". Write "incredibly". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • incredible: "incredible" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "incredibly", which ends in "y".
Correct answer: interactions

Explanation: Listen again to "seamless interactions. Imagine your". It comes after "seamless", so you need a word for more than one thing, ends in s.

Meaning: "interactions" means the ways people or things act with each other.

Wrong options:

  • interations: It leaves out the "c". Write "interactions". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • interaction: "interaction" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "interactions", so write the "s".
Correct answer: intuitive

Explanation: Here you hear "every action is more intuitive and". The sentence uses "more" before the word, so you need a describing word.

Meaning: "intuitive" means easy to understand without training.

Wrong options:

  • intutive: It leaves out the "i". Write "intuitive". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • intuition: "intuition" is a close word, but it ends in "on". The speaker says "intuitive", which ends in "ve".
Correct answer: productive

Explanation: The speaker says "every moment more productive." The word follows "more", so you need a describing word.

Meaning: "productive" means giving good results or saving time.

Wrong options:

  • produtive: It leaves out the "c". The right spelling is "productive". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • production: "production" is a close word, but it ends in "on". The speaker says "productive", which ends in "ve".
