Correct answer: initiative

Explanation: On the recording you hear "'Read Together, Grow Together' initiative will". The sentence needs a single word for a new plan, check the spelling of initiative.

Meaning: "initiative" means a new plan or project.

Wrong options:

  • initative: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "initiative". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: interactive

Explanation: Listen again to "We've also planned interactive workshops where". You need a describing word that tells how the workshops work, it ends in ive.

Meaning: "interactive" means people take part and do activities.

Wrong options:

  • interative: It leaves out the "c". Write "interactive". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • interesting: Interesting is a different describing word. The sentence needs a word about how people take part.
Correct answer: literary

Explanation: Here you hear "guest speakers from various literary backgrounds". After "various" you need a describing word about books, it ends in ary.

Meaning: "literary" means connected with books and writing.

Wrong options:

  • litrary: It leaves out the "e". The right spelling is "literary". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • literally: "literally" is a close word, but it ends in "lly". The speaker says "literary", which ends in "ry".
Correct answer: bookshops

Explanation: The speaker says "a partnership with local bookshops, offering discounts". After "local" you need a word for shops that sell books, watch the double o in bookshops.

Meaning: "bookshops" means shops that sell books.

Wrong options:

  • bookshopes: It adds an extra "e". Check the letters: "bookshops". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • bookstores: Bookstores is a different word. The speaker used bookshops here.
