Correct answer: wildflower

Explanation: Listen for "a wildflower meadow". It comes after "a", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "wildflower" means a flower that grows in nature, not planted.

Wrong options:

  • wilflower: It leaves out the "d". Write "wildflower". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • wildflowers: "wildflowers" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "wildflower", with no "s".
Correct answer: deciduous

Explanation: On the recording you hear "a deciduous forest". You need a describing word about trees.

Meaning: "deciduous" means trees that lose their leaves in one season.

Wrong options:

  • deciduos: It leaves out the "u". Check the letters: "deciduous". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: connectivity

Explanation: Listen again to "wellness and connectivity amongst". The word ends in ity, so listen for that sound.

Meaning: "connectivity" means how well people and places are linked together.

Wrong options:

  • connectivty: It leaves out the "i". Write "connectivity". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • connection: "connection" is a close word, but it ends in "on". The speaker says "connectivity", which ends in "vity".
Correct answer: fitness

Explanation: Here you hear "outdoor fitness equipment". You need a word for exercise activities.

Meaning: "fitness" means physical exercise and health activities.

Wrong options:

  • fitnes: It leaves out the "s". The right spelling is "fitness". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: complement

Explanation: The speaker says "designed to complement the". It comes after "to", so you need an action word.

Meaning: "complement" means to go well with and add to something.

Wrong options:

  • compliment: This is a different word that means praise. The speaker meant to match the landscape.
Correct answer: environmental

Explanation: You hear "eco-conscious environmental practices". The word is a describing word that ends in al.

Meaning: "environmental" means related to the natural world around us.
