Correct answer: lighting

Explanation: On the recording you hear "importance of lighting. This". It comes after "of", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "lighting" means the light used to make a photo look good.

Wrong options:

  • ligthing: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "lighting". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • light: "light" is missing the ending. The speaker says "lighting", with "ing" at the end.
Correct answer: natural

Explanation: Listen again to "use of natural light to". It comes before "light", so you need a word that describes the light.

Meaning: "natural" means from the sun or not made by machines.

Wrong options:

  • natrual: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "natural". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • neutral: "neutral" is a different word and does not mean the same description.
Correct answer: exposure

Explanation: Here you hear "different exposure settings to". It comes before "settings", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "exposure" means how much light reaches the camera sensor.

Wrong options:

  • exposur: It leaves out the "e". The right spelling is "exposure". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • expose: "expose" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "exposure", which ends in "ure".
Correct answer: significantly

Explanation: The speaker says "can significantly improve photo". You need a word that tells how or how much, so the word ends in ly.

Meaning: "significantly" means by a large amount.

Wrong options:

  • significently: It has "e" where the word has "a". Check the letters: "significantly". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • significant: "significant" is missing the ending. The speaker says "significantly", with "ly" at the end.
Correct answer: pop

Explanation: You hear "make them pop, using various". It comes after "make them", so you need a short result or action word.

Meaning: "pop" means to stand out or look very clear and bright.

Wrong options:

  • pops: "pops" is a different form and does not fit after "make them".
