Correct answer: proportions

Explanation: On the recording you hear "right proportions to". You need a word for amounts, more than one so it ends in s.

Meaning: "proportions" means amounts or parts compared with each other.

Wrong options:

  • proportons: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "proportions". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • proportion: "proportion" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "proportions", so write the "s".
Correct answer: carbohydrates

Explanation: Listen again to "including carbohydrates, proteins". It is a word for energy foods, and it ends in s.

Meaning: "carbohydrates" means energy-giving foods like rice, bread, and pasta.

Wrong options:

  • carbohydates: It leaves out the "r". The right spelling is "carbohydrates". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • carbs: "carbs" is a close word, but it ends in "s". The speaker says "carbohydrates", which ends in "ohydrates".
Correct answer: fats

Explanation: Here you hear "healthy fats." It comes after "healthy", so you need more than one and an s.

Meaning: "fats" means oily nutrients the body uses for energy and growth.

Wrong options:

  • fat: The sentence lists items, so it needs more than one.
  • facts: That is a different word with another meaning.
Correct answer: diseases

Explanation: The speaker says "prevent chronic diseases and". This is about long-term illness, so it ends in s.

Meaning: "diseases" means illnesses that can last a long time.

Wrong options:

  • deseases: It has "e" where the word has "i". Check the letters: "diseases". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • disease: "disease" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "diseases", so write the "s".
