Correct answer: significantly

Explanation: Here you hear "can significantly improve". You need a word that tells how much, so it ends in ly.

Meaning: "significantly" means by a large amount.

Wrong options:

  • signficantly: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "significantly". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • significant: "significant" is missing the ending. The speaker says "significantly", with "ly" at the end.
Correct answer: consciously

Explanation: The speaker says "decide to consciously limit". You need a word that tells how, so it ends in ly.

Meaning: "consciously" means on purpose or with awareness.

Wrong options:

  • conciously: It leaves out the "s". The right spelling is "consciously". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • conscious: "conscious" is missing the ending. The speaker says "consciously", with "ly" at the end.
Correct answer: bedtime

Explanation: You hear "avoiding devices before bedtime". It comes after "before", so you need a time word.

Meaning: "bedtime" means the time when you go to bed.

Wrong options:

  • bed time: This splits the word in two. It is one word. Write "bedtime". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: fosters

Explanation: Listen for "also fosters a stronger". It comes after "also", so you need an action word that ends in s.

Meaning: "fosters" means helps to grow or build up.

Wrong options:

  • foster: "foster" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "fosters", so write the "s".
