Meaning: "businesses" means companies or organisations.

Wrong options:

• buisnesses: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "businesses". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• business: "business" has no "es" at the end. The speaker says "businesses", so write the "es".

Correct answer: cyber

Explanation: The speaker says "latest cyber threats". It comes before "threats", so you need a short describing word. The word names the online area.

Meaning: "cyber" means related to computers and online systems.

Wrong options:

• cybur: It has "u" where the word has "e". Write "cyber". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• cybersecurity: "cybersecurity" has an extra "security" at the end. The speaker says "cyber".

Correct answer: access

Explanation: You hear "unauthorised access". It comes after "unauthorised", so you need the base word for entry. This is the word for system entry.

Meaning: "access" means entry to a system or to data.

Wrong options:

• acces: It leaves out the "s". The right spelling is "access". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• accesses: "accesses" has an extra "es" at the end. The speaker says "access", with no "es".

Correct answer: cybersecurity

Explanation: Listen for "latest cybersecurity trends". It comes before "trends", so you need the one-word area name. The full area name is said here.

Meaning: "cybersecurity" means protection of computers and networks.

Wrong options:

• cyber: "cyber" is missing the ending. The speaker says "cybersecurity", with "security" at the end.

Correct answer: bolster

Explanation: On the recording you hear "immensely bolster your defences". After "immensely" you need an action word that means make stronger. The word is an action word meaning support or strengthen.

Meaning: "bolster" means make stronger or support.

Wrong options:

• bolstor: It has "o" where the word has "e". Check the letters: "bolster". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• boost: This is a different word, not the exact word heard on the recording.
