Correct answer: sustainability

Explanation: On the recording you hear "focuses on sustainability and enhancing". You need a word for a long-term plan, so watch the full spelling.

Meaning: "sustainability" means lasting care for the environment and resources.

Wrong options:

  • sustanability: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "sustainability". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • sustainabilitys: "sustainabilitys" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "sustainability", with no "s".
Correct answer: mobility

Explanation: Listen again to "promoting eco-friendly mobility." The sentence needs a word for movement and transport.

Meaning: "mobility" means the ability to move or travel easily in the area.

Wrong options:

  • movility: It has "v" where the word has "b". Check the letters: "mobility". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: efficient

Explanation: Here you hear "both sustainable and efficient for". You need a describing word that ends in ent.

Meaning: "efficient" means using little energy or resources to do a job well.

Wrong options:

  • eficient: It leaves out the "f". Check the letters: "efficient". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • effective: This gives a different idea. The speaker meant low energy use.
Correct answer: resilient

Meaning: "resilient" means able to recover quickly from problems or damage.

Wrong options:

  • resistant: This means not affected, not the same idea of quick recovery.
Correct answer: sustainable

Explanation: You hear "and sustainable for future generations." The sentence needs a describing word like lasting over time.

Meaning: "sustainable" means able to continue without harming the environment or resources.

Wrong options:

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