Correct answer: locally

Explanation: On the recording you hear "will feature locally sourced ingredients". The word ends in ly.

Meaning: "locally" means from nearby, in the local area.

Wrong options:

  • localy: It leaves out the "l". Check the letters: "locally". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • local: "local" is missing the ending. The speaker says "locally", with "ly" at the end.
Correct answer: signature

Explanation: Listen again to "our signature dish will be". It comes before "dish", so name the special item.

Meaning: "signature" means the special dish the restaurant is known for.

Wrong options:

  • signiture: It has "i" where the word has "a". Check the letters: "signature". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: salad

Explanation: Here you hear "a farm-to-table salad complete". It comes after "a", so you need a thing word.

Meaning: "salad" means a cold dish of vegetables or greens.

Wrong options:

  • salid: It has "i" where the word has "a". Write "salad". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • salami: "salami" is a close word, but it ends in "mi". The speaker says "salad", which ends in "d".
Correct answer: homemade

Explanation: The speaker says "a homemade dressing." You need a word that tells how it is made.

Meaning: "homemade" means made at the restaurant or made by hand, not store-bought.

Wrong options:

  • home made: This splits the word in two. It is one word. Write "homemade". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: selections

Explanation: You hear "dessert selections." It comes after "dessert", so you need more than one, add s.

Meaning: "selections" means several choices or options for dessert.

Wrong options:

  • selection: "selection" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "selections", so write the "s".
  • seletions: It leaves out the "c". The right spelling is "selections". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
